Chapter 123: Adopted Son
[ At Country M... ]
"Grandpa, I overheard your conversation with our Mom yesterday. Uncle Dmitri is going to visit Country Z, can I tag along with him?" Aaron asked, tugging Miguel’s sleeve.
Miguel brought Aaron and Kimmy to De Luca Mansion to meet Dmitri. The young little girl was playing with Dmitri right now while little Aaron approached his grandpa.
"But you have class, my dear."
Miguel crouched down to look at him at his eye-level.
"I miss Mommy and Aunt Athena. Can I stay there for five days, Grandpa? Please..."
The middle-aged man scratched his face. He couldn’t refuse Aaron’s request because he doted on his grandson.
"Hmm, I can’t allow you to tag along with your Uncle Dmitri. He has something important to do in York City. It’s business-related."
Aaron crumpled his face when he heard that. He was a bit disappointed. However, Miguel spoke again to console him.
"Alright. I will accompany you to Country Z. We will go there together."
Aaron hastily gazed up with his twinkling eyes. He was grateful to his grandpa. He started jumping, hugging him.
"Thank you, Grandpa! You’re the best."
