Chapter 253 Unmasking the Lies (1)
Just then, Carolline heard footsteps upstairs. She rushed up quickly and saw someone she knew throwing away trash. She greeted them and then returned home.
Bryan Hawkins didn’t catch up to her; instead, he exited through the safety staircase and took the elevator down.
As Carolline went upstairs, she saw her father and son still moving the things Bryan Hawkins bought for Axel. Axel was chirping like a noisy little sparrow, nonstop talking to Henry Ruiz, who was listening patiently with a smile.
When they saw Carolline return, Henry Ruiz didn’t ask much, but Axel’s eyes were full of laughter. "Mom, did you bring dad back? When is he coming again?"
"...." At that moment, Carolline really wanted to sew Axel’s chattering little mouth shut, but since he already said it, there was nothing she could do. She glanced guiltily at Henry Ruiz and said, "Dad, um... I’ll take the rest."
Henry Ruiz didn’t object, leaving the remaining two bags of items for Carolline to take.
With all these things, a corner of the dining room was piled high and full. Carolline found it headache-inducing, but Axel seemed to love it. It was as if Carolline hadn’t bought him clothes or toys for all these years.
"Axel, Mom will run the water for you. You go fetch your clothes and brush your teeth and bathe yourself." Not wanting to explain further, Carolline needed to act fast since there were only fifteen minutes left until nine o’clock.
"Oh. Mom, can I check the clothes dad bought for me? I want to pick one to wear tomorrow." Axel wanted to wear something his dad bought right away and see how good his taste was.
