Chapter 263: Chapter 263: Shameless (2)

This is what he owed to Carolline Ruiz and Axel all these years. If it weren’t for her in the capacity of a deputy director, Axel would have been bullied by those children. A child with no father around is somewhat special in the eyes of other children. Every time she witnessed this, she felt heartbroken for Axel and thought it was unfair to Carolline.

"Auntie, let me help you with that." Bryan Hawkins’s eyes lit up. He had not expected Emily Hill to invite him in. No matter how harshly Emily Hill might rebuke him later, he would bear it all. As long as he could enter the house, he would be happy.

Emily Hill wasn’t acting shy at all, she handed all the bags, except for her own, to him. At the same time, Bryan also took a few bags from Carolline’s hands.

Carolline was completely confused about what her mother was thinking. She silently followed them back home.

"I bought some marinated dishes, Carolline, take them out for lunch. You cook lunch. I need to talk business with Mr. Hawkins." Once the three entered, Emily Hill assigned tasks and then turned to Bryan Hawkins, "Put those things on the tea table first."

After that, Emily Hill went to wash her face and returned.

Carolline took the so-called marinated dishes and without giving Bryan Hawkins another glance, she went to the kitchen.

Before starting to cook, she poured two cups of boiled water and placed them on the tea table. Emily Hill hadn’t emerged yet. She knew that Bryan Hawkins enjoyed fine teas, but the house only had simple flower tea now. "We don’t have any green tea or the like. You’ll have to make do with boiled water."

"That’s fine." Bryan Hawkins looked at Carolline, no matter what she poured, even if it was ordinary tap water, as long as she poured it, he would drink it.

Feeling goosebumps from his gaze, Carolline got up and headed for the kitchen without raising her head.

Emily Hill came out soon. Seeing the two cups of water on the tea table, and Bryan Hawkins sipping from one, she sat down in the single-seat sofa beside Bryan Hawkins. Before she could say anything, Bryan Hawkins spoke up first, "Auntie, you can just call me Bryan."

"I wouldn’t dare. Mr. Hawkins is our benefactor at Star Kindergarten." Emily Hill pouted. When she wanted to be difficult, she could be very difficult.

"..." Bryan Hawkins’ face turned pale, and then he sighed, "Auntie, I know I was wrong. I deserve your anger. All these years, I really didn’t know that Carolline did not marry Andy Aguirre, nor did I know... Axel is my son."

"You say you didn’t know?" Emily Hill couldn’t help but look at him. Was it possible for a man as smart as him to be ignorant for five years? Who would believe that?

"It’s true, if it weren’t for my sudden return, I would have had no idea." What Bryan Hawkins wanted to say was, if it hadn’t been for his sudden realization, he didn’t know how many years would be wasted between him and Carolline.

"Who did you fight with?" Suddenly, Emily Hill changed the subject, and Bryan Hawkins almost couldn’t keep up.

"Andy Aguirre punched me." Bryan Hawkins told the truth. The punch from Andy Aguirre must have been with his full strength, otherwise, the swelling wouldn’t be so apparent. It was so obvious that anyone could see it.

"Ha, good for him." Emily Hill showed no sympathy for him, "We won’t talk about other things for now. I invited you up to save time to discuss your investment. Is this a personal investment or will you be investing in the name of your company?"

"...Personal, I guess." Emily Hill’s topic changed quite quickly. Even the quick-reacting Bryan Hawkins took a few seconds to catch up.
