Chapter 409
I was surprised. âSo soon? When did you arrive in Jelaston?â
âThis afternoon.â Jack laughed. âDo you want to go out for dinner or eat at home? Do you need me to bring anything?â
âHold on a moment.â I moved the phone away, asked Danny quietly,â Sweetie, do you want to eat at home or go out tonight?â
âI want to eat the food made by Charlotte!â Danny answered instinctively, but then seemed to think of something and quickly added,â Hmm, never mind. I donât want to go out, so can we just order takeaway? I can still treat you to dinner!â
I brought the phone back to my ear and smiled. âJack, you donât need to bring anything. Just come over.â
Jack nodded.
After hanging up, I pinched Dannyâs soft cheek and asked, âYou just said you want to taste my cooking, right? Why donât you want to now?â
âUncle warned me.â
âWarned you about what?â
âUncle saidâ¦â The little one mumbled, âNot to cause you any trouble. If you gets tired, he will go and defeat Superman!â
âDefeat Superman?â
âYeah!â
Danny nodded vigorously, his eyes rolling around. âCharlotte, can you protect Superman?â
I canât believe these twoâ¦â

One dared to speak nonsense and the other believed him.
Frank didnât care about the childâs mental state at all.
Seeing that I wasnât speaking, Danny lay on my lap, propping up his hea., âCharlotte, is someone coming to our house? Who is it?â
âA man.â
âA man?â
Danny suddenly seemed to catch on to something and asked urgently,â What kind of man? Is he like my uncle or like my daddy?â
âWhatâs the difference?â
âThe difference is age.â
I couldnât help but laugh. âIs your dad very old?â
âHmm⦠not really old.â Danny answered seriously, âItâs just that Mommy often says heâs an oldâfashioned.â
âPfft!â
I couldnât help but laugh out loud.
I didnât expect Alana to be as outspoken as Frank.
She criticized her husband with the same vigor.
Danny didnât forget the main point and said brightly, âCharlotte, you still havenât answered my question!â
âHmm, heâs not old. Heâs like your uncle.â
Danny immediately scrambled off my lap, turned around, and started running towards the door, one of his little slippers flying off.
âWhat are you doing?â

âI suddenly need to pee!â
âThereâs a bathroom hereâ¦â
âNo, Charlotte, I⦠I⦠Iâ¦â I picked him up, thinking he was just shy, and said, âCanât you take off your pants by yourself yet?â
âNo!â
âThen go ahead. If you need help, just call me.â
I put him in the bathroom, but he looked like he was about to cry. âI⦠I suddenly donât want to pee anymoreâ¦â
I was skeptical. âReally?â
âYeah! Really!â
The little one walked out of the bathroom, looking dejected, and looked up at me, âCharlotte, can I play with the phone for a while?â
âNo, the phone is bad for your eyes and will affect your vision.â
âPlease!â He tugged at my skirt with a pitiful look, gently shaking it. Please, just for a little while!â
My heart softened and handed him the phone. âAlright.â

He overjoyed, took the phone, and clambered up onto the sofa to nestle in a corner and start playing.
However, his little brows were furrowed deeply.
I was curious. âWhatâs wrong?â
Other kids would usually watch cartoons when they get a phone.
But he was quietly scrolling through his own WhatsApp.
