Chapter 1339: Master Glenn Decides to Take in Esteban
Afternoon.
Cheyenne was delivering hot chicken soup to the hospital, while Kelvin had to meet with the Taswyan Emperor for some undisclosed matter. He kept it a secret from Cheyenne, making it all mysterious.
Coincidentally, Princess Sierra, who happened to be present, noticed that he was alone entering the palace and immediately approached him like a clingy child.
“Mr. Foley, why isn’t your wife with you this time? Did you two have a fight?” Her eyes sparkled, as if she hoped they were having marital issues.
Kelvin didn’t even glance at her and walked past her towards Duke Peberdy’s direction. “Princess, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but my wife and I are very much in love. She couldn’t come with me today because of some matters.”
“Duke Peberdy, thank you for the introduction.”
After spending these few days together, Duke Peberdy had grown quite fond of Kelvin. This man from Chulae was different from the cunning and sly businessmen he knew. Kelvin’s methods and strategies resembled those of a smooth politician.
“Mr. Foley, please follow me.”
The two of them left together, chatting and laughing, leaving Princess Sierra fuming behind them.
To Kelvin, she was nothing more than an insignificant clown. To Duke Peberdy, Princess Sierra was merely his future duchess and a potential alliance for his family. Nothing more.
“Hey! Kelvin, Peberdy… stop right there, damn it! How dare you ignore this princess!” Unfortunately, the two men had already walked far away, and no one answered her.
Meanwhile, Cheyenne had also arrived at the hospital.
The ward was bustling with activity as Glenn brought Sasha and the now awake Esteban to visit Pearl.
The previously cold and empty ward was now filled with the fragrance of flowers, with beautiful fruit baskets everywhere.
Such extravagance could only be attributed to Master Glenn.
A deep voice came from the ward. “Miss Gilliam, thank you for taking care of my daughter during this time. I owe you a favor. Here’s my business card. If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to find me.”
Pearl looked at the business card being handed to her but didn’t reach out to take it. She raised her head with clear eyes and said, “Mr. Weaver, you’re too kind. I took care of Sasha because I genuinely like her. We have a connection.”
She didn’t want his repayment.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“Miss Gilliam, if you have any other requests…”
Pearl promptly declined, “No! Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Weaver.”
This was the first time Glenn had been so eager to repay someone but was rejected.
He was struggling with how to make Pearl state her conditions when she started chatting with Esteban.
“Esteban, thank you for saving me with your blood that day.”
“I’m sorry about your mother’s death. I don’t expect you to forgive the Gilliam family, but I hope you can give me a chance to make amends on their behalf.”
“Do you want to stay… let me take care of you? In the future, I will treat you like my own brother.”
Giana died because of Libby’s plot, ultimately making Pearl feel guilty whenever she saw Esteban.
She felt sorry for this poor child.
Esteban was a reasonable person. He reached out his hand and comfortingly patted Pearl’s shoulder, his voice still somewhat childish in the room.
“The person who killed my parents is Mr. Gilliam, not you.”
“Pearl, I hope you won’t force me. Since my parents’ death, Taswya is no longer my home.”
He couldn’t blame Pearl but also didn’t want to stay and face the rebuilt Gilliam family.
As for where he should go…
Esteban hadn’t figured that out himself yet.
For now, he would take it one step at a time.
At that moment, Sasha, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up. “Daddy, why don’t we take Esteban with us? I really like him.”
Sasha’s use of the word “like” made Master Glenn’s face darken.
But facing his beloved daughter, he couldn’t bear to get angry and could only try to persuade her to give up on this idea in a coaxing manner.
“Sasha, listen to Daddy. You’re still young and don’t understand what ‘like’ means yet. Let’s discuss this when we get back home, okay?”
Originally, Esteban was just a child. Even if there were a hundred more Estebans, he could afford to take care of them all.
But when he heard that Yaoyao said she liked Esteban earlier, Master Glenn’s heart couldn’t help but ache.
In the end, he didn’t have a hobby of raising someone else’s son.
Unexpectedly, Sasha, who had always been obedient, rebelled against his command this time!
With teary eyes and her lower lip trembling, she looked up at him with tears glistening on her eyelashes as if they would fall any second.
She even tugged at his clothes pitifully, acting spoiled.
“Daddy, Esteban is really good. I want to take him with us. He’s so pitiful; can we take him in?”
“I have pocket money; Esteban can use my pocket money.”
Despite being only three and a half years old, Sasha had received enough red envelopes and pocket money from Eddie and Leandro to last a lifetime. She was practically a little rich girl with all the gifts she received from Cheyenne and Reece…
Esteban felt warmth in his heart.
He never expected Sasha to be so attached to him. Even if he had no family left, he believed he could still survive!
Glenn realized that he hadn’t taken good care of Sasha during this period and felt guilty towards her. Now that his daughter was acting so pitifully and clinging to him like this, his once cold heart softened by half.
He lifted Sasha up with one hand while Pearl wiped away her tears with the other.
“Alright, stop crying now. Daddy promises you can bring him along.”
Upon hearing that Daddy agreed to bring Esteban along, Sasha immediately stopped crying and smiled through her tears.
She gave him a kiss on the cheek and her eyes were still slightly red, making her look as cute as a little rabbit.
“Thank you, Daddy. You’re truly the best daddy in the world!”
Glenn felt proud inside and wished Kelvin were there to witness it. He couldn’t help but feel jealous!
[Did you hear that? My Sasha just said I’m the best daddy in the world.]
Esteban’s living arrangements were also settled. The young boy looked at Sasha with bright eyes.
“Thank you, little sister. From now on, I will protect you for a lifetime.”
After finding his daughter again, Master Glenn’s biggest concern now was his wife who was still in the country and pregnant.
He planned to bid farewell to Kelvin and Cheyenne and return home with his two children first.
Based on the timeline, Kate’s pregnancy should be around seven months now.
During the later stages of pregnancy, pregnant women definitely needed someone by their side.
Cheyenne nodded in agreement and said, “Yes, Kate must be missing Sasha too. You should go back early and take care of her.”
“I will. Thank you both for your help this time.”
If it weren’t for them, he wouldn’t have found Sasha so quickly.
