Chapter 783
He regretted not taking the chance to be with her every day for the last five years. He had an opportunity to be with her at first, but he gave her up to Jonathan.
She might not have fallen into the sea if she had not been with Jonathan.
The car arrived at the entrance of the Youngblood residence, but the security guards stopped it.
“I want to see Rosalie!” Calvin stepped off the driveway.
The security guard recognized Calvin and informed him, “Mrs. Youngblood has gone out and hasn’t returned yet. If you wish to see her, please make another appointment for next time, Mr. Gunner.”
Calvin did not leave. Instead, he waited at the entrance of the Youngblood Residence.
He was determined to wait for her return. A few hours was nothing compared to five years of waiting.
When the Youngblood family security guards saw that, they did not know what to say. After all, Calvin was an influential man in the entertainment industry, and he was not inside the Youngblood residence. Therefore, the guards could not make him leave.
Meanwhile, Rosalie and Jennifer took the subway back to the Youngblood residence.
That day, when she went out, Gary had prepared a car, but Rosalie still chose to take the bus and subway. She wanted to show Jennifer around Strico. After all, Strico was the city where she grew up and fell in love with Jonathan. She thought Jennifer would also grow up in that city. “Mommy, can we go and have fun with Aido again next time? Let’s bring Guille, too!” Jennifer said. She had a good impression of Aiden.
“Okay. Next time, I will take you and Guille to Amelia’s house to visit Aido,” Rosalie said with a smile.
Earlier that day, she took Jennifer to visit Amelia. Due to the liver transplant surgery, Amelia naturally did not have the energy to run a diner as before. So, she opened a concession stand near Petra Design Institute No. 1.
Her business was doing well. And since it was the elementary school- Aiden attended, it was convenient for him to go to school and get home.
Rosalie saw Aiden that day. He was no longer the little boy she
remembered. He was nine years old and had naturally grown much taller.
Aiden’s cheeks were no longer chubby, and he had become a handsome young man. Rosalie thought he would be popular among the ladies when he grew up.
In fact, at around noon that day, Rosalie saw a little girl deliberately going to the concession stand to buy things and confess her love to him. Rosalie could not help but marvel at the precociousness of the children. When she was nine, such a concept did not seem to exist.
However, Aiden calmly rejected the girl, “I’m sorry. I do not like you.” It was fair to assume that he had encountered many such incidents. The girl left the shop in disappointment. When Rosalie looked at Aiden’s calm rejection, Warren’s face flashed through her mind. She had to say that Aiden was more and more like Warren, especially when he stood there quietly, rejecting people. However, Aiden’s eyes resembled Amelia’s. When Aiden saw Rosalie, his eyes suddenly turned red. He was shocked, happy, and excited.
After that, the boy who had been calm when he had rejected a girl moments before suddenly turned into a boy Rosalie had known five years ago. He threw himself into Rosalie’s arms and hugged her. After a while, when Aiden came to and realized he was still holding Rosalie, his childish face suddenly flushed. He was shy but at a loss. Rosalie smiled unconsciously. “Aiden is still the same as before,” she thought.
Guillermo was in kindergarten, so Rosalie only brought Jennifer there that day. The two children got along well with each other.
The only interlude was that Jennifer curiously looked at the hearing aid on Aiden’s ear and tried to pull it with her hand. It ended up almost falling into a cup of water.
Rosalie hurriedly explained the hearing aid to Jennifer and warned her not to take it off at will.
Jennifer blinked her eyes and seemed a little confused. “Can’t you hear without it, Aido?”
“I can’t, so I have to wear it,” Aiden replied, putting the hearing aid back
After he had grown older, he understood more about the discrimination against people with disabilities.
With a hearing aid, he was no different from a normal person. Still, some people at school would always point at him, either showing sympathy or making fun of him.
“This hearing aid is so cool! It is great that you can hear, Aido. This way, I can play many beautiful songs for you in the future! Even my mentor praised me for playing well!” Jennifer said with bright eyes.
If there had been a piano, she would have played something right away. Aiden froze momentarily when he looked at Jennifer. “She is genuinely happy that I can hear! It is quite different from the reactions of others when they find out that I have a hearing problem. For some reason, her smile makes me feel warm,” Aiden thought.
“Okay. I look forward to seeing you perform, Jen!” Music was not a beautiful sound to him because what he heard with his hearing aid was just a mechanical sound.
Aiden could understand words but could not hear the melody of music. Therefore, he could never hear melodic tunes.
However, as he looked at Jennifer, who was much shorter than him, he felt excited to hear her music.
Rosalie was happy that Jennifer and Aiden
learned from talking to Amelia that Amel were getting along. She
situation had been stable for the past few years. She only had to take medication for the first two years after the surgery. Although she was no longer on medication, she still had to go for a check-up every six months.
“I read the news. Warren helped you get your case overturned, and Irene was sentenced to five years in prison. You were wronged,” Rosalie said.
Warren himself paid a heavy price for that case. Although Irene influenced his original confession, the legal sanctions he had to accept were limited.
Nevertheless, York Group’s shares had dropped significantly. Even the group’s reputation had an unpredictable negative impact.
