“I don’t think that’s necessary.”
When Shaun left, Joseph gave him a phone and reminded him to call the emergency number if he ever got into trouble. Since he had not made a call so far, it proved that he had a good life with Yuna.
All aspects of the social conditions of the adopting family were strictly screened, including their character. Emery was overthinking as she did not know much about this.
Before long, Audrey got changed into a new dress. She came down the stairs joyously, with Gregory following behind her.
He should be attending online classes at this time. Why is he here?
“Gregory, did something happen?” I asked.
“No.” Gregory lifted his head and stared at me, determination shining in his eyes. “Mommy, I would like to tag along with you guys.”
Before I could react, he walked past me and walked toward Joseph. “Mr. Campbell, please arrange the car and a few subordinates. You’ll be going with us too.”
“Yes, Mr. Gregory.”
Upon saying that, Joseph left the living room.
Only then did I notice Gregory had changed his clothes too. So, he has made up his mind. He wasn’t asking for my permission; he was merely informing me.
With that, I let out a helpless sigh. He’s just like Ashton.
In the end, Emery, Audrey, and I got into one car while Joseph and Gregory were in another car, followed by a van with bodyguards.
It took around two hours to get from the western district to Coldbridge.
Yuna’s family was a moderate-income family. However, as their ancestors were from K City, they inherited quite an outstanding residence. It seemed that most of the residents around there possessed a car as we rarely saw someone on foot. Not to mention, there were a lot of plantations in this area. In this K City, where lands were overpriced, this area could be considered a piece of heaven.
After parking the car in front of the building, we went inside.
Getting out of the elevator, Joseph went out and pressed the doorbell. Ding Dong…
“Shaun!” Audrey could not suppress her excitement any longer.
The temperature in the building was quite high.
Even though there were only two units per floor, and we were on the eleventh floor, the heat was still noticeable. Besides, since it was summer, the ventilation was not that good. The heat was more obvious especially since we had just got out of an air-conditioned car.
There was no response from inside the door for a long while. Noticing that, Joseph knocked on the door a few more times.
Still, no one came to open the door.
My heart skipped a beat as I realized it was the weekend. There was a high chance they had taken Shaun out to play.
I should have listened to Emery’s advice and contacted them beforehand. It would have prevented us from wasting time.
“Mommy.” Audrey started to run out of patience as she sweated profusely. “Why isn’t Shaun opening the door? Is he blaming me for not waiting for him?”
“No, it’s not like that. Shaun must have gone out with his parents. We’ll see him in a short while.”
Feeling guilty, I asked Joseph to call Yuna and ask about their location. I figured we could go meet them to save time.
Yuna picked up the phone right after the call went through. “Hello, Mr. Campbell. What is it?”
“It’s me, Scarlett. May I ask where you are now? Are you free to talk?” I uttered.
“Sure. I’m resting at home. What is it?” Yuna smiled.
“You’re at home?” I shifted my gaze toward the door with a confused look. “Well, that’s great. We are stopping by to check on Shaun. We’re at your door now. Could you open the door for us?”
