Chapter 263
After the agent left, Julian looked at Valerie “Valerie, I have something to discuss with you. I plan to move into the shop tonight. There’s no air conditioning in the shop. I’m worried that Aiden will catch a cold. Can you please take care of him?”
Valerie said, “Of course, Julian. Coincidentally, I miss Aiden too. Let him stay with me for the next few days. We’ll talk about it after you settle down.”
Julian heaved a sigh of relief. “Alright, Aiden will stay with you. I don’t have to worry. After the house is sold, I will bring him back as soon as possible!”
Valerie said, “Yes, I’ll take good care of him. But Julian, don’t be anxious. Wait for the right price before you sell it. Don’t lose money because of this.” It was not easy to earn money, so there was no need to be angry.
Valerie did not know how much Julian had heard. Seeing that he had calmed down, she left with Aiden.
On the way, Aiden looked outside and asked quietly, “Valerie, don’t you want to inform Matthew? Are you taking me back just like that?”
Valerie smiled. The little guy was quite thoughtful. “No, he won’t have a problem. with that.”
She looked at Aiden’s adult–like appearance and sighed in her heart. This child was really too sensible. He thought about everything for others.
She thought, ‘How can Ashley bear to abandon such a young child?”
She sighed in her heart and did not say anything. After bringing Aiden home, Matthew had already returned.
Valerie roughly told him about what happened. Then, she said, “Aiden will stay with us for the next few days. We’ll talk about what to do after that When Julian settles down.”
Valerie did not say the specifics, and Matthew did not ask. He had seen Ashley a few times before and knew that the woman had evil intentions. It was not surprising that she would do anything. However, Aiden was a good child.
“Hello, Matthew!” After what happened previously, Aiden was no longer afraid of
Matthew.
Matthew patted hits head. “How are you?”
“I’m good,” Aiden continued, “Matthew, I haven’t been here for a few days. Can you continue to teach me how to play the piano today?”
Matthew replied, “Alright, let’s see if you’ve improved.”
This was not the first time the little guy came here to play the piano. Seeing that Matthew agreed, he went straight to the piano. He was still short and had to struggle to climb onto the chair.
However, it was different from the past. Although Aiden smiled and said that he was not sad today, when he played the piano, the more Aiden thought about it, the sadder he became. The song under
his hand could not help but become sad. It made others sad. It was clearly a relatively cheerful song, but there was a natural sadness when Aiden played it.
Valerie looked at him in surprise and saw Aiden immersed in the piano piece. He seemed to have fused with the piece, and his back view was so sad.
Valerie and Matthew could not help but look at each other. Aiden did not play the piano like this in the past. It seemed that what happened tonight had indeed affected him. This kid said that it did not matter, but his emotions when playing the piano betrayed him. This little guy was so sensible that it made one’s heart ache.
Valerie could not help but think of when she was young. At that time, she seemed to have been abandoned by the entire world. Only Julian would help her. It was not easy for her to do her best to get to where she was now.
However, Aiden was only five years old. He was still so young and had already experienced these family changes. She didn’t know how he could walk out of this.
Aiden did think of his mother. When he returned from school in the evening, he was originally very happy because he received praises from his teacher at school that day.
He knew that his mother did not like him and thought that he was not smart. He was looking forward to showing his mother that he was praised. He thought that his mother would be happy today and praise him.
However, he did not expect to see his mother running around in disheveled clothes the moment he arrived at the neighborhood. He called for his mother so Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

It was true that after his friend’s parents divorced, her father would go to see her

However, many children said that once the parents divorced, they would never see each other again. Aiden wondered if that was true. He was worried that he would never see his mother again.
He thought, ‘Why? Is it because I am naughty? Mother always said that I was stupid and not smart enough. Did Mom leave because I am stupid?‘
