“Yes, I like him! What about it? Am I not allowed to like him?” Felicity frustrated her. Couldn’t she give it a rest?
Hearing her confession, Felicity felt the urge to turn violent. “How can you like him? Why do you like him? You’re a divorcee! You have no right to like him!”
“You’re a psycho!” Danika rolled her eyes at her. She snatched her toothbrush back and brushed her teeth. When she was done, she returned to her room without saying a single word.
Felicity shouted at her, “Eustace is mine! Don’t you dare take him away! Let me tell you, I want to compete fairly with you, so you better not play any tricks behind my back-”
Danika closed the door before she finished, successfully shutting out her voice and restoring peace to her ears. Felicity must be crazy in love with Eustace.
That night, although many thoughts lingered on her mind, Danika soon fell asleep. She had many things to do the next day. Not only did she need to bring the two children to meet their adoptive family, but she also had to find a job for Felicity. Plus, she needed to find a place for Felicity, as she didn’t want to live with her forever.
Felicity was still asleep when Danika headed out with the two children, not bothering to wake her. After leaving breakfast on the table, she took the two children out.
She was surprised to see Eustace waiting for them downstairs, so she asked, “Don’t you need to go to work?”
“Aren’t you going to bring the children to meet their adoptive family today? Since I was the one who made this arrangement, I should go and see them too,” he replied, leaving no room for Danika to argue.
She nodded and said, “Okay, let’s go together.”
They got into the car and headed to their destination. The journey there was very quiet.
“Are you nervous?” Danika asked the two children.
Justin nodded while Lilian didn’t react. Perhaps she didn’t understand what was going on.
Danika patted their heads and said, “The people we’re bringing you to meet today are all good people, so don’t be nervous.”
Justin nodded, but he was still unable to rein in the tension growing within him. He was afraid that they would not like him and his sister.
“Eustace, do you like the lady yesterday or Danika?” Justin asked suddenly.
Eustace was taken aback by his unexpected question, but he made sure not to show it. “Why are you asking?”
Danika wanted to cover Justin’s mouth, but she was too late. Things turned awkward when Eustace looked at her. Hurriedly, she turned her head out the window, feeling a little guilty. Eustace smiled but said nothing.
Soon, they arrived at their destination. The adopters had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw them coming, they hurried to welcome them.
When they were all sitting in the living room, the couple looked at the two children in adoration. “Justin and Lilian, right? They are so cute.”
“Hello.” Justin greeted them with a smile, trying to win their favor.
Although Lilian seemed a little distracted, she followed her brother’s example and greeted the couple. She even praised the woman for being beautiful, which brought a smile to her face that never seemed to fade.
In no time, the two children were mingling happily with the couple. As Danika and Eustace watched from the sidelines, Eustace asked, “You told Felicity that you liked me?”
The sudden question made Danika jerk upright. She thought Eustace had forgotten about it, so she didn’t expect him to bring it up. Faking a laugh, she answered, “I said it out of anger.” If Felicity hadn’t acted so obnoxiously, she wouldn’t have lost control of herself.
“Out of anger? Why do I feel that you genuinely meant it?” Eustace didn’t buy her story. Danika wasn’t someone who would say such a thing just to annoy Felicity.
Danika remained silent, refusing to admit it. However, Eustace didn’t mind. As long as she knew it was true, it was fine with him. With that thought in mind, he announced, “I’m going to make a call.”
Danika nodded.
Eustace headed to a corner to call Vincent. “Any updates about the ten plans I asked you to draft?”
“I have already figured it out, and a report on the plans has been placed on your desk,” Vincent replied. He got excited thinking about the bonus he would receive.
Satisfied, Eustace hung up the phone and returned to Danika’s side. They had lunch at the couple’s home and got a taste of their cooking skills.
“Mr. Quincey and Miss Zellweger, we are very happy with Justin and Lilian. When will the adoption process begin?” the couple asked, a little worried.
As long as the adoption was not formalized, they would be worried. When Danika looked at the children, Justin nodded at her while Lilian smiled. Although she didn’t know what would happen to them in the future, she could tell that they liked the couple very much.
“Anytime you want,” Danika said. “I hope the children will grow healthy and happy under your care.” That was her only wish.
“Don’t worry, Miss Zellweger, my wife and I won’t have any more children, so Justin and Lilian will be our only children. We will treat them well,” the husband said sincerely.
Danika nodded. “Alright, let us get the formalities completed as quickly as possible.” She wanted the two children to resume a normal life as soon as possible. They couldn’t go on without attending school forever.
“I’ll take care of that,” Eustace said. Those were trivial things to him, but it would be a lot of trouble for Danika to handle them herself.
“In that case, thank you for your help, Mr. Quincey. With your help, I’m sure things will proceed much more smoothly.” They thanked Eustace, feeling very grateful to him. To them, Eustace was an unreachable figure completely out of their league. Not only did he bring Justin and Lilian to them, but he was also willing to help them with the adoption process.
After lunch, Danika and Eustace left, bringing Justin and Lilian with them as they couldn’t just leave them there. Danika had agreed with the couple that they could bring the two children out every day. When the adoption was formalized, Justin and Lilian would officially become their children.
After driving the three to Perry Residence, Eustace headed to work. Danika told him to hurry up and not delay his work because of her. After he left, Danika took the two children back home. She thought Felicity would have already woken up by this time, but she had underestimated her laziness.
When Danika knocked on her door, Felicity opened it and drowsily asked, “What are you doing? Why are you knocking on my door so early in the morning? Don’t you know that I’m still sleeping?”
Danika was furious. She couldn’t understand how Felicity, who had such a hardworking father, could be so lazy.
Nonetheless, Felicity couldn’t care less that she was angry. She came out of the room and began eating when she spotted the food on the table.
“I only get up at this time when I’m at home. Do you think I’m supposed to work hard like you?” Her mother had told her that she was born to enjoy life, unlike Danika, who had to work hard.
Danika was exasperated. “Are you saying you’re not here to find a job in Parrington?”
After hesitating, Felicity shook her head. “Of course not; I’m here to find a job. Don’t you think a person can change?” If she said she wouldn’t work, Danika would definitely send her back immediately, and Felicity didn’t want that. She had finally met a rich man. If she went back, wouldn’t Danika be the one to bag the prize instead?
