In Love, Never Say Never Chapter 1571

Summer’s heart twitched in pain as she rubbed Audrey’s tears off her face. She let out a long sigh. “I know you’re a good girl, Audrey. You always are. But sometimes, even a good girl will do wrong, understand?”

Audrey sniffed and stared at Summer with a confused look. Apparently, she did not comprehend what Summer meant.

Summer flashed a gentle smile and continued to explain patiently, “Let me ask you. Do you remember the time when you were in M Country? With so many people keeping you company at that time, do you still miss Daddy and Mommy?”

“Of course!” Audrey responded without hesitation. “There was not a single day that I didn’t miss them! I even dreamt of them every night!”

“That’s right. I know you did.” Summer caressed Audrey’s head gently. “I’m saying this because I want you to understand that parents are the most important people in everyone’s life, and that includes Shaun. He has been alone for so many years. Do you think it is better for him to stay with us or to go back and live with his parents?”

A gloomy expression loomed over Audrey’s face. “With his parents…”

A second later, she shouted emotionally, “But he’s got no parents!”

Summer was still smiling. “That’s not true. He was just like you. He got separated from his parents, and now he found them. In fact, you’ve met them. They’re the uncle and aunty who picked him up this morning. They look like good people, and I’m sure they’ll take good care of Shaun. Don’t you think so?”

Audrey did not respond as she sank into deep thought.

It was not easy for a young girl like her to understand love and human nature. Even though I don’t get it, I’m sure everyone won’t lie to me.

Seeing how Audrey was starting to relent, Summer feigned a stern look. “If you insist on seeing Shaun, then we can only separate him from his parents again. Ask yourself, would you be happy if you were separated from Daddy and Mommy? Are you sure you want that?”

“No way!” Audrey burst out crying. “I don’t want that! Never!”

Wiping the tears off her face, Audrey reached out to Summer, wanting to be carried by her sister. “Let’s go to bed now. I don’t want to part with Daddy and Mommy!”

“Okay.”

Summer scooped Audrey into her arms as she cast a glance at me. With that, both of them went upstairs.

After their figures disappeared thoroughly from the stairs, I turned toward Ashton, intending to give him a good scolding.

“Mr. Ashton, are you the head of this family or not? Shouldn’t you have some principles as a father? How could you give in so easily?”

Ashton shifted his gaze at me and smiled faintly. “It might be easy for you, but not for me. I’m finally able to get close to her after so long. I don’t want to ruin it.”

Pausing for a while, he leaned toward me and narrowed his eyes. “Besides, who said that I’m the head of the family?”

“You shameless bast*rd…”

I pushed him away and escaped to the room. If I continued the conversation, I reckoned he was going to take advantage of me again.

When Summer and Audrey were freshening up in the bathroom, I immediately found the remote on the bed and hid it in the closet before I tucked myself in the bed.

As expected, Ashton’s hand started to wander after switching off the light. After a while, he began searching for the remote.

I was secretly elated. Letting out a long sigh, I ignored him and went off to sleep.

I thought Audrey would get over Shaun after that day. However, her smile seemed to disappear ever since, and she did not have much of an appetite. She did not even talk much with Summer and Gregory.

Feeling helpless, I had no choice but to seek advice from Emery. After all, she had many experiences with kids.

Around half an hour after hanging up the phone, the Moore family’s car appeared at the villa’s gate.

Without even greeting us, Emery walked right toward Audrey, who was drawing on the grass. She squatted down and started chatting with the latter.

I somehow felt relieved when I saw her confident expression. Someone that can lift Audrey’s spirit up has finally come.

Yet, in less than two minutes, Emery walked toward me, shrugging her shoulders. At that instant, I knew even she could not do anything.

“And here I thought the problem’s solved.” I let out a long sigh. “You’ve raised Xavier all by yourself. How could you not know how to deal with Audrey? What did you say to her?”

“What else could I say? I’ve tried my best to talk some sense into her and to comfort her.” Emery looked at me with a helpless expression.

I rolled my eyes upon hearing that. What she did is no different than what we’ve done. I wouldn’t have asked for her help if I knew this was all that she’s capable of.

My heart fell with a thud as I stared at Audrey’s despondent figure.

If only she got her parents to accompany her since she was small, maybe she would have been able to socialize. However, John had been putting all his time searching for me and building his career. Thus, Audrey stayed at home most of the time and had no chance to mix with people. That’s why she can’t get over Shaun as he’s the only one she’s got. In short, this is all our fault.

“Don’t worry too much. We’ll find a way eventually. As the saying goes, it’s up to the doer to undo the knot.”

“Do you mean that we should get Shaun back here?”

I did think of that option, but I would not want to take it if we still had other choices.

“Well, not necessarily.” Emery shifted her gaze at Audrey.” Since she wants to see him, why don’t we take her to him? Let her witness how well Shaun is doing in his new family. Maybe then, she would be able to let go of him.”

Upon saying that, Emery mumbled to herself, “Seems to me raising a boy is much easier…”

Displeased by her mutterings, I thought to myself, She’s always so competitive. I understand if she wants to compete in other aspects, but she shouldn’t act so when it comes to a child’s growth. I

objected, “Even though a son might be more independent, the happiness when having a daughter is irreplaceable. Both have their benefits and shortcomings. Since we’re destined to be their parents, it’s our responsibility to protect them.”

Emery shrugged. “Maybe I’m used to growing up alone. I could never understand the happiness of sticking together all the time. But, you’re most probably right. So, please ignore what I’ve said just now.”

I responded with a smile. I don’t blame you.

I had known Emery for a long time, and I was aware of the person that she was. Even though she was not close with her siblings, she was a passionate person when it came to love. Back when she was in love with Hunter, she could not even bear to leave him for a second. Her current aloofness was merely a form of self-protection due to extreme disappointment.

One wouldn’t get hurt if one doesn’t love.

After clearing my thoughts, I approached Audrey, intending to take her to see Shaun.

It had been more than a week since Yuna took Shaun away. I figured now was a reasonable time to pay them a visit.

Audrey’s lips curled into a smile when she heard me mentioning Shaun. Without a second thought, she skipped back to her room and got changed.

Staring at Audrey’s overjoyed behavior, Emery crossed her arms in front of me. “Why don’t you send someone to check on Shaun’s situation first? It would be bad if you guys run into any inappropriate scenes. Should that happen, it would be harder for Audrey to let go of him then.”

“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?”
