Chapter 427
After stretching out his cane, Earle stepped out of the car in an imposing manner. His sharp eyes scanned the area in front of him.
Although he was noticeable old, his aura was still very much intimidating. With a deadpan face, he walked straight towards the three children.
“Hey, my great-grandpa is coming. If he asks about your family background, just tell him that you are my friends and we go to the same school. Don’t say anything else, okay?” Silas whispered urgently to the attentive twins. “Do as I say, and everything will be fine!” novelbin
As soon as he finished speaking, Earle arrived in front of them, looking expectantly at his great- grandson.
“Hello, Great-grandpa,” Silas greeted him politely with a light smile.
Adrian followed suit and said, “Hi, Mr. Moran.”
The two boys respectfully lowered their heads in front of Earle. But Aileen had no fear at all.
In her eyes, Earle was just a good-looking old man.
Aileen raised her head and stared at him in admiration.
“Adrian! Check out Mr. Moran. Isn’t he quite handsome?” Aileen remarked with twinkling eyes.
A worried look appeared on Adrian’s face, and his heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly tugged at her sleeve and said, “Aileen, be quiet.”
Hearing their voices, Earle suddenly noticed the two strange children with Silas for the first time.
They looked so much alike that he presumed they were twins. However, there were differences in their personalities.
The boy was calm and reserved, while the girl was innocent and friendly.
When he saw the two children, Earle felt a pleasant warmth in his heart. The bubbly girl, in particular, had caught his attention.
Hearing the little girl say he was handsome, Earle was startled by her carefree nature.
Adults were often afraid to look directly into his eyes. But a mere child dared to call him handsome?
“Tell me your name, little girl. Are you aware of what you just said? Why didn’t you just run along and go home?”
Earle deliberately pulled a long face, trying to frighten Aileen like he had done so many times to others before.
But Aileen was not scared at all. Only Silas and Adrian were terrified.
Sensing imminent danger, Adrian immediately pulled Aileen behind him.
“Great-grandpa!” Silas frowned. “You are scaring her!”
The two boys were trembling nervously, but Aileen was not afraid at all.
She replied briskly, “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Moran. I am Aileen, and this is my brother Adrian. Silas invited us to go to the amusement park with him.”
Earle raised his eyebrows sternly. “But I didn’t agree.”
Aileen frowned slightly and responded, “Mr. Moran, you can’t say that! Even though you are Silas’ great-grandpa, you should still respect him and his friends!”
The two boys were shocked by her speech, bracing themselves for the worse.
As he saw the innocence on Aileen’s face, Earle’s cold heart started to melt.
This lovely little girl in front of him reminded him of his granddaughter, Rosina.
For a moment, he lost himself in his thoughts. He had loved Rosina very much until that fateful day.
Earle was consumed by a bittersweet piece of memory and couldn’t snap out of it.
The distracted look on Earle’s face confused Silas.
Did he not like Adrian and Aileen?
What was Silas supposed to do next? Should he let them leave now?
“Great-grandpa, if you don’t like Adrian and Aileen, I can ask the driver to send them home immediately. I’m sorry they bothered you.”
Silas gave Adrian a meaningful look, and the latter instantly understood. But before he could usher Aileen away, Earle suddenly raised his hand.
“It’s fine.” Earle glanced at the kids with mixed feelings. “Since they are already here, they might as well tag along. It’s rare for you to have friends. Besides, it wouldn’t hurt for you to hang out with your friends once in a while.”
Finally reaching an agreement, they all entered the amusement park together.
Earle instructed the bodyguards to keep their distance from him and the children so they would not disrupt their playtime.
Soon, the three kids and the old man began their fun night of games and rides.
While they were walking inside the amusement park, the children’s faces lit up at the sight of a cool attraction. It was a shooting game stall.
Aileen’s eyes widened when she saw a big teddy bear on the prize display. She pointed at it and jumped up and down.
“Adrian, that bear is so cute. I want it! Win it for me, please!”
No one could resist Aileen when she looked at them imploringly with her puppy eyes.
Adrian glanced at the shooting game and promised confidently, “I will get you the bear in no time!”
“Yay! You’re the best!”
Aileen clapped her hands in glee.
Hearing Aileen’s compliment, Adrian picked up the long toy rifle with ease, loaded it neatly, and aimed it at the target.
“Feast your eyes as I show you what a skilled gunner looks like!”
