Chapter 25 The three little ones apologize.


    Watching First shut down theputer, Second Adler crossed his legs, saying, “You don’t have to be so cautious. Chatting for a bit is fine, especially since you’ve been gone for almost a month.”


    “It’s better to be careful,” First replied.


    “Mom isn’t back yet.”


    First looked at Second, “I’m warning you, it’s best if you log in as little as possible when you’re home. If you


    get caught, I won’t be able to help you.”


    Second Adler raised an eyebrow but didn’t say anything.


    Although the brothers were born from the same pregnancy, one was cautious and the other was bold, with


    very different personalities, much like Scarlett Adler and Hugo Hodges.


    “Have you thought about the oue?” Second Adler asked, tilting his head. “Do you want the result to be


    YES or NO?”


    “Haven’t thought about it.”


    “You can’t always act like you’re just dealing with whateveres your way. You need to show some kind of


    preference,” Second Adler said, looking at him.


    “What about you?” First Adler asked, looking back at him.


    Second Adler thought for a moment. “I hope the result is YES.”


    “Why?”


    “Toozy to keep looking. Besides, no matter who it is, Scarlett…”


    “There must be a reason for him taking us away, and it’s definitely not for anything good. Rather than being


    with some random jerk, I’d rather it be him. At least I don’t hate his face,” Second Adler analyzed.


    < Chapter 25 The three inthe ones apologize.


    First Adler listened without saying a word.


    “And I can tell that Fourth likes him a lot too,” Second Adler pointed out.


    First closed his eyes, “For me, Scarlett’s feelings are the most important.”


    IVICTU


    Undeniably, although First Adler rarely expressed his feelings, he was the one who cared most about Scarlett


    Adler’s feelings.


    Second Adler didn’t say anything more.


    Just then, Scarlett Adler returned.


    Hearing the noise, the brothers got up and went outside.


    William Adler and Scarlett Adler came back together from outside, William Adler carrying a lot of groceries.


    Second Adler, being the clever one, immediately stepped forward, “Grandpa, let me help you.”


    Scarlett Adler didn’t say anything, changed her shoes, and went to rx on the sofa.


    First Adler walked towards Scarlett Adler, just as Fourth Adler…


    A small head peeked out from the room, and only when she saw her two older brothers outside did she dare


    toe out.


    Fourth Adler and First Adler stood before Scarlett Adler, looking like they had done something wrong.


    William Adler sensed that something was amiss and walked over. “What’s going on here?”


    Scarlett Adler nced at Second Adler, who immediately stood obediently beside his brothers, forming a line


    of three.


    “Apologize,” Scarlett Adler said.


    “We were wrong, Scarlett,” the three said in unison.


    12.19%


    “Not to me,” Scarlett Adler replied.


    At this, the three understood and looked at William Adler. “Grandfather, we were wrong.”


    “What happened? What did you do wrong? What’s going on?” William Adler still seemed clueless.


    “I lied to Grandfather, saying that the school would send us back, but actually, the three of us sneaked out to


    y,” Second Adler said first.


    “I was the one who told Second to do that,” First said.


    Seeing his two older brothers taking the me, Fourth Adler immediately squeezed out tears. “Actually, my


    two brothers thought I was bored and wanted to take me out to y. It’s all Fourth’s fault.” As he spoke,


    Fourth ran into William Adler’s arms and started to whine yfully.


    Instantly, William Adler’s heart melted. “Alright, alright, don’t cry now.”


    “Grandpa, we shouldn’t have lied to you, I’m sorry,” Fourth apologized.


    “It’s okay, it’s okay, Grandpa’s not angry. It’s not a big deal,” William Adler said. “But don’t do it again, okay?


    Your family will worry if you go out without telling them.”


    “Okay, Grandpa,” Fourth Adler said affectionately, then gestured for William Adler to plead with Scarlett Adler.


    So, William Adler looked at Scarlett Adler. “It’s normal for kids to be yful, Scarlett. Don’t be mad at the


    children.”


    Scarlett Adler looked at them. “Going out to y is fine, but never lie to your family.” That was what Scarlett


    Adler cared about the most.


    The three of them listened and nodded solemnly.


    “We understand.”


    If Scarlett Adler said something, these three children would never do it again.


    13.00.


    < Chapter 25 The three little ones apologize.


    “Alright, go help Grandpa cook,” Scarlett Adler relented, and the matter was settled.


    The three little ones immediately went from gloomy to cheerful and happily went to help.


    Second Adler turned back, “Scarlett, do you mean we can go out and y from now on?”


    He always focused on the main point, even at this moment after just being scolded.


    Fourth Adler and First Adler both looked at him, but no one dared to speak.


    If Scarlett Adler lost her temper, the two would definitely run away.


    After a long while, Scarlett Adler spoke, “As long as your grandfather agrees, it’s fine.”


    Getting their grandfather’s approval was a piece of cake for them.


    This was practically giving them the green light.

    At this moment, Fourth Adler cheered and jumped onto Scarlett Adler, nting a kiss on her face. “Scarlett is


    the best.”


    Scarlett Adler was well aware of Fourth Adler’s talent for ttery.


    Disgustedly wiping her face, she said, “I’m going to take a shower.” Then, she left.


    As a result, the three little ones all breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged nces, and realized they could go


    out and “y” whenever they wanted from now on.


    But looking at these three little ones, William Adler couldn’t help but feel a sense of


    It was lunchtime when William Adler received a call from Mr. Hodges.


    pressure.


    Looking at the people eating at the table, William went to the balcony to answer the phone.


    “Old Adler, you’re something else! So that’s why you’ve been avoiding metely. It’s because Scarlett is back,


    isn’t it? You can run, but you can’t hide.”


    < Chapter 25 The three little ones apologize.


    “You know?” William asked.

    “What, am I not allowed to know?” Mr. Hodges retorted. “Let me tell you, I not only know, but I also saw


    Scarlett today.”


    “I see.”


    Now that the cat was out of the bag, William didn’t hold back. “So you know, so you saw her. What’s with all


    the shouting? I’m telling you, I am avoiding you. What can you do about it?”


    “You-you old Adler, you think you’re so right.”


    “Not as right as the Hodges Family,” William retorted.


    “Alright, alright, I can’t win against you. I’m happy Scarlett is back too. How about we all go out for dinner this


    weekend to catch up?”


    “No,” William refused outright.


    “Scarlett already agreed,” Mr. Hodges said.


    William Adler nced at the people dining in the restaurant and said, “Old man, are you up to no good again?


    Let me tell you, our Scarlett won’t have anything to do with your family anymore.”


    “Hey, Old Adler, I genuinely care for Scarlett as my granddaughter. What bad intentions could I have? If you’re


    not going to budge, fine, I’lle to your house to find you,” Mr. Hearst said, about to hang up.


    William Adler thought, if hees here, the three little ones will be in trouble.


    After thinking for a moment, he said, “Alright, let me confirm with Scarlett first.”


    “That’s more like it.”


    “Old geezer,” William Adler said, hanging up the phone directly.
