"Have you forgotten your future husband because of the meeting with Edrick earlier?"
"No, Uncle. It is not like that. Ah well, you don't have to answer me," Claire said as she took a deep breath, leaning back in the chair.
"Mr. Javier has two sons. No, if I'm not mistaken, a few years ago he took a man to be his adopted son. Yeah, I just remembered that," Aaron said.
"So now, Mr. Javier has three sons, Claire. But that was the first time I met one of them," he added.
Hearing his Uncle's words, Claire fell silent. It seemed her conjecture was correct. Brian, Edward, and also Edrick are interconnected. She didn't know, she just felt that way.
"What is it? Why are you suddenly asking that?" asked Aaron turning to the woman next to him.
"Uncle, do you know who they are?" asked Claire again.
Aaron's brow furrowed at Claire's question, "Do you know who they are?" instead of answering, Aaron asked back.
Claire shook her head. "No, Uncle."
Aaron sighed, "You don't need to know who they are, Claire. In the future, if you ever see any of the Javier family members again, I hope you don't treat them badly."
"I mean, don't get into trouble with them, honey. Do you understand what I mean?" added Aaron again.
Claire was silent. "Are they dangerous?"
"I don't know exactly, honey. Because I've never been close to them. After all, wouldn't everyone be very dangerous if you bothered them? No matter if it's from the Javier family, no matter if their identity is bad or good in everyone's eyes, as long as they don't treat us badly, then we should be kind to them."
"I still remember very well what your mother said, she said never stop doing good to anyone. Good deeds do not look at what and who and where the person comes from," added Aaron again.
He already knew, even more than anyone else what the Javier family was like, the reason he chose to accept their invitation to meet was not that he wasn't worried. During this time, Mr. Javier had never sought trouble with the Smith family, so he had no reason to avoid or refuse the middle-aged man's invitation. After all, he thought just meeting him wouldn't be a problem.
"My mom?" Claire turned to Aaron.
"Is my mother a good person, Uncle?" she asked again, Claire's gaze carrying a deep longing.
Aaron nodded with a smile on his lips, "In my opinion, she is the noblest woman I have ever met. Your mother is very beautiful as you, she is very kind to everyone. Her demeanor is very forgiving and loving. Too bad, she doesn't live long" said Aaron with a deep breath, his memories replaying when his brother and his wife were still alive.
Claire was happy to hear that.
"I'll tell you all about them another time, Claire. Now I want to ask you something," Aaron said, his voice very serious.
"What is it, Uncle? Tell me," replied Claire.
"But you must answer me honestly."
"Sure, Uncle. Since when have I ever lied to you?" replied Claire.
"Are you hiding something from me?" Aaron asked with a serious look. After living with Claire for some time, he understood her a little. And Claire's reaction to meeting Mr. Javier bothered him a lot. At first, he thought it was just his feelings, but when Claire asked about that family, he was very sure that Claire had something she was hiding from him.
"Huh? Why do you ask like that, Uncle?" instead of answering, Claire asked back.
"Answer me, Claire. Never hide anything from me. I don't want anything bad to happen to you. You know, you are the only family I have left now, I don't want you to hide the slightest thing from me," replied Aaron.
"Don't hesitate to say it," he added.
Claire was silent hearing that, her heartfelt warm again. Turns out it feels like this if you have someone who worries about her.
"Tell me, Claire," Aaron said again very impatiently.
"Sir, Miss, we have arrived," Hendra suddenly spoke, causing Aaron and Claire to turn their heads towards the middle-aged man.
Aaron heaved a shaky breath "Alright, come on down and rest. When you're ready to say it, tell me," he added and leaned back in his chair.
"After all, it seems Dave is very sleepy. Tell me another time. Come down, and take my grandson to rest."
"Would you like to visit somewhere?" she asked.
"I want to get some fresh air," Aaron replied.
"Okay, Uncle. Be careful, I'm waiting for you to return to the hotel," replied Claire.
Aaron nodded, "You also get a rest. Don't forget, tomorrow we will return to Australia," said Aaron.
After seeing Claire and Dave enter the elevator. Hendra asked, "Where do you want to go, sir?"
"Stay here, and don't go anywhere," Aaron said and got out of the car, and that confused the man.
Walking in the parking lot at the baseman hotel, Aaron followed Claire silently. After confirming the woman entered her room. Aaron walked down the corridor on that floor. Since earlier, his attention had been focused around Claire. He knew very well, that at this time they were being watched by several people.
"Get out," Aaron shouted echoing.
"Don't think that I don't know where you are," he added. He waited a few minutes but no one appeared.
Aaron took a deep breath, "Looks like I have to report this to the authorities. It's very disturbing," Aaron said then took out his cell phone.
"Sir, stop," suddenly Hendra came over.
"Sir, you misunderstood. It's not what you think," he added, breathing heavily. It was clear that earlier the man had run. Indeed, one of the men watching Claire contacted him a few minutes ago and said that Mr. Aaron was aware of their whereabouts. That was why he immediately followed the man.
"What do you mean? Also, why are you here? Didn't I tell you to wait for me in the car?" replied Aaron with a furrowed brow.
"You have misunderstood, sir. Sorry in advance if all this makes you feel uncomfortable," said Hendra and made the man even more confused.
"What do you want to say?" asked Aaron.
