Chapter 72
“He’s Flint Morton. He’s a friend I met overseas. He came to Sea City yesterday, and he didn’t have a place to stay, so I let him stay the night,” she nonchalantly said with a straight face.
When Ethan saw her honest expression, he sighed in relief. “He said that he was the master of this house.”
“No, I didn’t say that!” Flint cowered and explained in a weak voice, “Mr. Xavier, you misheard me… What I meant was that it’s inappropriate for a guest like me to be dressed like this. I-I’ll go and get changed…” He ran away gloomily. “Addy, you’re a single mother. It’s not appropriate to have a man stay overnight in your house. If he doesn’t have a place to stay, you can ask him to stay a night with the Xavier family,” Ethan said sincerely.
Adina nodded obediently and said, “Ethan, don’t worry about me. I’ll go to the Xavier Corporation after I send the kids to preschool.”
Flint stuck his head out and shouted, “Addy, you can go to work. I’ll send Alden and Mel to their preschool.”
When they were abroad, Adina would always let Flint take care of the two kids. The guy might have seemed unreliable, but he was extremely attentive when it came to looking after the kids.
She put their bags at the door and said, “Leave only after you watch them enter the preschool, okay?”
“Hey, Addy, I’m not three years old. Do you have to give me instructions like that? Go to work!”
Only then did Adina grab her bag and get into Ethan’s car. As soon as the car was driven out of the neighborhood, Adina was sharp enough to notice that another car was following them.
Before she spoke, Ethan said, “Addy, when I came in the morning, that car was parked near the entrance of the neighborhood. Once we left, they followed us. It looks like they’re tailing
us.”
“When I picked up the kids from preschool yesterday, someone tailed me too.” Adina had a stern look. “I just came back a few days ago. Who did I offend?” “Who else could it besides Dew Daugherty?” Ethan said coldly. “You just obtained 25% of Daugherty Corporation’s shares, It’s like taking a part of them, so why would they spare you that easily?”
