"Goodbye, Bobby!" Hiram recalled the events of the previous night. He looked intently at Bobby with raised eyebrows.
"Bye, Uncle Hiram. You took great care of us last night. You should ask my dad for a raise!" the child said, looking serious.
"Ha-ha!" Hiram laughed. "I'm glad you think I did a great job. I like taking care of you. As for the raise, I'll let you handle that." Hiram smiled at Charles. He then bade Nadia and Nancy goodbye and left.
"Daddy, Uncle Hiram deserves a raise in salary!" Nadia spoke first, beating Bobby to it.
"Alright. So, how much of a raise do you want to give him?" Charles asked with a smile.
"Ten thousand more!" Nadia suggested, raising a finger.
"Ten thousand?" Hiram already had a good salary. If it were raised, he would be the highest-paid staff in the company.
"Is there a problem with that, Daddy?" Bobby asked with a frown.
"Not at all, kids. Consider it done!" Charles ap
t what Laura did.
He was disappointed in her.
"What's next now?" Noticing his lips pressed together in deep thoughts, Doris quietly asked again.
Jay looked at her calmly and asked, "Are you ever going to trust me?"
"I don't know... One reason is..." Doris searched for words. She knew more than anyone else that she didn't trust Jay at all.
The first impression always last long. It couldn't be changed in a hurry.
"Alright. It's okay if you don't trust me. But in the future, if you're suspicious, just follow me. Follow me everywhere if you have to. Don't spend money to hire women to test me ever again. Do you understand?" Jay comforted softly.
"So, you... you won't divorce me?" Doris sounded clueless.
"I'm in love with you, Doris. How could I divorce you?" he admitted with a helpless smile.
"You rogue! I'll divorce you if you don't divorce me!" Doris had felt embarrassed, so she said that to save face.
