Chapter 455 Why Should I Stop You?
Initially, Axel wasn’t sure if Evan would agree to it. He didn’t expect his father to agree so easily.
Axel’s eyes slowly brightened, and he said, “Thank you, Daddy.”
Evan smiled, but he felt a pang of sadness. He hadn’t anticipated Axel being so overjoyed about
something so trivial.
In the afternoon, Evan took a leisurely stroll through the mall, holding Axel’s hand after lunch.
Axel had already thought about the gifts, so he headed straight for the shop. He picked out a scarf
for Caroline and a thermos flask for Tyler, knowing how much he liked warm drinks. He chose a
large doll for Liora that she could cuddle with. Then, he purchased a tie for Evan.
Evan was visibly surprised by the gift. “For me?”
Axel nodded. “Daddy, you deserve a Christmas gift too.”
Evan leaned over and gently ruffled Axel’s hair.
Axel was taken aback because Evan was beaming with an infectious happiness he had never seen
before. He couldn’t hide the joy on his face and said, “Daddy, you should smile more often. You
look really good when you do.”
Evan’s smile froze momentarily, and he appeared somewhat awkward. Clearing his throat, he
asked, “What else do you want to buy?”
Axel replied, “Nothing.”
A puzzled Evan asked, “Aren’t you getting something for yourself?”
Axel’s eyes twinkled with hidden delight. “My gift is seeing the happiness in all of you.”
Evan held Axel’s hand warmly “I remember you were browsing for desktop computer parts once,
right?”
Axel blushed. “I was just looking at the components, thinking about trying to build one…”
Evan said, “Make a list of the parts you need and give it to Reuben for purchasing.”
Axel raised his head in astonishment. “Aren’t you going to stop me from doing things unrelated to
learning?”
Evan replied, “Why should I stop you if you’re capable of it?”
Back at the hospital.
Evan instructed Reuben to deliver the gifts Axel had purchased to Caroline’s house, along with
three Christmas cards personally written by Axel.
Initially, Reuben intended to hand the items over to the bodyguards. However, as soon as he drove
into the yard, he spotted a woman’s figure–Eira.
Startled, Reuben rolled down his window and asked, “Who are you?”
“I’m Eira, the nanny Ms. Shenton hired,” she replied. “Are you here with Ms. Shenton’s consent?”
Reuben shook his head and admitted, “No.” Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Suspicious, Eira asked, “What brings you here, then?”
Reuben pointed at the gifts on the passenger seat. “Ms. Shenton’s son entrusted me with.
delivering the Christmas gifts he bought.”
Eira leaned over to inspect the passenger seat and smiled upon seeing the gifts. “Alright, sir, you
may hand the gifts to me.”
Reuben nodded, exited the car, and handed the gifts to Eira.
She nodded back and said, “I’ll pass them on to Ms. Shenton. Goodbye!”
Reuben replied, “Sure, thank you.”
As he watched Eira disappear into the villa with the gifts, he wondered, ‘Are there still young nannies like her these days?”
Later that night, Caroline returned with the children.
Eira had already prepared dinner and approached Caroline with a smile. “Ms. Shenton, there are gifts for you and the children in the living room.”
Liora rushed to the living room, and her eyes sparkled with delight when she saw the large doll.
“LinaBell! Mommy, it’s a huge LinaBell!” Liora exclaimed.
