"What?! Still no news?! Why are they so useless? Just catching a little kid can't!" Just now that Yelena was feeling the joy of living, she suddenly came back with some bad news.
Yelena has sent some thugs who she says are experts in killing, but in fact until now she has not heard whether they have succeeded in killing Aldrich or not. Plus, his spies who were at Emma's house lost contact. What exactly is going on?
"That Korn is useless too! Instead of helping our thugs leave after taking pictures. You idiot! Tell people to kill him and his hometown girlfriend."
"Good mistress." Reply Ria with resignation. She has been Yelena's errand boy for dirty acts since she first set foot in the Hamilton family. So hearing orders like this was no longer surprising to him.
"Mother, Matt managed to escape the house!" Charles suddenly walked in and shouted in panic.
"uh? Why why anyway? Don't be too dramatic. Even if she wanted to complain to Emma now, she would definitely not want to see him. At most the stupid kid will run away abroad again. He won't be able to interfere with my plan that's already gotten to this point."
Charles lowered. "But I'm worried about him."
"Such a child why should you worry?! Go and get back to the company!"
Charles eventually obeyed his mother. He walked out in lethargy. Despite always fighting with Matt and talking rudely to him, but to be honest as a father, he loved Matt very much. She doesn't want to lose her son again. Is it too late?
"Wait."
Charles turned his head and found Ria running towards him in a hurry. "Don't worry. I heard Ryker didn't come to the company this morning. So, they must be together."
"But Ryker can't fight."
"At least he's smart."
Charles smiled as he scratched his head. "Surely, Matt is a fool."

Aldrich looked at a woman who was pouring fried rice on a plate. Her black hair was slightly wavy, her eyes were soft as if reflecting her attitude, and her lips continued to smile sweetly.
Hm... Is this uncle Wayne's wife? Doesn't fit at all.
Duk!
Wayne kicks Aldrich's leg from under the dining table. Maybe he stopped to look at his wife. So jealous.
"Let's eat." The woman placed a plate of fried rice in front of Aldrich.
"Ah thank you aunt, but I've eaten."
"Eat it!!!" Wayne immediately snapped.
"Hiks... I-iya uncle." Aldrich feigns fear.
"Oh, don't be rude to a child." The woman showed an angry expression at Wayne, then instantly changed expression as she looked at Aldrich. "Take it, kid, you must be hungry, right? It's okay, don't be afraid. You are traumatized after getting lost in the market. But take it easy, your parents already know that you're here. They'll pick me up."
Aldrich felt that every word this woman in front of him was very soft. Even his voice could make Aldrich feel calm. That's grand!
"Whose aunt's name?"
"Karin. Hello to you."
Aldrich nodded then started eating his fried rice. Right beside him, Chris had already eaten first regardless of the talk of his parents.
◌
After finishing his meal, Wayne invites Aldrich to speak in the garden behind his house. Karine and Chris had already done their peaceful nap.
"Uncle Wayne has a beautiful wife. Why concealed?" Aldrich asked as he followed Wayne around the park.
"Do you know? as expected. Ever since I was kicked out by Emma that day, I realized something. If you're not like a child in general. At first I was confused as to why you could talk so fluently with a rich stranger, and also your style of speech was in order. You know when to ask, and when to be quiet to observe the situation. Truly a sly boy."
Wayne stopped walking and looked at Aldrich. "Yes right, as you say. I hid Karine."
"Why? Not even Emma's sister was told."
"Because I'm doing something that's not commendable."
"In addition to corruption, what else is not commendable?"
Aldrich nodded and made a mouth-locking gesture.
"It's not to be praised that I killed Karine's husband, Chris' father. So Emma would hate me."
"Good plot twist once. Must be because his uncle Wayne's love was rejected, huh? so kill her husband to get a aunt Karine?" Guess Aldrich with his plain feigned face.
"I'm gonna really rip your mouth out soon."
Aldrich again did the motion of locking the mouth.
"Suami Karine is evil. I saw him when I wanted to hurt Karine with a knife. I was trying to get in the way, but he was trying to kill me. Yes, I've killed it."
"It's a very yes." Aldrich slightly stayed away after commenting. Because maybe Wayne's really gonna rip his mouth out.
"Of course, stop talking about me. Now tell me what happened?"
Aldrich felt that Wayne was not a threat. On the contrary, if there was a Wayne there would probably be no more thugs who would dare to enter Emma's house. But is Wayne willing to stay with Emma again?
Ah, that's what I thought lately. Most importantly Uncle Wayne isn't evil, and I can tell you everything.
Aldrich began to speak. Telling from the beginning as if it had just happened. His attitude was calm as if telling someone else's story. While imagining the faces of his mother and father in the photo, Aldrich talks about Hamilton's family and Emma's desire to help him. Until it finally became what it is today.
Wayne continued to listen to Aldrich's story seriously. His eyes looked as if he was thinking of something. Sometimes sighing, and scratching his head in frustration.
In fact, deep down in Wayne's heart, he felt sorry for Aldrich. In the body of such a small child, it already carries such a heavy burden of life. Worth it, Emma who is basically easily touched, is willing to help Aldrich and willing to be affected.
Until the story ends, Wayne still hasn't spoken. He was digesting the word Aldrich.
"I'm grateful that Uncle Wayne saved me. Now I have to go again."
"Where?" Wayne glanced at Aldrich who started to carry his backpack.
"Taking someone to work together."
"Someone?"
"This means I have to go now. Give my thanks to aunt Karine, and hopefully Chris can realize that crocodiles don't eat cake."
"Did?!" Wayne hasn't had a chance to protest, but Aldrich has run away from him.
If according to the story, does Aldrich want to see the Hamilton family? Damn, why did I understand?! Lately my brain has become dull.
Wayne ran to the front of the house and looked around, it turned out that Aldrich was completely gone.
"Why is that kid running so fast? Got to tell Emma now. Good thing I still remember the home phone number."

Aldrich started walking when he almost got to his destination. From earlier running around making both his legs ache. Without lowering his guard, Aldrich entered several narrow alleys full of twists. Until finally he arrived at the same river as the river behind his house.
Aldrich's eyes glanced down the riverbank, and he smiled as the wanted man was seen there. A 15-year-old boy was washing dishes by the river. He is Popol, his friend.
"Popol!" Aldrich walked up to Popol who was already shocked to death just by hearing his voice.
"Aldrich?! Oh, my god, my little brother." The sepontaneous popol approached Aldrich and hugged him with haru. "Where have you been? Uncle Tong and the others told me that I met you at night. So cheated! Why don't you come see me too?"
Aldrich let go of his embrace and smiled. "She said your ass hurt from nagging."
"Oh yeah, this just healed hehe." Popol scratched his nape in embarrassment. "Then why did you suddenly meet me? What's up?"
"I want to gather Uncle Tong and the others. To get them to scare someone."
"Hey sounds cool. I'm coming too."
Aldrich nodded. Popol is also fairly strong because he often joined the plot of thugs care of Uncle Tong. Moreover, his body had many tattoos that made him look even more sinister.
Goody. Auntie Ria was my first target. Hope he's happy.
