He appeared to be bewildered, helpless, and even pleading...
A man in his thirties who had been accustomed to recklessness now looked like a child who had made a mistake. He glanced at his father helplessly.

She turned to her son, saying, "Since he is really your child, let's bring him back as soon as possible." I looked at Arton again. Despite his imposing appearance, he said meekly, "Let's do what my mom said." Since they had all agreed to take Charlie back, I spoke again, "But there is one condition from the lady taking care of the little boy now..." Donovan immediately said, "Of course. Feel free to tell us whatever conditions they have. My family will agree to them." I could tell that the old man thought we were going to ask them for money.
I smiled calmly and said, "She's afraid the little boy won't be able to adapt to the new environment. She said she might cwith him for the first two days or so to help take care of him and teach you how to look after him. She'll leave after the child gets used to the new place. Will you agree to that?" The Reese family expressed their doubts. "Is that all?" "Of course. Not everyone is motivated by money. They're ordinary but kind-hearted people. When I suggested sending the child away, the lady was reluctant to let him go." I said truthfully.
Donovan looked apologetic, "The boy is blessed. He's survived great danger, and that will surely bring him good fortune. The Reese family has a future now." He smiled radiantly.
Annika quickly nodded, saying, "We'll agree to that condition! Thank you so much, Ms. Chloe." Only then did I smile with relief and said, "You don't have to thankYou should thank the couple who's taken care of the little one. They've raised him well and treated him as their own.
"They've been neglecting their own son during this time. The child was frail and would always get sick, but since he arrived at that couple's place, he's been getting sick less and has becstronger. They're pretty reluctant to send him back," I added with a hint of humor.
Donovan hurriedly said to his daughter, "Let's go now, Annika. We'll take the child back today. We can't keep bothering them." Arton seemed to be at a loss and looked at his sister for guidance.
Annika was also finding it hard to contain her excitement. She turned toand asked, "Um, Ms. Chloe, can we go pick up the little boy now?" I checked the time. It was still before noon. I thought for a moment and took out my phone. "I'll give them a call and ask what they think." As the call connected, I put it on speaker and told Myra about the situation. She seemed a bit perplexed. "So soon? Well... okay." You could clearly hear Myra's reluctance over the call.
After ending the call, I looked at Arton and asked, "Have you decided to pick up the child?" "Yes, we'll pick him up right away!" The urgency in Donovan's demeanor was apparent. He seemed afraid that this opportunity might slip away. Perhaps the Reese family should

For the Reese family, the existence of this child was like a gift from m heavental source of hope for the entire family. Donovan's eagerness was not surprising at all.
He immediately got up to change, but atand asked Georgina looked atMs. Chloe, why are you doing this? Well... Melanie, theoretically..." She paused and didn't continue her sentence. Her eyes fixed on me, waiting for my response.
