"Get a towel and thick clothes, quick," he ordered and at that mont the elevator doors opened. Imdiately took wide strides, leaving Erik without waiting for his response.
Imdiately headed to the back door, and sure enough, his eyes caught a boy who was none other than his grandson, who seed to be running around with his whole body drenched by the rain. While the three maids were running behind him, they seed to be chasing like fools.
"Dave, don't run, or you'll fall," shouted Aaron, but the boy ignored him.
"Dave, stop playing in the rain," the man shouted again.
Seeing his grandson who was still running around, Aaron let out a shaky breath. It seed useless if he just shouted, the echo of the raindrops drowned out his voice.
He turned around and asked the Maid to bring an umbrella, after which he imdiately took a big step after the boy.
"Dave, co on in. You'll catch a cold, honey," said Aaron who managed to block the boy's path, making him stop.
"Granpa?" said Dave with his head up, occasionally wiping his wet face with his hands.
"I'm not letting you play in the rain like this, Dave. Co on in before your mother gets mad," Aaron said grabbing the tiny wrist.
"Granpa, I've never felt this happy. So far I've only been able to watch the rain from a distance, this is the first ti I've been so free to play like this."
"Let play this ti, Granpa, ok, ok...?" Dave whined then grabbed the man's thigh and hugged him, making his pants wet at that mont.
"Just this once," he added.
Aaron sighed harshly, then turned his gaze to the maid which was standing not far from him, sat down in fear with their whole body already very wet.
"What are you thinking? Why let him out when it's raining like this," Aaron said in a slightly high-pitched voice, not yelling but more so that his voice could be heard by the maids.
"S-sorry, Young Master suddenly ran into the garden without us being able to stop him, sir. I'm sorry," said one of the maids.
Hearing that, Aaron didn't reply again, the man then crouched down, leveling his position with Dave, trying to persuade the boy to co back into the house.
"Dave, co on in. You'll catch a cold, honey."
"I still want to play, Granpa," Dave replied, the occasional sound of his teeth chattering.
And at the sa ti, another scream was heard. It made Aaron and the others imdiately turn to the source of the voice.
"Mom..." said Dave when he saw his mother following him into the garden, also Erik who followed behind her. Each of them holds an umbrella.
Seeing that, Aaron gave the man a questioning look.
"Sorry, sir. Miss Claire saw it for herself," said Erik ahead of ti right after arriving near Aaron.
"Dave, co on in," said Claire, pulling her son's arm gently.
"Why play here? Now it's raining hard, I don't want you to catch a cold and get sick," she added then grabbed a towel in Erik's hand then wrapped the boy's body, and carried him.
"I asked him to co in, but he..."
"Okay, mom. I am sorry," said the boy imdiately cutting off his grandfather's words.
"Erm. But don't do it again, okay?"
Dave just nodded, the boy lowered his head as if in anger.
While on the other hand, Aaron froze on the spot. Did not Dave refuse and don't want to do it? Thinking about that, Aaron wanted to laugh at himself.
Thankfully, Claire ca right away. Whereas previously he did not want his nephew to be worried when he saw his son's condition. Turns out, his worries were in vain.
Slowly, a faint smile appeared on his lips. It turned out that Dave would not refuse if his mother asked. Obedient child.
"Well, you guys go in and prepare warm water for Dave," said Aaron, turning to the maids who were still standing unmoved from their position.
"Okay sir," they answered almost simultaneously and then said goodbye, away from there, leaving Aaron, Claire, Dave, and Erik.
"Next ti, don't do sothing like this again," Claire said once again, then started to carry her son, and walked into the house. While the umbrella she was holding earlier was now in Erik's hands. Yes, the man helped Miss Claire hold the umbrella so it wouldn't rain while carrying her son.
Aaron did the sa, following his nephew, trying to keep up with her until she entered the mansion.
Entering the house, Claire imdiately took her son into the room and cleaned his body with warm water that had been provided by the maids.
As for Aaron, the man imdiately contacted the doctor to co and check on his grandson's condition. Afraid that sothing might happen. Even though the boy seed fine, Aaron still couldn't calm down until the doctor confird his condition. Let's just say he was so worried about Dave.
Right after ending his conversation with a doctor on the phone, Aaron again gave orders to a maid who had just co out of his grandson's room. "Bring a hot drink for Dave," he said.
"Yes sir. I'll bring it right away," said the woman obediently and then walked away from there.
Aaron, who had been standing outside the room, imdiately knocked on the door and went inside.
"Soon the doctor will co and take a look," Aaron said to Claire who was helping Dave get dressed.
"Doctor?" Anna's brow furrowed.
"Um," Aaron replied simply.
Hearing that, Claire only let out a rough sigh. it seems that from now on she has to get used to living as the only daughter of a rich family.
"Thank you, Uncle," said the woman.
"Don't say things like that. I just did what I had to do, Claire," Aaron replied.
Claire just nodded and didn't answer any further.
"Then I'll stay first. Tell if anything happens or you need sothing," said Aaron slowly getting up from his position who was sitting on the mini sofa in the room.
"Okay Uncle," Anna responded quickly, even Dave also nodded with a smile.
"I'll be here again when the doctor cos," Aaron said before disappearing behind the door.
Hearing her Uncle's words, Claire just nodded, smiling faintly.
Now, there was only Anna or more accurately called Claire along with Dave in the room. After finishing wearing the clothes, the woman lifted the boy's body and laid him on the bed.
"Mom, can I ask a question?" said Dave suddenly.
"Sure, honey. What's that?" Anna replied as she pulled the blanket up to cover the boy's chest.
"Why have I never seen Daddy, Mom?"
"Is he okay?" Dave asked and managed to make Anna's hand stop for a mont.
