Chapter 458 Danger
However, things had reached this point, and Aaron's conditions did not make old Morris back down. He even agreed without hesitation, which meant that we had to stay in New York for a longer time
Aaron couldn't request to return to Germany before Mr. Morris formally designated Joe as the heir to the company
In this way, I had to consider the issue of our family's life in New York
During this period, we were always staying at the Morris family's estate. In the past, I always had a temporary mindset, even if I just exchanged greetings with Mrs. Maria every day,
it was only a polite smile, without much communication
But in the future, if we were to live here permanently, as one of the few women in this household, we wouldn't need to go out to work, so we would inevitably have frequent encounters
I originally didn't have a good impression of this stepmother because of the things Aaron told me
In the past, I just managed to get by on the surface, but in the future, especially after Mr
Morris agreed to Aaron's conditions, I can't guarantee whether Mrs. Maria can still face me calmly in this house
And, my children also had to be present in this house every day. If Mrs. Maria was a vengeful person, it was likely that Molly and Jasmin would bear the brunt of her anger
So on the evening when Aaron took office as CSO, as soon as the conversation at the dinner table was finished, I raised my glass to Morris in a toast
"As Aaron's wife, Iam extremely grateful for the trust and affirmation from my father. As you mentioned, in the coming days, we will officially be living and working in New York
Therefore, it seems inappropriate for us, as a married couple with a child, to continue living with our parents."
Aaron looked at me, and even though I hadn't discussed this matter with him yet, he almost immediately understood what I meant and immediately chimed in, saying that he also thought it would be better to move out and live elsewhere
We performed a scene in front of everyone
naturally, and whoever watched would think that Aaron didn't know in advance that I would bring up the topic of moving. He was just going along with what I said
Indeed, this is the truth. In the eyes of old Morris, even if he thought the younger generation was ignorant, he would only point the finger at me, and would not blame Aaron for planning to leave home
What's more, there were several esteemed old shareholders present at the banquet. I had long predicted that Mr. Morris would put on a show of fatherly love and filial piety with Aaron in front of everyone, and he would not easily refute any reasonable demands we put forward
Sure enough, after a brief silence, old Morris smiled again and raised his glass to me, indicating, "Of course, I understand. Young
people always want to have their own space. So, there is a vacant villa near Eighth Avenue. If you are willing, you can move there to live."
What a loving father he was, not only did he understand the thoughts of the young people, but he also provided us with a house
However, I still expressed my refusal and insisted firmly on moving back to the house I had purchased before marriage
At this point, Mr. Morris had no choice but to proceed as planned
Therefore, as I had wished, I moved back to my small house with Aaron and the children on that Saturday. Although it was not as spacious as Morris Manor, at least I wouldn't wake up every morning thinking about how to face that eerie family atmosphere
Aaron and I could also, like any ordinary couple, be busy with our own things and meet in our own house in the evenings, without worrying about being caught by family members or maids suddenly appearing at the door
What a wonderful life! To be honest, ever since I moved into Morris' estate, I have been looking forward to the day of moving out
However, everyone in that family had their own thoughts. After we decided to move out, no one mentioned this matter again, nor did anyone express any opinions. Only Joe went to help take care of the two children on the day we moved
He didn't show any emotions throughout the whole time until after dinner when Joe glanced at me, then at Molly and Jasmin sleeping in the cradle. He hesitated for a moment, then turned
to Aaron and said, "Moving out and living alone doesn't necessarily make you safer. Regardless, be cautious and don't put yourself in danger."
I felt that Joe's tone was a bit strange, and just as I was about to ask him, Aaron, who was standing beside me, nodded silently. They exchanged a glance, and Joe didn't turn back but left straight out the door
The interaction between these two brothers made me intuitively feel that they had a new secret between them, but this time Aaron didn't tell me proactively. However, the joy and busyness of moving quickly made me forget about this little incident, and I didn't even guess what danger Joe was referring to
