Margaret shook her head. “I can’t talk about this; I can’t tell you. Besides, if anything goes wrong, how do I justify it to Mr. Jardin?”
Kai was both angry and amused. “You do trust him a lot…”
Margaret replied, “Of course. Mr. Jardin said that when he comes back, he’ll give me a bonus. With that, I can spoil my grandson and buy lots of nice things for him.”
Kai thought, ‘It’s indeed rare to see someone being so loyal to Zach. There are all sorts of people with ill intentions around him. Having such a dedicated helper is indeed worth taking such a risk.’
“I won’t force you if you don’t want to tell me. Zach trusts you very much, and so will I.” Kai did not expect he would give in to a maid.
He took out his phone and showed Margaret a message. “Look at it properly. We’re on the same side. It won’t do me any good to harm you all.”
Margaret rolled her eyes. “What does it say? I can’t read.”
Her response left Kai speechless. “Fine.
Margaret was worried Kai had some bad intentions.
The heating was on in Southern Haven Villas. Kai felt hot, so he took off his jacket. Margaret asked, “Why do you want to stay here overnight? We don’t allow outsiders here.”
The sky had already darkened.
“Being cautious is good. But if you’re overly suspicious to the point of not even trusting me, no one will be able to help you if something really happens.”
Margaret squinted and thought, ‘Mr. Jardin once said that unless it was Mr. Turner, no one should leave here with anyone.
‘I can trust the man in front of me to a certain extent, but not too much. But maybe I should just not trust him.’
Margaret’s job here was just to take care of Dalton. There were maids in this villa who were responsible for cooking. Meals would be prepared in time.
The dinner was already being prepared.
So far, Kai had not seen anything wrong in Southern Haven Villas. However, he believed he must remain vigilant. He did not trust anyone here except for Margaret. Although no one could enter the villa now, and the people inside could not leave, he still had to be cautious.
Dalton sat quietly in the child’s seat as he ate. Kai could not help but tease him, saying, “Your parents don’t want you anymore, yet you can still eat so happily. You’re quite light-hearted!”
The next second, Dalton suddenly cried, which lasted for half an hour.
His cries echoed throughout the entire villa. No matter how Margaret tried to soothe him, she could not calm him down.
Kai found it noisy and went to the room on the second floor. However, he accidentally entered the master bedroom where Hayson had stayed in. The study next door was connected to it. He opened the curtains for the lights outside to shine into the room. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and dialed a phone number.
After the phone rang for a long time, it was finally connected. The person on the other end sounded lazy. Kai asked, ” Just woke up?”
Madelyn replied, “Yeah. How’s Dal?”
Kai walked to the door without responding to let Madelyn hear the crying sound. She could hear it all too clearly and asked, “What’s wrong with him?”
Kai replied, “He’s very smart. I told him his parents didn’t want him, yet he could still eat happily. And he started crying right after that. It’s lasted for half an hour now. Do you want to soothe him?”
A maid rushed over to Kai and said, ” It’s not good. Dr. Stewart, you need to come with me now. The child has been crying non-stop, and he just threw up the milk he drank.”
Kai did not hang up the phone. He walked to the room on the third floor, where everyone was comforting the delicate Dalton.
He said, “All right. All of you leave except for one person to take care of him.”
Once everyone left except for Margaret, Kai put the phone next to Dalton’s ear. He said, “Talk to him. Maybe he’ll stop crying when he hears your voice.”
He turned to look at Dalton, “Little rascal, your mom is on the phone…”
