“Alright, Mommy needs to get back to work, so run along now”
“Alright, Mommy, don't work too hard!” Aleena nodded obediently.
“I won't!” Irina smiled and caressed Aleena's little head before sending a text message to Diana who led Aleena back to the office.
*****
“Aunty, I want ice cream!” Aleena asked while blinking her beautiful gem-like eyes in a way that Diana could never resist.
“Of course, Aunty will buy anything for you,” Diana said happily, and in the next two minutes, they were outside the company, approaching a nearby ice cream shop.
The twins were being led by Diana, but they didn't run around like other children. Even if they were to cross the road, the twins followed the rules smoothly and without resistance. This surprised Diana.
She was thinking of her five-year-old nephew, whose entire family would follow behind him just to make sure he didn't hurt himself. When that boy walked the road, he was simply running around without fear.
Diana wished her nephew could be as obedient and sensible as these children in front of her.
As they walked to the central section of the road, Aleena raised her head and saw an extremely domineering building with an imposing center. The specialty of this building was that it was built by three connected skyscrapers as if it were a giant pyramid.
However, this Mansion was located in the center of the city, where every inch of land was worth a fortune.
When people passed by, they were all marveled by this tall and fascinating building.
Whose Mansion is this? It was so huge and appealing!
“Wow!, It's so beautiful!” Aleena exclaimed in pure excitement. “Aunty, whose company is that? I want to go inside there one day”
Diana's face immediately revealed an unapproachable expression, ”This company is owned by the richest man in the U.S ”
“Really?, Is the richest man you're talking about handsome!?” Aleena asked curiously.
Diana laughed ”Do you want to know?”
Alex rarely spoke but this time was different.
“Yes!” Alex spoke
“Alright, I'll tell you when we get to the ice cream shop” Diana led them across the road before reaching an ice cream shop on the other side.
There was a leisure area, so they decided to sit there and eat their ice cream.
After buying the ice cream and sitting down, the little girl still hadn't forgotten about what happened a few seconds ago.
“Aunty, tell me quickly! What does the richest man look like?”
“Why are you so curious?”
“Because I also want to be the richest person in the future ” Aleena spoke with an ambitious expression.
Diana wanted to hold back her laughter, yet she still chuckled ”You're still a little girl!”
“Aunty, are you looking down on me? What I said was true. In the future, I want to earn a lot and a lot of money, so I won't let Mommy work hard anymore”
“I believe in you. I believe that you can become the richest person.” Diana was always serious anytime she talked to the twins because they were one of the few smart kids she had seen.
Diana found a photo and enlarged it before handing it to them.
Aleena and Alex saw a rather dark background and a lazy figure sitting on the sofa. The man in the photo was mature, elegant, charming, and had a mixture of perfection and unbeatable beauty.
His eyes, which were staring straight at the camera, were as black and gem-like as the night sky, intimidating, and they flickered with wisdom and shrewdness.
Alex's eyes widened slightly. Why does this man look the same as their birth father?
Alex had only seen a photo of him by accident when he was just three and since then, till now that he was five, he couldn't forget that formidable figure that looked like he had the world under his control.
Thinking about this, an icy layer of coldness seeped out of his body as he grabbed his little sister's hand.
“Let's leave, it's getting late, Mommy might be worried.” As Alex spoke, no expression could be found on his small face.
“Okay!” Aleena could never disobey her brother so she agreed.
On their way to the company, Aleena spoke again ”Aunty Diana, is this man married?”
“Well, I don't think so...”
“And oh!, What's his name? Aleena asked.
“Aaron Willer”
“Then does he have a girlfriend?”
“I don't think so either!” Diana replied confidently.
If a certain person had informed the press that he was engaged and was going to get married next week, Diana wouldn't have fed her false information while smiling so confidently.
“Tell me, is it okay for Mommy to be his girlfriend?”
“Aaahh” Diana's brain seemed to have stopped working because it couldn't keep up with her thinking.
“My mommy is so beautiful, but he is also very handsome and rich. I think they should get married!”
“Little girl, It's better not to think about this kind of thing,” Diana spoke calmly but inwardly, her brain was in a 'sorry' state as she tried to understand what was going through the heads of little children of today.
Now what was this little fellow trying to do? play matchmaker!?
“Why? They're a perfect match, or do you think my mommy is not worthy of him?”
“No, no, I don't mean that. I mean, Miss Irina wouldn't approve of this,” Diana said.
“But......
“Leena!, Even if you see that man in the future, don't talk to him or get close to him too much, it could be dangerous! ” Alex interrupted her.
Aleena pouted and never brought up that man again when Alex was around. Even the ones with the thickest skull could feel the hostility Alex displayed anytime he saw a news or picture of Aaron Willer.
Aleena sighed dramatically as she rolled the Ten dollars that Diana had given her until it was similar to the shape of a stick cigarette. She deeped it into her little piggy bank before shaking it violently.
The sound of money was so satisfying!
Just a final touch was needed to achieve her goal.
