Chapter 1995
Freyja raised her hand and stroked her head. “The nanny at home won’t hurt you, so be brave and don’t be afraid anymore, okay?”
Deedee did not utter a single word.
“Mr. Goldmann.” The nanny suddenly stepped aside and nodded respectfully.
Colton handed his suit to the nanny, and the nanny took it from him and stepped back. He then unbuttoned his cuffs and stepped forward. “What’s wrong?”
Freyja said something to Deedee, and the latter took a glance at Colton before going upstairs.
She stood up, turned around, and stared at Colton. “Deedee is still mentally scarred, she just won’t follow anyone that she doesn’t know well around.”
Colton took a glance upstairs. “Maybe we can find her a therapist to help her out.”
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at her. “You’re now pregnant, and you still have to make time to take care of her. And the main thing is that besides you, she won’t let the nanny take care of her. So if we don’t give her the right guidance, I’m afraid that it’ll affect her in the future.”
Freyja was astonished.
She guessed that Colton was worried that she would be overwhelmed, but she did not expect that he was worried about Deedee’s mental health too.
She took a deep breath. “Colton… As soon as Deedee recovers, I’ll ask my father to come and pick her up.”
Colton paused as a look of surprise flashed across his eyes. “I didn’t mean that…”
‘Does she think that I don’t agree with her keeping Deedee here?’
He had asked her the other night if she really wanted to raise Deedee only to know her thoughts on the topic. If she wanted, it was nothing for him to raise an extra niece.
“I know.” Freyja chuckled. “You’ve thought about too many matters for me. This time, just take this as me thinking about you in return. Deedee is still a Pruitt, after all. She can even accompany my father when she returns to the Pruitt residence. My father will definitely treat her well.”
Colton raised his eyebrows. “Aren’t you worried that your mother will go back to the manor?”
Freyja pursed her lips, and her expression dimmed. “Since she refuses to go back, why would Noilace let her go back? This is her own choice, what happens to her has nothing to do with me.”
‘Even if she faces the same ending as Ken did, that’s the consequences that she’ll have to face because of her stubbornness.’
She had never had many feelings for her mother at first. She had hoped for her to realize her mistakes and change for the better, but she was disappointed by her later on. Thus, she no longer expected any changes from her.
Apart from being related by blood, they were like strangers to each other.
Colton took her into his arms abruptly. She was stunned and froze in his arms, only to hear a deep, bold voice coming from overhead. “In the future, our baby and I will be your family. You’ll never have to be alone.”
Upstairs, a tiny figure walked by silently and disappeared into the corridor.
The next day…
Daisie came to the crew to look for James.
He seemed to have just finished shooting and was standing by to let the staff help remove the heavy armor from his body.
The crew members were surprised when they saw Daisie. “It’s Ms. Vanderbilt! Is she here to visit Mr. Tell?”
“It seems that the relationship between Ms. Vanderbilt and Mr.
Tell is really close.”
James turned his head and saw Daisie standing at the side, waving at him. He shoved the script into his assistant’s arms and walked over. “What happened? Why are you here?”
Daisie picked up a cup of coffee and handed it to him. “I’m here to visit you at work.”
James took the coffee from her and asked suspiciously, “You’re here to visit me? Why do I smell something fishy?”
She crossed her arms. “Exactly right. I’m looking for you because I have something to talk to you about.”
He undid the lid and drank the coffee. “What’s the matter?” Daisie looked around. “Let’s have a chat in your RV.”
