Little Pip thought for a moment, "I think Mommy’s current situation must be passive, probably being controlled by someone." "That’s right, and Daddy is acting strangely too," said Little Caden Crawford. "I’ve already recognized that’s not Mommy, but Daddy hasn’t realized. Daddy isn’t usually that dumb," Little Caden Crawford’s face clearly showed disdain, Daddy is really so dumb. Little Pip also found it quite strange. In his memory, Daddy was quite smart, which kind of ruined his image now, "I think we don’t understand the situation currently, and acting rashly could put Mommy in a more disadvantageous position. Since Mommy has turned into that maid Cherie, always following that fake Mommy and Daddy around, I think the key issue still lies with Daddy and that fake Mommy." Little Caden Crawford thought deeply for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "Then we shouldn’t do anything now, just help Daddy expose the true face of that fake Mommy and recognize our real Mommy." Little Pip made an OK gesture, "That’s exactly what I was thinking too." The two little bosses reached a consensus and ended the meeting. Little Pip jumped off the boss chair, "How to create opportunities for Daddy and Mommy to meet is up to you." Little Caden Crawford said, "Don’t misunderstand, we’re only temporarily cooperating for Mommy’s sake, but Mommy is only mine and Daddy’s. You still have no share, understand?" Little Pip really wanted to roll his eyes at Little Caden Crawford, Brother, you are my real brother! I am your biological brother separated for three years! Little Pip walked out directly, and outside, Jude Crawford was already waiting for him. Little Pip paused in his steps, turning around intending to sneak away quietly. But soon, Jude Crawford’s deep voice sounded from behind, "Pip, you’re just going to leave without saying hello to Grandpa? No one dismantles the bridge after crossing it faster than you." "..." Little Pip had no choice but to stop, turning around to look at Jude Crawford, "Ha, haha, Grandpa, do you have something to do?" Jude Crawford looked at Little Pip without any expression, "What do you think?" Little Pip felt he couldn’t keep up the act, after all, he couldn’t escape on Grandpa’s turf, "Grandpa, do you want to meet Grandma?" Jude Crawford’s deep, narrow eyes showed a hint of fluctuation, "Does she want to see me?" Little Pip shook his head regretfully, "She doesn’t, not at all." "You can leave the last part out," Jude Crawford’s displeased gaze darted over. He knew Isabelle Willow didn’t want to see him, so there was no need for this little brat to emphasize it so bluntly, wasn’t that just stabbing his heart? Little Pip, "Alright then, Grandpa, once Mommy’s issue is resolved, I’ll arrange for you and Grandma to meet, how does that sound?" Jude Crawford was silent for a moment, then nodded, okay, he’s waited all these years, waiting a bit longer wouldn’t hurt. Little Caden Crawford wanted to play at sea. This was the first time Little Caden Crawford had requested to go out to have fun, so Hayden Crawford immediately prepared a private yacht for a sailing trip. Melody Ashworth, of course, was invited, and she brought Serena Sterling along. On the private yacht, Melody Ashworth was selecting bikinis. She asked Hayden Crawford, "Mr. Crawford, which one do you think looks good on me?" Hayden Crawford glanced at the bikinis and spoke in a low voice, "It’s fine as long as you like it." Melody Ashworth was a bit indecisive, when a soft voice sounded, "Serena." Melody Ashworth quickly turned her head, Leah Thorne had arrived! Melody Ashworth of course knew Leah Thorne, the thorny rose of the entertainment circle, moreover, Leah Thorne had grown up with Serena Sterling since childhood, sharing everything as best friends. Melody Ashworth didn’t expect her to suddenly show up. "Leah... Leah Thorne, what brings you here?" Melody Ashworth quickly squeezed out a smile. Leah Thorne approached and took Melody Ashworth’s hand, "Serena, you seem a little unhappy seeing me?" Melody Ashworth stiffened, was her displeasure so obvious, "Not at all, you’re such a big star now with a packed schedule, I didn’t expect you’d come." Leah Thorne looked at Melody Ashworth, then raised her hand and tucked a lock of hair behind her ear, revealing a radiant, beautiful face, "I came to give you a big surprise." Leah Thorne looked toward the bikinis, "Serena, are you picking out bikinis?" "Yes, Leah Thorne, I’m undecided, would you help me pick one?" Melody Ashworth knew Leah Thorne had a good eye, Leah’s aesthetic taste was innate. "Sure." Leah Thorne pointed to one, "How about that one?" Melody Ashworth was very happy. Then Leah Thorne’s gaze suddenly fell on Serena Sterling. She spoke to Melody Ashworth, "Serena, this is your maid Cherie, right? Since we’re on a private yacht, let your maid change into a bikini too." Melody Ashworth paused, she brought Serena Sterling to watch her play, she didn’t plan on letting Serena play along. Serena Sterling had been very quiet, cooperating fully with Melody Ashworth. Seeing her good friend Leah Thorne arrived, her bright eyes also lit up. Nobody knew Leah Thorne would come. "Yes," Leah Thorne walked to Serena Sterling’s side, looking her up and down, "Serena, your maid has a really nice figure, she’d look great in a bikini." "This..." Melody Ashworth wanted to say something. But Leah Thorne interrupted her directly, "Women can’t really see what other women can, you should ask men. Mr. Crawford, do you think the maid by Serena’s side has a great figure?" Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on NoveIꜰire.net Suddenly being called out, Hayden Crawford had his hands in his pockets, his deep, narrow eyes fell on Serena Sterling’s slender figure, giving her a glance. Slender and graceful, light and soft, just the type he liked. Serena Sterling felt Hayden Crawford sizing her up, she looked at him. At this moment, when Hayden Crawford looked up, he met Serena Sterling’s bright eyes. Realizing he was observing the maid, he immediately pressed his thin lips, cold and displeased. Serena Sterling felt puzzled, why did he seem... angry again? She hadn’t done anything, right? "Little Maid, see how every woman on this yacht is in a bikini, with your good figure you should wear one too, come on, I’ll pick one for you so you don’t embarrass your master Serena, isn’t that right Serena?" Leah Thorne innocence played on Melody Ashworth. What could Melody Ashworth say? She could only dryly nod, "Mm." Leah Thorne quickly dragged Serena Sterling away. In the room, Leah Thorne pointed at the variety of bikinis on the clothing rack, "Here, pick one." Serena Sterling grew up in a different environment than Leah Thorne, she was somewhat conservative. Besides the times Leah dragged her to the hot springs to wear bikinis, she had almost never worn one.
