CHAPTER 589 AS LONG AS BIG BROTHER LUCAS
"I have called you, why didn't you pick up?" Edwin Carter asked Jane Ronan beside him as he helped to blow dry Janell's hair.
"I'm helping Janell bath, I didn't hear anything because my phone was in the living room." Jane Ronan approached Edwin Carter and asked, "Are you calling me for something?"
"I've brought back the person you're looking for. Do you want to see if you are satisfied with him?" Adoption was a matter that needed to be decided by the couple. Before he brought Andrew home, Edwin Carter wanted to discuss the matter with Jane Ronan, but she didn't pick up the phone.
Jane Ronan asked, "Did you find a brother for Janell?"
Janell's eyes instantly lit up when she heard the word 'big brother'. She stared wide-eyed at her parents.
"Yes." Edwin Carter nodded and then patted Janell's head again, "Do you want your brother?"
"Brother? "Of course I want big brother." In Janell's mind, the brother she thought of was Brother Lucas. She had been looking forward to Big Brother Lucas’ return every day, so how could she say no to Big Brother Lucas?
"Our Janell is awesome. We have to get along with big brother in the future." As long as he could coax his daughter to be happy, even if Janell wanted the moon in the sky, Edwin Carter would think of a way to get it for her, much less bring a child back to accompany her.
"Dad, I want to see big brother." Janell couldn't wait to see Big Brother Lucas”, it didn't matter whether her hair was dry or not.
However, when she saw her "brother", Janell cried out in disappointment. Her loud and clear cry spread to every corner of the room.
Standing in front of her was a thin little boy who was staring at her with wide, curious eyes.
This person was not her Big Brother Lucas.
Her Big Brother Lucas was very tall and good-looking. Big Brother Lucas could hug her, let her ride on his shoulder, and could protect her.
She didn't want anyone else to be her brother, she only wanted her Big Brother Lucas.
"Janell, what's wrong?" Seeing his daughter cry so sorrowfully all of a sudden, Edwin Carter's heart also clenched.
" I only want Big Brother Lucas." Janell cried in her father's arms as if the sky was about to fall on her.
When she heard her dad say Brother, she thought Lucas had come back, yett the person she saw was not Lucas..
Since she wasn't able to see Lucas, the young Janell could only use the most direct way to express her feelings.
This was the most hurtful thing she had ever experienced..
She felt that this world was filled with malice.
Seeing that Janell didn't accept him and was crying so bitterly, the little boy's eyes turned red. However, he tried his best not to cry.
He looked small, but he was eleven years old and knew a lot of things.
He knew very well that his parents had left in a car accident, leaving him alone. He had become an orphan, a child that no one would love and care for. Thus, he did not even have the right to cry.
"Janell, look at Brother Andrew. If you don't accept him, he will be very upset." Jane Ronan helped Janell wipe away her tears and let her look at Andrew.
Janell looked up at the boy again and saw that his eyes were red and he looked upset.
She suddenly couldn't bear to see the little boy sad because of her.
Jane Ronan patiently advised, "Janell, brother will love you just like father and mother, and brother will even accompany you to school, isn't that good?"
"But …but … what about Brother Lucas? " Janell said as she rubbed her eyes and sobbed.
In Janell's mind, Big Brother Lucas wouldn't come back if she had another brother.
She was still waiting for him to grow up. She still remembered that when she grew up, Big Brother Lucas would definitely come back to her side.
Now that she was with Brother Andrew, wouldn't Lucas come back to look for her in the future?
Janell threw herself into her father's arms again. She cried so hard that she felt so sad and sad. She didn't even know what to do.
She didn't really want to accept thisAndrew as her big brother, but she didn't want to see him sad because of her.
"Janell, don't cry. I will ask Uncle Hal to take Andrew away, if you don't want him, then it's okay." Edwin Carter had never been willing to let his daughter suffer even a little bit.
The reason why he saved Lucas was because of a single sentence from Janell, and the reason why he wanted to keep Lucas by her side.
If it was something that Janell liked, Edwin Carter would not refuse. If it was something that Janell did not want, Edwin Carter would not force her to take it.
No matter what he did, Edwin Carter always put his daughter's wishes first.
Jane Ronan's thoughts were the same as Edwin Carter's. She looked at the boy and didn't know what to say. The atmosphere seemed to be frozen.
"Little sister, big brother will take care of you and protect you." At the critical moment, Andrew patted his thin chest and made a promise with his still young voice.
Andrew lost both his parents not long ago, so if they sent him away, it will certainly affect him psychologically..
Thinking about this, as a mother, Jane Ronan's heart softened a little. She still hoped that Janell would agree to let Andrew's stay.
Jane Ronan opened her mouth and was about to say something when Janell raised her head from Edwin Carter's embrace. She rubbed her swollen eyes and said in a soft voice, "Dad, ask Brother to stay."
It was Janell's simple sentence that made Andrew stay in the Carter Family and change his entire life.
…………
Edwin Carter and Jane Ronan officially adopted Andrew. Andrew was named Andrew Carter, and his name was recorded in the Carter Family's account book and also entered the Carter Family's family tree.
Adoption of children was an extremely big thing for the Carter Family.
Although there was no grand feast, all the members of Carter Family's family gathered together and prepared gifts for Andrew.
Mr. Carter and Mrs. Carter had always respected their children. Edwin had always been the one in charge of everythings, so they had no objections to the adoption of this child.
After receiving the news, they immediately busied themselves preparing the gifts. Andrew Carter would be the eldest grandson of the Carter Family from now on.
Angela Carter had only been in the filming crew for two days, and after hearing the news, she still found time to come back.
She was also adopted by the Carter Family and her biological grandfather had hurt Grandfather Carter before. However, the Carter Family didn't blame her and treated her the same way as before.
Her personality was fiery hot, but she knew how to be grateful. Adopting a child was a huge matter for the family, and no matter how busy she was, she would find time to come back.
Victor James joined the celebration too.
Ever since he became entangled with Angela Carter, he couldn't fall asleep every night without hugging her.
But now Angela Carter was off filming a show, he lived a bachelor's life again. It was like living a year.
Today, Angela Carter had returned from the film crew. How could he miss such a good opportunity?
CHAPTER 590 LIVING MODEL
Victor James parked his car and walked inside. When he passed by the transparent studio, he saw Janell sitting alone in it.
She was sitting in front of a large easel, holding a paintbrush and carefully drawing something on the easel.
Since he hadn't seen Janell for days, Victor James wanted to hug her as well. He turned around and walked into the studio. "Janell!"
"Woof woof …" The one who replied him wasn't Janell, but Mia, who was sprawled on the ground motionlessly with an unhappy look on his face.
"Kid, aren't you happy to see your uncle?" When he used to come in, the little girl would jump up and down beside him. What was going on today?
"Woof woof …" Mia still moaned twice. He felt too wronged, but no one could understand its language.
Victor James's gaze shifted from the unhappy Mia to Janell. He saw her drawing with a brush: "Janell, what are you doing?"
"Uncle." Janell raised her head and gave Victor James a sweet smile. Then, she lowered her head and started to paint seriously, " I'm painting my little sister."
No wonder Mia didn't even move an inch, with a look of unhappiness and grievance on her face.
"Hmm?" Victor James went in front of her easel and looked around, but he did not see that Janell was drawing Mia.
"What's so fun about painting? Come on, come with Uncle, Uncle will take you to have some fun. " In Victor James's eyes, drawing these things was too quiet. If he had children, whether they were girls or boys, he would teach them some more exciting games.
"Uncle, I will give it to Andrew as a present" Although Janell didn't really want this little brother to be her brother, she still prepared a present for Andrew.
There were so many toys in the toy room. She could give any of those to Andrew, but Janell couldn't bear to part with them. They were all treasures that she cherished a lot.
Therefore, she prepared her own gifts. She had been learning to paint these past few days, so it just happened to be useful to her. Although it had just been hard on her Mia.
With Janell's current painting skills, even Mia, who was her model, felt wronged. However, there was nothing she could do, since it was the youngest in her family, Janell could only bully it.
Mia was a Pomeranian, which Janell had drawn according to it, but no one could recognize that the animal in the drawing was Mia.
If you were to say what Janell's painting looked like, Victor James felt that it was more like a cat.
"Oh wow, it's for your new brother?" Victor James rubbed her little head and sat beside her, "When you're done with it Uncle will bring you to play."
"Yes." Janell put down her brush and looked at the painting she had drawn with her own hands. The more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became. This painting was the one that she was the most satisfied with out all her recent works.
"You're done?" Victor James thought, luckily Janell wanted Mia to be her role model. If her father was her role model, she would probably be able to paint her father as a little kitten.
"Uncle, isn't my drawing skill amazing?" Janell was quite confident in her painting skills.
"Of course it looks good." How could Janell's painting not look good? No matter who in the Carter Family asked for this painting, everyone would praise it from the bottom of their hearts.
This was how the Carter Family unprincipled pampered Janell. As long as it was painted by Janell, she would definitely be number one in the world.
"You're the best, uncle, I like Uncle." Janell turned her head to look at Mia who was still lying on the ground, "Little Sister, you can go and play."
"Woof woof woof …" Finally free, Mia quickly jumped up, turned and ran away.
He didn't want to stay any longer than necessary afraid that Janell would make her a model again.
"Let's go, uncle will carry you to deliver your gift." Victor James lifted Janell and let her sit on his shoulder.
Thinking about how he is the First Army Commander of Jiangbei, Janell was the first person who had the honor of riding on his head.
Now that everyone in the family was here, everyone's attention was naturally on the main character of today, Andrew.
Janell personally gave it to her little brother, "Andrew, this is a present from Janell and his little sister Mia, you can't dislike it."
Janell spoke with a barbaric and domineering tone, as she still held some dislike for her big brother.
"Thank you, sister. I like it very much!" Andrew took the painting from Janell and said happily.
"Andrew, from now on, you are a member of our family. Grandpa and grandma want you to be healthy and happy." Mrs. Carter gave Andrew the jade safety buckle, meaning to let Andrew grow up healthy and safe.
Mr. Carter spent a lot of money to buy this piece of jade when he visited Myanmar a few years ago. Originally, he bought it to store, but Mrs. Carter stole it and made it into a safety button.
The priceless jade, which Mrs. Carter wanted to give to her eldest grandson, Mr. Carter agreed without hesitation.
In the past few decades, Mr. Carter only had one goal, as long as his wife was happy.
"Thank you, Grandfather!" Thank you, Grandma! Andrew really likes it! " Andrew said sweetly as he put on the gifts that his grandparents had given him.
"Andrew, this is a present little aunt prepared for you." What Angela Carter gave Andrew was a set of detective cartoons that all boys liked. She guessed that Andrew would also like it.
"Thank you, little aunt!" Andrew didn't know whether the item was worth anything. He only knew that his little aunt had given him a gift that he had always wanted, but neither his parents were willing to buy it for him.
Mom always said that this set of cartoons would cost several thousand yuan, which was a month's salary for her and Dad. So every time he could only stare out of the library at the comics he liked.
Victor James, on the other hand, was unprepared. In his opinion, he and Angela Carter were already family. If Angela Carter gave it to him, then it would be equivalent to giving it to him.
Edwin Carter and Jane Ronan also prepared a present for Andrew, which was to make Andrew's room look like what he liked. They also prepared a lot of new clothes for him.
After the gift was delivered, Andrew managed to meet everyone in the family.
Jane Ronan handed Janell over to Andrew and rubbed their heads. "Andrew, Janell, from now on, you two are siblings. You must love each other and help each other out."
Andrew said sensibly, "Mom and dad don't worry, Andrew will take good care of my sister."
Janell didn't want to talk because she only had Big Brother Lucas in her heart and hadn't accepted Andrew as her brother.
"Janell, what about you?" Jane Ronan asked.
Janell blinked her beautiful big eyes, feeling wronged in her heart, but she still nodded sensibly.
CHAPTER 591 DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM
Janell, let's go come with me." Victor James walked over and carried Janell away.
Victor James had never been interested in grown-ups' gatherings, so it would be more interesting to play with the kids.
"Sister-in-law, I'm going to play too." With Victor James gone, how could Angela Carter stay there any longer. She also hopped after him.
Mr. Carter and Mrs. Carter pulled Andrew as they talked. They didn't have a deep relationship with Andrew, but they would slowly cultivate it with this child.
Edwin Carter showed his face and then went back to his study to busy himself. Jane Ronan didn't know that there was going to be a video conference.
Jane Ronan had nothing else to do, so she helped Linda in serving dessert and fruit to everyone. As the mistress of this house, she hoped that everyone would be satisfied and come back to celebrate in the future.
"You're disobedient again." When Edwin Carter saw that it was Jane Ronan who sent the fruit to the office, his brows were almost knit together.
"I'm fine." Having this child didn't have as big of a reaction as having Janell. Jane Ronan could jump and jump, but her body was in good condition.
Edwin Carter pulled Jane Ronan and sat on his thigh. "How about we tell Mom and Dad about the pregnancy while everyone is here today."
"No, I said three months later." Jane Ronan was a little worried. She was afraid that if others found out, someone would try to take advantage of her child.
Maybe this mental barrier was left behind when she was pregnant with Janell. After all, what she had experienced before was too terrifying. Thinking back now, she could still feel how desperate she was back then.
"Alright, you can tell Mom and Dad whenever you want." Edwin Carter had always listened to Jane Ronan regarding these matters.
"Thank you, Mr. Carter, for being so considerate." Jane Ronan stood up and stretched out her hand to massage his shoulders and back. "Go back to your work and ignore me."
How could Edwin Carter ignore her here? It was just that his self-control had always been strong, so she could not tell that he was affected by her.
When the two of them were together, most of the time, it was so tender and quiet, as if it was impossible for them to ever argue.
Victor James's situation was completely different from Angela Carter's. One of them was like an explosive, while the other was like a fuse.
"Victor James, you walked so fast, where exactly do you want to go?" Angela Carter's speed was also quite fast, but Victor James's speed was even faster than hers. Janell was also sitting on his shoulder, so her speed wasn't affected in the slightest.
It was unknown if Victor James was doing it on purpose or not, but he had ignored her after meeting her today.
"Angela Carter, I'm taking Janell out to play. Why are you following me?" Victor James could tell that Janell didn't really like her new brother and didn't want to make her feel bad, so he carried her out.
Angela Carter will follow... Yes, it was within his expectations.
However, they were outside and Janell was a light bulb with a few hundred watts, so he couldn't do what he wanted. It was better to send Angela Carter back.
"Victor James, since you like children so much, why don't we go back and make a baby?" Recently, Angela Carter's face had become thicker and thicker.
Logically speaking, the two of them had been together for quite some time and had not taken any action. Under normal circumstances, they could have been pregnant soon, but there is no sign at all.
Thinking about this, Angela Carter looked at Victor James: "Hey, Victor James, do you have any health problem?"
Victor James raised his eyebrows: "What?"
Angela Carter looked at Victor James, then looked at her abdomen: "I calculated, the few days we spent together were my dangerous days, but I wasn't pregnant at all … I have no problems with it anyway, so what do you think is the problem? "
Angela Carter felt that there was no problem with her. She could eat, sleep, run and jump. She was very healthy. It was very likely that Victor James was too old.
She was still so young, yet she had taken a fancy to Victor James, a little old man who couldn't even get her pregnant, so why was she so blind back then?
It was very likely that Victor James, the man's master, had burnt incense in order to make a beautiful and peerless girl like her fall in love with him.
"Angela Carter, Are you crazy?" Victor James really wanted to smash open her head and search for her brain.
"What?" Angela Carter shouted angrily, "Victor James, don't think that you can use such a method to change the topic."
"Janell, let's go. Let's ignore your little aunt." This kind of thing was an insult to a man. Victor James really didn't want to bother with Angela Carter anymore.
"Great uncle, and little aunt giving birth to a beautiful baby together?" Janell blinked her big, watery eyes as she asked.
If her uncle and aunt gave her a sister like Mia, she would have two younger sisters to play with in the future.
"It's not that your uncle aren't able to bear with your aunt, it's just that your aunt is useless."
As Victor James was speaking, Angela Carter kicked him hard on the butt. "Victor James, who has a problem? Let's go to the doctor and see him."
"If that's your problem …" Angela Carter glanced at him and said with a hint of schadenfreude, "This kind of thing, I won't tell anyone else."
Victor James said with dissatisfaction, "Who said I have a problem?"
"If you have no problem, why can't I get pregnant?" Angela Carter was certain that there was something wrong with Victor James.
After all, he was an old man in his thirties, not as young as she was. It was normal for him to have some physical problems.
Janell's eyes widened as she looked at Victor James and Angela Carter.
Her clear eyes swept over them. It was strange, she didn't understand what her great-uncle and aunt were talking about.
They were saying that they were sick, but seeing that their uncle and little aunt were arguing so loudly, they didn't seem like sick people at all.
Her father and mother were the best. Father and mother never quarreled, only knew how to be intimate and hug each other.
Janell suddenly thought of her father and mother playing with each other and hugged each other. "Uncle, little aunt, you can only have babies if you don't quarrel."
She was such a cute baby because her father and mother didn't quarells and they are always loving to each other.
Victor James laughed, "Who told you that?"
Janell said seriously, " Mom and Dad kiss each other a lot then they had me."
"Smart child, little aunt loves you to death." Angela Carter rubbed Janell's head, "Then Little Aunt won't argue with Uncle anymore. Try to have a child as cute as Janell."
"Yes." Her little aunt and uncle could have children, but they couldn't be more lovable than her.
If the child was even cuter than she was, then no one would like her.
Therefore, Janell really hoped that her little aunt and uncle would have a child like her little sister.
Cant wait to read the next chapters....
