Chapter 124 Worried That He’d Be Spooked
“I’m very good at it, you know.”
Vania often cut her boys’ hair, so this was nothing to her.
However, she didn’t have all the tools she needed, so she had to make do for now and give him a proper cut when they returned to Hammond.
Very quickly, she trimmed it into neat short hair, and he instantly looked much more refreshed like a new boy.
At that, Vania smiled. “Well, what do you think?”
Jude looked at the boy in the mirror with incredulity. Was that really him?!
It had been a long time since he last saw his reflection. He couldn’t believe the person inside the mirror was him!
He subconsciously reached his hand out to the mirror, and the cool sensation had him instantly withdrawing and lowering his head like he had done wrong.
To his surprise, Vania didn’t reprimand him and said, “You did everything superbly. Go ahead and explore. You have my support.”
As she spoke, she fixed his shirt and hair before holding his hand. “You’re all set. Let’s go outside.”
Just then, the doorbell rang, causing the little guy to tremble in fear.
With that, Vania grabbed his hand and soothed him. “It’s okay. Someone’s just outside. Out of courtesy, they would press the doorbell to notify the person in here. If you visit others at their home in the future, you have to do this too.”
Jude got the gist of her words, but he had no clue what a doorbell was or what it was for. Surely he’d make a fool of himself if he went to another person’s home.
Vania brought him to the door, and Jude reflexively retreated, worried that someone had come for him.
Meanwhile, Vania stood in front of him and opened the door to reveal it was Leo and Henry.
Jude remembered seeing them, so he relaxed at once.
Following that, Vania introduced them to him with a gentle voice. She said, “There’s no need to be afraid. They’re my friends, and they went to pick you up with me just now.”
She waited for Jude to relax before turning to Leo and Henry. “How is it?”
She’d be lying if she said she wasn’t nervous.
After all, it had been five years. Even if all the information was right, a slip-up could happen. As such, she really wanted to know the results of the DNA test.
During the journey back, she had thought that even if this boy wasn’t hers, she would still take him away and not let him continue living there.
Leo was the one who broke the news. “It’s a positive, Boss. I followed every step of the way, and nothing wrong happened. This is the report.”
At that, Vania heaved a sigh of relief and read the report with joy. When she got to the statement of result, she was already beyond elated.
“Thank heavens! I’ve finally found him after all these years.”
“Congratulations, Boss,” Leo and Henry congratulated in unison.
“Thanks. Help me prepare two tickets for tomorrow’s first flight to Hammond.”
“Don’t worry, Boss.” Henry nodded. “We’ve got it all covered.”
Vania nodded at that, assured. “Thanks for all the hard work, guys. Get some rest.”
“All the follow-up issues between Little Master and the guy have been arranged and settled,” Henry said as he handed her the bag of food. “This is the dinner that you’ve requested. We’ll be taking our leave.”
Vania took the bag while saying, “Alright, thanks for the hard work.”
After that, she turned to Jude and said pitifully, “You haven’t had anything to eat for a few days, have you? I’ve got you dinner. We’ll eat in here today, and I’ll personally cook dinner to welcome you when we get back home.”
They had just met, and Jude had social anxiety, so she didn’t want to take him to where it was crowded for fear that an accident would happen if he freaked out.
