Chapter 275: Chapter 275: I’ll Take You There
After much comforting, the two children finally calmed down slowly.
However, their small shoulders still twitched with hiccups.
The other children heard about it too but it did not change their attitudes toward them.
They did not look at them any differently because of this incident.
This made the children more determined in their decision not to leave.
With such loving family and siblings, who would want to leave?
Jordan Thompson had been out in a meeting with the band about the next tour, and sensed something amiss in the atmosphere when he returned home.
The excessive hush was unusual for the house, and it made him smell something different.
Before he could ask about it, Henry Thompson pulled him aside, scaring him.
Why did they like to treat him like this all the time?
Both the children and his older brother took him for a puppet.
However outwardly he kept a smile, even though he was seething inside.
In contrast to his laughter, Henry Thompson was serious, looking upset.
He outlined the situation to him, and after hearing it, Jordan Thompson felt downcast.
No wonder the house lacked laughter and joy today. It was all because of this matter.
He put aside his distractions to spend time with the children, wanting to comfort them to keep their minds from wandering.
"I agree with the other uncles. Our children don’t need anyone else to raise them," he said.
In their hearts, the children were part of the Thompson family and nothing could change that.
Jordan Thompson’s words touched Cyrus Thompson, and the hope he thought was extinguished once again ignited.
Perhaps he could probe him, and ask him to take them to Druarus in search of their mother.
"Little uncle, I want to discuss something with you." Cyrus Thompson was serious, as if discussing a national matter.
Jordan Thompson hadn’t taken it seriously at first.
But his sudden seriousness made him pay attention.
"Tell me about it." He did not reject him immediately. Jordan Thompson was always democratic.
He would always patiently listen to the children’s opinions and help them make the best choice.
"We want to go to Druarus in search of mom. Can you take us there?" His guarded gaze betrayed his uneasiness.
He had no certainty whether Jordan Thompson would agree; it was a shot in the dark.
Seeing Cyrus’s request, Jordan Thompson wasn’t surprised - he had expected it.
Charlotte Thompson hadn’t been away from the children for long before, except for this time when she went to Druarus, thousands of miles away.
Cyrus Thompson nervously watched his expression, afraid he would disagree with them.
Spotting the calm look on his face, Cyrus Thompson sighed with relief, suddenly feeling hopeful.
"I’ll take you!" Having thought it over, Jordan Thompson looked at them determined, just like a child, one of them in heart.
The children didn’t do anything wrong. It was the adults who made the mistakes that caused them to feel insecure.
Upon hearing his agreement to take them to Druarus in search of their mother, the children who usually hid their feelings cheered joyfully.
"But big uncle and others will definitely disapprove once they know." Cyrus Thompson took a step back, frowning and sighing.
However, he kept stealing glances at Jordan Thompson, anxiously awaiting his response.
Agreement from just Jordan Thompson wouldn’t be enough.
The big uncle and the other uncles were still a hurdle they couldn’t bypass.
If they want to leave the Thompson family unhindered, they can only rely on Jordan Thompson.
All their hope was pinned on him now.
