Chapter 115 Summer and Loren Visit the Amusement Park
Chris looked at Aurora, hesitated, and said, "Actually, I'm pretty rich too. Maybe you should consider me."
Aurora looked shocked and waved her hand, laughing awkwardly. "Mr. Harris, let's not joke. I love money, but I have principles. I can't just go after your money."
'What is up with Chris today? Why the sudden interest?' she thought.
"What's that supposed to mean? John's money is money, but mine isn't?" Chris's face darkened. "Compared to John, we're both disabled, but at least I look decent and am healthy. You won't end up a young widow."
Aurora was speechless.
"Mr. Harris, are you feeling okay?" Aurora wanted to check his forehead.
'Why is he saying such nonsense?' she wondered.
Chris looked annoyed. "Aurora, think about what I said. I think you're pretty nice."
"This isn't a market where you can just name your price," Aurora said, exasperated. "Sorry, I'm not interested. I'm loyal and only care about the Lewis family's money."
Aurora's words were clear, but Chris still said, "Do you think I will live too long for you to inherit my fortune?"
"Huh?" Aurora couldn't help but laugh. "I'm really sorry."
She didn't want to laugh, but Chris's confession was just too much.
Chris's expression darkened. "Aurora, if you agree, I'll give you a monthly allowance of five million dollars. If you have a son, I'll give you a hundred million and a villa. If it's a daughter, fifty million."
Aurora listened to Chris's offer with a smile, then nodded. "Mr. Harris, your offer is tempting. I'm sure many would have kids for you, even a whole soccer team, but not me. I already like someone."
"John's face is ruined. Don't tell me you like John."
"Believe it or not, that's your business. I have things to do, so I'm leaving." Aurora shrugged. "I'm happy to be your friend, but that's it."
Chris didn't stop her. He sat in his wheelchair, touching his amputated leg, and asked his bodyguards, "Does she despise me for being disabled?"
The bodyguards exchanged looks, not daring to answer.
One bodyguard cleverly said, "Well, Mr. Lewis is not only disabled but also short-lived. Ms. White definitely doesn't despise you."
"Mr. Harris, you've only known Ms. White for a short time. Maybe she's just shy. If you pursue her sincerely, she'll agree."
Another chimed in, "If it doesn't work out, just wait for John to die and then make your move. John won't live long anyway."
Chris nodded. "Makes sense."
Aurora had just left when John called. "When are you coming back?" he asked.
He sounded like he was afraid she'd run away.
"I just finished up and plan to visit Loren." Aurora used a coaxing tone. "You rest at home. I'll come back after dinner with Loren."
John felt a bit helpless. He wasn't sick.
John wished Aurora would come back immediately, but he said, "Okay, take your time. Be safe. No rush. I'll take care of myself."
'Huh! Why did he suddenly become so generous? This isn't like John at all. He sounds generous, but his tone...' Aurora thought.
Hearing John's upset tone, Aurora softened. "I promised Loren I'd take him to the amusement park. I can't break my promise, but I'll come back early."
"Okay!"
"I'll bring you a gift when I get back," Aurora said, thinking a little surprise might cheer him up.
"Okay." John smiled, feeling better.
Men need some TLC too.
They chatted a bit more, then Aurora hung up and headed to the Robinson family. She picked up Loren, called Sophia, and the three of them went to the amusement park.
Aurora had never taken Loren to an amusement park before. They usually just went to the mall or out to eat.
Loren was fearless, trying all the thrilling rides. Aurora, still recovering from a car accident, didn't join in and let Sophia accompany Loren. That was why she brought Sophia along.
Loren, with his fair skin and cute looks, attracted a lot of little admirers.
After a while, Aurora went to buy water in the rest area. Loren was playing with a little girl at the next table, along with a few other kids.
The little girls sweetly called him "brother," and Loren, feeling proud, said, "When I grow up, I'll make you my second wife, and you my little wife."
The little girls asked, "Who's the first wife then?"
"Of course, it's Aurora."
Aurora held a special place in Loren's heart.
Kids said the darndest things, and Aurora laughed.
Sophia said, "Aurora, Loren's going to break a lot of hearts when he grows up."
Looking at Loren, Aurora sighed. "Since I adopted Loren, life has been more fun. Honestly, if his real parents show up, I’d hate to let him go."
"Unlikely. Loren's so big now. If his real parents wanted to find him, they would have by now," Sophia said. "You're worrying for nothing."
"Sophia, Loren is smart and good-looking. His parents must be exceptional. Maybe he wasn't abandoned." Aurora frowned. "Loren said he has a brother. They couldn't have abandoned both kids, right?"
Sophia thought for a moment. "That makes sense."
They watched Loren playing with the other kids. After spending so much time together, they had grown attached to him. If that day ever came, it would be tough.
"I need to use the restroom. Keep an eye on Loren, don't let him wander off." Aurora stood up and patted Sophia's shoulder.
"Go ahead." Sophia waved her off.
Aurora walked towards the restroom. The amusement park was crowded, and there was a long line. She went to the next restroom and saw a familiar little figure.
"Summer, what are you doing here?" Aurora was surprised and looked around. "Are you alone?"
"Aunt Aurora." Summer pointed to the restroom. "Godfather is inside."
With one word from John, Summer inexplicably gained a godfather, and he was quite helpless about it.
"You came with Mr. Smith?" Aurora frowned. "The amusement park is so crowded. How could Mr. Smith leave you alone outside? That's too irresponsible."
Summer innocently framed Todd. "It's okay. I'm used to it. This isn't the first time Godfather has done this."
"Summer, why don't you come with me first? I'll call Mr. Smith later." Aurora couldn't leave a four-year-old standing there alone.
What if Summer were kidnapped?
