Chapter 488
She asked calmly, "Where is your dad?"
"I don't know." Owen, with a mouthful of food, mumbled, "I didn't see dad when I woke up this morning."
Keith swallowed his food before saying, "The Winston Group has a lot of things to deal with, so dad should be at the company handling business."
Alfred smiled and said, "Today is Saturday, Ivan doesn't need to go to the company."
Keith frowned. "Alfred, are you serious?"
Although company employees didn't have to work on weekends, Ivan worked all year round, especially with a lot of recent company matters to attend to.
"Of course, it's true," Alfred continued, "Ivan has arranged activities for you four. After breakfast, I will take you there."
Owen curiously asked, "What activities?"
"Keith, Owen, and Todd are going to the IQ testing center to test their IQ."
Upon hearing this, Owen immediately shook his head. "I'm not going!"
Keith also frowned. "I've been tested before."
Alfred smiled. "Haley and Ivan discussed that Keith and Owen will be sent to preschool, and many prestigious schools require an IQ test report, so they must go for a test."
Todd lightly pursed his lips, "Then I probably don't need to go, right?"
"Ivan's idea is to make a comparison." Alfred said calmly, "If Todd's IQ is higher than Owen's, then we can consider changing the order."
"Impossible!" Owen became anxious. "I'm smarter than Todd, I don't want to change the order!"
Alfred smiled faintly. "You'll know after the test."
Haley hesitated.
Testing IQ, was it really necessary?
There was no need to rank children based on their intelligence.
Ivan's actions might hurt Owen's feelings.
She was about to stop it when she saw Alfred wink at her. She instantly understood that he was intentionally sending the children away.
"Mrs. Winston said she would take Angela out to buy jewelry this afternoon, does Angela want to go?" Alfred coaxed while holding the little girl.
Angela immediately got excited. "Yes, I want to buy lots of shiny gemstones!"
Haley was speechless.
She didn't like jewelry either, why was Angela so fond of it?
In the midst of Alfred's coaxing and deceiving, the four children were taken to the car.
Before leaving, each of them kissed Haley.
After everyone in the house had left, Haley was still in a daze.
It was obvious that Alfred deliberately took away several children, what would happen next?
Just as she was lost in thought, a message came to her phone.
It was a text from Ivan: [Haley, I'll come pick you up in two hours, please wait for me patiently.]
Haley's heart suddenly raced.
She sat down on the sofa, holding her phone, and slowly typed a word back: [Okay.]
Was this man going to continue what he didn't finish yesterday?
She suddenly felt a bit excited!
No, she couldn't be nervous, she had to relax. She must relax.
Haley ran upstairs, redid her makeup, opened her wardrobe, and tried on clothes one by one.
She suddenly felt like she didn't have enough clothes, and now that she was going out alone with a man, she didn't know what to wear.
After much consideration, she finally chose a slim white dress, paired with a knitted jacket, then sat downstairs on the sofa patiently waiting.
