Just the thought of leaving a bad impression on the two children because of Lucas, made Adrian's brow furrow harshly. He had put in so much effort just hoping that Dylan, that little guy, would let his guard down and connect with them.

But if the outcome went against his expectations, then why did he bring this person here?

With that in mind, Adrian's gaze towards Lucas became even more fierce.

Lucas sat in place, feeling as if his back was about to freeze.

It was so scary, he wanted to go home.

Jacob, who was sitting in the front, couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to speak, "Mr. Blackwood, please don't rush. Lucas is just afraid."

"Wow, you always have a serious expression on your face with the little ones. No wonder they're afraid of you." Jacob remarked.

Upon hearing this, Adrian paused his actions. "Is that so?" he asked.

Jacob countered, "Isn't it? If you treat Ruby and Dylan with that expression and attitude, do you think they won't be afraid of you like Lucas?" Jacob's words left Adrian silent.

"What should I do then?" Adrian said, showing a rare hint of confusion.

"It's simple." Jacob spoke as casually as if he were talking about eating and drinking, "Treat him like you do Ruby and Dylan."

Squinting his eyes, Adrian questioned, "Do you think that's possible?"

How could he possibly be gentle with someone else's child?

Jacob, in a matter-of-fact tone, replied, "Mr. Blackwood, why wouldn't it be possible? Wasn't it you who wanted to establish a closer relationship with those two little ones? You've spent so much money and effort on it. You think it's impossible? Then why did you do all those things before? You might as well send him back and forget about everything."

Jacob's words rendered Adrian speechless.

After a moment of silence, Adrian squinted his eyes and said, "You seem to be getting more audacious lately."

Feeling the chill emanating from Adrian, Jacob involuntarily shrunk his neck. "No, not at all. I'm just offering reasonable advice."

Adrian didn't say anything more, focusing his gaze on Lucas, who was also shrinking his neck.

He moved his thin lips, wanting to say something, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to speak and could only instruct Jacob, "Explain everything to him."

Seeing that Adrian had no other choice, Jacob could only say to Lucas, "Young man, your name is Lucas, right? Let me tell you, there's no need to be afraid..."

After a long and earnest persuasion from Jacob, explaining that Adrian was actually the kind of person who appeared cold but was warm-hearted, Lucas seemed to truly believe it.

Adrian's gaze no longer seemed as intimidating to him.

Taking advantage of the situation, Jacob handed a bag of candy to Adrian.

Instinctively, Adrian avoided taking it and frowned. "What is this for?"

Jacob suggested, "It's for the child, Mr. Blackwood. Kids like eating sweet things, and I bought various flavors. Children love them."

After pondering for a moment, Adrian finally accepted it.

Then, he took one out and handed it to Lucas.

Although Lucas was no longer as afraid as before, he still felt a bit nervous. But after receiving the candy, he seemed to relax a little.

"Get out of the car, let's go into the school." Adrian said.

The principal was still personally receiving visitors because he had heard that it was a relative of Adrian's family coming to study here. He treated Lucas exceptionally well, even holding his hand and taking him to the classroom, instructing the teacher to arrange a seat for him.

And at this moment, not far away, Ruby ran towards Adrian with excitement when she saw him.

"Uncle NightA!" she exclaimed, with Dylan following closely behind.

Dylan still maintained a cautious distance and expression when facing Adrian.

Adrian retracted his gaze and squatted down in front of Ruby. "Do you want some candy?"

"Thank you, Uncle NightA." Ruby quickly took the candy.

Adrian passed one to Dylan as well. Dylan took it with restraint and didn't immediately eat it. Instead, he looked at Lucas, who had suddenly appeared beside Adrian.

Lucas also stared at the two children.

He lowered his gaze and instinctively moved behind Adrian.

Ruby noticed his movement. "Uncle NightA, is this your baby?"

Adrian pursed his thin lips and reluctantly denied it. "Sort of, but he's a relative's child, not mine."

Hearing this, Ruby widened her watery eyes. "Is he the kid you mentioned in this school?"

"Yeah, his parents are busy, so they entrusted me to look after his schooling for him." In the past, Adrian would never stoop to any deception.

It was only out of helplessness that he resorted to this action.

However, now, facing Ruby's innocent and transparent eyes, a sense of guilt arose within Adrian's heart.

At this moment, he felt like a strange uncle.

Ruby, oblivious to everything, ran to his side and greeted Lucas, "Hello, I'm Ruby. This is my brother, Dylan. What's your name?"

The little girl was plump and had good skin. She was wearing a beige coat and had two braids, making her not only cute but also very approachable. Only then did Lucas shyly say, "I'm Lucas."

The little girl was naturally outgoing, and Lucas quickly integrated with the two of them, despite his initial shyness.

Watching them interact, Adrian said, "Lucas is more introverted. Can you two take care of him in school?"

"Of course we can." Ruby held Lucas's hand and smiled. "We're friends from now on."

Lucas blushed when the girl held his hand.

"Alright, then I'll treat you to cake for lunch. What flavor do you like? I'll bring it over at noon." Adrian said gently. "Uncle NightA, I want chocolate flavor. My brother doesn't like cake." Ruby happily replied.

Adrian was slightly surprised by this unexpected revelation and looked at Dylan. "Little guy, you don't like cake?"

Dylan pursed his little mouth and shook his head.

Adrian's eyes softened, and he placed his hand on the back of Dylan's head. "Then what do you like to eat? I'll bring it along when I come at noon." "No, it's fine." Dylan hesitated.

"My brother doesn't like cake, he likes to eat hamburger buns!" Ruby didn't consider much and immediately added.

"Are you talking about burger buns?" Adrian narrowed his eyes. This was the first time he heard someone liking to eat burger buns.

"Ruby!" Dylan urgently whispered her name. "When did I say I like eating burger buns?"

Innocently, Ruby looked at him. "Isn't it so, Dylan? Every time we eat burgers, you always eat the buns."

"That's only because you don't eat the buns, just the meat," Dylan solemnly explained. "Mommy said we shouldn't waste food, and as your big brother, I have to eat what you can't finish." Hearing this, Adrian understood everything. He chuckled lightly, realizing how considerate his son was towards his sister. Well done.
