Compared to Ruby's joy, Dylan remained calm. While Lucas next to them couldn't help but swallow his saliva as he watched this scene.

Although his family was not a poor and one and his parents had a decent income, most of the money went towards paying off debts, so these things were luxury items for him. He might not even eat them once a month.

"Here." Ruby took the first burger and handed it to Lucas.

Lucas originally reached out to take it, but then he thought of something and stopped, turning to look at Adrian.

Although Jacob told him to call the man in front of him Uncle, he still couldn't bring himself to do it.

He always felt that the man was fierce, and if he upset him, he would be in trouble.

Seeing him hesitate, Ruby followed his gaze and looked at Adrian.

The smile at the corner of Adrian's lips paused for a moment.

Why look at him? Did he have to look at him to eat? How would his children see him later? Jacob, what exactly did he do to convince him?

"Uncle NightA?" Ruby's voice brought Adrian back to reality, and he immediately changed his face and said to Lucas, "Lucas, did you say thank you to Ruby?"

Lucas realized the situation and quickly grabbed the burger from Ruby's hand, then whispered a thank you.

Ruby didn't mind this at all, after all, her mommy taught her to do the same.

After receiving her burger, Ruby picked out the unwanted bun and handed it to Adrian without any hesitation. Dylan, who was nearby, saw it and quickly reached out to stop her. "Ruby, you can't be so rude."

Hearing this, Ruby looked confused.

"But Uncle NightA said he would help my you and me eat the bun?"

Dylan was stunned and couldn't explain it to her for a moment.

Maybe Uncle NightA was just joking? After all, how could he help them eat it? They had only met a few times.

Just as Dylan was about to take the bun himself, a pair of distinct hands took it in advance.

The three children looked in that direction.

Adrian took the bun and smiled slightly. "I keep my word, let me eat it, I'm hungry anyway."

Ruby immediately smiled, "Dylan, I told you, Uncle NightA was telling the truth."

After saying that, she wanted to remove the lettuce inside, which made Adrian frown and stop her. "You can't take out the vegetables."

Ruby didn't listen, so Adrian simply held her wrist.

In that moment of holding hands, something seemed to hit Adrian's heart, and he stood still.

A child's wrist was soft, like touching a marshmallow. It felt like if he used a little force, he would break his daughter's hand.

A few seconds later, Adrian tremblingly withdrew his hand, but his face remained calm. "You don't have to eat the bun, but you must eat the vegetables."

Ruby pouted, unhappy, and called her brother to support her.

But Dylan ignored her and even said, "Uncle NightA is right, you can't skip the vegetables, you should eat more fruits too."

"You're mean, Dylan!" Ruby complained softly, turned her head, and ate what was left of her burger.

After finishing the meal, Dylan was no longer as on guard with Adrian, probably because his actions spoke louder than words.

Adrian packed up and said to Lucas, "I won't be available to pick you up after school this afternoon, the driver will come to get you. Do you remember the uncle who was the driver this morning?" Lucas nodded.

"Get in his car when school finishes." Adrian said.

"Okay, Uncle." Lucas nodded again.

After saying goodbye to the kids, Adrian left the school.

After leaving the school gate, Adrian covered his mouth with his hand, his eyebrows furrowed.

Jacob quickly handed him a thermos.

"Mr. Blackwood, your stomach is not yet healed. Eating that kind of junk food is not good for your stomach." Adrian took the cup and sipped it.

Seeing this, Jacob took a few more pills and handed them to Adrian.

Adrian looked at the pills but didn't take them.

"Mr. Blackwood, you should still take them. What if you don't heal completely and can't take care of your kids?" Jacob persuaded.

Indeed, Adrian was convinced by his words and silently took the pills, swallowing them down.

Jacob secretly rejoiced.

He used to be unwilling to take medicine, always thinking he could handle it on his own. But now that he found the right medication, things have become much simpler.

After taking the medicine, Adrian leaned against the car and rested for a while, still feeling a slight discomfort in his stomach.

It really was junk food, Adrian thought.

Next time, if he buys snacks for the kids again, he shouldn't buy this stuff.

"Mr. Blackwood, you don't seem to be in a good state. How about we go back to the hospital for a couple of days? After all, the situation last time was quite serious." Jacob proposed. "No need." Adrian replied, flatly rejecting his suggestion, "I can manage."

"But..." Jacob hesitated.

"But what? Following a regular diet and taking medication, isn't that enough?" Adrian interrupted.

"It is enough, but..." Jacob was worried about Adrian's health.

"Then stop talking and drive." Adrian instructed decisively.

Eva left work early that day.

After getting the car, she drove directly to the school to pick up her little ones.

Although her driving skills hadn't diminished, she still felt a bit uncomfortable with the traffic in America, so she decided to rather drive slowly.

When she arrived at the school, she immediately noticed a little boy that she didn't recognize next to her two little ones.

The boy was standing near Ruby, who had been talking nonstop.

Eva parked the car and opened the door. Perhaps because she had come by car today, the two little ones didn't notice her at first. It took them a while before they saw her. "Mummy!" Ruby happily waved.

Eva walked up to the three children.

"Lucas, this is my mummy."

Lucas? Eva looked at him. Hesitantly, Lucas greeted her, " Hello Auntie."

"Hello." Eva reached into her pocket and took out some candy to give it to him.

Lucas stood still, and Ruby immediately took it from Eva and handed it to him, saying, "Lucas, take it quickly. We're friends now, don't be shy with us."

Dylan silently tightened his lips as he watched this scene.

Lucas blushed as he accepted the candy box, saying, "Thank you, Auntie."

After giving the candy to Lucas, Ruby started explaining his identity, "Mummy, he is Uncle NightA's relative's child. Uncle NightA brought Lucas to school today."

Eva listened and then queried, "NightA's cousin's child?"

"Yes." Ruby nodded immediately.

Eva didn't understand before why it was such a coincidence that NightA had showed up at the school, but now it all seemed to make sense.

Given his ability to give generous rewards, he must be an influential figure in Chicago. And this school was the best in the city, so it seemed normal for him to bring his relatives to study here. The only abnormal thing was that he insisted on meeting her in person...
