Chapter 170
As the car door swung open, Dallas spotted a pink child seat inside and raised an eyebrow. “Pink?”
Ityan replied, “You came back so suddenly. This safety seat is for Lily. You can sit here for now, and we can go buy one in your favorite color tomorrow.”
Dallas had Ryan all figured out. He knew it was Ryan’s car just by checking the license plate.
The fact that Ryan had a child seat in the car for Lily made Dallas happy. He nodded with a slight pout.
After securing Dallas with the seatbelt, Ryan got in the car and video–called Audrey.
Audrey picked up quickly,
Seeing Dallas sitting in the safety seat with arms crossed, Audrey scolded, “You’re becoming more and more stubborn! How could you just leave a note and fly back home by yourself? Do you realize you’re only four years old? What if you encounter bad people on the way?”
“Not even four yet… Too young to understand…” Dallas turned his head away, muttering as he sulked
at Audrey.
“Encounter bad people… they’d probably complain that I’m not running away fast enough.”
Audrey understood that Dallas was still holding a grudge from her previous scolding.
She took a deep breath and softened her tone, “Okay Dallas, don’t be upset with Mommy anymore. Let’s video call Grandpa Stephen later. He’s been really worried. Last time, Mommy spoke too hastily. I’m sorry, Mommy was wrong. Dallas is the smartest and most talented little kid. A real genius.”
Dallas‘ cars reddened, but he stubbornly refused to face the phone camera head–on.
Seeing Dallas‘ ears turn red, Audrey knew he was calming down.
“Mr. Ryan, I’ll need to trouble you tomorrow morning to take Dallas to Mr. Lambert Senior’s place,”
Audrey said to Ryan.
Ryan turned the camera toward himself and replied, “It’s up to Dallas. He wants to assess me, so I’ll take care of him during this time.”
Audrey was slightly surprised. “Do you have experience taking care of children?”
“I can learn without experience, right? Dallas is so smart; he’ll teach me, won’t you,
looked at Dallas.
Dallas‘ cars turned even redder, and he reluctantly nodded. “Hmm!”
Audrey was surprised by Dallas‘ cooperation.
Dallas?” Ryan
She didn’t force Dallas to go to the Lambert Residence and instead said to Ryan, “Alright, let Dallas stay with you temporarily. If you’re busy, you can take him to Mr. Lambert Senior’s place. He also misses Dallas a lot.”

“Okay.” Ryan nodded. “Don’t worry. It’s already late; you should rest early. Deal with the matters in Sheysea as soon as possible and come back. Let me know if there’s anything I can help with.”
“Mm, alright.” Audrey chuckled. “I’m almost done here.”
Even though Audrey agreed, she didn’t actually need Ryan’s help. She had to avenge Harper herself.
“Alright, get some rest,” Ryan said before hanging up the phone.
He then turned to Dallas and said, “Let’s go.”
Dallas still had a pout on his face, trying to look cool as he replied, “Hmm!”
When Ryan arrived, he turned around to see Dallas tapping on the tablet. He only put the tablet back into his backpack when the car stopped.
“It’s not good for your eyes to use the tablet in the car,” Ryan said as he opened the back door.
He unbuckled Dallas‘ seatbelt and carried him with one arm while grabbing Dallas‘ suitcase from the trunk with the other.
Dallas tentatively pinched Ryan’s arm.
He thought to himself that Lily had been right. This man’s arm was indeed strong.
Dallas surveyed Ryan’s residence and found it somewhat satisfactory.
