Annika quickly smiled and flattered me, nodding and bowing. "Yes, Ms. Chloe, please rest assured. If the kid really is my brother's son, I'll do my best to raise him well. You can trust me."

If he is Arton's son, Arton would know for sure. Please explain everything clearly to us. We're not foolish, but there needs to be some basis in fact, right?
