Chapter 261

Aspen was beyond excited to have Janet as his nanny.

He liked hanging out with Daran. But he also missed his mom very much.

If he could have Janet and Datan by his side at the same time, there was nothing else that he wanted on this planet.

“Great!” Aspen stared at Daran with eagerness gleaming in his big eyes. “When are you going to interview her? Like now? Shall we go find her right away?”

Daran couldn’t help but let out a small chuckle, “You really like Lady Kurt, don’t you? But I can’t give her that interview right away. I have meetings to attend to.”

“When can I come to your meetings?” asked the boy excitedly.

Now it was Daran’s turn to be surprised, “You want to come? It is just going to be a bunch of adults talking for several hours. It might be tiresome.”

“No. I don’t find meetings tiresome. Actually, my dad let me sit in on his meetings all the time. I like seeing him scold other people when they did something wrong.”

It was true.

Westin often included Aspen in his meetings. The boy grew up by the meeting table in the council chamber, listening to the king and the elders discussing how to manage the kingdom.

Daran was once again amused by the boy’s honest answer, “Your father scolded people a lot, huh? Is he like a boss or a CEO?”

Aspen shook his head with a very serious look on his face, “No. I told you. He is a king.”

Yet Daran didn’t know that the boy was telling the truth.

He still believed that this was just a little boy’s fantasy.

“Of course, he is,” Daran said in an offhand kind of tone and rubbed the boy’s head. “Well, if you’d rather come with me than play hide–and–seek with your friends, you are more than welcome.”

Aspen let out a cry of joy and ran off to Jasmine, telling her that he would be going with Daran to the meetings.

Jasmine and the other girls found that very hard to believe.

“Are you crazy? Volunteering to be in a room full of adults and listening to their yammers…that is like suicide!” Jasmine cried.

Another girl echoed with her, “Indeed. Play with us in the garden. It is so beautiful out here. Why waste your time indoors?”

Yet Aspen shook his head firmly, “No thank you. I have had enough fun for one day already. Now it is time for me to learn. I will hang out with you another day perhaps.”

He bowed to the girls like a little gentleman and hastily ran back to Daran.

“Let us go,” said the boy as he offered his little hand to Daran.
