Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved

Chapter 331

Yannis looked at Zinnia and said, “Zinnia, none of us would feel at ease if you were on your own. Your registration family should be with either the Lynns or the Jenkinses. We just wouldn’t trust anyone else with

this.”

Yannis thought, ‘Registering her with any other family wouldn’t make it any easier to protect her. After all, the Shaws are related to the Lynns by marriage, and in Jinston’s social circles, few would dare risk the trouble the Shaws might bring.

‘But if her registration ended up with the Lynns, Maelis would never let it go without a fight.

Yannis had thought about taking Zinnia in, but couldn’t come up with a proper justification.

Just as they were talking, the doorbell rang. Yannis went to open the door and found the entire Jenkins family, Aaron, Yvette, and Maisie, standing neatly in a row outside, each loaded with armfuls of gifts.

Yvette craned her neck, peering past Yannis. She exclaimed, “Where’s my girl? Have you been taking good care of her? Zinnia, my sweetheart, I am here! I’ve come to take you home!

As she spoke, she shouldered Yannis aside as she made a beeline for Zinnia.

After school, Yvette and Maisie went to pick up Aaron, who had just returned from a business trip. The three of them were having dinner at a restaurant when Yannis called. Without hesitation, they dropped everything and came right over.

The armfuls of welcome gifts they carried had been hastily picked up at the mall.

“Zinnia! Zinnia!” Maisie called out cheerfully, unable to contain her excitement. She thought, ‘Zinnia is already my friend, and now she is going to be part of my family. This is just amazing. I can hang out with her every day!

Yvette and Maisie shouldered Yannis aside and rushed straight to Zinnia.

“Uncle Aaron, come in,” Yannis said, nodding to Aaron.

Aaron was in his early forties. With refined, scholarly features accentuated by silver–rimmed glasses and a tailored gray suit, he still looked remarkably youthful.

He shed the sharp authority he carried in the business world and replaced it with the doting affection he reserved for Yvette and Maisie. His arms were still full of packages, including gifts specially brought from abroad for Zinnia.
