My Billionaire Husband

Abby didn't quite understand but decided to trust what the smiley woman was saying. After all, she was Dad Brian's sister; she surely wouldn't do her any harm.

At that moment, Aaron, who was playing with his toys upstairs, heard the noise and peered down from the top of the stairs.

Sybil waved at him and said, "Come down to greet your cousin."

"Cousin?" Aaron was confused and went downstairs.

When he got down to the first floor, he found a sweet girl looking at him with big, curious eyes.

Aaron was shy and covered his face. He had no idea who the girl was, but she was adorable.

Abby wore a pink dress, and her hair was done in two neat plaits. She was so cute that Aaron could not help but lie on the ground and cover his face.

When Sybil saw how Aaron was behaving, she laughed. She lifted him up from the ground and said, "This is Aunt Diana's little girl."

Aaron was still shy but said with a quiet voice, "Hello."

"Hi!" Abby was more outgoing and offered him a big smile.

However, this made Aaron shier still, and he covered his face again.

"Mum, I want to go outside." 

Sybil stopped him at once. 

"Where do you want to go?"

"I want to go to Eden's," Aaron replied.

"Excuse me?" Sybil was confused. Eden was one of Aaron's kindergarten classmates. He only lived a few doors down, but of course, Aaron was not allowed out on his own.

Aaron insisted and tried to open the front door.

Showing her anger now, Sybil exclaimed, "Aaron, Abby is here. It's not polite to leave her alone."

Aaron turned around and said seriously, "That's why I want to go to Eden's."

"What are you talking about?"

"Eden is always showing off his little sister. Now I have one. And mine is cuter than his. I want to invite him to see." 

Naturally, this sent Sybil into hysterical laughter. It was just too cute!

After taking a moment to catch her breath, Sybil replied, "Aaron, it's too late. We can go there tomorrow. Today, we stay at home and accompanied Abby to eat cake. What do you think?"

Aaron nodded with p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e. He'd love to accompany this cute little girl.

The two children sat down next to each other at the table, looking curiously at one another. 

"What's your name?" Aaron asked gently.

"My name is Abby." 

"Abby, my name is Aaron. Our names have the same first letter. Is there a 'C' in your family name? My family name is Carter."

Abby shook her head.

"No, there is no 'C' in my family name. My family name is Anderson."

Aaron was confused. He thought she was family!

As promised, Sybil then brought in two delicious looking cakes.

Actually, she had made them both herself. Unfortunately, Ken and Aaron both didn't like dessert, which hurt Sybil greatly. She had no one to share her passion with and had almost lost the d.e.s.i.r.e to bake.

When Sybil put the cake on the table, Aaron huffed.

"Aaron, don't you like cakes?"

Still, Aaron looked unhappy.

"Dad told me that cake is for girls. I'm a boy, so I don't like cakes."

How could Ken tell Aaron something like that? Sybil was annoyed and decided she would definitely have a talk with Ken when he came back.

Sybil acted gently to Abby and asked, "Abby, do you like dessert?"

"Yes, I love it!"

"That's great." Sybil was joyful that she finally had someone who appreciated dessert as much as she did.

"Have a try. This is Aunt Sybil's favorite."

Abby nodded and had a taste.

"Wow! This is delicious!" Abby exclaimed.

Sybil touched her head and said gently, "If you like it, you can have as much as you like."

Since Aaron saw Abby was eating the cake so happily, he asked hesitantly, "Is it really that tasty?"

Abby gave him an enthusiastic, "Yes!"

Sybil immediately took out a spoon and offered it to Aaron.

"Do you want a try?"

"It's too sweet," he complained.

Sybil shook her head but was proud that he had at least tried it.

***

Once Abby finished her cake, Sybil had another idea for something they could do together. She took Abby and Aaron upstairs.

"Aunt Sybil, where are we going?"

"Somewhere, we can make you even more beautiful. Would you like to see?"

"Yes, I'd love to!" Abby replied happily.

Sybil took the two children up to her dressing room and opened the closet at the bottom.

Abby was amazed to see it was filled with lots of beautiful children's dresses.

"Aunt Sybil, why do you have so many lovely clothes?" Abby asked.

"Well, before Aaron arrived, I was so excited that I bought clothes for both a boy and a girl. I couldn't return these, so I put them here," Sybil replied.

Actually, Sybil had tried several times to dress Aaron as a girl. However, Ken, who normally supported her ideas, was totally against this one. Aaron dodged a bullet, thanks to Ken's insistence.

Now with the very cute Abby here, Sybil was excited to see the dresses worn finally.

Sybil took her to the changing room and let her choose whatever dress she wanted. Then she handed the camera to Aaron.

"Aaron, take a photo of Abby in her dress, can you do that, baby?"

"I got it." Aaron accepted the camera and waited impatiently.

Sybil could not wait to see how Diana reacted when she saw Abby's photos in the beautiful dresses.

As for Brian and Ken, they were still hunting for Diana. They had searched numerous rooms but could not find her. Suddenly, it occurred to Brian to try and call Diana's phone. Sure enough, from a room at the far end of the corridor, Brian could hear the faint sound of Diana's phone ringing. He sprinted toward the room where the sound was coming from and, without breaking stride, flung the door open. Inside, he was confronted with a horrible sight. Antonette was holding a knife to Diana's neck, while Diana appeared to be unconscious and was hanging lifelessly in Antonette's arms.
