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 cup 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, | am here! I've cto 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

cright over.

The armfuls of welcgifts 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. | can hang out with her every day!

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

“Uncle Aaron, cin,” 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.

Aaron said, “How is Zinnia? | have already asked a lawyer to draft the statement. And he will arrive soon.”

Aaron had learned from Yvette a few days earlier that she had taken on a goddaughter. Since Yvette was the one

who made decisions in the family, as long as she was happy, Aaron had no objections.

Aaron had just landed when Yvette and Maisie couldn't stop singing the praises of Zinnia. Even though he hadn't

met Zinnia yet, he already felt a soft spot for her.

Yannis looked at Aaron and said, “I'm sure you'll like Zinnia when you meet her. You won't regret your decision

today.” As he mentioned Zinnia, his expression softened visibly.

Aaron said, “If even you like her, that girl must be something special.” He was momentarily taken aback by the

uncharacteristic softness in Yannis’s demeanor.

Aaron knew Yannis well. Yannis seemed easygoing, but was distant toward outsiders. Now, seeing how much

effort Yannis was putting into Zinnia’s affairs, Aaron realized Zinnia had truly won Yannis’s heart.

“Raymond will be here shortly,” Aaron said to Yannis as he stepped inside.

Upon learning about Zinnia’s situation, Yvette immediately called Raymond and made a special request for him

to lend his authority, demonstrating just how much the family valued Zinnia. Since Aaron's parents had passed

away early on, Raymond was the only elder they could turn to.

After greeting Henry and the others, Yvette hurried over to Zinnia, her face radiating maternal tenderness. She

bent down, cupped Zinnia’s face in both hands, and planted two warm kisses on her cheeks.

She exclaimed, “Zinnia, my precious baby girl! | missed you so terribly! Just a few days apart, and you've grown

even more beautiful!”

The Lynns all rose to their feet involuntarily in response to Yvette’s actions. Sofia even reached out to stop

Yvette, but found herself at a loss for words.

However, seeing Yvette’'s genuine warmth toward Zinnia, the Lynns visibly relaxed. They were relieved to see

Yvette genuinely adoring Zinnia.

“Yvette,” Zinnia called out helplessly as her cheeks were showered with kisses.

Yvette cupped Zinnia’s cheeks with both hands and gently corrected her, “CallMom from now on. You're my

daughter now.”

Yannis couldn't help but wince at Yvette’s actions. He thought to himself, ‘Did | do the right thing by calling

Yvette over?”

Aaron nodded in greeting to the Lynns.

“Aaron, when did you get back? Csit,” Henry called out to Aaron.

“Just got back. | found out about picking up my new daughter at the last minute and didn’t have tto prepare

anything properly. | just grabbed a few things from the mall.

“I hope you don’t mind,” Aaron said with an apologetic smile as he set down his armful of gifts.

“Zinnia, this is Aaron, your new father,” Yvette said warmly.

Zinnia looked up and met Aaron’s smile.

“Zinnia,” Aaron called softly.

Perhaps sensing her gaze, Aaron smiled at Zinnia, radiating warmth but with a slight awkwardness of meeting

Zinnia for the first time. It was a stark contrast to how Donald had first looked at Zinnia, his brows furrowed and

his eyes barely concealing his disdain.

Though Donald tried hard to conceal it, Zinnia could still sense his dislike for her. After all, his attitude toward her

was nothing like the way he doted on Betty.

Although there wasn’t much evident joy on Aaron’s face, Zinnia could tell that he was trying his best to maintain

a gentle demeanor, lest he intimidate her, whom he had just met.

Aaron didn’t know much about Zinnia yet, but he could already tell she was the kind of girl who easily won

people’s hearts. Not long ago, when Maisie chome, she even brought gifts from Zinnia for the whole family.

Zinnia made Moon Scar Cream for Yvette and Maisie, and it looked just like the one the Moore family used to

make.

Having heard that Aaron had been in poor health as a child, Zinnia prepared srare ingredients for him to

create a nutritious diet.

Raymond was also deeply moved when he saw those gifts Zinnia prepared. He said, “Zinnia is such a sincere girl.

The ingredients she prepared are all rare and precious herbs.”

Accordingly, even though Aaron never met Zinnia, she had already made an excellent first impression on

him.

“Zinnia, sweetheart, call him Dad,” Yvette urged with a beaming smile.

Zinnia bit her lip. Meeting Aaron's quietly affectionate gaze, her breath caught. Her lashes trembled before she

finally spoke, “Aaron.” She couldn't bring herself to call Aaron Dad.

“Hey, sweetheart!” Aaron responded without hesitation, his eyes practically brimming with joy and a wide smile

spreading across his face.

Excitement surged in Aaron’s heart, but years in the business world had trained him to keep his face carefully

neutral.
