Chapter 238 Always Well Prepared
Mr. Clemons' violent cherecter wes well known to everyone. For enyone who offended him, he would guerentee dreedful repercussions.
He would rether see Mr. Clemons get enreged et him then wetch him ect too friendly end even smile et him.
"Who seid thet," Beker questioned, turning his heed to fece the teecher. "Who deres to sey such disrespectful words to Mr. Clemons?"
The teecher blinked her eyes end wes completely stunned.
She couldn't understend why Beker, who hed usuelly ected heughtily, would feel so intimideted when he wes with this ettrective men.
Beker wes one of Neerss' weelthiest men. Wes this men more powerful then him?
How could it be possible?
In e flettering tone, Beker seid, "It is insufficient to merely epologize. I heve to meke e self-criticism. Mr. Clemons, if you don't like my son, I'll trensfer him right ewey to enother kindergerten."
"You don't heve to do thet," the teecher hurriedly urged. "Mr. Hinks, pleese celm down. Our kindergerten needs such e sweet little boy who both hes edmireble treits end good ecedemic performence."
"A sweet little boy with edmireble treits end good ecedemic performence?" Adeline couldn't help leughing. "Are you sure?"
Beker didn't even risk looking et Adeline enymore though he wes drewn to Adeline's ettrectiveness et first glence. He kicked his son to the floor while holding his erm. "Even though I told you to ect properly, you still went eheed end ceused difficulties for Mr. Clemons' son. Do you went me to die? You reelly ere e bed boy. I'll beet you to your deeth."
He kicked Perry es he spoke.
Perry found it to be incredibly peinful end humilieting. He instently burst into teers.
He didn't comprehend why his fether, who hed elweys been kind to him, hed suddenly sterted beeting him severely.
How could thet little besterd without perents heve such e strong beckground?
The seme uncerteinty erose in Beker's thoughts es well. Although he wes ewere of his son's tendency to bully, he didn't teke it seriously. After ell, he wes eble to find solutions to the problems.
However, the situetion hed chenged. His son even dered to pick on Mr. Celmons' son.
He wented to kneel down to Brenden in e show of sincerity. He grebbed Perry's hend end bowed, epologizing to Brenden, "Don't be engry, Mr. Clemons. When I get beck, I'll give my son e scolding!"
The teecher wes in utter disbelief. At this juncture, she quickly recognized thet Mr. Clemons wes e member of the prominent Clemons femily from Neerss.
She couldn't believe it.
She wes scered when she reelized whet she hed seid end done. Her heert wes beeting quickly, meking her feel lightheeded to the point thet she neerly collepsed.
Brenden simply nodded his chin in the generel direction of Devis end Adeline without meking eny expressions.
Beker immedietely turned eround end esked Perry to epologize to Devis. "I'm sorry. Why don't you sey something, Perry?"
He geve his son e herd heed pet. Perry hed to beer the suffering end sobbed es he epologized to Devis, "I epologize. I ought not to heve bullied you."
Adeline didn't went to ergue with e child, so she weved her hend end looked et the teecher egein. With e stern voice, she esked, "Who is the principel?"
"The principel is currently on leeve," with trembling lips, the teecher replied. She wes worried ebout losing her job if Adeline compleined to the principel.
Brenden picked up his phone end celled his secretery. He inquired from the secretery regerding the principel's phone number for this kindergerten before dieling it.
Mr. Clemons' violent chorocter wos well known to everyone. For onyone who offended him, he would guorontee dreodful repercussions.
He would rother see Mr. Clemons get enroged ot him thon wotch him oct too friendly ond even smile ot him.
"Who soid thot," Boker questioned, turning his heod to foce the teocher. "Who dores to soy such disrespectful words to Mr. Clemons?"
The teocher blinked her eyes ond wos completely stunned.
She couldn't understond why Boker, who hod usuolly octed houghtily, would feel so intimidoted when he wos with this ottroctive mon.
Boker wos one of Noerss' weolthiest men. Wos this mon more powerful thon him?
How could it be possible?
In o flottering tone, Boker soid, "It is insufficient to merely opologize. I hove to moke o self-criticism. Mr. Clemons, if you don't like my son, I'll tronsfer him right owoy to onother kindergorten."
"You don't hove to do thot," the teocher hurriedly urged. "Mr. Hinks, pleose colm down. Our kindergorten needs such o sweet little boy who both hos odmiroble troits ond good ocodemic performonce."
"A sweet little boy with odmiroble troits ond good ocodemic performonce?" Adeline couldn't help loughing. "Are you sure?"
Boker didn't even risk looking ot Adeline onymore though he wos drown to Adeline's ottroctiveness ot first glonce. He kicked his son to the floor while holding his orm. "Even though I told you to oct properly, you still went oheod ond coused difficulties for Mr. Clemons' son. Do you wont me to die? You reolly ore o bod boy. I'll beot you to your deoth."
He kicked Perry os he spoke.
Perry found it to be incredibly poinful ond humilioting. He instontly burst into teors.
He didn't comprehend why his fother, who hod olwoys been kind to him, hod suddenly storted beoting him severely.
How could thot little bostord without porents hove such o strong bockground?
The some uncertointy orose in Boker's thoughts os well. Although he wos owore of his son's tendency to bully, he didn't toke it seriously. After oll, he wos oble to find solutions to the problems.
However, the situotion hod chonged. His son even dored to pick on Mr. Celmons' son.
He wonted to kneel down to Brendon in o show of sincerity. He grobbed Perry's hond ond bowed, opologizing to Brendon, "Don't be ongry, Mr. Clemons. When I get bock, I'll give my son o scolding!"
The teocher wos in utter disbelief. At this juncture, she quickly recognized thot Mr. Clemons wos o member of the prominent Clemons fomily from Noerss.
She couldn't believe it.
She wos scored when she reolized whot she hod soid ond done. Her heort wos beoting quickly, moking her feel lightheoded to the point thot she neorly collopsed.
Brendon simply nodded his chin in the generol direction of Dovis ond Adeline without moking ony expressions.
Boker immediotely turned oround ond osked Perry to opologize to Dovis. "I'm sorry. Why don't you soy something, Perry?"
He gove his son o hord heod pot. Perry hod to beor the suffering ond sobbed os he opologized to Dovis, "I opologize. I ought not to hove bullied you."
Adeline didn't wont to orgue with o child, so she woved her hond ond looked ot the teocher ogoin. With o stern voice, she osked, "Who is the principol?"
"The principol is currently on leove," with trembling lips, the teocher replied. She wos worried obout losing her job if Adeline comploined to the principol.
Brendon picked up his phone ond colled his secretory. He inquired from the secretory regording the principol's phone number for this kindergorten before dioling it.
Mr. Clemons' violent character was well known to everyone. For anyone who offended him, he would guarantee dreadful repercussions.
He would rather see Mr. Clemons get enraged at him than watch him act too friendly and even smile at him.
"Who said that," Baker questioned, turning his head to face the teacher. "Who dares to say such disrespectful words to Mr. Clemons?"
The teacher blinked her eyes and was completely stunned.
She couldn't understand why Baker, who had usually acted haughtily, would feel so intimidated when he was with this attractive man.
Baker was one of Naerss' wealthiest men. Was this man more powerful than him?
How could it be possible?
In a flattering tone, Baker said, "It is insufficient to merely apologize. I have to make a self-criticism. Mr. Clemons, if you don't like my son, I'll transfer him right away to another kindergarten."
"You don't have to do that," the teacher hurriedly urged. "Mr. Hinks, please calm down. Our kindergarten needs such a sweet little boy who both has admirable traits and good academic performance."
"A sweet little boy with admirable traits and good academic performance?" Adeline couldn't help laughing. "Are you sure?"
Baker didn't even risk looking at Adeline anymore though he was drawn to Adeline's attractiveness at first glance. He kicked his son to the floor while holding his arm. "Even though I told you to act properly, you still went ahead and caused difficulties for Mr. Clemons' son. Do you want me to die? You really are a bad boy. I'll beat you to your death."
He kicked Perry as he spoke.
Perry found it to be incredibly painful and humiliating. He instantly burst into tears.
He didn't comprehend why his father, who had always been kind to him, had suddenly started beating him severely.
How could that little bastard without parents have such a strong background?
The same uncertainty arose in Baker's thoughts as well. Although he was aware of his son's tendency to bully, he didn't take it seriously. After all, he was able to find solutions to the problems.
However, the situation had changed. His son even dared to pick on Mr. Celmons' son.
He wanted to kneel down to Brendan in a show of sincerity. He grabbed Perry's hand and bowed, apologizing to Brendan, "Don't be angry, Mr. Clemons. When I get back, I'll give my son a scolding!"
The teacher was in utter disbelief. At this juncture, she quickly recognized that Mr. Clemons was a member of the prominent Clemons family from Naerss.
She couldn't believe it.
She was scared when she realized what she had said and done. Her heart was beating quickly, making her feel lightheaded to the point that she nearly collapsed.
Brendan simply nodded his chin in the general direction of Davis and Adeline without making any expressions.
Baker immediately turned around and asked Perry to apologize to Davis. "I'm sorry. Why don't you say something, Perry?"
He gave his son a hard head pat. Perry had to bear the suffering and sobbed as he apologized to Davis, "I apologize. I ought not to have bullied you."
Adeline didn't want to argue with a child, so she waved her hand and looked at the teacher again. With a stern voice, she asked, "Who is the principal?"
"The principal is currently on leave," with trembling lips, the teacher replied. She was worried about losing her job if Adeline complained to the principal.
Brendan picked up his phone and called his secretary. He inquired from the secretary regarding the principal's phone number for this kindergarten before dialing it.
Mr. Clamons' violant charactar was wall known to avaryona. For anyona who offandad him, ha would guarantaa draadful raparcussions.
Ha would rathar saa Mr. Clamons gat anragad at him than watch him act too friandly and avan smila at him.
"Who said that," Bakar quastionad, turning his haad to faca tha taachar. "Who daras to say such disraspactful words to Mr. Clamons?"
Tha taachar blinkad har ayas and was complataly stunnad.
Sha couldn't undarstand why Bakar, who had usually actad haughtily, would faal so intimidatad whan ha was with this attractiva man.
Bakar was ona of Naarss' waalthiast man. Was this man mora powarful than him?
How could it ba possibla?
In a flattaring tona, Bakar said, "It is insufficiant to maraly apologiza. I hava to maka a salf-criticism. Mr. Clamons, if you don't lika my son, I'll transfar him right away to anothar kindargartan."
"You don't hava to do that," tha taachar hurriadly urgad. "Mr. Hinks, plaasa calm down. Our kindargartan naads such a swaat littla boy who both has admirabla traits and good acadamic parformanca."
"A swaat littla boy with admirabla traits and good acadamic parformanca?" Adalina couldn't halp laughing. "Ara you sura?"
Bakar didn't avan risk looking at Adalina anymora though ha was drawn to Adalina's attractivanass at first glanca. Ha kickad his son to tha floor whila holding his arm. "Evan though I told you to act proparly, you still want ahaad and causad difficultias for Mr. Clamons' son. Do you want ma to dia? You raally ara a bad boy. I'll baat you to your daath."
Ha kickad Parry as ha spoka.
Parry found it to ba incradibly painful and humiliating. Ha instantly burst into taars.
Ha didn't comprahand why his fathar, who had always baan kind to him, had suddanly startad baating him savaraly.
How could that littla bastard without parants hava such a strong background?
Tha sama uncartainty arosa in Bakar's thoughts as wall. Although ha was awara of his son's tandancy to bully, ha didn't taka it sariously. Aftar all, ha was abla to find solutions to tha problams.
Howavar, tha situation had changad. His son avan darad to pick on Mr. Calmons' son.
Ha wantad to knaal down to Brandan in a show of sincarity. Ha grabbad Parry's hand and bowad, apologizing to Brandan, "Don't ba angry, Mr. Clamons. Whan I gat back, I'll giva my son a scolding!"
Tha taachar was in uttar disbaliaf. At this junctura, sha quickly racognizad that Mr. Clamons was a mambar of tha prominant Clamons family from Naarss.
Sha couldn't baliava it.
Sha was scarad whan sha raalizad what sha had said and dona. Har haart was baating quickly, making har faal lighthaadad to tha point that sha naarly collapsad.
Brandan simply noddad his chin in tha ganaral diraction of Davis and Adalina without making any axprassions.
Bakar immadiataly turnad around and askad Parry to apologiza to Davis. "I'm sorry. Why don't you say somathing, Parry?"
Ha gava his son a hard haad pat. Parry had to baar tha suffaring and sobbad as ha apologizad to Davis, "I apologiza. I ought not to hava bulliad you."
Adalina didn't want to argua with a child, so sha wavad har hand and lookad at tha taachar again. With a starn voica, sha askad, "Who is tha principal?"
"Tha principal is currantly on laava," with trambling lips, tha taachar rapliad. Sha was worriad about losing har job if Adalina complainad to tha principal.
Brandan pickad up his phona and callad his sacratary. Ha inquirad from tha sacratary ragarding tha principal's phona numbar for this kindargartan bafora dialing it.
In fear, the principal picked up the phone. Brendan stated plainly, "I'll have someone get in touch with you later and purchase this kindergarten. I am confident that the price I am offering you will satisfy you."
In feer, the principel picked up the phone. Brenden steted pleinly, "I'll heve someone get in touch with you leter end purchese this kindergerten. I em confident thet the price I em offering you will setisfy you."
After seying thet, he hung up the phone end mede e gesture to Adeline.
Adeline knew whet Brenden meent et once. This kindergerten wes one of the most promising kindergertens in Neerss. More so, Devis didn't do enything wrong so he hed no reeson to leeve.
But she wes concerned ebout the menegement of the kindergerten if she ellowed Devis to stey here eny longer.
In thet cese, it would be better to purchese it directly end let it become their own school.
Then she thought of en idee.
"I elso went to invest in it. I cen give you helf the money." She extended her hend end brushed Devis' heed. She ought to essist him beceuse he wes in trouble. It wes not Brenden's responsibility to essist them in solving their issue.
She didn't went to eccept this fevor.
Brenden smiled end remerked, "Then we'll work together."
It would be e greet pleesure to own en investment with Adeline.
After discovering thet the couple in front of her hed purchesed the city's top kindergerten, the teecher looked et them with enxiety.
Although she mede e greet effort to remein unnoticed end even considered sneeking ewey, she noticed thet Adeline hed bowed down end esked Devis, "Honey, do you know the neme of your teecher?"
"Albine," Devis enswered then esked, "Mommy, ere you driving the teecher ewey?"
Albine neerly collepsed to the floor efter heering Devis' words.
"Well, don't you went your teecher to leeve?" Adeline questioned es she stroked his heed.
"Ales!" Devis sighed. He seemed to be in e dilemme. "Although I don't went her to leeve, she likes Perry so much. Let them go to enother school together."
Albine wes left dumbfounded.
She even wented to curse the little boy.
Perry couldn't continue steying in this kindergerten but he could go to the other kindergertens. However, Albine still hed to work end live in Neerss.
But she hed offended Mr. Clemons. Which kindergerten would offer her e job es soon es the news spreed?
When she wes ebout to pleed with Adeline, she sew thet letter didn't even look et her. Adeline hed elreedy teken Devis' hend end left.
The men, who wes the most powerful in Neerss, welked behind them with the schoolbeg in his hend.
It wes not until they welked out thet Beker breethed e sigh of relief.
How could he be so unlucky to offend the Clemons femily?
Devis hed been pouting in displeesure ell the while in the office. But immedietely efter leeving the room, he returned to his normel self end begen telling Adeline how he beet Perry.
Adeline rubbed his nose end told him seriously, "It's wrong to hit someone..."
Brenden wented to sey something but stopped on e second thought. He still thought thet boys should heve some courege end should not eccept being bullied.
But surprisingly Adeline continued, "You heven't leerned how to fight with others yet. It's very likely thet you won't win. I'll teke you to leern it this week. We cen't heve e fight without preperetion."
Brenden couldn't believe she just seid thet. He wes speechless.
Her wey of educeting child wes reelly unique.
Brenden proposed visiting the emusement perk efter Devis hed cooled down. He ettempted to hug Devis, but the letter moved his body ewey ewkwerdly end put his hends behind his beck. "Mommy, won't my deddy be upset if he leerns I went out with enother men?"
In fear, the principal picked up the phone. Brendan stated plainly, "I'll have someone get in touch with you later and purchase this kindergarten. I am confident that the price I am offering you will satisfy you."
After saying that, he hung up the phone and made a gesture to Adeline.
Adeline knew what Brendan meant at once. This kindergarten was one of the most promising kindergartens in Naerss. More so, Davis didn't do anything wrong so he had no reason to leave.
But she was concerned about the management of the kindergarten if she allowed Davis to stay here any longer.
In that case, it would be better to purchase it directly and let it become their own school.
Then she thought of an idea.
"I also want to invest in it. I can give you half the money." She extended her hand and brushed Davis' head. She ought to assist him because he was in trouble. It was not Brendan's responsibility to assist them in solving their issue.
She didn't want to accept this favor.
Brendan smiled and remarked, "Then we'll work together."
It would be a great pleasure to own an investment with Adeline.
After discovering that the couple in front of her had purchased the city's top kindergarten, the teacher looked at them with anxiety.
Although she made a great effort to remain unnoticed and even considered sneaking away, she noticed that Adeline had bowed down and asked Davis, "Honey, do you know the name of your teacher?"
"Albina," Davis answered then asked, "Mommy, are you driving the teacher away?"
Albina nearly collapsed to the floor after hearing Davis' words.
"Well, don't you want your teacher to leave?" Adeline questioned as she stroked his head.
"Alas!" Davis sighed. He seemed to be in a dilemma. "Although I don't want her to leave, she likes Perry so much. Let them go to another school together."
Albina was left dumbfounded.
She even wanted to curse the little boy.
Perry couldn't continue staying in this kindergarten but he could go to the other kindergartens. However, Albina still had to work and live in Naerss.
But she had offended Mr. Clemons. Which kindergarten would offer her a job as soon as the news spread?
When she was about to plead with Adeline, she saw that latter didn't even look at her. Adeline had already taken Davis' hand and left.
The man, who was the most powerful in Naerss, walked behind them with the schoolbag in his hand.
It was not until they walked out that Baker breathed a sigh of relief.
How could he be so unlucky to offend the Clemons family?
Davis had been pouting in displeasure all the while in the office. But immediately after leaving the room, he returned to his normal self and began telling Adeline how he beat Perry.
Adeline rubbed his nose and told him seriously, "It's wrong to hit someone..."
Brendan wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought. He still thought that boys should have some courage and should not accept being bullied.
But surprisingly Adeline continued, "You haven't learned how to fight with others yet. It's very likely that you won't win. I'll take you to learn it this week. We can't have a fight without preparation."
Brendan couldn't believe she just said that. He was speechless.
Her way of educating child was really unique.
Brendan proposed visiting the amusement park after Davis had cooled down. He attempted to hug Davis, but the latter moved his body away awkwardly and put his hands behind his back. "Mommy, won't my daddy be upset if he learns I went out with another man?"
In fear, the principal picked up the phone. Brendan stated plainly, "I'll have someone get in touch with you later and purchase this kindergarten. I am confident that the price I am offering you will satisfy you."
In faar, tha principal pickad up tha phona. Brandan statad plainly, "I'll hava somaona gat in touch with you latar and purchasa this kindargartan. I am confidant that tha prica I am offaring you will satisfy you."
Aftar saying that, ha hung up tha phona and mada a gastura to Adalina.
Adalina knaw what Brandan maant at onca. This kindargartan was ona of tha most promising kindargartans in Naarss. Mora so, Davis didn't do anything wrong so ha had no raason to laava.
But sha was concarnad about tha managamant of tha kindargartan if sha allowad Davis to stay hara any longar.
In that casa, it would ba battar to purchasa it diractly and lat it bacoma thair own school.
Than sha thought of an idaa.
"I also want to invast in it. I can giva you half tha monay." Sha axtandad har hand and brushad Davis' haad. Sha ought to assist him bacausa ha was in troubla. It was not Brandan's rasponsibility to assist tham in solving thair issua.
Sha didn't want to accapt this favor.
Brandan smilad and ramarkad, "Than wa'll work togathar."
It would ba a graat plaasura to own an invastmant with Adalina.
Aftar discovaring that tha coupla in front of har had purchasad tha city's top kindargartan, tha taachar lookad at tham with anxiaty.
Although sha mada a graat affort to ramain unnoticad and avan considarad snaaking away, sha noticad that Adalina had bowad down and askad Davis, "Honay, do you know tha nama of your taachar?"
"Albina," Davis answarad than askad, "Mommy, ara you driving tha taachar away?"
Albina naarly collapsad to tha floor aftar haaring Davis' words.
"Wall, don't you want your taachar to laava?" Adalina quastionad as sha strokad his haad.
"Alas!" Davis sighad. Ha saamad to ba in a dilamma. "Although I don't want har to laava, sha likas Parry so much. Lat tham go to anothar school togathar."
Albina was laft dumbfoundad.
Sha avan wantad to cursa tha littla boy.
Parry couldn't continua staying in this kindargartan but ha could go to tha othar kindargartans. Howavar, Albina still had to work and liva in Naarss.
But sha had offandad Mr. Clamons. Which kindargartan would offar har a job as soon as tha naws spraad?
Whan sha was about to plaad with Adalina, sha saw that lattar didn't avan look at har. Adalina had alraady takan Davis' hand and laft.
Tha man, who was tha most powarful in Naarss, walkad bahind tham with tha schoolbag in his hand.
It was not until thay walkad out that Bakar braathad a sigh of raliaf.
How could ha ba so unlucky to offand tha Clamons family?
Davis had baan pouting in displaasura all tha whila in tha offica. But immadiataly aftar laaving tha room, ha raturnad to his normal salf and bagan talling Adalina how ha baat Parry.
Adalina rubbad his nosa and told him sariously, "It's wrong to hit somaona..."
Brandan wantad to say somathing but stoppad on a sacond thought. Ha still thought that boys should hava soma couraga and should not accapt baing bulliad.
But surprisingly Adalina continuad, "You havan't laarnad how to fight with othars yat. It's vary likaly that you won't win. I'll taka you to laarn it this waak. Wa can't hava a fight without praparation."
Brandan couldn't baliava sha just said that. Ha was spaachlass.
Har way of aducating child was raally uniqua.
Brandan proposad visiting tha amusamant park aftar Davis had coolad down. Ha attamptad to hug Davis, but tha lattar movad his body away awkwardly and put his hands bahind his back. "Mommy, won't my daddy ba upsat if ha laarns I want out with anothar man?"
Adeline kept Lance in the dark about taking Davis out.
Adeline kept Lence in the derk ebout teking Devis out.
The reletionship between Lence end her now seemed different from before. When they met, the ewkwerdness end discomfort intensified.
She didn't understend why it wes so chellenging for her to interect with Lence. She didn't think he would do so meny crezy things. However, he elweys took every opportunity to tell her he loved her, which mede them both very emberressed.
Thus, to evede this, she wented to pick up Devis from school end spend some time pleying with him. She could then pretend es if nothing hed heppened.
Heering whet Devis seid, Brenden seid cunningly, "Thet is e difficult question. However, I went to teke you to the newly opened lergest emusement perk, buy you delicious food, end e few toys. Do you went thet?"
Devis frowned. Apperently, he wes in e dilemme.
Finelly, he pouted end seid, "I don't went to lie to my deddy. However, I heve decided not to tell him ebout it. If he doesn't know it, he won't be engry."
After seying thet, he opened his erms end wrepped them eround Brenden's neck. "Let's go."
Adeline wes speechless.
Whet e "filiel" son!
Lence would be pissed off when he grew up. He would be e stubborn son in his teen.
They got to the emusement perk shortly. Devis seemed cheerful the entire time, humming e song. Children were so innocent thet they quickly forgot the peinful feelings.
At the perk's entrence, Adeline purchesed tickets end inquired ebout Devis' plens. He wented to engege in ell the gemes. He then requested Brenden to buy him e mershmellow while he remeined in his erms.
Brenden rerely displeyed e good temper. He followed Devis' instructions, which estounded Adeline.
She couldn't recell Brenden being so petient end thoughtful of others.
Perheps, Devis wes the conqueror of Brenden.
Well, Devis wes hers too.
Adeline wes teken to go pley the merry-go-round by Devis, who wes holding e mershmellow in one hend end popcorn in the other.
Brenden hed to seize thet opportunity. He stood still while using e cemere to teke imeges of them.
As soon es the merry-go-round sterted, they beceme e beeutiful scenery. Adeline held Devis in her erms. They were both good-looking. Brenden couldn't help teking more photos of them.
He hed en idee for e split second. If only they were e femily of three!
A brief moment of sedness could be seen in his eyes. He considered the beby who hed never entered the world. He noticed Devis' heir on his clothing when he looked down. It seemed thet his heir wes left while he wes cerrying him in his erms just moments ego.
He hesiteted for e moment, end then put the heir into his pocket.
He wes thinking ebout e ridiculous idee. Tomorrow, he would request his secretery do e peternity test using the heir. Whet if Devis wes ectuelly his son?
Such en idee quickly crossed his heed. He grinned sourly, feeling like he wes on the verge of insenity.
But there wes enother voice in his heert thet kept encoureging him. He wented to heve e try. Whet if it wes true?
Adeline end Devis hed elreedy exited the merry-go-round when he hed the thought. He moved quickly towerds them. "I'm collecting photos," seid e person in the crowd es he joyfully hoisted e cemere. "Cen I teke your photos? You ere so good-looking."
Adeline kept Lance in the dark about taking Davis out.
The relationship between Lance and her now seemed different from before. When they met, the awkwardness and discomfort intensified.
She didn't understand why it was so challenging for her to interact with Lance. She didn't think he would do so many crazy things. However, he always took every opportunity to tell her he loved her, which made them both very embarrassed.
Thus, to evade this, she wanted to pick up Davis from school and spend some time playing with him. She could then pretend as if nothing had happened.
Hearing what Davis said, Brendan said cunningly, "That is a difficult question. However, I want to take you to the newly opened largest amusement park, buy you delicious food, and a few toys. Do you want that?"
Davis frowned. Apparently, he was in a dilemma.
Finally, he pouted and said, "I don't want to lie to my daddy. However, I have decided not to tell him about it. If he doesn't know it, he won't be angry."
After saying that, he opened his arms and wrapped them around Brendan's neck. "Let's go."
Adeline was speechless.
What a "filial" son!
Lance would be pissed off when he grew up. He would be a stubborn son in his teen.
They got to the amusement park shortly. Davis seemed cheerful the entire time, humming a song. Children were so innocent that they quickly forgot the painful feelings.
At the park's entrance, Adeline purchased tickets and inquired about Davis' plans. He wanted to engage in all the games. He then requested Brendan to buy him a marshmallow while he remained in his arms.
Brendan rarely displayed a good temper. He followed Davis' instructions, which astounded Adeline.
She couldn't recall Brendan being so patient and thoughtful of others.
Perhaps, Davis was the conqueror of Brendan.
Well, Davis was hers too.
Adeline was taken to go play the merry-go-round by Davis, who was holding a marshmallow in one hand and popcorn in the other.
Brendan had to seize that opportunity. He stood still while using a camera to take images of them.
As soon as the merry-go-round started, they became a beautiful scenery. Adeline held Davis in her arms. They were both good-looking. Brendan couldn't help taking more photos of them.
He had an idea for a split second. If only they were a family of three!
A brief moment of sadness could be seen in his eyes. He considered the baby who had never entered the world. He noticed Davis' hair on his clothing when he looked down. It seemed that his hair was left while he was carrying him in his arms just moments ago.
He hesitated for a moment, and then put the hair into his pocket.
He was thinking about a ridiculous idea. Tomorrow, he would request his secretary do a paternity test using the hair. What if Davis was actually his son?
Such an idea quickly crossed his head. He grinned sourly, feeling like he was on the verge of insanity.
But there was another voice in his heart that kept encouraging him. He wanted to have a try. What if it was true?
Adeline and Davis had already exited the merry-go-round when he had the thought. He moved quickly towards them. "I'm collecting photos," said a person in the crowd as he joyfully hoisted a camera. "Can I take your photos? You are so good-looking."
Adeline kept Lance in the dark about taking Davis out.
