Chapter 26
"What about daddy? Will he come home with us?" Zephaniah asked as he pouted. The little kid's expression was pitiful.
Vivianna glared at the handsome and authoritative man in front of her with resentment. However, she didn't want to act like a difficult woman in front of her son. She pursed her lips, smiled, and coaxed her son, saying, "He is very busy. He manages such a big company. He doesn't have the time to come home with us."
"Mommy, don't worry. I've checked him out. Daddy is the richest man on earth, and he is capable of anything. No one will dare to bully you again in the future," The little guy said with a bright smile.
Vivianna was speechless.
"Son, can you leave us for a minute and play with Miss Yallop first? Daddy wants to talk with your mommy." Augustine said this gently. He intended to send the little guy away for a moment.
After all, the following topic was not appropriate for his ears.
The little guy was smart and discerning. It seemed that daddy and mommy were going to talk about love, so he, the little third wheel, had to leave as soon as possible!
"Well, daddy, mommy, don't quarrel! Both of you need to love each other, okay?" The little guy came down from his father's arms and said this.
Both of the two adults froze for a few seconds, and the little guy pranced out. At the door, Yazlynn spotted Zephaniah exiting the room. She knew that the president had to settle some matters. She quickly took the little guy to her office and brought some toys for him to play with.
As soon as the little guy left, the atmosphere immediately became tense, depressing, dangerous, and even oppressive.
Vivianna clenched her fists involuntarily and raised her head. Looking at the terrifying and threatening man in front of her, she tried to muster up the courage to speak to him. She said, "What do you want to talk about?"
Augustine was relaxed. He crossed his arms and looked at her in a condescending manner, as if he was an emperor on a pedestal speaking to his subjects. "Of course, we will be talking about our son." Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
"Zeph is not your son. He is my son. He belongs to me," Vivianna immediately retorted. Four years ago, this b*stard had slept with her. Now, he wanted to snatch her son from her. This was impossible.
Augustine sneered. "Then tell me, how did you give birth to a child alone? Four years ago, if not for my sperm, how could you have a son?"
Vivianna bristled with anger. Her pretty face was red, and she was completely infuriated. She was like a lioness that was provoked, and she wanted to kill him. She bellowed, "How dare you mention the events of four years ago, you b*stard, you hypocrite..."
Augustine's face fell instantly. He glared at her in an unrelenting manner and said, "Woman, please mind your words. I didn't forget what happened four years ago. Do you think I was the one who took the initiative? It was you obviously. You were a willing partner. If someone hadn't manipulated me, do you think I could have slept with someone like you?"
Vivianna was taken aback in an instant. "How could this man have his cake and eat it too?! How dare he feel disgusted with me? How could there be such a b*stard in the world?" She could not help thinking this to herself.
"You did it anyway!" Vivianna barked in fury.
Augustine was livid. He snorted coldly and said, "I don't want to investigate the events from four years ago, but my son will belong to me from now on."
Vivianna was boiling with anger again. She shouted without thinking, "Don't even think about it. I gave birth to my son. I brought him up. He's mine. You can't take him away from me."
"Do you think that we'll allow a mother like you to raise and educate a child of the Giltstone family?" Augustine just learned a lesson. This woman was wild and rude. She was not gracious with her words. Thinking back to the night four years ago, he felt his impression of her taking a turn for the worse. She had a casual one night stand with a man. Such a woman did not deserve to have his son.
"It has nothing to do with you. What's more, my son's surname is Carlewood. His name is Zephaniah Carlewood. He has nothing to do with you or the Giltstone family." Vivianna refused to compromise or yield to Augustine's demands.
