“Brendon, go to Boulderland Mansion now. I’m going to pick up Ayaan,” Ranita said.
Brendon was also furious and drove to Boulderland Mansion with a dark expression on his face.
Inside Boulderland Mansion.
Amiya had been watching Ayaan for a long time. Ayaan’s appearance resembled Brendon when he was young, and no one could forcefully deny that he was Brendon’s child.
“Madam, the child refuses to sleep. What should we do?” Addyson seemed a bit at a loss.
Ayaan, who was over three years old, stared with his big eyes and asked, “Grandma, it’s getting dark. I want to go home.”
“From now on, this will be your home!” Amiya’s emotions toward Ayaan were complicated because he was Ranita’s child, and she didn’t like that. But he was also a member of the Stuart family, and she couldn’t reject him.
“When your father comes back, you will live with him. And also, your new mother will come soon. You can have her accompany you to rest,” Amiya said with a pause.
“I don’t want a new mother! I have a mother,” Ayaan shook his head.
Just then, Shannon arrived. She looked at the little figure on the sofa and flashed a bright and sweet smile. “Is this Ayaan?”
“Ayaan, hello!” Shannon greeted.
Perhaps due to their blood connection, Ayaan looked at Shannon without saying a word. The little one didn’t like the woman in front of him.
Shannon smiled until her face stiffened, but Ayaan still ignored her. She awkwardly asked, “Ayaan, do you know that this is your father’s home?”
“I know,” Ayaan replied calmly. “Who are you?”
“Ayaan, don’t be so rude! She is your father’s new wife, which means she’s your new mother,” Amiya sternly stared at Ayaan, her expression intimidating. “Ayaan, you should call Shannon ‘Mom.'”
Ayaan didn’t want a new mother!
He pouted and remained silent.
“Ayaan! Speak up! If you’re this disrespectful, you’ll be punished!” After a pause, Amiya criticized, “Ayaan is such a messy name. I’ll find an expert to give him a new name.”
“Don’t be upset. Ayaan just came here and is not familiar with us yet. He will warm up to us in time,” Shannon said softly and sat beside Ayaan, wanting to reach out and pinch his cheek.
But Ayaan dodged, and his black eyes looked cute but had no effect whatsoever.
Shannon felt somewhat relieved. After all, he was just a little child of three years old with a bad memory. If Brendon really decided to stay, she wouldn’t have trouble taking care of him.
With time, the child would forget who his biological mother was.
“Ayaan, it’s getting late. Shall I take you to rest? Do you want to hear a story? I can tell you a story,” Shannon softened her attitude. However, Ayaan shook his head.
“I don’t want to hear a story. I want to go home,” Ayaan said.
“I told you, this is your home,” Amiya became impatient. “If you say it again…”
“Please don’t rush him. He’s just a young child who doesn’t understand things yet. We need to take it slow,” Shannon said, reaching out to pick up Ayaan.
Shannon had sprayed rose-scented perfume on herself, and as Ayaan faced her, he sneezed.
He sprayed a lot of saliva all over Shannon’s face.
It was truly a lot of saliva that made Shannon’s anger surge!
“You…” Shannon almost couldn’t maintain her composure. “Ayaan, didn’t anyone teach you that you shouldn’t sneeze at people?”
Ayaan blinked his eyes and pouted with a look of grievance. “My mom taught me! But I couldn’t hold it just now. I’m sorry.”
When it came to acting pitiful, Ayaan had a lot of experience.
