Holly was probably genuinely infuriated.
Ranita scowled and was about to give her the finger, when she saw Ayaan rubbing his eyes, soft and floppy, calling out, “Dad, are we at your house?”
“Yes! This is Dad’s house,” Brendon patiently replied, glanced at Holly, and continued, “If you don’t want to deal with her, then don’t talk to her in the future.”
Ayaan was still a bit confused.
“Isn’t she my aunt?” Ayaan asked innocently, “Mommy said I should be polite.”
With that, Ayaan gave Holly a sweet smile and said, “Hello, Auntie.”
Holly was not pleased at all.
Ayaan calling her aunt made her whole body feel like it was covered in goosebumps. This smelly brat was nowhere near cute. He was obviously a little troublemaker.
He would even act pitiful and innocent.
“Humph! Who’s your aunt? Don’t call me…”
Holly ground her teeth, looking extremely annoyed. “Brendon, you didn’t bring them back here to live, did you?”
When she said that, Holly started to get anxious.
Ranita was bringing her son into the house. Could they still leave? Ranita was definitely not going to leave, so what about Shannon?
“I can’t decide on behalf of the Stuart family,” Brendon coolly countered, leaving Holly momentarily speechless.
Brendon was the head of the Stuart family, and if he wanted, even she and Amiya couldn’t change that.
Otherwise, Holly wouldn’t be so worked up over their presence.
“Humph! This is my home too. I don’t like those two, I detest them, and I can’t promise I won’t do anything if you force me to let them stay here…”
Holly glared disdainfully at Ranita and Ayaan.
Ranita couldn’t be bothered to speak with her. She didn’t expect Ayaan to suddenly say, “Auntie, am I Dad’s little darling? Can’t I come to Dad’s house?”
Ayaan was really good at this. As he spoke, he pouted and looked at Brendon with big teary eyes, complaining, “Dad, Ayaan is so sad.”
Brendon hugged Ayaan and said very patiently, “Ayaan, this is Dad’s home. Of course, you’re welcome to come!”
“We’ll live in that house, not with her. You can rest assured!” Boulderland Mansion was a manor-style residence with several houses inside. The central one was where Brendon lived.
“Really? Auntie won’t bully me, right? I’m scared!”
Holly couldn’t hold back anymore and snapped, “Ayaan, you little brat, at such a young age, you’re pretending to be innocent? How shameless of you…”
Before she could finish her sentence, a heavy slap fell.
Holly couldn’t believe her eyes as she looked at Brendon. “Brother, did you hit me?”
Amiya had spoiled Holly rotten. She was arrogant and brainless, but Brendon usually turned a blind eye to it. Now, he actually hit her.
Holly’s mind was about to explode into ashes.
“Brother, you hit me for this bastard? I’m your sister…”
Brendon’s voice was icy and full of anger. He said, “Holly! Is that something you should say to a child?”
“I…” Holly was furious from being hit, and her resentment towards Ayaan deepened. Who knew Ayaan would still innocently smile at her?
“You’re still smiling. You dare to smile…” Holly exploded with anger, but couldn’t bring herself to say what she wanted.
“Wait and see!” Holly turned around in anger, but unexpectedly, Ayaan gestured at Brendon with his fingers crossed and said, “Dad, just now Auntie made this gesture to me and Mommy. What does it mean?”
Instantly, Brendon’s face darkened.
