Holly was furious, her eyes burning red. This little devil dared to tattle again? Acting innocent at such a young age!
“Daddy? Is Aunt praising me?”
Holly flared up, “Who’s praising you…”
Brendon coldly glanced at Holly, then held Ayaan’s hand. “Ayaan, this gesture is impolite, don’t imitate it.”
“Oh… so that’s it!” Ayaan nodded obediently, innocently asking, “Then why can Aunt do it?”
“She shouldn’t either!” Brendon looked sternly at Holly. “Holly, it seems you need more etiquette classes.”
Upon hearing this, Holly immediately changed her tune, pitifully saying, “Brendon, I don’t want to take etiquette classes!”
“Those teachers are too strict, I don’t want to!” Brendon lifted his eyelids to look at her. “That’s not up to you.”
Holly became even more afraid. She quickly said, “Brendon, can I just apologize? I won’t do it again in the future!”
“Ayaan, I apologize to you. Don’t be mad at Aunt, okay?” Holly gritted her teeth, trying to play the victim, but lacking Shannon’s skill, she still seemed fierce.
Ayaan got scared and snuggled into Brendon’s arms, showing a hint of darkness in his eyes as he said, “Daddy, I’m scared.”
Ranita almost couldn’t hold back her laughter.
Previously, she wasn’t afraid when traveling from Steland to Kurima with Holly, so how could she be scared now? She’s too good at pretending!
But after all, he’s her own son, so she didn’t expose her.
“Holly, stop scaring Ayaan.” After a pause, Brendon said coldly, “Go back and stay there.”
“I don’t want to… I…” Holly continued to challenge Brendon’s bottom line, even Ranita felt a bit sympathetic towards her.
Brendon looked indifferently at Holly, who had to back off a bit and didn’t dare to say anything else.
Everything felt so familiar to Ranita after living here for a few years.
After putting things away, she instructed Ayaan, “Ayaan, Mommy has something to take care of today and might have to go out. You stay here obediently, okay?”
“Don’t go out of Boulderland Mansion with anyone except Daddy. If something happens, you can call me or Daddy on your phone watch.”
Ayaan smiled, “Mommy, don’t worry about me.”
“I’m so smart.”
What’s the use of being smart? He’s still a child, easily grabbed away with just a grab. Ranita didn’t want to dampen his spirits and patted his head, saying, “You’re still young. Mommy might not need to worry about you when you grow up.”
“And I’ll protect Mommy.”
Ayaan leaned over and whispered in Ranita’s ear, “Mommy, was it good that I told Daddy what happened just now?”
“I also overheard Daddy making calls to get many teachers to teach Aunt!”
Ayaan held his face, smiling mischievously.
Ranita pinched his cheek and smiled, saying, “You always come up with such bad ideas.”
“Stay here and don’t provoke Holly and Amiya, okay?” Ranita paused and said again, “Mommy will come pick you up after finishing things.”
After soothing Ayaan, Ranita saw Brendon’s not-so-good expression coming over and gestured with her eyes to talk outside.
“What’s wrong?” Ranita asked.
“You may not be able to go out temporarily. There are reporters outside.” Brendon pursed his lips. “I asked Caleb to handle it. Just wait a bit longer.”
Since Shannon fainted during the live broadcast, the internet has exploded. Especially her fans, they attacked Ranita like crazy and even started various reports against Steland Monolith Technology.
Ranita received a call from Jedidiah, “Jedidiah, is everything okay with the company?”
“There’s nothing for now. Don’t worry.”
