Chapter 18
Hearing this, Dwayne looked down at him. Thinking that Brenden was just an innocent kid, he ruffled Brenden’s hair and said, his voice softening. “Not at all. It’s not your fault. But I’m not your daddy. Call me Dwayne from now on.”
He could understand that Brenden needed fatherly love.
But, for some reason, he was a bit irked when Brenden called him “Daddy” in public.]
Sonia clenched her fists and lowered her head to hide the viciousness in her eyes.[]
Dwayne had never had any objections when Brenden had called him “Daddy” before.[]
Meanwhile, Brenden lowered his head and said dejectedly, “I see…“]]
After Alison left, Sonia said apologetically, “I’m so sorry, Dwayne. I didn’t know Ms. Greenwood would think you and me are… Sorry for the trouble Brenden and I have caused. If this is very serious, I think I should probably transfer Brenden to another kindergarten.”
Rubbing the bridge of his nose, Dwayne said, trying to be patient, “It’s fine. As long as it doesn’t happen again.“[]
Now that they had made it clear with Alison, he believed Alison wouldn’t make such a mistake again.[]
They got into the car.
Meanwhile, a person in the distance took a photo of them.]
Sitting at the home bar, Dorothy had a few drinks. She wasn’t that into alcohol and would fix herself some whiskey when she wasn’t busy.
She was stunned when she heard the door open.[]
Dwayne appeared in the entryway with his suit jacket draping over his elbow, his gray silk shirt adding a touch of refinement to his temperament.[]
He changed his shoes, looking at her. “You’ve been drinking?“[]
Coming back to her senses, she replied calmly, “Yeah, a bit.“[]
She then put down the glass and walked past him. The bright light illuminated her fair skin, and the redness and swelling were clearly visible.
He keenly noticed it at once. “What happened to your face?“]
She was stunned
Then she couldn’t help but let out a chuckle inwardly.
Since when was he concerned about her?]
Before she could answer, he pressed on. “Bryson did this to you?“]
