Their Bundle Of Joy

Chapter 26 - Aiden's Domineering Character

Early in the morning.

Daniel waited boringly for Isabel under the shady tree downstairs, for Isabel to send him to

kindergarten.

As soon as the child came down, he gazed around but did not see Aiden at all.

Forget about it, Aiden said that he would send him to kindergarten today when he was drinking

yesterday. He should not take the words of a drunk man too seriously.

He picked up a small pebble, kicked it to the curb and let it bounce back.

After all, that's how simple a child's world is, a pebble can turn out to be a world of fun.

A shadow appeared on the grass ahead of him, Daniel turned around and rushed back in excitement,

"Mummy, hurry up, or we'll be late."

However, the adult's lap Daniel jumped towards today seemed to be one size larger than the one he

usually hugged, "You..."

He raised his head to look up.

Aiden did not say anything, he just stared down at him quietly.

Daniel still felt the difference and realized it at once, "You're Aiden right?"

Adam was not as cold and indifferent as Aiden.

"Right, how long until your mummy comes down?" By the fact that the child had just hugged his thighs

and called out for Mummy, Aiden knew that the child must have been waiting for Isabel for so long.

"Almost here, almost. Uncle Howard, are you here to drop me off at Sage United School?" Initially

thinking that Aiden, who had been drinking last night, had forgotten all about it. However, he showed up

right on time, just in time to get to the kindergarten.

"Well, a promise is a promise."

"Yeah, going back on your word doesn’t make you a good boy."

"I'm an adult." Aiden corrected.

"Going back on your word doesn’t make you a good man." Daniel grinned, narrowing his eyes while

revising the statement.

Although he had grudges against Aiden, he was indeed his daddy. As it was best to just forgive and

forget, he reluctantly started a brief conversation with him.

"Hey, why are you missing a cufflink on your sleeve?" The child happened to stare right at Aiden’s

sleeve, so it was easy for him to realise that.

Aiden grinned, "It’s okay, I accidentally lost it. I'll just have someone to sew it back later."

He had an overnight video conference last night, he didn't even have time to change his clothes before

rushing here.

The child, still staring at his sleeve, felt that the cufflinks on his sleeves were familiar.

Out of the blue, the thoughts of mummy’s keyring having the same cufflink hit him.

Mummy had had that cufflink on her keyring since the day he could remember.

It seemed that Mummy really really liked Daddy.

So much that all of Daddy's things were treasured and brought everywhere she went for many years.

"Daniel, let's go, hurry up, or it will be too late." Isabel carried the trash as rushed out of the apartment

building, shouting as she ran.

At first glance, she was stunned when she saw Aiden in front of her, "Mr Howard, you..."

All of a sudden, Aiden felt pleasant, perhaps it was himself that she had called in her sleep last night.

This is because she called him Mr Howard too.

"Go throw out the trash and get in the car." Aiden's lips were slightly tangled, habitually giving Isabel

orders and at the same time, holding onto Daniel’s tiny hand as they walked towards his black

Maybach in style.

The polished Maybach stopped there like a wild horse, Daniel got in the car obediently.

Isabel, on the other hand, had thrown the trash away and was rushing over, "Mr Howard, do you really

want to send Daniel to Sage United School?" She thought that he was merely making empty promises

last night.

"Daniel said that children who go back on their words are bad children and adults who go back on their

words are not good men."

She would be a bad person if she rejected again.

For the first time, Isabel experienced the domineering character of Aiden.

No chance was given to turn him down at all.

Biting onto her lips, Isabel had no choice but to open the door and get into the car.

The car moved gently, Aiden was about to roll down the window when a man in a smoky grey casual

suit ran over.

"Isabel, I bought your favourite buns, remember to eat them with Daniel." It was Owen Read.

Aiden was about to speed up, but when he saw the man, his face darkened, "Do you want me to stop

the car?"

"No...no need." Isabel shook her head as she said to Owen who was chasing after her outside the car,

"Senior, I'm in a hurry, thank you, but I don’t want it."

"No, I bought it all, it can't be wasted, you bring it onto the car and eat it slowly." Owen quickened his

pace and eventually caught up.

The aromatic bun was passed into the car window, hastily stuffed into the hands of Isabel.

"Thanks, I'm leaving now."

Once Aiden set his foot stepped on the accelerator, the Maybach shot off like an arrow off the bow, as if

he couldn't wait to get rid of Owen completely.

Smelling the aroma of the buns all over the car, Daniel wanted to eat, "Mummy, I want to eat buns."

Isabel was just about to get a bun for Daniel when she heard Aiden say, " Sage United School provides

breakfast every day, so don't eat any outside food."

Isabel's hand stiffened, since the day she came back to T City, she bought this bun for breakfast every Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

morning, so much so that even Owen thought she loved this bun.

She put the bun down embarrassingly, "Okay, Daniel will eat at school."

"It's all your fault for getting up late," Daniel muttered to Isabel, causing him to have no breakfast but

buns every day.

This will make me so hungry.

"When that book is fully translated after a few days, mummy won't stay up late, okay?" Isabel pinched

the little brat's little nose. Even if Daniel wasn't born to Aiden but Adam, he would still be the apple of

her eyes.

She would just keep this matter deep down in her heart.

How miserable she was to fall in love with the elder brother but have the child of his younger brother,

and that she could never date the man she truly loved in this lifetime.

Thinking of this, Isabel slowly raised her head and peeked at the man in the driver's seat.

Comparatively, even if the two men looked exactly the same, she would still love Aiden.

It was exactly the same in her memories.

She was really stupid back then, how did she think of Adam as Aiden?

Thinking deep into her thoughts, a tiny hand tugged on her sleeve and a tiny mouth approached her

ear.

"Mummy, stop being a nymphomaniac, Uncle Howard is waiting for us to get off."

Isabel suddenly regained consciousness, only then did she realize that the Maybach had stopped, and

that Aiden had already gotten out of the car. He was already standing outside the car waiting for her

and Daniel to get off.

"Daniel, what happened?" Isabel blushed, she had just become a nymphomaniac for a second then,

gazing at Aiden, her mind drifted off to nowhere.

"Uncle Howard said he's hungry, he wants to have breakfast, so get off the car."

Only then did Isabel get out of the car hastily, glaring down at her watch, "Mr Howard, will he be late?"

At this point, if he left after breakfast, he would be late for school.

Being late on the first day, Isabel felt bad.

"No." Aiden entered the restaurant in front of him with big strides, and the text message he had just

sent to the principal of Sage United School had already got a reply.

Today, the whole school would start class an hour late.

Hence, if he said he wouldn't be late, then he wouldn't be late.
