Chapter 28: Bryan Investigated into the Children’s Father
The DW Scenic Area was revisited and refurbished after Bryan had taken power in the company.
There were several scenic tourist spots inside that region which were emphasized and expanded to
house a few entertainment hubs.
The playground designed for kids in that area was one of those entertainment hubs.
The two children reached there and Bryan led them to have fun in the water park.
At the same time, Jordan had informed him about the fact that Shirley had discovered that her two
children were “missing”, and she was now on the way.
However, it was going to take two hours for her to reach here from the hospital, and he would have
ample time to accompany the children to have fun.
As he watched them having so much fun, there was even a moment when Bryan mistakenly thought
that those were his children. When he realized that it was just his delusion, he would feel an
unbearable rage burning from within.
How could there be such an irresponsible man in the world? After getting a woman pregnant, he had
left them behind. To top it off, he had abandoned a pair of twin brother and sister.
He could be labelled a failure of society.
All of this aroused even more of Bryan’s curiosity as to who the father of those children was.
He lowered his gaze at the two little children playing on a pink cruise, “Emma, Jacob, can you tell me
who is your father?”
Seeing that he would never get an answer from that woman, he would be better off prying the answer
from these children.
But when such a thought occupied his mind, he was feeling astonished by his own reaction.
What the hell was he doing?
That woman’s affair had nothing to do with him.
Emma and Jacob exchanged a glance and winked simultaneously, and then Bryan suddenly heard
Emma crying.
He came back to his senses and asked with a frown, “What’s the matter?”
Emma was crying even more profusely.
Jacob drooped his head and his handsome face now had a shade of sadness. He said with his childish
voice, “Mummy told us that before we were born, daddy had left us to be together with a bad woman.
They had gone to another country to live. Mummy never told us about his identity. We want to know
who daddy is, and I want to ask him the reason he was blindsided and why he elope with another
woman.”
When he finished his words, Emma chipped in with her occasional sobs, “Mummy is really unfortunate.
After getting stabbed by that woman, she almost died.”
Bryan’s face darkened as some veins near his temples jumped uncontrollably.
So there was something as outrageous as that!”
“Sir, now that mummy is working for you, can you treat her nicer?” Jacob suddenly turned around and
looked at him with watery eyes. He was begging Bryan.
Then, he lifted his hand to wipe off some tears.
Emma’s lips trembled before she broke into yet another episode of crying. She was crying even louder
now.
Bryan furrowed his brows as this was his first time taking care of children. He had no knowledge as to
how to console them. Seeing that Emma was really crying very terribly, he decided to hug her and
caressed her back. He cooed, “Don’t cry now, I won’t ask you again.”
“Then, sir, can you be nicer to mummy? When mummy accepted you as her patient, she worked very
hard to gather your data. Ever since coming home yesterday afternoon, she had been coming up with a
plan to treat you in her room.” Emma’s body would jerk up from time to time, and her voice cracked as
she tried to finish her sentence.
Jacob was lowering his head and couldn’t stop wiping at his eyes, “Mummy can’t be too tired. Her heart
is no good.”
When Bryan heard the last part of that sentence, his heart suddenly increased in pace. He suddenly
recalled the sight of Shirley collapsing when he was discharged from the hospital.
“It is all because of that woman stabbing mummy.” When Emma mentioned this again, her crying
became more profound.
Bryan hugged them even closer while he tried to free one of his hands to grab the float, “You don’t
have to cry. Whoever bullies you in the future, you just need to look for me.”
“Then, promise me first that you will be nicer to mummy and not let her overwork. Can you do that?”
Jacob was staring at him with teary eyes.
At that moment, Bryan felt like he had gone all soft. He nodded subconsciously, “Let’s go to the kid’s
restaurant to eat something sweet.”
Sweet stuff could brighten the mood, and he thought that kids would love those foods.
Emma was indeed tempted, but she still had to put up her façade of sadness so that daddy could
continue consoling her. Of course, she enjoyed getting comforted by daddy like this.
On the other hand, Shirley spent almost two hours before she finally reached DW Scenic Area. When
she entered the kid’s restaurant, her face was completely pale3.
Her daughter was sitting on Bryan’s thigh, and the two of them were gazing at each other with a smile.
Their smiles were full of joy and happiness, which was almost too scary for her to behold.
She couldn’t even entertain the possibility that Bryan had started to suspect the origin of those children
and relate them to himself. She just rushed into the restaurant without thinking.
She howled angrily at Bryan, “Bryan.”
Bryan and the two children both turned around at the same time.
Emma who was sitting on Bryan’s thigh slid down and ran towards Shirley. She spread her arms in an
adorable fashion, “Mummy, I want a hug.”
The little kid was strutting towards her and Shirley recalled that she had never lost her temper in front
of the kids. If they had done something wrong, she would just sternly reprimand them. Therefore, when
she saw Emma running towards her, she could only try to ease the fury on her face.
When the little kid almost reached her, she squatted down and welcomed her into her embrace.
She looked up to check Jacob and found that on that table they were sitting next to, there were
packaging of snacks and drinks littered all over it. At a glance, she could see that there were five or six
packaging of ice cream.
Shirley immediately had a drastic change of expression as she marched forward with Emma in her
arms. She couldn’t hold back, “These were all finished by them?”
Bryan knitted his brows and with a deadpan face, he glanced at all the packaging on the table and
answered, “These are all owned by the Moore Company. We don’t spend any money on them.”
When Shirley heard this, it only fuelled the anger in her heart. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
She was always careful when it came to her children’s diet, which was a contrast considering that he
had fed them so many “toxic” foods.
She widened her eyes and roared viciously, “As you allowed them to eat all these nonsense even
though you don’t spend any money on them, but do you know these junk foods are unhealthy for
children? Wait, why are my children with you? What are you scheming?”
Bryan had an unpleasant expression as he stood up with a chilling aura surrounding him.
His huge figure loomed over her, which caused Shirley to take a step back in fear, as if a mortal enemy
had appeared.
“What are you doing?”
“Mummy, he didn’t take us away. I told brother that I was missing daddy, and Jacob told me that there
is someone who looks like him, so I urged him to help look for daddy. He knows that mummy is his
psychologist, so he agreed to bring us out to have fun while waiting for mummy to bring us back.”
Emma’s eyes once again turned red, and she looked wronged. There were traces of sobs in her voice,
“Mummy, I’m sorry. I’m wrong!”
Shirley felt something tugging at her heart as she lowered her gaze at this tiny child in her embrace. An
overwhelming sense of remorse immediately consumed her…
