Bryan patted Jacobâs back while walking down the aisle. Everyone was looking in his direction, and they didnât bother to have their food on the table.
At the aisle, there were only a handsome man in the black shirt and a charming five-year-old boy resting on his shoulder. His expression was gentle, with a sense of worry, focussing and patting the childâs back.
It made all the unmarried women change their minds about men being most attractive when working. And it was the most attractive for a man babysitting a child.
The scary thing was that the man who held half of Asiaâs economic lifeline would humble himself to be with a child he didnât give birth to.
It was indeed an outpouring of love.
Some even said that she wanted to give birth for Mr. Moore!
Just that some even surprisingly found out that the child Bryan was holding bore a striking resemblance to him.
After a while, Jacobâs coughing stopped, but Bryan was still patting his back gently, âBe careful next time.â
Jacob wrapped his arms around Bryanâs neck and whispered in his ear, âDaddy, take me to a place where the two of us can talk in private. Iâll tell you something big.â
After hearing Jacobâs voice was clear up, Bryanâs knitted brows became smooth. He looked around, seeing that Shirley hadnât returned yet, and he led Jacob to the third floor.
The third floor was the top floor. The Phoenix Restaurant was well-known for the greenery planted on the top floor and a gold phoenix, which it got its name from.
Bryan went up to the third floor, and the kid pointed at the door, saying, âClose the door.â
Seeing Jacobâs mysterious look, Bryan just did as he was told. He locked the entrance, shutting the door bolt. Bryan then found a chair and sat down.
He didnât want to let the little one sat on another chair, so he placed Jacob on his lap instead, with one hand holding his back and the other on his waist, holding tightly.
âGood boy, what do you want to tell daddy?â
Jacob was stunned when he heard Bryan calling him a good boy, and he was on cloud nine. He tilted his head and blinked at Bryan, âDaddy, if you call me a good boy again, Iâll tell you!â
Bryan puffed as his palm rested on Jacobâs head, âGood boy, tell me, whatâs the matter. Just now, you and Emma ran so fast. Did someone bully you guys? Tell daddy. Daddy will help you out.â
He had always been keeping an eye on the two kids. The two of them were initially holding hands as they went to the bathroom, but they came out rushing as if someone was chasing them, and they looked weird too.
Something must have happened in the toilet.
Jacob suddenly scrunched up his face, saying, âItâs not us being bullied. Itâs mommy. No, to be precise, itâs not really that mommy being bullied. Itâs Aunt Amelia.â
Amelia!
Bryan turned gloomy for a moment, and he did not even have any good impression of Amelia. She dared to call his children bastards at the entrance of Phoenix Restaurant, and later on at the dinner gathering, she even repeatedly confronted the childrenâs mother with tit for tat.
âWhat did she do to your mommy?â Bryan asked with a shudder of cold in his eyes.
Jacob raised his hand and crooked his finger at him, âLower your head, and Iâll tell you.â
âAlright.â Bryan bent down and put his ear close to Jacobâs face.
Jacob then attached his mouth to Bryanâs face and told him what he had just heard outside, word for word.
After listening, Bryan slowly raised his head, saying, âIt seems that woman has a history with your mommy. Why did your mommy make the condition that she apologize to you guys? Did she do something to hurt you and your sister?â
Bryan had speculated something wrong from Jacobâs words. From what he knew about Shirley, she wouldnât have just bitten someoneâs head off if she hadnât been bullied too harshly. As far as he knew, the two kids were her life and could even be said to be more important than her life.
What Amelia had done was obviously childish, but Shirley had accepted her silly challenge too. So that proved that Amelia had always been bullying Shirley and her children all those years.
Jacob opened his arms and held Bryanâs waist, saying, âSo, daddy, you must not replace my mommy and must not hire Aunt Amelia as your psychiatrist too. Otherwise, mommy, Emma, and I will be doomed.â
âTell daddy how Amelia hurt you and Emma.â
âI donât want to say.â Jacob suddenly stiffened his body and held his arms tightly around Bryanâs waist, not wanting to recall that incident back then.
You're The Best Medicine For Me ï¤Chapter 79: The Betting Between Amelia and Shirley Seeing Jacob being like this, he must have been hurt quite badly, and it might have cast a shadow on him. Otherwise, he wouldnât have run away from it. Just like Bryan did back then, he had also never come out of it because of being hurt by his close ones.
But he didnât want his son to be like him.
Some problems need to be faced eventually, or else they would never be unravelled for the rest of his life.
Bryan carried Jacob, letting him rest on his shoulder with his arm around his neck, and said, âJacob, donât be afraid. You not only just have your mommy but daddy here too now. Daddy can do anything that your mommy canât do, and daddy can protect you and Emma. Can you tell daddy?â
Jacobâs eyes were filled with tears, and his arm around Bryanâs neck wrapped tighter.
âDaddy, will you abandon my mommy one day?â Jacob didnât know why he would suddenly ask this. Bryan obviously had not much intercourse with his mommy, and they were not even a couple or lovers. But when he recalled what happened three years ago, he was upset. It was as if Bryan had really abandoned them once.
Bryanâs heart ached for a moment. He stood up carrying the kid, looking at the beautiful night sky, and said, âAs long as your mommy is willing, your mommy and I, along with Emma and you, will always be together.â
âThen go after my mommy, please her and spoil her.â Jacobâs eyes lit up as he straightened up, staring at Bryan, âIf you donât work any harder, Daddy Mitchell will be chasing my mommy then. He seems different to my mommy this time coming back.â
Bryan tensed up, and he thought that Kevin was profound by the way they talked just now.
Kevinâs first impression was that he was such a refined person, but in some ways, he made Bryan felt uncomfortable. This man was far from being as simple as he seemed.
It would be good if Kevin had no other thoughts about Shirley, but he would be a ticking time bomb if he had other intentions for Shirley.
But what distressed Bryan was that Shirley seemed to trust Kevin so much...
âYour mommy seems to have a good relationship with him and trusts him a lot!â
