Brettley laughed lightly with Nellie in his arms, “We have all the time we want in the future, tonight we’ll accompany Nellie first. You should get some rest.”
Then, he turned, carrying the little girl in his arms.
Riding in her father’s arms, the little girl turned around and stuck her tongue out at Alice challengingly.
The woman glared at Nellie furiously, then turned and sat on the bed, stewing in anger.
Finally, she managed to approach Brettley, finally, she became the Mrs. Peterson that he loved with all his heart.
Then out of nowhere, two children, a boy and a girl appeared, and Bethan Peterson after plastic surgery.
She closed the door, took out her phone furiously and dialed a number.
“Hello, Mr. Walter. Make some arrangements for Bethan die in jail.”
Right then, a series of knocks sounded on the door. “We’ll talk later.”
She put down her phone and forced a smile onto her face, then opened the door, “Who is it?”
“Ms. Peterson, it’s me.”
Outside the door stood Neil in his pale-yellow pajamas. He cocked his head to the side, looking at her innocently, “I went to look for Daddy, Daddy said he’s accompanying Nellie tonight, so he asked me to come accompany you.”
Under the shine of the lights in the corridor, the little guy looked cute and innocent, like he would not even hurt a fly, she could not help but like him.
Alice hesitated for a while, but finally tilted her body to the side. “Come on in.”
The moment Neil entered the room, Alice shut the door.
The little guy wiped the smile off his face and sat down elegantly in a chair. “Ms. Peterson you do look exactly like my Mommy from her photos.”
Alice turned and sat on the bed, putting on a gentle front, and looked at Neil. “Of course, I’m your biological mother.”
“Yeah.”
Neil smiled and nodded faintly. “Since that’s the case, why not the four of us go and get a paternity test done tomorrow? We’ll ask Mr. Brettley Morrison to bring us, and get the test done on the spot.
Then, we can finally be together as a family. What do you think?”
The little guy’s words made the smile disappear from Alice’s face in an instant!
If they did a paternity test with Brettley, her trick would be exposed right away!
She narrowed her eyes. “What do you mean, kid? Are you still worried I ‘m not your biological mother?”
Neil changed into a more comfortable posture and looked at her. “You can only convince me and my sister with a paternity test. If the results show that you are indeed our biological Mommy, on the spot, we’ll change and call you our Mommy, what do you think?”
Alice stared at him for a while.
A moment later, she sneered, “Are you purposely trying to scare me off?”
The little guy was brilliant, suggesting a paternity test the moment he stepped in, going straight to the point.
He must be certain she was an imposter, that was why he was so bold.
“I’m here to strike a deal with you, Ms. Peterson.”
Neil yawned, his gaze light and uncaring. “The moment you came you sent my Mommy to prison, if we don’t obey what you say, I know you must have an inside man. I ‘m worried about Mommy’s safety and you’re worried we would expose you with a paternity test.”
Alice kept her eyes trained on Neil coldly.
“So, you want to use this to strike a deal with me?”
“Yeah. “
The little guy crossed his legs and looked directly at her. “We’ll each get what we want, otherwise if we have no choice, we will make Mr.
Brettley Morrison arrange for all of us to complete a maternity test. I think he will agree to me and my sister’s request.”
Alice narrowed her eyes at him, keeping them trained on Neil’s eyes.
The little guy met her eyes without an ounce of fear.
A long moment later, Alice laughed lightly, “Are you sure, you won’t expose me if I let Bethan go?”
“It’s not that I won’t expose you, I just won’t play the paternity test card.”
Neil barked out a laugh, “You won’t promise that you’ll never hurt our Mommy again, am I right? It’s just that we need to cooperate at this moment.”
Then, the little guy yawned. “I ‘m tired, I’ll give you another five minutes to consider.”
Alice gritted her teeth furiously.
He was Brettley’s son after all, so smart that he pissed her off.
A moment later, she narrowed her eyes. “I’m curious about something. Why didn’t Bethan expose her true identity as Bethan Peterson, but continued this charade under her current identity? If she wanted to return to Brettley’s side, wouldn’t it be faster if she exposed her identity as Bethan Peterson? Why was she hiding the truth?”
Neil narrowed his eyes.
If she found out, she would stir up a bucketload of trouble again. So the little guy pursed his lips and smiled. “Because we just want something from that idiot Morrison, we’ll leave once we have it.”
At dawn the next day, Brettley was awakened by Nellie who was lying in his arms.
The little girl poked her finger into his cheek. “
Daddy, why are you so handsome?”
Her childish ways drew a chuckle out of him. With sleep still in his eyes, he ruffled her hair softly. “
Isn’t it nice to have a handsome Daddy?”
“Of course, it is! “
Nellie smiled, her eyes slanting upwards into little crescents, and held his face, planting a kiss on his cheek. “You’1l1ook even better i f you can release Aunty Bethan.”
At the little girl’s mention of Bethan, Brettley’s gaze turned dark. He glanced at Nellie. “Do you want her to be released so badly?”
“Yeah! “
Nellie hugged his arm. “Since I could remember, she was the one who has been taking care of me, if she wasn’t nice to me, I wouldn’t appear in front of you, happy and healthy, am I right? She’s so nice to me, I can’t bear to see her suffer.”
He frowned. He saw with his own two eyes how nice Bethan was to Nellie. She was actually a kind woman. But, why did she do something like that all those years ago…
The little girl’s dark eyes were trained on Brettley. “
Daddy, can you let Aunty Bethan go?”
Sighing, he patted her head gently, “This isn’t something I can decide alone.”
Both him and Alice were the victims in this case. It was useless if he alone forgave Bethan because the one who was hurt the most was Alice.
“Then if Aunty Alice doesn’t want to take action anymore, will you stop too, Daddy?”
Nellie asked him, her big eyes looking at him expectantly.
Brettley remained quiet for a long while. A second later, he nodded. “If she doesn’t want to take action anymore, I won’t either.”
“You promised! “
With that, Nellie climbed out of bed, and flew into the bathroom to wash up.
Looking at the little girl’s retreating back, Brettley shook his head and followed her into the bathroom to wash his face.
When he carried Nellie downstairs for breakfast, Neil and Alice were already seated at the dining table.
“Good morning, Mr. Morrison.”
Sitting on his chair, Neil raised his arm in a lazy greeting.
Brettley set Nellie down into her chair and glared at him solemnly. “Call me Daddy.”
The little guy rolled his eyes. “Isn’t it enough for Nellie to call you Daddy?”
