Veronica nearly choked in anger with this little rascal’s words. She disliked the child more and more. In her heart, she vowed the moment she married to the house of Castellanos, she will sort this little devil out. When she give birth in the future, she will make sure her son would be the heir of the Castellanos.
Her eyes flashed, and Veronica tried her best to hide her contempt and give a gentle smile to the child. She moved closer to him.
But first, she needed to coax this child at the moment. Just a stupid thing, this would be easy.
She inched closer to the little one.
“But I want to be with you little guy~ How about this? I’ll give you a toy, anything you like.” Veronica tried to appease him, trying to lure Allen with gift.
But she underestimated the child. How could the child of the Castellanos lack of toys? She thinks all children is like her, even in adulthood, she is still greedy with material things.
But Allen is different.
“Allen don’t like toys. I don’t like you.” The child said directly.
Veronica gasped at his impudence. She had little patience with children like this and she immediately showed her disdain. Her expression became ugly as she glared at Allen.
“You!-“ Veronica reprimanded with wide eyes. Her expression was scary for the child and he immediately backed away.
Amanda, who was beside Allen, got a hold of him and looked at Veronica. She saw the other’s ugly expression and she immediately became dissatisfied.
“Veronica!” Amanda called in a stern voice.
Veronica was startled and it was then she realized she lost her composure. She looked up at Amanda and saw her strict expression. This was the first time the Madame of the Castellanos reprimanded her like this, and she quickly got nervous.
She bit her lips and looked down at Allen again. The little boy hid in his grandmother’s arm. Veronica once again tried to appease him.
“I’m sorry darling, Auntie didn’t mean it.” She tried to touch Allen but she immediately heard a cold voice beside her.
“That’s enough.” Damon’s warning tone directed at Veronica. He had been watching at the side all along, and he clearly saw the situation. He despised Veronica even more. Such a contemptuous woman, he couldn’t let her touch his son.
“Leave my son alone now. He doesn’t like you.” The man’s degrading words felt like a slap in Veronica’s face.
“I, I,” Veronica tried to look for words to say but she was choked with the situation.
Allen, who was hiding in his grandmother’s embrace suddenly brightened his eyes when he saw someone coming.
“Mommy!” The little child cheered when he saw Anya.
Anya was returning from the bathroom. As she headed towards their table, she was taken aback when she saw the new commers. It was Damon’s mother and… Veronica.
Anya then heard her son’s call and she smiled. But she was at a lost. The seats on the table were full. She was quite embarrassed and sad, it looks like she needs to leave now.
“Good afternoon, Madame.” She greeted Amanda. She glanced at Veronica, but she didn’t want to greet such a person.
She helplessly looked at the table and laid her eyes on Damon. She tried to smile and bid her goodbye.
“Uhm, it seems I need to leave now. Thank you for the meal, Damon. Uh, enjoy your day.” She said awkwardly to them.
Damon heard this and he immediately furrowed his brows.
“Why are you leaving? I invited you. Stay.” He said solemnly. He stood to gently hold her arms. He then whispered to her ears.
“You don’t need to leave. Are you going to forsake us?” He said to Anya. His tone had a hint of sulking.
Anya could only look helplessly at him. This man, he knew this wasn’t the reason. “But,” Bela whispered back and looked at the table.
Allen who had arisen from his grandmother’s arms heard Anya’s words and saw her still standing. He was greatly alarmed.
“Mommy! You leaving?! No!” He exclaimed poutingly.
Why would his mommy leave? He looked around and saw Veronica in Anya’s sit. The smart child thought maybe because of the outsider.
“Mommy! Stay! Sit beside Allen!” Allen tried to convince Anya and pointed at Veronica’s sit.
“Mommy’s seat! Mommy’s seat!” The child said these words to Veronica and even tried to push her to leave.
Veronica was speechless at this and she could only writhe in anger. She looked at Damon, but the man didn’t even paid her any mind. Her heart was very wronged.
She then looked at Amanda for help, but she was stunned when she saw her expressionless face.
Oh no. was Amanda dissatisfied with her too.
‘I can’t believe this is happening!” Veronica thought. She was actually being kicked out!
Her face fumed with anger and humiliation as she stood up angrily. She grabbed her bag and turned around to leave.
The playful and innocent child saw this and didn’t mind it. He was happy that the seat beside him was empty again.
“Mommy! Seat!” He patted the seat. He looked at Anya with pleading and clear eyes. How could Anya refuse this cute face?
Damon was also looking approvingly at his little man. He then whispered to Anya’s ears. “Come on.” He smiled gently at her and led her to the seat.
Anya could only sit back and smile at the father and son. She looked back at Amanda and smiled nervously at her.
“Let’s eat!” Only the innocent child was the ice breaker between the people in the table. He happily cheered to his family.
Veronica went out of the restaurant flushed in anger. She looked back and spat disdainly at the restaurant.
Those horrid people! How dare they treat her this way!
She remembered Amanda’s face and can’t help feel remorse and a bit of anger. Even Amanda was no longer siding with her?!
She needed to plan more to win her again! And she needed to break those couple apart no matter what!
Her mind turned as she grabbed for a taxy to leave. She doesn’t have a choice since she came here with Amanda.
Veronica was even more dissatisfied as she left there defeated and in an ugly taxi! Her eyes darkened and swore in her heart. She would get back at them soon, and that woman and even that child, she wouldn’t let them off!
