Billionaire’s Runaway Bride

Chapter 16



Noticing the strong emotion in the man’s eyes, I can even guess what he is going to say next.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

I closed my eyes slightly to conceal all the emotions and interrupted them as if nothing had happened. “Well, Lundy doesn’t cry anymore. You should go back. I should go to work now.”

After saying that, I let go of the little guy in my arms, touched his head, and said softly, “go back with Daddy, and next time come to play with brother and sister.”

After getting my promise, the little boy smiled and nodded obediently. Then he turned around and walked to Penn.

Penn touched the little boy’s hair and said in a softer tone, “bye, auntie.”

Lundy raised her hand and waved at the two kids and me.

We waved our hands in response.

Finally, Penn nodded slightly to me and said, “I’ll take him back first.”

Without waiting for my response, he turned around and left with Lundy.

It was not until Penn’s car disappeared in my sight that I dragged the two kids into the villa again and squatted in front of them seriously.

The two kids looked at me obediently.

“Aviva, Cyrus, listen carefully. No matter who you meet in the future, you can’t tell anyone about our family, especially… You don’t have a father!” I have a headache at the thought of what happened just now.

If I hadn’t interrupted him in time, a smart man like Penn would have suspected me!

Aviva and Cyrus looked at me in confusion. “Why? We really don’t have a daddy!”

I have a worse headache.

I can’t tell these two kids because I’m afraid that their biological father will come to them?

After a long silence, I made up an excuse. “Because bad people like children without Daddy the most. They know that mommy may not be able to beat over them. What if they take you away?”

Hearing this, the two kids looked at each other and said, “Okay, Mommy.”

It was not until then that I breathed a sigh of relief. I stood up, took my bag and took them to the Research Institute.

Penn’s POV

After leaving Aimee’s house, although Lundy didn’t cry anymore, he was still angry. he pouted all the way and looked out of the window, as if I didn’t exist.

I always have no way to deal with him. Seeing this, I sighed in my heart and said in a deep voice, “are you still angry with daddy? I apologize to you. It was my fault before and I shouldn’t have stopped you from making friends. But no matter what happens in the future, you can’t run away from home from time to time. You should communicate with Daddy well.”

Lundy looked back at me and didn’t look out of the window. he just looked down at his little feet quietly.

A hint of helplessness flashed through my eyes. I raised my hand and touched the little guy’s hair. “From now on, if you have anything to say, you have to learn to speak it out. You can’t always write. Sometimes writing can’t accurately convey your emotions, and it’s also easy to make people misunderstand you.”

Lundy shook his head and shook off my hand from the top of his head. His face was full of displeasure, and he held the backpack with the notebook tightly.

Seeing my son’s expression, I frowned and said nothing.

Over the years, it was said that the little prince of the Carter family was a mute.

I have never explained it to anyone.

Lundy had never been dumb. he even spoke much earlier than other children.

But later, he suffered from autism. Gradually, she was not willing to speak. More often, he used paper and pen to convey his thoughts.

Even in front of me, he is unwilling to speak.

After a long time, although I have no choice, I can only accept it slowly. In my heart, I still hope that my little fellow can live a normal life.

Just now, the two kids said that Lundy didn’t have many friends in the kindergarten. Presumably, it had something to do with his unwillingness to speak

We kept silent all the way.

When we got back to the manor, Lundy was also walking in.

I slowed down my pace indulgently and followed him into the manor villa.

“You’re finally back!”

As soon as I entered, I heard my mother’s voice.

I looked up at the living room in surprise.

I saw my parents and Bonnie happily surrounding Lundy.

“Dad, mom, why are you here?” I frowned and asked.

Hearing this, Janet, on the one hand, checked whether Lundy was hurt or not, on the other hand, complained, “I heard early in the morning that my sweetheart was lost. Isn’t that worried? I was so scared that I pulled your father over to have a look. You didn’t tell us such a big thing!”

I have nothing to say.

“Lundy, tell me, where have you been?” Mom held him in his arms intimately and said with concern, “you are so young. How can you run around alone? It scared grandma. Don’t do this again, okay?”

Bonnie also echoed, “if you are unhappy, you can ask your aunt for help. Don’t run away without making a sound. Grandpa and grandma are worried about you. So is aunt. They are going out to look for you. Fortunately, you are back!”

Lundy was held with a cold expression. he didn’t respond.

I know the little guy doesn’t like this kind of atmosphere. I alked up and took him om mother’s arms as if nothing had happened. I said indifferently, “he is very smart. he didn’t run far. You don’t have to worry.”

Lundy wrapped his arms around my neck and buried his head in my shoulder.

My mother turned to me and complained, “I think you are busy with your work all day long and ignore Lundy. If you get married early and have more people to take care of him, Lundy won’t be so lonely, and he won’t want to run away from home all day long!”

Hearing this, I frowned slightly. Knowing that my mother was going to urge me to marry again, I promised immediately, “from now on, I will try not to go out on weekends and stay with him at home. I didn’t intend to go out today, but there is an emergency in the company, so I have to go.”

Seeing that her goal had not been achieved, my mother came straight to the point. “Don’t play dumb with me. I’m asking you when you plan to marry Bonnie. Bonnie is a girl and has been with you for six years. How many six years can a girl have? Don’t you know how much you care about her?”

On the other side, Bonnie thoughtfully held the arm of mother, with a faint smile on her face. She looked at me with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

“Mom, I’ve been very busy recently. And you have seen Lundy’s condition. he has been running away from home these days, and his mood is very unstable. I don’t want to consider getting married for the time being.”

Her mother frowned and tried to persuade her patiently, “that’s why we need to settle your marriage as soon as possible. At that time, Bonnie will help you take care of Lundy. Isn’t it good? She has always treated Lundy as her own son all these years…”

“Mom!”

I interrupted Janet in a deep voice and said without hesitation, “I said I don’t want to consider it for the time being. Moreover, I will take Lundy’s will first. Please don’t persuade me anymore!”

Bonnie tried to smooth things over with a smile. “Aunt, it doesn’t matter. I’m willing to wait until Lundy completely accepts me.”

Hearing this, I glanced at her.

At noon, my parents stayed in the manor for lunch, and Bonnie also made an excuse to stay.

At the dinner table, Bonnie was very considerate. From time to time, she ladled soup and vegetables for my parents, and also peeled shrimps for Lundy. She didn’t eat much herself.

“Come here. I remember that Lundy likes shrimps, so I peeled them for you.” Bonnie pushed the peeled shrimps in front of Lundy.

Lundy just looked up and then lowered her head to eat as if she didn’t see anything.

My mother complained, “Lundy, I peeled shrimps for you. Why don’t you eat them?.”

Lundy turned a deaf ear and continued eating.

Seeing this, my mother said in a stern tone, “Lundy, it’s very impolite.”

Lundy paused and raised his head, with stubbornness in his eyes.

On the other side, Bonnie pretended to be considerate and comforted her, “Auntie, don’t be angry. Lundy might have been full, so he doesn’t eat these. Besides, Lundy is emotionally unstable. You will frighten him.”

My mother said in a relieved tone, “you are so considerate. I will be relieved to have you take care of Lundy in the future.”

After saying that, she looked at me with blame in her eyes.

I said to Bonnie in a low voice, “Lundy doesn’t eat the food given by others. You don’t have to worry about it.”

A hint of sadness flashed across Bonnie’s face when she heard this. Embarrassed, she took the plate of shrimps back.

“It’s all your fault.”

I don’t deny, “children should have such a sense of security, at least after going out, they won’t eat things from strangers.”

My mother pretended to be preaching. My father, Latham, coughed and said, “Penn is right. Lundy likes to run around these two days. No one can take the responsibility if he eats something he shouldn’t eat outside.”

Then my mother gave up.

The meal exhausted me.

After lunch, I still have work to do and ask them about their plans.

My mother looked at Lundy lovingly and said, “I haven’t taken Lundy to buy clothes for a long time. Lundy, I’ll take you to buy beautiful clothes!”

Bonnie also came over and said, “Auntie, I’ll go with you to see what Lundy likes.”

“Okay.” my mother agreed with a smile.
