Yuna looked at Cecelia, her tone serious. "Auntie, there won't be any man better than Tobias." Cecilia's heart missed a beat.
Yuna seemed to be recalling something, and her face brightened. "Auntie, Tobias is older thanby eight years." Cecilia nodded.
Yuna indeed looked really young, and could only be in her early twenties.
"Auntie, I'd seen Tobias on TV before, back when I was in high school. It only took that one glance forto be completely smitten. I thought to myself, how could there be such a handsman on this earth? She paused for a moment before continuing, "I was elated to know that my grandfather and Mr. Whitlock were comrade-in-arms, and I was even happier that Mr. Whitlock liked me. I'm guessing that though he has a son, since Mr. Whitlock is trying to matchmake the two of us, Tobias doesn't have a wife, right?" She stared unblinkingly at Cecilia.
What Yuna had said made Cecilia paused for a moment.
She didn't expect Yuna to be this observant.
Cecelia didn't know how to respond to Yuna's question.
It was true that Tobias didn't have a wife right now.
And with both Tobias and Natalie's attitudes, it didn't seem possible that they'd get back together.
Although Cecilia didn't say anything, looking at her expression, Yuna had a grasp of the situation. Her eyes flashed.
She looked at Cecilia sincerely. "Auntie, although I'm young, I think I can be a good stepmother. Please givea chance." Yuna had made her viewpoint clear with this sentence.
Cecilia's heart skipped a beat.
After a while, she sighed. "Yuna, it's useless for you to ask what I think. If you want, you should ask Tobias." Hearing Cecilia's words, Yuna's heart suddenly started to race.
A blush appeared on her face.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTseemed to rewind back to that moment years ago, when she'd accidentally seen that godly face on TV.
In that moment, she was smitten.
After Peter had woken up from his afternoon nap, Cecilia went to look for him at once.
This matter could no longer be concealed, and it had to be told.
Cecilia told Peter all about Hayden.
Peter took a whole minute to process the news.
His eyes widened to the limit. "What child? Why haven't I heard of him? Where did this child cfrom? Is he really Tobias' son?" Cecilia exhaled, "Peter, this matter is very complicated, but Hayden is indeed Tobias' son." Peter was unable to accept this fact at all.
He even suspected that Hayden wasn't Tobias' son at all and that Cecelia was just making things up to reject Yuna.
"When that child comes back, I have to do a DNA test. I don't believe that Tobias would suddenly beca father!" Cecilia did not try to explain or refute him. SeaR*ch the FindNøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
Instead, she silently took Hayden's photo and showed it to Peter.
This time, Peter was completely dumbfounded.
In the photo, Hayden was like a carbon copy of a young Tobias.
Peter didn't bring up the DNA test anymore.
"Where's the child's mother?" Peter suddenly asked, looking at Cecelia.
Cecilia had no idea how to answer this question.
She wanted to skip this topic by remaining silent, but Peter was persistent.
In the end, she had no choice.
"They broke up. She broke up with Tobias." Peter fell into deep thought.
A moment later, he made a decision. "Since Tobias has already broken things off with the child's mother, it means that they're not suitable for each other. Yuna's a wonderful girl and she's well- bred. I'll talk to her, I'm sure she can understand." "There's no need for that, Peter," Cecelia said. "I've already spoken to her, and she can accept it." Peter's face flushed with joy. "I knew it! Yuna is great." Cecilia did not know what to say.
At the bottom of her heart, she still hoped that Tobias and Natalie could be together.
However, it didn't seem likely to happen with the current situation.
"Peter, marriage isn't something that we can force onto them. We still have to see what Tobias thinks." Cecilia's words caused Peter's eyes to widen. "You want to depend on him? I won't be able to see him get married even till the day I die!" "Well, you already have a great-grandson, don't you?" After all, Peter had always been making noise about wanting a great-grandchild. Now that he knew about Hayden's existence, he didn't have to rush things anymore.
Peter glowered. "How can I be satisfied with just a great-grandchild? I want him to get married! I know that Yuna is the best match for Tobias!" At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Hayden cback from kindergarten.
Although Peter took stgetting used to his great-grandson's sudden appearance, blood was still thicker than water.
What's more, Hayden and Tobias were so similar in appearance, with Hayden's cheeky and outgoing personality making him lovable at first sight. Hayden's huge eyes and round cheeks tickled the old man's heart. It didn't take long for the two to befriend each other.
The little boy even climbed into Peter's lap to pull his white beard, which made Peter's face scrunch up.
Yuna's expression was a little unnatural when she first saw Hayden, but soon she adapted to the role of a big sister. She deliberately held Hayden's hand and talked to him animatedly, even entertaining him with stories.
However, Hayden didn't seem to like Yuna very much.
Hayden pulled Cecilia aside.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Grandma, that grandpa is my great-grandpa, right? Then who's that lady?" He blinked his big, round eyes.
Cecilia hesitated.
She didn't know how to answer Hayden either.
"She's someone your great grandfather brought here.
hever. Your great grandfather likes her very much." Cecilia had no choice but to tell him this. With a mysterious look on Hayden's face, he whispered, "Grandma, I don't like her." Cecilia's breathing hitched.
Yuna had been very friendly to him from the beginning to the end. Why didn't Hayden like her? Hayden's voice lowered a little. "Grandma, I think this woman looks sort of... b*tchy!" Cecelia was taken aback.
She looked at Hayden, speechless.
Everything was perfect about her grandson, except that he was just too precocious.
How could a young kid his age already know what b*tchy meant? Cecilia patted Hayden's head and chided, "Don't think too much." Hayden pouted.
He secretly ran back to his room and dialed Natalie's mobile phone.
The call was quickly picked up.
"Hayden." There was a hint of joy in Natalie's tired voice.
"Natalie, why haven't you cto seefor such a long time?" Hayden asked.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.
"Hayden, I'll visit you when I have time, okay?" Natalie said in a low voice.
"Okay. Natalie, I need to tell you something." "Sure, go on." Natalie" perked up a little and pretended to be curious.
