Lyndon raised an eyebrow, skeptical.
He scanned the place and spotted two folks at a nearby table — Brian and Rosalynn. One was cool as a
cucumber, the other giving him a friendly wave.
In a flash, it clicked.
They were the ones who had brought the kid here.

Realizing his blind date mess was orchestrated, Lyndon’s handsface clouded over.
The pair who finished watching the headed over to join Lyndon at a table.
“You're his dad? Lyndon, you never said you have a son.”
Brian gave him a playful look.
Lyndon cradled the little boy and shot a cold glance at Brian.
“Still trying to setup on a date?”
Brian grinned, glanced at Sheldon and quipped, “Don’t you want to find a mother for your kid?”
Finding him a mother? Didn't he have one?
Lyndon stared down at the little boy, questioning in his eyes.
Sheldon rolled his big eyes and told Lyndon in a childish tone. “I'm a pitiful boy no one wants. Luckily, Tilda’s
willing to take care of me. You promised to be my dad. As a man, you should stick to your word.”
Lyndon was left speechless.

So, this kid's an orphan?
Rosalynn was dumbfounded.
Hadn't Sheldon previously claimed that he wasn't a pitiful boy?
But now, he had changed his stance? What a cunning little guy.
“Poor thing, are you hungry?”
Lyndon gently touched Sheldon’s little head.
Sheldon looked down, patted his belly and said adorably, “Yeah. Can you getsfood?”
Lyndon smiled. “Sure.”
