Chapter 180 Grandson
Seeing that his own mother was almost finished with her own imagination, Colton said helplessly, “Mom, it’s really not how you imagined it to be. This kid belongs to Nicky; he’s not mine.” Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Unconvinced, Anna thought that he was merely trying to brush her off, and she snorted. “Do you take me for a fool?” This rascal is even calling her Nicky, she thought. Others might not know, but I do as his mother! He definitely has his selfish reasons, and I always wondered why he wanted to keep Queenie by his side back then; it’s because he had let her elder sister down, and so he kept her by his side so he could justifiably support the Andersons.
Everything made sense to Anna now as to why Colton insisted on letting Queenie stay by his side without a reason back then and even made her his fiancée but didn’t want to marry nor touch her.
As a trace of awkwardness started to form in the atmosphere, Hayden, who was nestled in Anna’a arms, looked around and uttered nonchalantly, “I’ve never had a daddy since I was young. Grandma, is Mr. Handsome really my daddy?” he asked, his expression filled with anticipation.
Hurriedly, Anna nodded. “Yes. He’s your daddy, and I’m your grandma. You must have been through a lot all these years,” she said, her heart wrenching.
“No, I didn’t.” Shaking his head, Hayden said seriously, “Mommy has been working hard all these years, and she can earn a lot of money now as a chief designer.”
With a smile on her face, Anna bobbed her head. “Yes, your mommy is amazing.”
Nicole and Colton were both speechless as it seemed like there was no chance for them to interject anymore while Anna and Hayden chatted away happily.
At the same time, Nicole was sure that her son was doing it on purpose, but she couldn’t say it out loud since Anna was still there, so she could only give him the evil stare. Despite that, it didn’t seem to bother Hayden as he continued to chat enthusiastically with Anna with his honey-coated words, making her chuckle loudly.
After a while, Anna’s liking for him grew, and she lowered her head, asking, “Would you like to go home with me to take a look, Hayden?”
Looking away, Hayden stole a look at Nicole’s livid face and kept away his gaze. “I don’t think Mommy is okay with this,” he mumbled sadly.
Then, Anna turned to Nicole and said in a serious tone, “It’s my fault for misunderstanding you before this, Nicole. I apologize to you for that. But since Hayden is Colton’s son, he has to return to his roots. I’m not against it if Colton wants to marry you, just as long as the both of you are happy.”
“Mrs. Gardner, Hayden is really not President Gardner’s son,” Nicole said anxiously.
Unfortunately, her explanation had no effect at all because Anna wasn’t the least convinced.
“Then tell me—whose child is this?” she asked instead.
Dumbfounded, Nicole couldn’t say anything, the words stuck in her throat. Even she herself didn’t know who that man from five years ago was, but it was definitely not Colton!
“Alright, I’m taking Hayden home with me. Colton, get ready and bring Nicky home with you,” Anna said without seeking their opinion. Then, she left in delight while holding Hayden in her arms.
Although Nicole wanted to stop her, she was held back by Colton, who smiled bitterly and said helplessly, “I don’t think she’ll believe you even if you stop her now. Think about how to explain it to her and come with me to the Gardner Residence this evening.”
Watching her son, who was leaning his head on Anna’s shoulder and even waved goodbye to her with a smile before leaving, Nicole was sure that he was doing this on purpose!
Since Mrs. Gardner thinks that Hayden is Colton’s son, she won’t do anything to him, and nothing will happen if he’s there for a while, she thought. “Hayden is all to blame for simply addressing her as grandma. Otherwise, Mrs. Gardner wouldn’t have misunderstood.”
