Chapter 583: Chapter 304: The Little Devil Tricks His Father (Part 2)

Howard Geoffrey chuckled softly, holding his mother’s shoulder in a conspiratorial manner, and whispered, "Mom, you’d better not let Becca hear this..."

Mrs. Geoffrey pushed away from Howard, looking stern, "Do you think she’s foolish, playing with her feelings like this?"

Seeing his mother truly angry, Howard had to patiently explain, "Mom, things aren’t as they seem on the surface, don’t you know what kind of person your son is?"

"I just can’t figure out, between Alice and Becca, who do you actually like?"

Howard continued smiling faintly, "After all these years, have I ever been with another woman?"

"You mean..."

Howard’s gaze shifted upstairs, as if the beautiful figure was still there, and he sincerely and earnestly said, "The one I’ve always liked is her."

Mrs. Geoffrey immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "At least I don’t have to worry that my grandson will have a stepmother in the future."

Howard wrapped his arm around his mother’s shoulder again, coaxing, "Didn’t I promise to have a few more grandkids to keep you company..."

"Are you sure you’ve chosen the right one?"

"I’m sure, and it’s never changed."

"Alright then, I’ll accept Becca as my daughter-in-law... If you dare let her down again, I won’t forgive you!"

"Okay..." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Go see Andrew, even one day without seeing him, he changes a lot. He can say so much now..."

"Mom, thank you for taking care of Andrew during this time. You’re not well; you should’ve told me..."

In the childlike curiosity of the nursery, Rebecca Quentin gazed unblinkingly at Andrew, who was sleeping soundly on the sky-blue children’s bed.

It’s been a while, and the little guy seems to have grown so much since she last saw him...

According to her aunt, he’s a little devil now, often doing things that give grown-ups headaches, but looking at his calm and tranquil sleeping appearance, he seems like an innocent and adorable little angel with no trace of devilishness.

However, even if he’s a little devil, it’s quite normal given the saying like father, like son; thinking of this, Rebecca couldn’t resist kissing Andrew’s rosy cheek.

"Isn’t he cute?"

Howard had entered at some point, sitting beside her and hugging her as he asked.

Rebecca’s gaze remained on the child’s innocent face, and she nodded contentedly.

"He’s quite naughty; Mom has called me about it many times."

Rebecca turned to Howard, seriously asking, "Are you sure a child just over a year old can be unruly?"

Howard added, "To be precise, he’s mischievous."

Rebecca disagreed, "Kids at this age are naturally playful. You can’t label him unruly for his childish actions... Do you seriously think he deliberately used ink to ruin your documents just so you’d spend time holding him?"

Howard smiled between his brows, "You even know about that?"

"Your mom told me."

"It seems my mom is closer to you now than me."

Rebecca grinned proudly, "In the future, we’ll definitely get closer and closer."

Howard pecked Rebecca on the lips, "Does this mean that in the future, I’ll have no standing in this family?"

"Anyway, mom’s first, Andrew’s second, and you..."

Howard furrowed his brows unhappily, "Third place even before we’re married?"

Rebecca wrapped her arms around Howard’s neck, suggestively saying, "No, you aren’t even third; you’re last..."

Howard knowingly gazed at Rebecca’s charming face, "So, does this mean we should work hard to bring about the third, fourth, and fifth so that I’ll eventually come last?"

Rebecca laughed shyly.

At this moment, a wimpy kid on the bed had woken up, rubbed his eyes, and opened his innocent little eyes.

Rebecca quickly pushed Howard away and exclaimed excitedly, "Andrew’s awake..."

Howard was a bit bewildered by the push, but saw that Rebecca had already picked Andrew up from the bed.

Andrew, just waking up, was in an adorably confused state, his bright and clear eyes innocently looking at his parents.

"Mom..."

Howard called out to the outside.

Rebecca frowned, "What are you doing?"

"I need to call Mom. How will you handle him?"

"Don’t you remember I once took care of him alone?"

Howard smiled, watching the innocent wimpy kid standing on the bed, and kissed Rebecca, "Honey, he’s not a four or five-month-old baby anymore; he’s much more troublesome than you think."

"I’m not afraid."

With that, Rebecca helped Andrew get dressed, then supported him as he stood on the little bed, seriously asking the wimpy kid, "Do you recognize Mommy?"

Andrew blinked his innocent eyes at Rebecca, without saying a word.

Not receiving a response from Andrew, Rebecca earnestly repeated, "It’s Mommy... Do you remember? Last time Mommy came to see you, and took you to play in the garden..."

Andrew still had an indifferent expression.

Rebecca felt a pang of disappointment at her son’s unrecognizing, innocent look.

Howard hugged Rebecca, but his gaze was authoritative as he looked at the adorable Andrew, "Call Mommy."

Andrew looked at his father, blinking his long, lush lashes, and sweetly called, "Daddy."

Howard repeated more sternly, "Call Mommy!"

Andrew seemed to feel wronged, lowering his long lashes, and in a childish voice called, "Daddy."

Seeing Howard making Andrew almost cry, Rebecca quickly hugged Andrew in her arms, reprimanding Howard, "Stop pressuring him. It’s normal for him to react this way when he doesn’t often see me..."

Although Howard didn’t speak further, his expression remained stern towards Andrew.

Andrew suddenly buried himself in Rebecca’s arms, his tiny hands hugging Rebecca tightly and accused on her shoulder, "Mommy... Daddy... mean... mean..."

Hearing Andrew call her, Rebecca instantly broke into a smile, "Don’t be afraid, Mommy is here." It turns out her son hadn’t forgotten her after all...

Howard’s expression, however, turned darker. He... he had indeed been outsmarted by his own son!

Rebecca excitedly picked Andrew up from the bed, and said to Howard, "He can actually understand what we’re saying now..."

"Now you can see how naughty he is, right?"

"No..." Rebecca kissed Andrew’s chubby cheek, "He’s adorable."
