Their Bundle Of Joy novel Chapter 23

“I’m not someone else, I’m your daddy now.” Adam has already seen Aiden’s deepening expression. He felt that Aiden and Isabel must have some issues in the past.

If these two person’s relationship doesn’t progress, then he will help them.

“Still no, we are not familiar yet. Once we’re more familiar then I’ll accept a little. Yes, all I can accept is one hundred.” Daniel said seriously.

Adam wanted to ask this little kid that yesterday when he earned sixty thousand from him, how come he didn’t see Daniel flinch.

He really had a way with fortunes.

When he should benefit, he will not be shy. When he shouldn’t benefit, he will not want a bit.

This kid has charisma and must have been brought up well by his mother. He was increasingly fond of him.

“Mister Howard, let’s sign the contract.” Isabel sat directly opposite Aiden and now that she was facing Aiden, it was like she was sitting on a cushion full of pins.

She knew that he hated her.

Whenever she recalled what he had said each time they met, she would become dejected.

She just wanted to sign the contract and leave.

When being in the same space as Aiden, she will find it difficult to breathe even though he doesn’t speak.

Adam took out an agreement, “Miss White, this is the agreement with Daniel. You must look carefully before you sign this contract.”

“Okay.” Isabel stretched out her hand to take the contract.

Unexpectedly Aiden reached across and grabbed it, “I’ll have a look.”

It was a well defined and beautiful hand. Following the hand, she could see his Adam's apple, and Isabel’s mind flashed the word, “Sexy”.

Each movement of Aiden was captivating, alluring, and a feast to the eyes.

“Hey, you don’t even like my son so why are you interested?”

Aiden glared at Adam, “He is still young and has his studies. You cannot let him throw away his studies to produce movies and TV shows. That will ruin his life.”

What Aiden said surprised Isabel. She has never thought that Aiden would be concerned for Daniel.

Adam laughed loudly, “Sure, since my brother is so concerned over my son, I’ll give you a chance.”

Isabel thought that Aiden will need a while but he just took slightly over a minute and highlighted several parts. “Just amend these few areas and it should be okay. Miss White, have a look and see if there are any other questions.”

Isabel took over the agreement from Aiden and her fingertips inadvertently touched his fingers. At that moment, her heart almost jumped out and she blushed, “Thanks.”

Polite and distant attitude made Aiden feel that she isn’t the type of woman who was a gold digger.

But he couldn’t shake off the image of her five years ago.

With regards to this woman, his first impression was that she had no self-respect, no shame, and no limits.

Isabel took over the agreement like she had been shocked and looked at it from the beginning to the end. She was overwhelmed as she had never signed such agreements before. It was a good thing for her that Aiden was here, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to spot the problem areas. “Just go with what Mr. Howard suggested for the amendments.”

Adam took over and looked at where his brother had highlighted. He rolled his eyes and said, “Aiden, are you really my brother?”

Why did he have a feeling that Daniel was Aiden’s son? Aiden was able to consider every detail for Daniel.

Aiden raised his eyebrow, “Didn’t you consider yourself as Daniel’s daddy? Can a daddy take advantage of his own son?”

“Where did I take advantage of him? I gave him the very best resources.”

“Okay, consider that he spends twenty-four hours a day eating and sleeping to film, no matter how much he earns, he would have lost his childhood.”

Daniel was dazed and confused and snatched the contract from Adam. This was about him selling his youth, he had to have a good look by himself.

When he saw the kid reading the contract word by word, Adam’s heart softened and asked, “Do you understand?”

“Not too bad.” The kid nodded and then saw a line and suggested, “I can eat lunch boxes with the adults but shouldn’t you provide me two extra chicken drumsticks since I’m growing, plus ice …”

At this point, he stopped and carefully looked at Isabel.

“Plus ice cream, correct?” Adam lovingly stroked Daniel’s head. He didn’t expect this kid to understand a complex document such as this agreement.

He was proud to accept this godson.

“Yes, can?” Daniel replied Adam and he still looked towards Isabel.

Isabel shook her head, “You can’t have ice cream for every meal.”

“It’s not spending your money, Isabel. This was a request by Daniel, can’t you agree to it?” Adam couldn’t resist speaking out for Daniel.

“He is still teething, do you want his teeth to rot? Wouldn’t that affect the filming schedule? Or do you want to give him dentures?” Aiden spoke before Isabel said anything.

“Yes yes, exactly that,” Isabel added.

Daniel pouted, “Okay, one ice cream a week.” This should do, right? If not, he doesn’t feel like living without any freedom.

“Done, is there any other problem?” Adam realized that he didn’t consider thoroughly for Daniel. He started to self reflect.

Looks like it was not easy being a daddy. He just thought that the kid liked to eat and didn’t consider the rest.

Daniel continued to look at the contract, “Why do I still have to attend kindergarten?” This time his glare fell onto Aiden. This was Aiden’s additional request.

He wanted to go into acting because he didn’t want to attend kindergarten. It’s so boring.

Although each day there were little girls playing with him, that was the only interesting part. He still didn’t want to attend kindergarten anymore.

“You are a child and attending kindergarten is your responsibility,” Aiden said calmly to educate him.

“But, I know everything that they teach at the kindergarten. To learn again, it’s like you spit out the wine in your mouth and then drink it again. Would it taste nice? It’s disgusting.”

The example given by Daniel, made Aiden lose his composure and spit out a mouthful of wine.

“Daniel…” Isabel glared at the kid.

Daniel lowered his little head, “I’m just stating the truth.”

On seeing the dejected expression of her kid, Isabel’s heart ached, “Once mommy is free, I’ll look for another kindergarten. But this month’s school fees had been paid, you must finish this month before we change.”

“Aiden, don’t you often donate to build some kindergarten and schools? Do you have any suggestions for a good kindergarten?” Adam now behaved like a good daddy, not forgetting about Aiden’s resources. It’s a waste not tapping into it.
