Their Bundle Of Joy novel Chapter 43

Aiden picked up the phone and took a look at Isabel and then walked in big strides to the window. With a swipe of the finger, he answered Stanley’s call, “Speak.”

He uttered one syllable and his eyes looked outside at the thousands of lights outside.

The night has its gentleness.

“Master Howard, whose hair are these?” Stanley was not anxious to say the results and it was Aiden who engaged him to do the tests.

“Don’t you want the hospital to continue operating?” He snapped back at Stanley’s nosiness.

“Don’t tell me it’s Master Howard and another child’s?”

“Stop the nonsense, what’s the results?” Aiden pushed him for an answer. The room’s lights were on his back and it was surreal like out of science fiction, everything wasn’t real.

“Okay, let me tell you. The test results are that these are related as father and son. Master Howard, is that child Daniel?” Stanley continued to ask.

Aiden was stunned for a minute and then hung up the call and gently lowered his phone.

His slim body continued to stand by the window, quietly looking out at the night scenery for five seconds. Thereafter he turned and walked back to the table and sat down.

“Aiden, who called? Why are you upset?” Elliot asked out of curiosity.

Samuel poured the glass full of XO and said, “It must be Stanley, right?”

“Eat,” Aiden said calmly and drank a mouthful. From then on, he didn’t serve anything onto Isabel’s plate.

Isabel didn’t know when Aiden left. After she came out of the bathroom, she was pulled aside by Lara, “Isabel, Elliot really announced on line about our engagement, heh heh, thanks!”

“Where is he?”

“he asked me to send you home. He had already left.”

“He already left?” Isabel was stunned, then she realized that not only Elliot had left, but all the men in that private room had also left and only Lara and she remained.

Isabel went to pick Daniel from the film set and went back to the apartment. She took a shower and slept.

The next morning, Isabel was awakened by Daniel. She changed and dashed out of the apartment. It was the weekend and the campus grounds of T University was quiet, all were sleeping in.

“Mommy, can we eat at Royal restaurant again?” Daniel suggested as they walked.

“Okay.” Isabel touched her bag and she brought the VIP card of the Royal restaurant. That was given to her by Aiden. As long as it was from him, she kept them preciously with her.

Although she felt uncomfortable spending Aiden’s money, she couldn’t refuse Daniel.

They took public transport and arrived at the Royal restaurant.

The waitress looked at Isabel and Daniel and welcomed them but she felt that something wasn’t right.

“Miss White, are you a party of two or…”

“Two.”

“Then… then is it the private room or the main hall?”

Daniel looked at the large aquarium and said, “Mommy, over there, I want to look at the fish.”

Kids naturally liked small animals and amusement parks. Daniel was no different.

Isabel nodded, “We’ll sit over there.”

They sat properly and very quickly the signature breakfast was served. The breakfast at the Royal restaurant was different every day. Even though it was the same category, the way it was prepared and the selection was different.

Each day was different and unique.

It was very nutritious and healthy.

Isabel ate slowly, she wasn’t hungry and was mainly looking at Daniel.

Her head was filled with Aiden and yesterday Elliot and the rest of them addressing her as if she was Aiden’s woman. If Aiden was to express his liking for her, should she agree or disagree?

She was lost in her thoughts when someone behind her said, “Sigh, she’s already dumped and she still dares to come here to eat? I guess that child isn’t Aiden’s although there is some semblance. But Aiden has never given the child any identity.”

“Isn’t it? Now he adopted his mother’s last name. From that, we can tell he is an illegitimate child.”

Isabel’s face turned pale and looked at Daniel. The two women who whispered were sitting behind her and Daniel shouldn’t have heard it as he continued to eat.

He was enjoying his breakfast.

The kid loves to have breakfast here because there were plenty of selections and each was a small portion. He found it fun eating them.

Isabel was relieved and perhaps she had worried unnecessarily.

The two of them behind her could very well be envious of her and that’s why they slandered her and Aiden.

She thought about how nice Aiden was to her and her heart softened. If possible, she will borrow fifty million from Aiden, get back the safe that her mother left for her, and then pay him back the fifty million and then spend the remaining days with him.

“Waiter, there is an insect in my milk.” Daniel softly said.

“How can that be? There has never been insects in Royal restaurant.” The waitress walked over to look at Daniel’s cup.

True enough, there was an insect still struggling on the milk. She pursed her lips and said condescendingly, “It’s free anyway, if you want to drink, I’ll change a cup for you.”

Isabel was stunned, “What do you mean free or not? Speak your mind.” She already had endured what those two said behind her back. She didn’t care about what the rest said. She will walk her own path and let others talk all they want.

But what the waitress said had hidden messages. She must respond after being insulted.

“Miss White, isn’t your VIP card free of charge? So isn’t that a free meal?” Although the waitress mumbled softly, Isabel and Daniel both heard it clearly.

The reason why Daniel wanted Isabel to bring her here as he felt that it would be a waste not using this card. Additionally, he felt that since Aiden was his real daddy, then it was natural that he should eat daddy’s food.

He was only four and Aiden had the responsibility to feed him.

He never expected to be insulted this early in the morning.

“You can’t insult my mother!” Daniel stood up in anger and glared at the waitress. He was ready to protect Isabel and will not allow anyone to bully her.

Isabel patted his head and calmed him down. Then she sighed a long breath and laughed, “It’s my ability to be able to get the card. You can’t get one even if you wanted one, isn’t it? You can only stand here and serve me.”

She didn’t mean to use Aiden to prop herself up but what this waitress said was too outrageous.
