Their Bundle Of Joy novel Chapter 47

Isabel understood that Aiden’s proposal to change Daniel’s last name to Howard was absolute because the waitress just said that he was an illegitimate child.

But when he changed this way, people would definitely believe that Daniel was a bastard.

After all, she married none of the men in the Howard family, yet the child took its last name. What a clumsy lie that reveals the obvious truth!

Although Aiden had good intentions, he helped people to see her as a ‘mistress’.

But she was no man’s mistress.

Nobody.

Now that he had his eyes on that woman, stop bothering her again.

Stop giving her any hope.

If not, she was going to suffer from gains and losses.

It wasn’t long ago that she felt this way. Sometimes excited, sometimes upset. If possible, she would rather live her life in peace with Daniel.

"Why?" Aiden couldn’t figure it out. Daniel was obviously Adam’s son. Isabel said this in person at the wedding 5 years ago.

And the DNA results came out yesterday also explained everything.

All he did was trying to give the kid’s last name back.

The real last name that he should have.

You couldn’t blame Aiden for doing this, especially as Adam’s elder brother. It was totally understandable. For the sake of his son.

Daniel needed to know who his ancestors really were.

As for Daniel, even if Isabel carried his child, it was personal if Adam wanted to stay out of her life. But not being responsible for Daniel was not the right thing to do.

If Daniel is a Howard child, he should take it as his last name.

Isabel held the VIP card that had her name on. Although she still had it in her hand, she thought she would never come back here again.

She lowered her head, twisted the corner of her blouse, didn’t even dare to look at Aiden in the eyes.

His eyes were like whirlpools. Every time she looked at him, her brain turned blank as if she couldn’t think about anything.

She didn’t want to feel that way.

She wanted to be herself.

"Daniel is my son. Only belongs to me. So Mr. Howard, please respect my decision. Let him take my last name." she took Daniel’s hand and walked away.

Daniel turned to his mom, then looked at Aiden.

The kid didn’t say a single word.

Mommy’s decision is right.

After seeing Aiden with the other woman, he remained silent.

Don’t mess with my mommy if you are seeing another woman.

“Hold on, Isabel." Aiden yelled with anger. The reason he did this in front of others was all for her own sake.

But Isabel was against it, left without leaving a word behind. It seemed that she was the first person who dared to disobey him.

Her steps trembled with a bit of hesitance.

Daniel held her hand, fearing that she would obey Aiden.

Aiden is the bad guy. Mommy’s feelings must be hurt. He can feel her body trembling.

"Isabel, we have to change Daniel’s last name.” Aiden shouted as the mother and son were about to walk out of the Royal restaurant.

The shout was cold like usual but was much softer than how he treated others.

Isabel was about to turn around, but Daniel moved first, let go of her hands and faced right towards Aiden. Don’t think he didn’t exist even though he was tiny.

"Mr. Howard, you wanted to change my last name. Did you ask about my opinion?"

The kid’s voice was neither high nor low, but it was full of disdain.

Yes, he looked down upon the name Howard.

Just like mommy said, taking mommy’s name was fine.

It was the first time Aiden ever felt so humiliated, and he was challenged by a kid.

However, he couldn’t object to the kid’s question.

He clearly didn’t ask the kid about changing his last name.

Since the child belongs to Adam Howard, it only makes sense to consider taking his younger brother’s last name.

The children of the Howard family can only have the last name, Howard.

It never crossed his mind that not only Isabel was against this idea, even Daniel, but a little kid was too.

He couldn’t help but think of the first time he met Daniel. The kid seemed to have a natural hostility towards him.

But the hostility seemed to fade when he dropped the kid at school.

Today however, he seemed to be hostile towards him again.

Aiden felt like snapping at Daniel, but even he thought it was awkward.

Moreover, the most awful thing was the kid questioned him like this. Even though he felt awkward, he didn’t find the kid annoying at all. With a warm smile, he stepped forward and squatted in front of Daniel, looked him in the eyes, ‘Don’t you like to change your last name?

“I don’t like it." The kid answered without hesitance.

He doesn’t like it if mommy doesn’t like it.

Seeing the kid took him that seriously, it surprisingly made Aiden laughed.

And also he had to admit the bad luck.

He was bamboozled by a kid.

But instead of being upset, he liked Daniel for this.

He was independent-minded, just like a Howard kid should be.

Aiden put his arms around him gently, "Alright, we’ll stay the same if Daniel doesn’t like it. There, let me take you to the crew.”

Seeing him holding the boy with the smile in his eyes, all the waiters and customers in the Royal restaurant were dumbfounded.

It turned out Aiden could smile.

Even a smile can be so beautiful.

The scene of Aiden being rejected by the kid was long forgotten.

Daniel struggled and slid to the ground as soon as he left the restaurant, quickly caught up with Isabel.

“Daniel,” Aiden was wondering why the kid suddenly behaved like that.

"I’d rather sit with mommy and rather leave Mr. Howard’s car to that woman." Isabel didn’t say a word, but the kid was upset.

He was really upset.

The kid was convinced what he saw in the video, in which Aiden admitted that Isabel was carrying his child.

That’s all he needed to remember.

Aiden stroked his forehead as he watched Daniel running away.

For some reason, he felt sad as he watched Isabel took Daniel’s hand and grabbed a taxi.

But he put away the strange feelings right away.

Daniel is Adam’s son. Even if Aiden was affectionate towards Isabel lately, there was nothing he can do about it.

The DNA test results from that night meant that he and Isabel would never have a chance to be together.

According to the investigation about Isabel, she didn’t have any scandals before and after she went abroad.

It was only because of Ewan’s investigation report that he overlooked his previous prejudice against Isabel.

He couldn’t fathom why after these years no woman ever moved him.

Nobody but Isabel.

But Daniel is his brother’s child.

Aiden shook his head, started the car and followed the taxi that Isabel just got on.
