Best Revenge: Being My Ex-Boyfriend’s Aunt

Freya and Ryan took Dani to the front courtyard for breakfast.

Dani, who was in Ryan's embrace, looked around with his big, dark eyes.

Rodney tagged along shamelessly. "Dani, I'll take you to Grandma's house, okay?"

Dani turned her head around straight away. She wrapped her hands around Ryan's neck as if Ryan was his biological father.

Rodney became jealous. "Ryan, return my daughter to me. I'm bringing her back to the old residence, and Freya agreed with it just now."

"You can take her there after I leave for work." Ryan said earnestly, "Dani doesn't want to part with me now. If I forcefully hand her to you, she'll cry. She's no longer the baby who knows nothing. She can now roll over, and she has her own opinions. Do you understand?"

"I understand, and that's why I want to bond with her." Rodney said impatiently," Ryan, are you trying to be my daughter's dad? Well, you can dream on."

Freya's expression shifted a little. She quickly turned her gaze to Ryan, who appeared calm as always. There were no changes in his expression at all as if he was not bothered about Rodney.

Freya let out a sigh.

That seemed to be the best way to cope with the situation.

"Ryan, you're daring enough to have such a thought but too timid to admit it, huh?"

Rodney snorted. "If you're fond of children, why don't you get a woman pregnant yourself? What's with carrying someone else's child?"

Nathan and Heidi, who were strolling around the garden, heard what Rodney said, and their brows furrowed tightly.

Heidi, in particular, said sourly, "Ryan is responsible toward Dani, and he's much better than you. What gives you the right to talk nonsense here?"

The dignified voice that sounded abruptly startled the three of them.noveldrama

Looking at Heidi's and Nathan's cold expressions, a flash of respect and fear instinctively flashed across Rodney's eyes.

Ever since Nathan and Heidi became the prime minister and first lady, they became increasingly dignified. Meanwhile, things were getting worse for Rodney. At that point, he was too embarrassed to look into his uncle's and aunt's eyes.

"Aunty Heidi, I didn't mean that-" Rodney explained in a low voice.

Nathan asked coldly, "Didn't your dad say he's going to send you abroad?"

"I-I don't want to go abroad." Rodney lowered his head. "I can't bear to part with Dani."

Heidi chuckled. "You could bear to part with her back then, yet now you can't." "Uncle Nathan, Aunty Heidi, go ahead and criticize me. I know it's all my fault." Rodney abandoned himself to despair. "I'll stay in Australia to look after Dani." "Rodney, taking care of Dani isn't just about making sure she eats or sleeps well. She learns from her parents how to behave and think, yet your behavior is problematic. What makes you qualified to bring up a child?" Heidi criticized him bluntly. "You want her to be like you when she grows up, huh?"

"I... I'll change my ways," Rodney replied with a blush of shame.

Heidi scoffed. "How will you change?

You've lost your job and reputation. Your dad wants you to go abroad so that you can have a change of environment and start afresh, but all you do now is pester your ex-wife and child. How much money are you left with? Are you planning to live off others for the rest of your life?"

Rodney gnashed his teeth, unable to bring himself to listen to it anymore. What had he done to deserve to be lectured by Ryan and Heidi? "Aunty Heidi, you have no right to say such things to me. I know my business very well. As for... Dani, it's my family affair."

What he meant was that Heidi had no right to have a hand in it.
