Chapter 27 Go Home With Him
Austin bit his seductively thin lips and looked at her with an expression that suggested he was trying to negotiate with her. He said, "What exactly do you want from me? Tell me how much money you need right now, and I'll do my best to meet your needs."
Freya thought to herself, "Money? Damn it! Does he think that he can insult me just because he's rich? "
"I want nothing more than my son. Anyway, you better stay away from him," Freya warned him. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Austin narrowed his eyes, making him appear extremely dangerous. He realized she was extremely obstinate. Letting out a grunt, he said, "I'm afraid I'll see you in court, Ms. Brooks. My legal team will certainly show you who is qualified to raise this child."
He was threatening her, but he also seemed to mean something else.
Freya widened her eyes slightly. Her years of work there had taught her that a wealthy man like him could never be defeated in court. She saw through his ploys and knew he could use his resources to help him win.
"It doesn't matter! I'm not afraid of you at all." Freya said. She was sure she would lose, but she tried her best to appear confident in front of Austin.
"Okay. I hope you can keep what you said just now in mind. You can begin anticipating your court summons right now! Also, I'm taking Daniel home with me tonight." Austin said unequivocally.
Freya bit her lip tightly. She was so mad at him that she wanted to slap him badly. The one night stand with Austin four years ago had cost her everything, and now he even wanted to take her son away from her.
"You can't possibly do that. My son would never live with anyone other than with me!" Freya said. She appeared resentful of Austin, which was why her beautiful eyes were filled with tears.
Austin looked at her, irritated. The last thing he wanted to see was a woman sobbing.
Daniel stayed in Yolanda's office, but he couldn't stop thinking about his parents. He was concerned that they would argue when they saw each other again after four years apart.
Daniel snuck out of the office while Yolanda was busy washing fruit for him. After sprinting to Austin's office, he didn't hesitate to push open the door halfway.
Austin was facing the door, so when he heard the door open, he knew Daniel was on his way in. He reacted instinctively when he saw the woman in front of him, who appeared angry and on the verge of tears. He extended his strong arm and pressed the tearful woman's face against his chest.
Freya raised her tearful eyes in surprise. Before she could figure out what was happening, she heard Daniel say, surprised, "Wow! You're cuddling, Daddy and Mommy!"
With a grin on his face, Austin said, "Yes! Your mommy got so excited that she burst into tears."
Freya raised her head and gave him a scowl. She thought to herself, "He's bullshitting! Why is he lying? He's the one who pissed me off! "
"I know you're happy to see Daddy, too, Mom. Please stop crying. I want you to be as brave and strong as I am." Daniel comforted Freya with what she once said to him.
Freya thought she was going to have a nervous breakdown. With a disgusted expression, she tried to break free from Austin's embrace. She despised Austin for attempting to steal her son, so she avoided any physical contact with him.
"It's a deal, then! You are both invited to dinner at my house tonight." Austin abruptly announced.
Freya immediately looked up and glared at him, looking reluctant.
By this point, Daniel was bouncing up and down with delight. "Really? Can we really go to Daddy's house for dinner, Mommy? Yeah! I have a dad now! My friends will no longer tease me about not having a father."
Freya wanted to say no to Austin but she changed her mind after hearing her son's words and his excited voice. When they were abroad, Daniel had been teased by other children for not having a father, which traumatized him.
Freya's guilt over this matter had never left her. As a result, she didn't dare to be ruthless in rejecting Austin now for fear of disappointing her son.
