After divorce I am a billionaire novel Chapter 1149

Chapter 1149 You're the Kind Mother, I'm the Strict Father.

The little one hung his head in defeat, his mouth pouting as he said, "I'm sorry for making mommy and daddy worry..."

"It's okay." Mavis stroked her son's furry short hair, gently comforting him before giving Anthony a stern look, signaling him to speak nicely and not be too harsh.

Anthony lowered his voice and asked, "What happened next?"

Alistair recalled carefully, "Later, I felt dizzy and Aunt Bryleigh put me in the bathroom. I heard them talking, like Aunt Bryleigh and Uncle Moore were discussing how to kill me. Uncle Moore said that without me, Daddy and Mommy would be separated for good."

"Later on, I fainted again and woke up in the hotel room. Aunt Bryleigh found two strange uncles to check on me. One of them was a greedy fat uncle, so I came up with a plan... In the end, they were caught and found by you guys."

Anthony listened carefully, his expression extremely serious. "Since you ran into the park and knew that we had teamed up with NIB to offer a reward for finding you, why didn't you ask for help from passersby when you encountered them in the park?"

The little one was stunned for a while before tears welled up in his eyes. He looked pitiful and said, "I forgot in a hurry. I was too scared because they were chasing me too fast. I only remembered to run faster."

He became more and more depressed, and knocked his little head anxiously, "I'm really too stupid. If it were Spencer or Momo, they definitely wouldn't be as silly as I'm..."

Mavis quickly reassured, "My baby is not stupid at all. It's amazing that you were able to find the weaknesses of those two criminals so quickly and escape. It's inevitable to make mistakes when you're nervous and scared, but you successfully escaped without getting hurt. I'm really proud of you."

Alistair's eyes gradually lit up, but also carried a hint of insecurity after receiving affirmation. "Is it really true?"

"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you, Alistair?" She turned her head and glanced at Anthony beside her, signaling with her eyes. "Isn't that right?"

Anthony responded with a slight tone and expressionless face.

In front of their son, Mavis just gave him a deep stare and then lowered her head to continue soothing the little one in her arms.

"Alistair, you're not at fault. You're a very young kid. It was my mistake for misjudging people and causing harm to you. I owe you an apology."

Alistair's little head shook like a tambourine, and he immediately countered, "It's not your fault. You're also a victim. Uncle Moore and Aunt Bryleigh are the ones who should be punished."

Alistair was so sensible. Mavis smiled as she touched his head, overflowing with love in her eyes.

But when she thought of Moore, her heart was filled with disappointment. She didn't know why he had changed. Was it him or did she never really understand him?

"I'll handle things from here on out," Anthony spoke up at the right time, giving mother and son the greatest sense of security.

He had never liked Moore and only refrained from taking action against him for Mavis's sake. This time, however, Moore brought it upon himself.

"After he gets through this dangerous period and comes out of surgery..." Mavis paused before continuing. "I want to ask him myself."

The car fell into an unprecedented silence. After what seemed like forever, Anthony responded indifferently.

Mavis looked at Kane who was driving in the front seat. "Let's not go back to Callahan Residence tonight. It's too late and we don't want grandma to worry about us. Let's go back to Green Grove Apartment."

Kane glanced at Anthony first before agreeing with Mavis' decision, "Yes ma'am."

Back at Green Grove Apartment...

Anthony finished showering and saw a warm scene on the bed - Mavis holding Alistair as he slept soundly.

He walked over quietly and sat down next to Mavis on the edge of the bed before leaning over to gently kiss her cheek.

This kiss caused Mavis to slowly open her eyes.
