After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 1013

Chapter 1013 Expectations of Home

Theodore didn't feel good after Laird's words. He thought his father was meddling and being overly worried. As a golden bachelor, since his marriage was undisclosed, he was in high demand, and Little Bunny had gotten lucky.
"I don't want to waste time talking to you. If she asks for it, you better compensate her properly!" Laird didn't want to talk with Theodore anymore. He felt like his heart would give out if he talked to him too much.
Theodore simply nodded dismissively. "I got it."
"Get lost," said Laird unkindly.
Theodore stood up and left.
Laird watched Theodore's back as he walked away and sighed heavily. It served Theodore right. He would end up alone for the rest of his life!
Theodore came back at 5:30 pm with Nicholas. They walked one after the other, with Theodore leading the way. It was like they were strangers. Nicholas never liked Theodore from the start, plus they'd only met a few times before now, so his dislike of him was evident.
Theodore wasn't patient with children either. Seeing that Nicholas wasn't talkative made him not bother saying much either.
"I've brought your grandson back," said Theodore nonchalantly to Laird when they arrived home.
Laird glanced at him then quickly changed expressions towards Nicholas. "Welcome back Nicholas! Was school hard today?"
Theodore almost thought he heard wrong.
Was this that old man? He was so scary while being gentle, Theodore thought to himself.
"Grandpa!" Nicholas ran into Laird's arms affectionately since they were close. Laird hugged him tightly as well. An emotional scene between grandfather and grandson played out before them all.
Wasn't this cringe-worthy?
Theodore turned around wanting to leave but saw Little Bunny walking out of her room towards them. She had changed clothes and removed her makeup. After removing her makeup, he found that Little Bunny looked even more attractive than before.
Little Bunny ignored Theodore as she walked past him directly into the living room calling out, "Nicholas."
Nicholas came running over excitedly when he saw his mother and exclaimed, "Mom!"
The short legs carried him straight into a tight hug around Little Bunny's thigh, which became overly affectionate very quickly indeed.
Little bunny squatted down and held onto Nicholas in an embrace, while Theodore's mood suddenly soured.
When he went to pick up Nicholas just now, the expression on his son's face was cold and indifferent. Theodore thought that this was just Nicholas' personality, always so icy and aloof. After all, Oscar had the same kind of personality when they were kids, and he was used to people like that. But seeing how Nicholas treated Laird and Little Bunny at this moment, he felt a little jealous.
Theodore angrily went back to his room. No one else noticed his mood.
Little Bunny took Nicholas by the hand and led him towards the living room.
"Mom, aren't you supposed to come back only once a week? Why did you come back so soon? Did you finish filming?" Nicholas asked in his cute voice.
Nicholas was handsome; he inherited all of Little Bunny's and Theodore's good looks. One time, Susan saw him and was stunned by his appearance. She couldn't help thinking that it wasn't fair for someone like Theodore to have such a handsome son.
"I came back with your dad this time because there is something we need to take care of. I'll leave tomorrow morning."
"Tomorrow morning?" Nicholas seemed reluctant.
"When I'm done filming my movie, I'll push some work aside so I can spend more time with you at home." She promised.
"Mom, you need to keep your promises."
"Okay. Do you have homework to do today?"
"Mr Smith asked us to plant seeds at home and observe how they grow." Replied Nicholas quickly.
"Do you want me to help you plant those seeds in our backyard right now?"
"Yes!" the boy exclaimed, excited, as he took his mom's hand eagerly towards the garden area. They planted small seeds together with the gardener's assistance while having fun playing around even though dirt got on their clothes.
Theodore stood by the window watching them play outside instead of going back into his room for a nap. He originally planned to take a nap but sleep eluded him anyway due to being sexually frustrated. He lit up a cigarette on his balcony before noticing how happy both Little Bunny and their son looked while planting seeds together in the backyard garden. Seeing them smile made him feel warm inside despite himself not being one who usually values family life much. It gave him an unexpected feeling that family could be beautiful, which made even himself feel cheesy.
Although he despised himself, he couldn't move his feet or take his eyes off of them playing. Theodore watched their every move with a fixed gaze.
After some time, the servant approached them and respectfully called out to them, "Ma'am, young master, Master Laird says it's time for dinner. He wants you to come to eat."
"Okay." Little Bunny was friendly towards the servant as she smiled and said, "I'll take Nicholas to wash up first. Let him know."
"Yes."
Little Bunny led Nicholas back to their room covered in dirt. As they walked down the hallway, they ran into Theodore.
Theodore saw their appearance and furrowed his eyebrows slightly. "Aren't we supposed to be having dinner? Where are you going?"
"I'll give Nicholas a bath first." Replied Little Bunny.
Theodore nodded slightly.
Just as she was about to leave with their son in tow, Theodore stopped them abruptly, "Wait a minute."
Although Little Bunny was getting impatient, she still turned around and looked at him.
"You're going to bathe him?"
"Yea, since Nicholas was only six years old he didn't know how to bathe himself yet."
Plus since she came back once in a while, many things needed doing for her son too.
"But he's a boy." Reminded Theodore.
"..."
"I'll help him bathe." Said he.
Little Bunny froze for a moment, wondering if she had heard correctly, but before anything else could be said, Nicholas spoke up, "I want Mom!"
"How can you let a woman help you bathe while you're a man?!" Theodore scolded him harshly before grabbing hold of his hand roughly.
Little Bunny watched their backs disappear into the distance hesitantly. Although she wasn't feeling reassured about leaving Nicholas alone with Theodore, she ultimately decided that this might be one of those rare moments where he took on fatherly responsibilities willingly, so it would be best not to interfere too much.
Nicholas wasn't happy at all. Being dragged along like that, he turned around pleadingly towards his mom for help. Nicholas had Little Bunny's personality; he was someone who hated causing trouble unnecessarily. So even though unhappy right now, he kept quiet.
Little Bunny gave the boy an encouraging smile along with a thumbs-up gesture before letting go reluctantly. Knowing that mom wouldn't help him this time, Nicholas walked into the bathroom with his dad reluctantly with a long face.
