Baby Alliance: Helping Daddy Get A Rich Mommy novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136 Startled by the Ringing of the Phone

“I’ll go check on the goldfish that Grandpa kept!” Jameson quickly found something to occupy himself with. However, Joaquin didn’t budge, as he was still brooding on the subject while remaining rooted to the spot.

After spending some time in deep thought, Meredith finally picked up her phone. She was determined to prevent Pierre from getting the chance to spend a long time with Selena, as their circumstances would be prone to more changes the longer they were together. Although she knew she had to find a way to get them to come home, she also realized there was nothing that she could do when it came to Pierre, so she could only try to mess with Selena.

“Big Ben, I have another favor to ask. I hope you won’t give yourself away like last time,” she said. However, when she spoke, she didn’t realize someone was staring at her.

“Joaquin, why aren’t you going to check out the goldfish with me?” Jameson’s voice came through. Hearing that, Joaquin was surprised as he didn’t expect his brother to come back for him. In the meantime, Meredith hung up as soon as she heard Jameson’s voice, only to lock eyes with Joaquin when she glanced in the direction of the door.

“Mommy, I lost my stuff, so I came back in search of it. Have you seen my pen?” It was rare for Joaquin to address her as ‘Mommy’; he even neglected to call his father ‘Daddy’, for he had always been a rather aloof boy.

Meredith’s hand trembled while she thought to herself, Since when was he here? “I didn’t see it, so you should try somewhere else.”

“Okay.” With that, Joaquin left with Jameson.
