Love me or leave me (Rebecca and Theodore) novel Chapter 276

"No, I don't want to!" Jeremy yelled, his resistance fiercer than ever before.

"Let Jeremy come in," Stacey said with a touch of amusement in her voice.

The room outside fell silent, and a moment later, the door creaked open. Jeremy, his eyes shining with determination, tried to rush toward Stacey like a rocket. However, after just one step, Hayden swiftly intervened, grabbing him by the collar. Jeremy shouted angrily, "Bad Daddy! Liar!"

Hayden carried Jeremy over to Stacey. 'Tonight is supposed to be the most romantic night for Becky and me, and it is been ruined by this little troublemaker,' Hayden thought to himself. He set Jeremy down, sighed deeply, and then cast an apologetic glance at Stacey, who was wearing her elegant bridal veil. He apologized, "I am really sorry. I should have kept a better eye on Jeremy."

"Mommy, from today, you are my real mommy!" Jeremy exclaimed happily as he leaped into Stacey's arms.

Stacey, her eyes twinkling with amusement, ruffled Jeremy's hair. "Yes, from now on, I am your mom, and you are my little one," she replied warmly.

"Yeah, I am so happy!" Jeremy looked up at the white veil covering Stacey's face with a mix of curiosity and puzzlement. He reached out to lift it, intrigued by the unfamiliar fabric. But before he could touch it, Hayden swooped in and picked him up again. This time, Hayden carried Jeremy out of the room with a firm but gentle grip.

Jeremy squirmed and flailed his arms, his protest growing louder, but it was no use. Hayden took him straight to Audrey. He looked at Audrey and asked, "Mom, could you please help me look after Jeremy tonight?"

Audrey quickly agreed and took Jeremy into her arms. Jeremy, still upset, turned his back on Hayden in defiance. Hayden was silent for a moment, then explained, "Tonight is special. If I am not with Ms. Becky, she will be very sad."

Jeremy, still fuming, retorted, "I can also stay with Ms. Beck- No, I mean, Mommy!" He quickly corrected himself mid-sentence, realizing that Hayden had tricked him into calling her Ms. Becky. Jeremy's eyes flashed with a mix of anger and hurt as he looked up at Hayden. "It is all your fault!" If it were not for Hayden, he would not have said "Ms. Becky".

Hayden realized his mistake and quickly corrected himself, "Yes, your mom, my wife. But Jeremy, tonight is a very special day, it is my wedding day with your mom. If I am not with her, it would be very disrespectful. You wouldn't want that, would you?"

Jeremy was confused, not fully understanding, and looked at Hayden suspiciously. "Are you tricking me?"
