The two little ones were whispering when Natalie spotted them.
She noticed them hiding. “What are you two doing over there?”
“Reconnaissance,” Lucas blurted out before quickly correcting himself. “No, no, we’re just getting to know our hero! Mr. Mercer is our idol.”
Getting to know him? Their idol? Patrick didn’t think so. The way those two were looking at him wasn’t how you look at an idol. It was more like they were watching a thief.
He was about to say something to the two of them when Darren emerged.
Seeing Natalie standing so close to Patrick, with Terence’s children beside her, a flare of irrational anger ignited within him.
So, Natalie was quite popular now.
Darren strode forward and grabbed Natalie’s arm. “Have you become this shameless since our divorce? You’ll take anyone who comes along?”
Patrick shoved Darren away. “Watch your mouth. You were never good enough for her.”
“Whether I’m good enough or not isn’t for you to decide. She is my wife.”
“Sir, even we kids know the term is ‘ex-wife,’” Lucas chimed in. “Are you so old that you don’t understand, or do you just refuse to face reality?”
Darren was furious.
Lucas chimed in, “That’s right, Natalie. You don’t need to listen to them. They’re the ones who are blind.”
“Natalie, the past is the past,” Darren said. “Come back with me now. Hanley would be so proud to have a mother like you. Your relationship could be repaired.”
Natalie scoffed. “Are you lecturing me now?”
Darren’s brow furrowed. “Don’t you want to fix things with your own child? Do you want Hanley to hate you forever? You’re his mother. When there’s a misunderstanding, shouldn’t you use your strengths to bridge the gap with him?”
“So even if the child is in the wrong, I’m the one who has to take the first step to bridge the gap?”
