Chapter 459 Fake Daddy

Benjamin was stunned.

“They have to stay in your belly that long?”

“Um… not exactly.”

Dawn answered vaguely, “We have to wait until you’re a little older. Then you can be the big boss, and whether it’s a little brother or sister, they’ll all have to listen to you!”

That explanation finally convinced Benjamin. He stopped obsessing over it and just muttered a few more things.

Dawn didn’t quite catch it, but she relaxed anyway.

She’d finally gotten through this one.

Otherwise, with Benjamin’s determination to get to the bottom of everything, who knew how far this would’ve gone?

Hannah finished making breakfast and hurried over when she saw them coming downstairs. “Come eat! Today’s best dish–scrambled–egg sandwiches!”

Then she glanced behind them and probed, “Dawn, why isn’t Ethan down yet?”

“Huh?”

He wasn’t in the room.

Dawn checked the car in the yard. Seeing it was still there, she said, “He’s probably in the study handling some work. Let’s eat first. Don’t worry about him.”

“Okay, okay… Then hurry and try it. If you want anything else, tell me right away.”

Hannah’s eyes crinkled to slits as she smiled, and she hurried out to the yard.

The moment she stepped out, she went straight to Tara, who was trimming flowers.

“It’s done! They made up!”

Tara didn’t react at first. “What’s done?”

“Come on! Ethan and Dawn made up!” Hannah said mysteriously. “Didn’t you hear them

talking about getting married? Those two are planning another wedding. A huge one. A once- in–a–lifetime kind. This time, you can really go all out!”

Last time, because Ethan told Tara that Dawn didn’t like anything too flashy, they’d kept it simple.

But this time was different.

This time, it was what they both wanted.

Tara got excited for two seconds, then hesitated. “But … I’m already old. My taste probably won’t match theirs anymore. Forget it… Let the young people handle it themselves.”

What if I miss something and upset Dawn?

Hannah thought about it. “That’s true.

“Then just wait and see if Ethan gives you any assignments!”

The villa was lively again. Benjamin helped Tara arrange flowers and accidentally soaked himself by knocking over a vase. It eventually turned into a small water fight among several people.

Ethan sat on the couch nearby, glancing over now and then with a faint smile in his eyes.

Dawn had just taken Benjamin upstairs to change when she got a call from Mason.

There was an important client the company needed to meet at noon.

She was hesitating about whether to bring Benjamin along when Ethan came in.

“Oh, you mean this client really hates kids?”

Mason was puzzled.

“I get it. I’ll figure something else out.”

Dawn sighed and hung up, worry written all over her face.

Ethan could tell she was plotting something questionable and sighed quietly. Then he said, “I’ll take him.”

“What? Would that be okay?”

Dawn answered right away, then felt she sounded too eager and laughed awkwardly. “I mean,

don’t worry. Benjamin is super well–behaved. He definitely won’t cause trouble. Right, buddy?”

She looked down and frantically winked at the kid.

Cause as much trouble as possible. Payback for last night!

Whether he understood or not, the kid laughed happily and was more than willing to go to work with his “fake” daddy.

They left together, each getting into their own car.

Dawn raised her hand and waved.

“Bye! Hope you two … get along well!”

Benjamin struggled in his car seat and waved back with a grin. “Bye, Dawn!”

Ethan’s eyes lingered for a moment. He waited for Dawn’s car to leave before starting his engine.

He glanced at the rearview mirror.

The kid was playing with a toy, humming and acting out little scenes.

“Benjamin.”

“Yeah?”

Benjamin was in a great mood. In his soft little voice, he asked, “Fake Daddy, what is it?”

Fake Daddy?

Ethan took a slow breath. “Is your real dad busy?”

“Yeah.”

Thinking about how dirty Aidan looked every day, Benjamin’s face scrunched up. “Daddy’s fixing Dawn’s house. He’s super tired every day.”

Fixing Dawn’s house? So it’s going to be for Dawn?

Ethan’s gaze hardened a little. “How do you know it’s for Dawn?”

“Because it is. Daddy said we’d move there later and all live together with Dawn.”

Benjamin pouted. “Nope.”

Ethan instantly felt better.

Then the clueless kid added, “But sometimes Dawn would leave as soon as she woke didn’t even eat.”

Ethan was speechless.
