Who’s the Dog Now? novel Chapter 6

Ever since he was born, he'd cry in anyone's arms, his chubby hands reaching only for Lennon. It annoyed the Spencers, but they couldn't help but hold out a sliver of hope and let Lennon give it a try.

And sure enough, the moment he was in Lennon's arms, he stopped crying, his tiny hands clinging to Lennon's collar as if afraid of being put down.

The second he was set down, he'd burst into tears.

After that, everyone knew that Ron Spencer's favorite person was Lennon.

Ronald Spencer, or Ron for short, was practically raised by Lennon.

Naomi knew this was also why Herbert and the others looked down on Lennon more and more.

After all, Herbert was Ronald's biological brother, yet his younger brother was siding with an outsider, favoring the illegitimate son.

It wasn't as if Lennon could choose the circumstances of his own birth.

If he could, who would want to be an illegitimate child?

As Naomi was watching Lennon, the man, whose gaze had been lowered, suddenly looked up... right at her.

In that instant, Naomi's heart pounded in her chest as if she'd been struck by something.

But... there was no denying it, Lennon was still incredibly handsome today.

To be honest, everyone in the room, from the elders to the staff, was quite good-looking.

Those in high society possessed a certain aura, a captivating charm cultivated by wealth and power.

Besides, how could they have such beautiful children without good genes?

“Lennon.”

Her mouth moved faster than her brain, and she called out his name.

“Hmm?”

Her calling out to him, however, was something Lennon hadn't expected. He thought she would pretend not to know him, after all... A flicker of darkness passed through Lennon's eyes.

Naomi noticed it too, but... in that moment, she didn't know why, a sense of panic washed over her. Unsure of what to say, she lowered her head again.

She was walking next to Lennon, not by choice, but because she couldn't move forward with all the elders in front of her.

She could only walk side-by-side with the person next to her.
