In the Fudd family home.
Since Heaton had to look for Little Jelly Bean, he felt incredibly frantic.
Heaton immediately stopped the meeting and when he rushed home, he noticed on the spot a woman and his child in the courtyard.
Yanny was playing with Little Jelly Bean on the stone bench.
Heaton was dressed in a black suit as he stood on his lawn nearby. He called out coldly, "Get over here, Jelly Bean!"
The instant Little Jelly Bean noticed Heaton, she ran over with her short legs as she called out, "Papa!"
Heaton bent over and carried the wobbly little rascal up before sitting her on his arm as a gentle and fatherly gaze flashed across his cold glare. However, when he shifted his gaze to Yanny who was sitting by a stone table nearby, his gaze looked sharp and very defensive.
Heaton disciplined Little Jelly Bean. "So, you became the house empress when I wasn’t home, huh? Who allowed you to wander out on your own?"
Little Jelly Bean immediately straightened her little back and spoke confidently while pouting her lips, "Grandpa allowed me to! Uncle Lewis and Horton were accompanying me too! I wasn't alone!"
"Who's that woman?" Heaton asked as he glanced over at Yanny. He found her familiar but was unable to recall where he had actually met her before.
Little Jelly Bean pointed at Yanny who was nearby with her white and chubby little fingers and said, "Daddy, that's Aunty Yanny!"
"Yanny?"
If Heaton remembered correctly, Yanny happened to be Shayne's girlfriend, right?
Although Heaton never really asked Shayne about his personal love life, Shayne had been with Yanny for quite a number of years. Even if he did not know her that well, he was aware of who Yanny was.
However, Yanny was already walking over toward Heaton as she boldly introduced herself, "Greetings, President Fudd. I’m Yanny. I'm not sure if you still remember me or not."
A playful glint flashed across Heaton's eyes as he said, "Oh, it's you. Of course, I remember you. It's really difficult to forget about you when you look like this."
Yanny was speechless.
Heaton looked like a really serious person and if people were not close to him, they would not be able to tell how flippant he was. However, Shayne was different. Shayne was a complicated man and although he was playful, he was cold and distant as well. He was intimidating and very difficult to get close to. Even though he was able to warm up to people, his intimidating aura would still remain.
The cold demeanor Heaton displayed would cause no stranger to approach him.
However, it was surprising to Yanny that such a cold person would tease her.
Despite that, Yanny had seen all kinds of people and encountered all kinds of scenarios in the last two years. She was actually quite relaxed when facing Heaton. Yanny cracked a calm smile and said, "I actually thought President Fudd would not bother to interact with people like me."
As Little Jelly Bean hugged Heaton's neck, she pleaded childishly, "Daddy, can we have Aunty Yanny stay for a meal?"
Heaton rarely allowed unknown women to stay for a meal. However, that day would be an exception as he said, "It seems to me that my Little Jelly Bean really likes you, Miss Joy. I'm not sure if you'll be free to stay and share a meal with us?"
Yanny was a little stunned and found his intentions interesting.
It was not like Heaton was unaware of her relationship with Shayne. However, he was still so blatantly inviting her for a meal.
She did not expect someone as serious as Heaton would enjoy drama since he did not even want to let go of his best friend's woman. He was truly insane. Since that was the case, Yanny decided to do things according to his wishes.
Yanny also wanted to ask him about Shayne as well.
Yanny cracked a bright smile as she said, "Alright, since President Fudd wants to invite me then don't mind if I do."
Little Jelly Bean was the happiest as she clapped her chubby little white hands while moving around in Heaton’s arms, elated. She cheered, "Yay! I want to tell grandpa that I have a mother now!"
After the little rascal got down from Heaton's arms, she ran into the mansion with her little legs.
Heaton was a little troubled as he rubbed his temple and spoke in a funny tone, "I hope you won't mind, Miss Yanny. Little Jelly Bean is too blunt as a child."
Yanny was not a stickler as she replied with a smile, "Oh, Little Jelly Bean is so adorable and smart. I absolutely adore her so why would I mind?"
"Well, since Little Jelly Bean likes you so much, what do you say to being her godmother, Miss Joy?"
