“Fine, I’ll take it as I owed you in my previous life. I’ll let you off the night after tomorrow.”
“Oh yeah, Daddy’s the best!” Ever since Daniel first called him ‘Daddy’, he has been very used to saying it.
He finally has a daddy.
Although it’s godfather, it was better than Aiden who won’t accept him. It was better than nothing.
The kid was very contented. “Mommy, take me along the night after tomorrow.”
“How about taking your daddy along too?” It was the red light and Adam shamelessly demanded.
“Not possible.” Isabel objected.
She had not seen Celia for several years. If it’s possible, she would like to drink a little.
With Adam around, she wouldn’t be at ease.
“Petty, not even if we go dutch?”
“No.” Isabel persevered, no matter who it was.
“What if Aiden were to go with you? Also no?” Adam softly mumbled.
Once he mentioned Aiden, Isabel didn’t respond.
Aiden was her kryptonite. Once she heard his name, her heart would race and jump out of her.
The Bentley reached the car park of the film set.
Adam held onto Daniel’s hand and walked into the film set.
The entire time he disregarded the paparazzi around them.
They can take their photographs and he’ll walk his walk.
Isabel walked closely behind and she had never seen a film set. “Daniel, don’t be frightened, you can ask. Don’t be worried if you can’t act well, take it as a learning experience.”
“I know, don’t be worried.” Daniel looked back at Isabel and did a gesture for her to relax.
“Yes, relax. I’m here. No one within the crew will dare to bully my godson.”
They started filming.
Isabel was curious as a cat and sat on the chair to watch the filming take place. Before filming, the director would let Daniel revise the script several times. She thought that it would be difficult for her son to get into character during his first session. Unexpectedly, Daniel only rehearsed twice, and then when the filming began with the other actors, he was able to be complete on the first take!
A person sat beside her and she didn’t even realize it.
Adam looked at the unprepared Isabel and said, “I heard that you went to Howard Group and saw Aiden.”
“Yes,” Isabel answered.
“I even heard that Aiden personally spoke up for you. Isabel, you managed to gain some attention for yourself.”
Isabel was watching Daniel and came to her senses, “Adam, what do you mean?”
“Wow, you are the only woman who dares to speak to me like that. Isabel, do you think that you have the support of Aiden and you can disregard and disrespect me?”
“I won’t dare.” Isabel looked serious but she didn’t like Adam’s tone as if she was being kept by Aiden.
“After all these years, I want to ask you why did you say during that wedding that you were pregnant with my child?”
Isabel twisted the corner of her blouse and stopped speaking.
He had seen all the tabloid news about Aiden and Isabel.
He felt that Aiden and Isabel were perfect together and definitely had a future together.
Furthermore, he also liked Daniel, as if he was his own. Just like an uncle likes a nephew.
That’s why he wanted Daniel as his godson just to trigger the emotionally retarded Aiden.
Aiden’s every reaction showed that he had immense regard for Isabel. Perhaps he was only tight-lipped and didn’t want to admit it.
“I didn’t, I’m used to the life I have now. Adam, please don’t bring up this topic again, okay?”
Isabel’s head drooped. That time she made a mistake and slept with Adam, thereafter she gave birth to Daniel. That was a double mistake and can never go back.
“No.” Does Isabel think that Adam is overbusy?
It’s all because of trying to get Aiden to settle down. If Daniel was Aiden’s child, then everything would be perfect.
Then his father will not force him to have another big wedding.
“Mr. Howard, I’m not feeling well and I’ll wait at the dressing room for Daniel. When he finishes, please ask him to look for me there.” Isabel stood up and escaped.
“Hey, are you taking me as a nanny?” Adam ground his teeth as he looked at Isabel run away.
It was always others who served him. Today he had to take care of an unheard-of little kid.
Isabel ran directly to the entrance of the set. Her mind was in a mess. Everything that had anything to do with Aiden was entangled in a mess.
“Swoosh…” As Isabel was gasping for air figuring out what to do, a car stopped suddenly beside her and immediately a man rushed down and shoved Isabel into the car.
