Chapter 239
“Found it” Howard’s eyes narrowed. His Adam’s apple bobbed, and he glanced at Yvette, hesitating to speak. Ultimately, he said nothing, turning to
leave
Yvettes eyes widened in shock. “Howard” she roared. “Stop right there?”
Howard passed, tuming back with a conflicted and troubled expression.
“Howard” Yvette took a step forward, gripping his arm tightly. Her eyes were red and swollen as she shook her head slowly, forcing out each word through gritted teeth You are not going anywhere
Yvette “Howard’s brow furrowed as he stared at her.
Finally, he raised his hand and pried her hand away. “About us… let’s talk when I get back.”
Yvette stumbled, taking two step back.
Howard took one last look at her and walked away.
“Howard Howard Behind him. Veette almost cried her eyes out.
“What is going on Miranda hurried to help her up. Miranda had no idea what was happening and could only piece together fragments of the truth from the few words she heard
Yvette gripped Miranda’s arm, tears welling up in her eyes. “Miranda, I want to see what he’s been doing behind my back.”
In the car. Hervey quickly noticed. “Mr. Howard Flynn, Ms. Young is following us
Howard was silent, his expression unchanged. “Let her follow
“Yes” According to Hervey’s information, they drove to the orphanage.
In fact, it was the director of the orphanage. Emily Porter, who called them and told them that the child had run back.
The child was only three years old. Because he was good–looking and healthy, there were many people who wanted to adopt him. However, the child was not very lucky.
The first couple who adopted him returned him after six months because they had a child of their own
Later, he was adopted by a second family. But after a year, the couple had relationship problems, filed for divorce, and went their separate ways. Thus, he was returned again, and it was this return that allowed Hervey to find him.
adoptions, his linle heart took a
The child was so young. He was abandoned at an orphanage in the first place. And then, with two consecutive failed ad tremendous toll
When Howard took him back from the orphanage, Emily hesitated, “Mr. Flynn, you must think carefully. Adopting a child is an act of kindness and virtue, for the child and for yourself”
The implication was that if Howard was not going to raise the child for life, he should not take the child away. The child had been returned twice, and his once cheerful personality turned quiet and shy. He couldn’t handle a third time.
Howard assured Emily. “Don’t worry. From the day I take him away, he will be my child.”
Howard gave the child the best material life and hired someone to take care of him, but Howard didn’t expect that he would run back to the orphanage,
When they arrived at the orphanage, Emily was waiting for them. “Mr. Flynn”
“Yes” Howard nodded slightly. He hadn’t sported the child, and his face stayed all serious. It hit him that he had been overlooking how the child felt. “Where’s the child? is he okay?”
“He is inside, eating,” said Emily.
Inside the room, the three–year–old child sat on a wooden stepladder chair.
Chapter 239
He was still too young. It wasn’t easy for him to run back to the orphanage. He ran out of Maplewood Bay and only found this place just now. His clothes got dirty and his face was covered in dust.
Tired and hungry, he sat in front of a plate with cookies Emily had given him. The little guy devoured them.
At a glance, Howard felt a pang in his heart. He subconsciously lightened his footsteps and walked up to the child. “Bobby”
Bobby’s cheeks were puffed out. Hearing someone calling him, he trembled violently. He looked up at Howard in a panic.
“Bobby.” Howard raised his hand, wanting to touch Bobby’s head.
However, Bobby quickly jumped down from the chair and ran to Emily, hugging her tightly and hiding behind her.
Howard’s raised hand fell empty.
Emily chuckled and patted Bobby. “What’s wrong, Hobby? This is Mr. Flynn. He has adopted you, and you’ll be a family from now on
“No” Bobby looked up, his big eyes filled with pleading.
“Ms. Porter, I don’t want to be adopted. I’m a good boy. Ms. Porter, let me stay here, okay?”
The director sighed helplessly, “Bobby, be good. Go with Mr. Flynn. You can live in a big house, eat delicious food, wear new clothes, and go to a good school…”
“No, I don’t want to No matter what Emily sa
Emily’s eyes were wet from his crying
Emily said, Bobby just cried and shook his head. I don’t want to
Looking at Howard, she was afraid that he would be angry, “Mr. Flynn, Bobby has been wronged before. Please don’t mind. Give him some time.” “I understand.” There was no displeasure on Howard’s face. He walked over with his cane, slowly squatted down, and reached out to Bobby.
“Bobby, come here: Howard hesitated for a few seconds and then said, “Come to Daddy”
Bobby’s small shoulders trembled, and he looked at Howard in disbelief, then at Emily, “Ms. Porter.”
Emily patted his little head encouragingly. “Did you hear that? You will have a father from now on. Mr. Flynn is your father,”
Bobby’s eyes were filled with tears, and it could be seen that he wavered.
A lonely child like Bobby was eager to have a home. However, the previous traiana was still etched in his heart, and he hesitated to come forward.
“Bobby, good boy,” Howard said slowly and gently. “I have been busy these past two days and haven’t had time to see you. But I won’t abandon you. Don’t worry, Bobby. You have a home now, and you won’t be sent back to the orphanage.”
Bobby listened carefully. Having been through a lot since he was a child, he understood these words, But his lips were pursed, and when he spoke, his voice was all choked up “Really?”
“Yes,” Howard said, extending his hand toward Bobby, his little finger hooked. “I will m make a pinky promise with you. I won’t lie to you, okay?” Bobby hesitated for a long time before finally raising his chubby hand and hooking it around Howard’s little finger. “No lying”
“No lying. I won’t lie to Robby Howard nodded.
Emily encouraged, “Bobby, why don’t you call him Daddy!”
“Da.. Daddy: Robby’s voice was still a little unnatural,
“Good boy, Hobby Howard’s heart skipped a beat. He opened his arms and took Bobby into his embrace.
At the door, Yvette save this scene. So did Miranda. By now, Miranda understood everything. Howard actually had a child. It was a child of the Flynn family, her great–grandson
–“Bobby” Miranda no longer paid attention to Yvelle. Overwhelmed with surprise, she rushed inside.
“Robby, it’s Great–Grandma. Bobby, you’re my good boy. Let me look at you…
At the door, Yvette’s eyes grew increasingly cold. She stared at them in astonishment, her eyes almost splitting open. “Howard, you treat me like
this. You will regret it…You will regret it.”
