Chapter 1059 He Didnt Come; Shouldnt Have Expected

    Chapter 1059 He Didn''t Come; Shouldn''t Have Expected


    Bryleigh couldn''t stop thinking about what had just happened. She had noticed the woman earlier, even


    though she was wearing a mask and a hat that covered her eyes, but her figure was great and she


    seemed to have a good demeanor.


    Alistair, that little brat, said she was his mother''s sister? Anthony''s short-lived wife had such a young


    sister in the family? And Bryleigh heard that the woman was a foreigner...


    The more she thought about it, the more rmed Bryleigh felt. She quickly pulled out her phone and


    dialed a number.


    "Help me check what rtives Anthony''s wife has in her family. You have so many questions; someone


    is trying to take Mrs. Cahan''s position right now. I need to get rid of any obstacles," Bryleigh said.


    Aunt? Did she think she could climb up half of the Cahan family tree by being rted to them?


    Dream on!


    *


    For two consecutive days, Mavis found opportunities to visit her son at kindergarten. Even if each time


    onlysted less than half an hour with him, it made her feel fulfilled.


    "Mommy~" Alistair called out softly like he was being spoiled before realizing he got it wrong and


    covering his mouth quickly before asking quietly, "Tomorrow afternoon there will be sports day at


    school; will youe, Mommy?"


    He heard other kids'' parents woulde together with them for this event and he had been looking


    forward to it for so long.


    Mavis hesitated for some time without saying anything when faced with this parent-child activity,


    because Anthony would definitely be there too - if Anthony came then, she couldn''t show up.


    Seeing that Mavis didn''t answer after some time passed by, Alistair already guessed the answer, "It''s


    okay if you don''te. I know you seem to have many difficultiestely."


    Her son was so understanding, which made Mavis heartbroken as she stroked his small head while


    pointing towards another building not far away. "That is where the hotel I live is located. I can watch you


    from above and take pictures of you from afar during sports day."


    "Okay! Although you won''t participate in person, this also counts as spending time with me! Hehe~"


    ...


    The next day, Zack stood on an empty space in front of his desk reporting seriously to Anthony,


    "Sheldon Alford over there has been identified as our prime suspect regarding Alistair''s kidnapping


    case - not only that but we also cooperated with NIB investigation which revealed their involvement in


    falsely using Alistair causing injury during their previous fight."


    Anthony had a serious expression on his face, as he lightly twisted the ring on his left hand''s ring finger


    with his right hand. "He endured for five years, but couldn''t take it anymore?"


    Zack sighed. "Recently, the Cahan Group''s new partnerships have been constantly intercepted and


    we''ve had to go through a lot of trouble to get them back. I suspect that they''re behind it, but I don''t


    know why they suddenly started pressuring us and scheming against us."


    Anthony sneered. "There''s never a shortage of ''whys''."


    In the beginning, out of gratitude for Jaqueline saving his life, he endured and chose to peacefully


    coexist with Sheldon in secret agreement with him.


    Now that Sheldon struck first and even targeted his son in this scheme, this ount must be settled.


    "A tiger needs its teeth pulled out and ws cut off before it can safely stay in its cage without causing


    any trouble. Don''t you think so?"


    Zack instantly understood what he meant. "Alright then, we have to let them know that the Cahan


    Group isn''t easy to bully."


    Before they could finish their conversation, another assistant knocked on their office door.


    "Mr. Cahan, Miss Bryleigh Padi is here."


    Anthony quickly turned cold again. "I''m busy."


    The assistant outside said again, "She said she only wants to talk business today... no personal


    matters."


    *


    1 PM.


    The kindergarten gate was wide open.


    The children were divided into several lines obediently waiting excitedly for their parents'' arrival.


    The colorful sports track was already set up on the yground.


    After a few more minutes passed by, gradually some parents entered into the kindergarten one after


    another.


    Alistair always stood on tiptoe hoping to see his father''s handsome face which would suppress all other


    dads when he arrived at school.


    But every time it wasn''t Anthony.


    He waited anxiously yet nervously each time.


    Half an hour passed by; almost all other children''s parents were present except him along with few


    others who were still holding hands of teachers led by the principal.


    He couldn''t wait any longer; feeling disappointed every time made him feel unbearable agony inside.


    He forcefully released himself from the teacher''s grip and ran out of kindergarten without looking back


    even though someone was calling after him repeatedly, but he didn''t care about anything else at that


    moment.


    Until finally, he was stopped by the bodyguard who had been hiding outside all along.


    "Mr. Alistair where are you going?"


    Alistair grabbed onto his sleeve tightly, "Where is my daddy? Is there traffic jam? Can you call him?"


    Of course the bodyguard would fulfill Alistair''s request. "Don''t worry. Just wait here."


    After making a phone call which Alistair couldn''t hear properly due being too short heighted, the


    bodyguard kept saying "Okay","Understood","Got It".


    After the phone call ended, the bodyguard crouched down and exined, "There''s an urgent matter


    with Mr. Cahan. He might not be able toe. Can I apany you instead?"


    Alistair slowly released his grip on the bodyguard''s sleeve, feeling his heart sink.


    "Did my daddy... did he not receive an invitation to the parent-child sports day at my school?"


    "Mr. Cahan definitely received it," the bodyguard paused mid-sentence, realizing his mistake before


    quickly adding, "Maybe... maybe he just forgot. After all, Mr. Cahan manages both thepany and


    family affairs. He''s very busy. Can you try to understand him?"


    Alistair bit his lip and asked again, "Is Spencer also organizing a sports day at their school campus?"


    The bodyguard understood immediately. "Don''t worry about it. If there is a need for Spencer of the


    White family to attend such an event, it will be handled by Mr. Malcolm White and them instead. And


    Zack just said that Mr. Cahan is in the headquarters building."


    "What about Bryleigh? Is she here too?"


    "How did you know that?" The bodyguard asked back.


    Alistair''s face stiffened.


    He had only guessed before but didn''t expect that bad woman was really here - still in Daddy''s


    His Daddy promised him days ago that he wouldn''t have any contact with her anymore.


    His Daddy didn''t keep his promises!


    The more he thought about it, the angrier Alistair became as he furrowed his eyebrows tightly together.


    Sensing Alistair''s bad mood, the Bodyguards tried cheering up him by saying, "Little young master, I''ll


    apany you for some fun games inside?"


    "No thanks." He refused without hesitation, "You''re not my daddy or mommy anyway, so why bother


    joining me?"


    Actually though - He should have known better than anyone else by now what kind of father he had


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    been these past two years: never picking him up from school nor apanying him during parent-


    child activities held regrly. How could he think this time would be different?


    "These boring childish games are just a waste of time for Daddy anyway," He huffed arrogantly while


    being extremely sulky; "Forget it! I don''t like these stupid little games either!"


    He grumbled while shooing them away rudely, "Just leave me alone already!"


    With those words spoken out loud, he ran wildly with short legs and entered the kindergarten without


    looking back. His small figure disappeared among the many children.


    The two bodyguards of the Cahan family looked at each other.


    "Parent-child activities require both parents to participate. Isn''t this just targeting?"


    Another exnation: Actually, when Alistair was only three years old and just started attending the


    nursery, Mr. Cahan had already participated in this kind of parent-child activity. Because only his


    father came with him and Mr. Cahan''s face was too handsome, many eyes in the nursery were fixed


    on him. There were also single mothers who chatted with Mr. Cahan... and so on. Mr. Cahan was


    worried that it would affect Alistair, so he stoppeding to these meaningless activities.


    Both of them sighed together, "I hope that Alistair can understand Mr. Cahan."
