Chapter 1068 Negotiating With Son


    Chapter 1068 Negotiating with Son


    The little one giggled mysteriously, covering his mouth with his hands. He stood on the bed vividly


    reporting the situation.


    "In fact, it was when Daddy came back at night and instructed the bodyguards to take good care of you


    that I overheard it and came looking for you on my own."


    "Mommy, you may not know, but I have run away from home before. It''s easy to sneak out and avoid


    surveince. Daddy is probably still sound asleep now. It''s best to sneak out on a rainy day!"


    He stood with his hands on his hips, extremely proud.


    The bright blue pupils shimmered, and the long eyshes blinked gently, revealing a hint of cunning in


    the depths of the eyes.


    In Mavis''s eyes, it was just too cute.


    "So Mommy, can I stay here please? I want to sleep with you."


    Alistair came over, hugged her arm, and rubbed his soft face against her arm, acting cute.


    Who can resist such a cute boy?


    Mavis squeezed his little face fondly, "Okay, then I''ll contact them morning to send you back."


    "Okay!"

    When Alistair was five years old, he was able to sleep with his mother for the first time, dancing with


    excitement.


    "Do you tell stories?"


    "Do you know how to sing? Can you sing lubies?"


    "Can I sleep on your arm?"


    "Mommy! Mommy!"


    The little kid was chattering away, calling out "Mommy" every minute.


    The whole bedroom was filled with his youthful and excited voice, apanied by the sound of rain


    outside the window, making it particrly warm.


    "Before, I used to dream of you every night. You would hold me while sleeping. This scene appeared


    countless times in dreams, and now it hase true!"


    There was a deskmp on the bedside table, and Mavis was lying on her side blocking the light with


    her body. She gazed tenderly at the little kid in her arms and asked, "Does Anthony often talk to you


    about me?"


    Alistair blinked and thought for a moment, "It''s not something that is mentioned often, but Daddy would


    show me pictures of you and tell me not to forget what you look like. There''s a wooden que in the


    ancestral hall with your name on it, and every year on your birthday, Daddy would take me there."


    "Great-Grandma said that you suffered a lot to give birth to me, so I should always remember how


    good you''re. So, Mommy, I really love you..."


    Mavis felt warm and her nose was tingling as she leaned down to kiss her son''s forehead in response


    to his affection. "I love you too. From now on, I won''t leave you again. Now go to sleep."


    Alistair obediently nodded and closed his eyes under the covers.


    Mavis stared at his features with hot eyes.


    Before returning home this time, she was nervous that her son wouldn''t recognize or want anything to


    do with her.


    But over the years, Paloma never forgot about Mavis as part of the Cahan family and often spoke


    well of her in front of Alistair, which made himpletely epting of her now.


    Paloma had always been a very good elder who had taken care of Mavis when she was part of the


    Cahan family before.


    When they meet again someday in person, Mavis will have to thank Paloma properly for everything she


    had done for them both.


    Knock knock -


    As she thought about it, there came another knock on the door.


    She instinctively looked at her son; fortunately he wasn''t disturbed by polite knocking sounds.


    Putting on shoes and getting out from bed quietly, she opened up the electronic door with a click


    sound.


    A tall man''s figure appeared before her eyes all wet from rainwater.


    His short hair clumped together because it got wet by raindrops; water droplets kept falling off its tips


    while his handsome face also became drenched by rainwater flowing along his jawline into his chest


    cavity.


    Even through Anthony''s white silk shirt, one could faintly see glimpses of pectoral muscles and


    abdominal muscles, which were exquisitely defined lines running across them all over their surface


    area like an intricatework patterned design work.


    Who knew opening up this door would reveal such an enticing appearance from Anthony?


    She blinked unnaturally while avoiding eye contact with him. "It''s 3:30am... what are you doing here?"


    Anthony wiped away some water stains from under his chin then chuckled lightly, "Ever since you came


    back, your son has been like a lost soul wandering around aimlessly... he can be taken away even in


    midnight hours... so why did Ie here?"


    Mavis felt that there was something prickly hidden behind Anthony''s words...


    He looked fine just looking at him but once he started speaking, he could make people angry or


    dislikeable right away...


    "So what? You came all this way just because my return caused trouble?"


    Anthony raised an eyebrow without answering directly - not answering meant agreeing though!


    Mavis''s anger red up. "You need to get it straight, our son wasn''t kidnapped by me. He came on his


    own ord. If you can''t even take care of your own son, then it''s clear how little you care about him.


    And yet you daree and question me."


    He snickered and retorted, "Compared to a mother who disappeared for five years and showed no


    concern for her child, I seem to be doing pretty well as a father. It''s not up to you to judge."


    Mavis red at him, genuinely angry.


    "If you came all the way here just to argue with me, then congrattions - our son is already asleep


    and I don''t feel like arguing with you anymore. Let him sleep peacefully here tonight and tomorrow I will


    safely send him off to the kindergarten."


    Anthony''s lips curled slightly as he asked in a low voice, "Is this a discussion or notification?"


    "... A discussion," Mavis replied.


    "I don''t agree," he refused bluntly.


    Mavis bit her lip in frustration but there was nothing she could do.


    "So what will it take for you to agree? Money? Whatever amount of money you want is fine! Or maybe


    we can make a schedule - every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday Alistair cane over quietly while


    on Monday, Wednesday Friday and Sunday he''ll stay at Cahan Residence like before," she


    suggested.


    "That could work," he smirked evilly as they discussed things calmly together. "As long as you cut ties


    with that man overseas and settle back in Suham."


    "You''re being unreasonable!" She had worked hard overseas these past few years thanks only due


    Moore''s help during the most difficult times when many employees quit their jobs. But Moore stayed


    behind willing enough fight alongside her until the end. Even if bankruptcy was inevitable, they would


    go out find some work again before continuing their venture anew.


    "How much does that man mean to you?" Anthony''s coldness deepened in his eyes as he tried walking


    past her into the house without another word.


    "Wait!" Mavis immediately blocked the door panel, preventing him from entering further.


    He lifted an eyebrow suggestively saying, "Have second thoughts? Do want your son or do want that


    foreigner?"
