Chapter 133: 133 Are You Still Shameless?
Chapter 133: Chapter 133 Are You Still Shameless?
Hope Williams decisively and mercilessly pulled up the blanket, cursing softly within the cocoon of bedding, “A father with no sense of fatherhood, teaching them all sorts of nonsense every single day.”
Waylon Lewis sat helplessly on the bed, looking at the small lump under the covers and then at the doorway, feeling utterly frustrated in his heart.
The next day, Luke and Willow got up bright and early. Alitzel Williams, who was accustomed to rising at dawn, instantly felt her mood lift upon seeing the two children come downstairs.
It was like suddenly gaining a pair of dragon-and-phoenix twins for grandchildren. She had been worried about her son’s lineage, not expecting the issue had already been resolved.
Looking at the two rosy-cheeked babies, Alitzel found them more lovable the more she looked.
“Luke, Willow, grandma’s little treasures,” Alitzel said with a beaming smile as she pulled the children close. “Luke, Willow, where is your mommy? How come it’s only you two coming down?”
Luke pursed his little lips, “Last night, mommy and bad daddy were fighting on the bed; bad daddy said mommy was tired.”
“Fighting?”
“Yeah,” Luke nodded, “then bad daddy kicked us out, he said he was going to make us a little brother.”
“Pfft…” passing by, Wyatt Lewis spat out a mouthful of water.
Alitzel blinked, instantly understanding, “What is Waylon Lewis up to, telling the children all this?”
“Wyatt Lewis, come here,” Alitzel called out with a stern face.
“Here I am,” Wyatt answered with a bounce and a smile.
“Go, and call your brother down. Day in and day out he’s teaching the kids all kinds of nonsense. So shameless, really, does he have no face left?”
Wyatt said with an amused smile, “Mom, if men and women cared about face, how would we ensure the continuation of the family line?”
Alitzel retorted, “Still, you shouldn’t say such things in front of the kids. Call him down.”
“Mom, Luke already said it, they’re busy making babies, probably tired, need rest.”
Alitzel frowned and tried to speak, but found herself unable to utter a word after struggling for some time.
Finally, she reluctantly called out, “Aunt Johnson.”
“What orders do you have, madam?”
“Go stew some tonic. After a whole night of exertion, we don’t want Hope to be worn out.”
If Hope could hear this, she might regret not having dug a hole to crawl into the night before.
Hope emerged from her room, bumping into Waylon Lewis who had just come out of the neighboring room.
Hope’s expression darkened, she swiftly turned and walked away, but the man caught up in two steps.
“Running from what? Hm?”
Scenes from the chaotic night before flashed unbidden in Hope’s mind; she fought hard not to remember.
But the brain is such that the very things you don’t want to think of are the ones that demand recognition.
Since hiding was futile, she braced herself to confront it.
Hope turned around, forcing a smile, “Good morning, President Lewis.”
Waylon Lewis leaned down and planted a kiss on the woman’s upturned lips, “Morning.”
“Ow, hey!” A nearby servant, bombarded with PDA, quickly turned away, “Young master, Young Madam, I didn’t see anything.”
Hope gritted her teeth and fled downstairs, repeating to herself, if I’m not embarrassed, then others are.
“Mommy!” Seeing Hope, Luke and Willow rushed into their mommy’s arms without a care.
“You two got up so early,” Hope remarked.
“Yeah, yeah, to welcome the little brother.”
Hope was bewildered, “What?”
“Didn’t you and bad daddy go to make a little brother last night? Let the little brother come out quickly,” Luke looked up at Hope with eager anticipation.
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…” Wyatt Lewis couldn’t stop laughing, slapping his thigh.
Hope’s eyelids twitched nervously; surrounded by amused glances, she suddenly realized… she was done for!
“Where’s the little brother? Where’s the little brother?”
Biting her teeth together, Hope asked in as neutral a tone as she could manage, “Luke, Willow, who promised you a little brother?”
“Bad daddy,” Luke shouted, with Willow nodding along in agreement.
“Right,” Hope said pleasantly, “then go ask him for it, he’s the one who promised you.”
Hope’s argument was sound.
Just then, Waylon Lewis came downstairs. Luke and Willow each latched onto one of his pant legs, looking up with eyes brighter than black gems, filled with expectation.
Waylon Lewis looked at the little ones clinging to his legs, his brow twitching, “What’s this about?”
“We want a brother, a little brother,” Luke said happily, “Where’s the little brother bad daddy mentioned last night? Is he too shy to come out?”
“…” Waylon Lewis felt a sudden throb between his eyebrows.
“You two are really too… too much,” Alitzel was too embarrassed to continue, “Whatever you two are doing, close the door, right? The kids… the kids saw it… The main thing is you, you even told the kids, said you were… making a little brother, so shameless.”
“Cough…” Hope, scared by Alitzel’s words, blushed to her ears in an instant.
Waylon Lewis, his face still cold from being interrupted the night before, walked over to Hope, raised his hand, and gently patted her back as he said coolly, “Understood, we’ll lock the door next time.”
“Cough cough…” Hope Williams hung her head, her cough getting worse.
“Alright, Little Hope, I made some soup for you. Go and have some. The two of you have been fussing around late at night, must have been tough, don’t wear yourselves out.”
Hope Williams, “…” Save me!
Wyatt Lewis held back a laugh, “Brother, sister-in-law, Grandfather is calling you over.”
Hope Williams, as if finding an escape from the awkwardness, promptly responded, “I’ll be right there.”
Thank goodness, Grandfather saved her last shred of dignity…
Hope Williams almost burst into tears with gratitude!
“Grandfather, you were looking for us?”
“Uh… Waylon, Hope, you’re here. Take a seat. There’s something I want to talk to you about.” The old man chuckled dryly, gesturing to the butler to go out and close the door as he spoke.
Seeing how serious the old man was, Hope Williams tensed up, fearing some major issue, and watched him intently, listening carefully.
“Go ahead, Grandfather.”
The old man took a sip of water and coughed lightly to clear his throat, “Cough… so, Waylon, Hope, about today’s matter… of course, I don’t oppose you young people having a bit of fun. But the kid is still young, right? Next time, remember to lock the door.”
“…”
Hope Williams hung her head, probably looking for some hole in the ground to crawl into.
“Right, Grandfather makes a good point, we’ll be more careful next time,” Waylon Lewis readily agreed.
Hope Williams lifted her hand to cover her face.
She really didn’t understand how he could have such thick skin.
“Luke and Willow are also still young, no need to rush for a second child, haha. When you have time, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and remarry. I’ll definitely give you the grandest wedding to welcome Hope back to the Lewis Family.”
At this moment, Hope Williams’ face was so red it was about to take flight, hearing the old man’s words directed at her. She hurriedly responded, “I understand.”
Understood, truly taken to heart!
I really took it to heart!
Grandfather, can you please leave me some dignity? Can you?
Waylon Lewis’s eyes briefly flashed with surprise, a sly glint flickering as he looked at the little woman next to him and gently wrapped her in his arms, pleasantly saying, “Don’t worry, Grandfather, we’ll go and get remarried right away.”
“Let’s go, let’s go,” Hope Williams wasn’t listening to what they were saying, hiding in Waylon’s embrace and tugging at his clothes, wanting to escape quickly.
Waylon went along with her, taking Hope out of the old man’s study.
“Waylon Lewis, it’s all your fault; now everyone in the old house knows we did… did…”
As she was saying this, Hope pushed Waylon away condemnatory.
“Did what?” Waylon Lewis teased her with a light loft of his brow.
“Did that without locking the door, and Luke and Willow caught us.”
Now everyone knew.
Hope Williams felt she could die of shame.
Waylon Lewis sighed softly, disagreeing, “We didn’t do it; maybe we should continue.”
“Get out.”
“Ah…” Hope Williams let out a low cry, abruptly scooped up by the waist, “What are you doing?”
“What did you just promise Grandfather?” his eyes intently fixed on her.
Hope Williams paused, her mind already recollecting.
“Luke and Willow are still young, no need to rush for a second child, haha. When you have time, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and remarry. I’ll undoubtedly throw you the grandest wedding to welcome Hope back to the Lewis Family.”
“I understand.”
“Don’t worry, Grandfather, we’ll go and get remarried right away.”
“…”
At that time, Hope Williams was so fixated on finding some hole in the floor, she hadn’t thought it through and just agreed.
“Hold on,” Hope Williams desperately clung to the door frame.
Waylon Lewis stopped and looked at her, “You’re having second thoughts?”
Hope Williams, full of despair, “Who agreed to remarry you.”
Waylon Lewis’s brow furrowed with a woeful expression, “You’re taking it back!”
Hope Williams half-sobbed, half-laughed, “I didn’t hear it clearly just now.”
“Nice excuse, but it won’t work.”
Waylon Lewis wouldn’t pass up such a good opportunity after waiting for her to slip up.
“…I won’t go.”
“You must.”
What do you think?
