Chapter 259 Mistaking Sydney as Oscar
"Oscar, why did you run away?" Winnie was frantic.
Oscar, who was only three and a half, how did he manage to board an international flight and come back alone?
He had always been too clever for his own good, causing trouble. Winnie hurriedly crossed the backyard and headed towards the parking lot.
She remembered giving Oscar a phone bracelet, trying to contact the little one to determine his whereabouts.
Lymington was such a big place, and there were so many bad people...
"Thud!" She was walking too quickly and accidentally kicked something.
It was soft and fluffy. When she looked down, it turned out to be a little boy!
He sat by the pool, curled up like a little dumpling, wearing a black and elegant little suit with a white bowtie, sitting obediently.
"I'm sorry, little one!" Winnie apologized in a gentle voice.
The child turned his head.
The ground lamp cast a dim light. Their eyes met, and both fell silent—
Sidney thought, Winnie was so beautiful.
But Winnie was stunned, she paused for a second, took a deep breath, then shockingly and angrily ran over, "Oscar!?"
"You, how did you know Mommy was here? And you actually came looking for me?" she exclaimed.
Winnie was certain that the face in front of her was her own son without a doubt! She immediately crouched down and picked up the child, holding him tightly in her arms, shocked and worried,
"Baby, how could you leave without saying a word to Mommy and go back to the country? Do you know how worried Mommy was about you..."
"Mommy?" a cold and indifferent little voice sounded.
The delicate hands pushed away from her embrace. Winnie slightly furrowed her brows, as the little one took a step back cautiously, curiously surveying her from head to toe, then confidently and politely said, "Auntie, I don't know you!"
"You're so beautiful, are you a kidnapper?" For Sidney, even though Lawrence R was incompatible with him, he remembered every word his scumbag father said.
But why did she seem familiar? Her heart was inexplicably beating fast.
"..." Winnie was completely stunned.
What strange thing was her son saying? She loosened her grip on the child, looked at him up and down, gazed into his clear and cold eyes, and suddenly understood something.
"Oscar, are you sick?" He rarely had split personalities, but once he got sick, he would be even colder than usual and would not remember things when he was conscious.
"This time, you don't even recognize Mommy?"
Muttering to herself, Winnie reached out to hold her son's hand again, looked at his attire, and couldn't help but laugh wordlessly,
"So you even wore a suit that you don't usually wear and meticulously styled your hair. But don't think that Mommy won't recognize you this way. No matter how you change, you are Mommy's little Oscar!"
Oscar? Sidney furrowed his brows, tilted his head to examine this woman, who was she calling?
"Oscar is not my name." Sidney said with confidence.
Winnie was completely speechless. How could she have a clear conversation with a mentally unstable little guy?
"Then what is your name now?"
Sidney lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and said cautiously,
"How could a man casually tell his name to a woman? What if you have evil intentions? Then I'll be in trouble."
"..." Winnie forcefully pulled down the corners of her mouth.
Pinching his ear, she sighed helplessly, "Enough with the acting. I forgive you because you're sick. Let's not talk about anything else, Oscar, it's not safe here."
Winnie cautiously glanced around, primarily afraid that Lawrence R would suddenly appear.
If he found out that her son was alive, he would definitely try to take the child from her! She frowned and quickly lifted him up,
"Mommy's matters are settled. Come, let's go home with Mommy!"
A trace of bewilderment flashed across Sidney's face. Her embrace was so warm... He had never felt warmth from Darcy, only annoyance.
Taylor said he had a birth mother, but...
"It's gone!" Sidney pursed his lips and hesitated before pushing her away. "I can't go home with you; I don't know you."
"I came out just to get away from the annoying bodyguards." Sidney defended strongly for a three-year-old. "If I go home with you, my family will be angry!"
Winnie felt helpless and thought he was just making up roles in his little mind. "Besides me, where are your other family members?"
As Sidney was about to speak, Winnie quickly took out her phone and flicked through a few pictures, showing them to him with irritation.
"Oscar Anderson, let me reintroduce myself. I am your mommy, and these are your photos, hundreds of them stored on my phone. You are my son, do you believe it now?"
Sidney widened his eyes as he stared at the phone. How did this woman have his photos?
No, wait, the little boy in the phone was dressed differently from his own little suit. He was wearing sportswear instead.
With lifted eyebrows and shining black eyes, he looked radiant, unlike his own gloomy and weak appearance.
So his name was Oscar Anderson? Sidney felt confused, wondering what was really going on.
Who was the boy in the pictures, and why did he have the same face as Sidney?
Lawrence R had never mentioned that he had a brother! Sidney's clever brain couldn't process it. What was going on?
"You have nothing to say now, huh?" Winnie silently rolled her eyes and picked up the little guy again.
He was in a daze, cold and cool, very different from the usual Oscar, who loved to smile and was mischievous.
Winnie was actually taken aback by tonight's 'Oscar'. But considering he was having a seizure, it wasn't surprising.
She curved her lips and couldn't help but kiss his face twice. "Just behave and don't resist anymore. Mommy won't get mad at you for secretly running back!"
"..." Hey hey. Sidney was completely dumbfounded. She actually kissed him herself...
And he, damn it, didn't even dislike this woman!
He felt a bit shy, flustered, and his little heart became warm too. Could it be that this woman was really his biological mommy?
Otherwise, how could she have given birth to a son who looked exactly like him? No, he had to figure out what was going on!
If she really was his mommy, then that would be great. Sob sob, he finally had a real mommy, and he wouldn't have to endure Darcy's acting and bullying anymore.
With this thought in mind, Sidney pursed his lips. He might as well go back with his mommy!
As for Lawrence R, hmph, it served him right for trying to please Darcy tonight and forcing him out. He would run away from home for a few days and let him reflect!
Sidney simply leaned on the woman's shoulder and spoke softly, "Then, take me with you."
"Why do you sound so reluctant?" Winnie smiled and held her son's head tightly, about to pass through a corridor.
Sidney keenly spotted the bodyguards at the end and alerted, "Don't go this way! I know a shortcut, let's hurry and leave."
"...” Winnie was perplexed.
Wasn't it this child's first time in the country too? But she glanced at the VIP lounge and worried about running into Lawrence R, so she quickly turned and took a shortcut, walking fast...
At the end of the corridor fifty meters away, Oscar used the location system on his phone bracelet and finally managed to locate Mommy within a hundred meters...
As he looked up, his big eyes caught sight of a familiar figure. He was about to run over when a bodyguard suddenly rushed towards him, panting heavily, and blocked his path.
"Sidney?" the bodyguard said. "Finally found you!"
"?" Oscar had a question mark in his mind and looked around. He was the only child there.
He denied, shaking his head. "I am not."
"Don't play with us!" The bodyguard smiled bitterly and immediately shouted, "Notify Mr. L, Sidney has been found!"
