Chapter 786 Dispute
Twenty minutes later, Winnie arrived.
It wasn't the usual time for picking up kids, so there weren't many parents around. However, the tall and striking figures of Lawrence and Rock standing at the entrance of the kindergarten were still very noticeable.
Especially since they looked like they were about to fight at any moment.
Sidney and Oscar stood by the reception room, with Melissa and a bodyguard protecting the children.
Sidney glared at Rock with a fierce expression, looking just like Lawrence.
Oscar, on the other hand, was cold as ice, his brows tightly furrowed.
"Lawrence, Winnie and I are married. The custody of these two children belongs to Winnie, which makes me Oscar's rightful father. Of course, I can take him away. On the contrary, without Winnie's consent, you have no right to take the children!" Rock said coldly and angrily.
Lawrence let out a cold sneer, "What kind of joke are you making? Oscar is the biological son of Winnie and me. How can you claim him?"
"Besides, the information board at the kindergarten lists me as the father. Winnie tacitly agreed to this, and we chose this kindergarten together for the children."
"As for you, what right do you have to take my son? You like raising other people's children, huh? I have no interest in letting my child call you dad. If you want a child, you can let Sierra die a little later."
Rock's face changed dramatically. Lawrence had found out about Sierra. What did he suspect? Did he say anything to Winnie?
But thinking about how Winnie secretly let Oscar recognize Lawrence as his father made him angry.
They even chose the kindergarten together.
Winnie, that bitch, how many things had she hidden from him?
Rock turned his anger towards Oscar, coldly reminding him, "Oscar, you have disappointed me. Have you forgotten how you were born? Your mother was forced to jump off a cliff by Lawrence, causing you to be born in the sea, suffering from cold poison since birth. It was me who saved you and your mother, risking everything to send you abroad for a stable life! Didn't you tell me you could never forgive Lawrence for abandoning you?"
Oscar's calm and wise eyes narrowed, and his small face turned red with embarrassment.
Indeed, he had sworn never to forgive Lawrence easily.
Especially after Winnie returned to the country, Lawrence hurt and abandoned Winnie again.
But recently, he had been coaxed by the Rodriguez Family, and his brief closeness with Lawrence made Oscar unconsciously lean towards him. He was so happy that he almost forgot the grievances Winnie had suffered.
Seeing Oscar's expression change and fall into pain, Sidney shot an angry glare at Rock.
When Winnie came, Sidney immediately cried out cunningly, "Mommy! You're finally here. Rock is coaxing Oscar! He's so awful!"
He said this while looking scared and aggrieved, throwing himself into Winnie's arms.
Even though Winnie didn't understand the situation, seeing Rock forcing Oscar and Oscar's slightly red eyes looking at her, her heart turned cold.
She quickly walked over and held Oscar's hand, looking at Rock with a heavy heart, "Rock, can you not say such harsh things in front of Oscar?"
"Winnie, I'm just stating the facts." Seeing Winnie appear, Rock immediately restrained his gloominess and put on a sad, apologetic expression.
Lawrence sneered coldly.
Before he could speak, Winnie said frankly, "But this will hurt Oscar's self-esteem. Rock, please don't use morality to manipulate Oscar."
She admitted that Rock was right. It was indeed Lawrence who caused her to jump into the sea, abandoning her and their son. But Rock shouldn't force Oscar to choose.
Oscar was innocent. From birth, he, like Sidney, was premature and endured a lot of suffering.
Every child's longing for their father was natural.
Like Oscar, no matter how much he said he only needed Winnie, he had a natural closeness to Lawrence. These days, since Oscar moved into the Rodriguez Mansion, she could feel that he was clearly very happy.
Oscar was struggling to handle his relationship with the Rodriguez Family.
Winnie was happy to see it. She didn't want to interfere too much or force the children to choose her.
Previously, she was just worried that Lawrence would find an unreliable stepmother for them.
But Lawrence said he would never marry in this life, so she gradually let go of her guard.
Rock bringing up these sad things again was equivalent to hurting Oscar.
Oscar was such a proud child; no one understood him better than she did.
Rock's words would make him sad, self-blaming, and look down on his own actions.
Rock, who was being heartlessly criticized by Winnie, suppressed his inner coldness, his face showing a hurt expression.
"Winnie, let me explain. I was just anxious today. I didn't expect you to send the children to the Rodriguez Family without telling me, so I rushed over. I was worried they might be mistreated there."
"I said these things because I felt it was unfair for you and Oscar. If it weren't for me protecting you back then, you would have been pushed onto the operating table by Lawrence for an abortion. Have you forgotten those things?"
"What has Lawrence ever done for Oscar? Why should he be able to take the children back now?"
Winnie thought of the events from three years ago, her face changing slightly.
Lawrence stepped forward, "Stop trying to sow discord. Why was I so ruthless back then? Wasn't it because you made me believe you had a relationship with Winnie through your schemes? Rock, do I need to reveal all the dirty things you did three years ago? I advise you, the matters between Winnie and me are none of your business."
Rock's face changed, his eyes darkening.
If Winnie weren't here, he would have punched him already. What right did Lawrence have to challenge him now?
"Lawrence, you shut up too." Winnie warned both of them, angrily glancing at Lawrence, "As the children's father, do you know what kind of impression you're giving the kindergarten teachers by making a scene here?"
"You two men, always claiming to care about the children, have you ever really thought about them? Look at how many people are watching the commotion at the entrance."
Lawrence smiled at her words 'the children's father,' but still looked apologetically at his sons, "I'm sorry, I just didn't want Rock to take Oscar away."
Rock was full of anger. Wasn't Winnie admitting in front of the kindergarten teachers that Lawrence was the children's biological father?
He coldly said, "Winnie, I am your husband. Taking the children is my right too."
