Chapter 170 Daddy, You Have an Elder Son
This was the first time Ryan heard Harper call him like that. All this time, Harper didn't like him because his mother was a bad person.
Just now, when Lucien wanted to take him away and had an argument with Antonio, he understood everything they said.
His mom wasn't coming back anymore as she had done something wrong. She was a bad person!.
Mommy wanted to harm Harper! Now she has been sent to prison, and Daddy said... she won't have a chance to come out again.
Actually, he had never dared to tell Antonio that Lisa was not good to him either. She always hit him and used him to receive Antonio's sympathy and love. But she was still his mother.
Now that it had turned like this, Ryan was also so sad that he just wanted to hide in a dark alley.
Just then, Harper found him and called him brother...
Ryan grabbed Harper's hand and checked if she was hurt.
Harper quickly grabbed onto the boy's arm, afraid that if she let go, he would run away. "Don't believe what that meanie said earlier. Daddy won't abandon you."
Harper was scared whenever she thought about what happened in the room earlier. She was trying to comfort Ryan with Antonio when Lucien barged in and tried to take Ryan away without any explanation. Lucien had even said that Ryan couldn't stay with Antonio and that he would personally raise him.
Ryan had gotten scared and run away during their heated argument. She had followed him out but still didn't know the outcome of the negotiation between Antonio and Lucien.
"I know Daddy loves me," Ryan said, lowering his head. "That's why I'm even sadder."
Sensing Ryan's low spirits, Harper pouted, thinking about how she always made her brothers laugh whenever they were unhappy. But Ryan's situation was different. His young heart was fragile now.
Harper took the initiative and held Ryan's hand. "Don't be sad. It will all pass... I will always be with you!"
Mommy said that the best comfort is silently staying by the other person's side. I might not be good at anything else, but comforting people is my specialty.
She affectionately touched Ryan's face, just like she did with Ethan, being cute and coaxing him, "Don't be sad, brother. Harper likes you. Let's live together in the future!"
Harper wasn't lying. She used to dislike Ryan a lot because his mom was a bad woman. But as they spent more time together, she could feel Ryan's kindness.
Now that he had lost his mom and Lucien wanted to take him away, it was really pitiful. Harper was like a little angel, and besides... why wouldn't she be happy to have one more brother who wouldl love her?
But Harper didn't know that at that moment, her comforting words would become something Ryan would remember for the rest of his life. Even on the day he died, when she got married to someone else wearing a white wedding dress, he wouldn't be able to forget this beautiful moment.
"Harper!"
Just then, Ethan's voice came, and Harper and Ryan both turned their heads.
Not only Ethan, but Antonio was also right behind him.
Ethan walked over and noticed Harper and Ryan holding hands. He furrowed his brow slightly but didn't stop them. He just asked Harper, "Are you going back to Mommy's room tonight?"
Harper was taken aback for a moment, and then innocently glanced at the person standing next to Ethan.
Why can't Daddy live together with everyone else? Why does it seem like Daddy and Mommy live next door, making it seem like two separate families? And I... have become the unfortunate one caught in the middle, forced to make a choice.
"Ethan, I... I will go back at night... It's not like I don't want you and Mommy," she said.
She just wanted to be fair to both sides, especially at a time like this when she needed to ignite the fire and create opportunities for her parents to reconcile!
Ethan squinted and took the opportunity when Antonio picked up Ryan to whisper Brian's message to Harper.
"You want to matchmake Bad Guy and Mommy. Brian respects you, but you also need to respect him and not let Bad Guy know about his existence."
Harper thought, I was just about to tell Daddy earlier that he actually has another elder son!
