Chapter 149 I Want a Complete Family
Why did they secretly hand Dennis over to Frederick instead of raising him themselves? There's gotta be some kind of scheme or conspiracy behind this!
Whoever's pulling the strings better not mess with Isabella, or else...
A fierce glint flashed in Hugo's eyes!
He turned to Dennis and said, "Once we get the sample, I'll rush it for testing. We should have the results by this afternoon. If all goes well, we'll find a way to meet today."
"Okay, I'll wait for your message!"
After hanging up, Dennis quickly collected the sample.
Since Isabella had stayed at the house, the sample was easy to find. To be safe, he not only collected Isabella's hair but also took her toothbrush.
Not long after, the doorbell rang.
Dennis had received a heads-up from Hugo and rushed to the door.
Taking advantage of the food delivery, he handed the pre-prepared sample to the delivery person.
As soon as the delivery person left, Isabella received a call from Hugo, saying he was worried she wouldn't have time to cook today and had ordered breakfast for her and Dennis.
Isabella hung up the phone and walked to the door.
Dennis handed her the takeout, saying, "The delivery guy just brought this, said it's for you."
Isabella was surprised and asked, "Hugo just called me about this. That kid, knowing I'd get up to make breakfast, still ordered takeout. What was he thinking?"
Dennis covered for him, saying, "He probably cares about you and is worried you might not get up in time for breakfast."
Isabella smiled, "Hugo is the sweetest."
Seeing the pride in Isabella's eyes when she mentioned Hugo, Dennis made a silent vow to perform well and become his mom's pride, just like Hugo!
Isabella didn't notice anything unusual and said, "Breakfast is ready. I'll go serve the porridge. You call your daddy to eat."
"Okay."
Dennis obediently nodded and went to the study.
Frederick was still in shock, completely stunned by what Dennis had just said.
"Daddy, it's time to eat," said Dennis.
Frederick snapped out of it, closed the study door, and asked Dennis seriously, "Dennis, do you know what you just said?"
"What?"
"You said you want Isabella to be your mommy."
"Yes, I said it. You don't need to doubt yourself; you heard right."
Frederick was shocked again. He asked, "Tell me, what exactly are you thinking?"
Dennis, with a serious face, said earnestly, "I just like her. I want to be her son. If you have any objections, keep them to yourself!"
Frederick's expression was complicated as he asked, "If you become her son, what about me?"
Dennis mumbled, "You could try pursuing her and see if you can become her husband."
Frederick's eyes widened, staring at Dennis in utter shock! He was so shocked that he lost control of his facial expressions.
He said, "Dennis, are you joking with me?"
"No, I'm serious," Dennis looked at him seriously, speaking seriously, with a serious tone and expression.
Although Dennis had psychological issues, he was very clear-headed.
Now that he had found his mommy, he was very happy.
But to maximize happiness, the best way was to get Frederick involved.
Currently, Isabella and Frederick had no feelings for each other. Even if she found out he was her son, she would likely try to take him away from Frederick rather than stay and live with both of them.
Leaving with mommy and abandoning daddy, or continuing to live with daddy and not acknowledging mommy—neither option was what he wanted.
He was different from Hugo, Justin, and Paul, who had been with Isabella for a long time and only had Isabella in their hearts.
But he wanted both Isabella and Frederick. He wanted a complete family! That was his dream!
But this dream was hard to achieve on his own. If Frederick could step up and make Isabella love him, the dream could come true.
Frederick asked him in shock, "Are you planning to abandon your mommy?"
Dennis furrowed his little brows. He couldn't tell Frederick the truth yet, so he said, "From today on, Isabella is my mommy! Whether you want to be her husband or not, I will be her son!"
"What if she leaves?" Frederick asked.
Dennis deliberately scared him, replying, "Then I'll leave with her."
Frederick's breath hitched, a lump forming in his chest, almost suffocating him.
"If you leave with her, what about me?!"
"You can either come with us or be a lonely old man."
Frederick was stunned.
Dennis continued seriously, "I'm serious about it. No one can change my determination! If you still want a son, find a way to please her, make her happy, and try to get a chance to be her husband."
Frederick was silent.
Dennis went on, "Don't say I didn't warn you. If you don't seize every opportunity to make her love you now, you'll regret it later."
Frederick remained silent.
Dennis didn't look at his expression, turned around, and left.
Frederick only had his mommy in his heart, which meant daddy's love interest was mommy Isabella! If he didn't work hard now, when the truth came out, he'd be heartbroken.
Anyway, he had said what needed to be said and given the necessary reminders. If Frederick didn't listen and continued to be cold to Isabella...
Outside the study, Isabella had just set the table. Seeing only Dennis come out, she curiously asked, "Where's your daddy? Isn't he eating?"
Dennis said, "He'll eat later. He's thinking about something."
"What can't wait until after eating?" she inquired.
"He's thinking about his life decisions!" Dennis answered.
Isabella was about to respond when her phone rang. Frederick had sent her a message: [Come to my study now, immediately!]
Isabella instinctively glanced at the study door, puzzled.
What does this mean?
They were just a door apart, and he had to use the phone to communicate!
After thinking for a moment, Isabella said to Dennis, "Dennis, go wash your hands and get ready to eat. I'll go see your daddy."
Isabella walked towards the study, and Dennis watched her back, slightly furrowing his little brows.
'What does Frederick want with her?' Dennis thought.
As soon as Isabella entered the study, she noticed something was off. Frederick's face was dark, glaring at her.
Isabella was displeased as she inquired, "Why are you glaring at me?"
Frederick retorted, "What did you say to Dennis?"
"What do you mean? I told him to call you for dinner."
Frederick's thin lips were tightly pressed, uttering, "Did you tell him to be your son and me to be your husband?"
Isabella was stunned, questioning, "What are you talking about?"
Frederick didn't believe her. "You better not lie to me. I have a bad temper; when I lose control, even I am frightened by myself!"
His face was dark, and Isabella was indeed a bit scared, but what had she lied about?
Isabella was unhappy as she said, "You better explain yourself first!"
Frederick glared at her, enunciating each word, "Dennis said he wants you to be his mom and even suggested I should be your husband!! If you didn't teach him, why would he suddenly say that? He loves his mommy the most and is very resistant to other women. Why would he abandon his mommy for you?"
This time, it was Isabella's turn to be shocked. She inquired in disbelief, "Dennis wants me to be his mommy?"
