Chapter 58 Bruce's Decision
In the hall, Bruce was sitting on a high-grade mahogany chair, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed presbyopic glasses, with a trimmed beard. Although he was 86 years old, he looked like he was in his early sixties. His eyes made him look powerful.
But when he saw a big guy and a small figure walking in, his eyes behind the glasses widened instantly. He raised his eye sockets with his hands and carefully looked at the little boy. Was he the child?
"Grandpa." Austin sat beside him with a smile and then put down the little guy in his arms. The little boy looked at the old man curiously.
Seeing his son was so calm, Austin couldn't help but smile, "Daniel, say hello to great grandpa."
"Hello, great grandpa." The childish and clear voice was very pleasant.
Bruce stretched out his hand a little excitedly and pulled the little guy in front of him. He held his eye sockets with one hand and looked at the little guy carefully.
"He looked much like Austin when he was a child. He really is a child of our family." The old man immediately burst into laughter and said to Austin with a serious face, "How do you explain it? Why was the child of our family on the tramp?"
The little guy blinked, feeling that his great-grandfather was scolding his father, so he couldn't help begging, "Great-grandfather, don't scold my father please!"
"I'm not scolding him but blaming him. Why did you leave the little boy behind?" Bruce explained with a gentle expression.
However, the little guy was still young and Bruce's words were likely to cause ambiguity, so it was difficult for him to understand the words for a while. Then, he asked a little strangely, "Why did you say that my father left me behind? I'm in front of him!"
Both Bruce and Austin were amused by the little boy.
Seeing this, the little boy laughed, then threw himself into the arms of the old man, raised his head, and looked at his white beard. "Great-grandpa, your beard is so long! Can I touch it?"
It had been a long time since Bruce hugged such a small child. So, he stretched out his hand to hug the boy, but Austin couldn't help but worry, "Grandpa, don't hug him."
"What? Can't I hold my great-grandson?" After finishing, Bruce looked at the little guy in his arms lovingly. Austin was the one he loved the most since he was a child, so this love was naturally given to the little guy.
Austin didn't speak anything anymore and felt less stressed than when he was on his way home. It seemed that the little guy was so popular.
"How have you been doing these years? Have you ever been wronged?" Bruce looked at his little great-grandson and asked.
The little guy blinked, nodded, and said, "Mummy treats me very well."
Bruce was a bit surprised. Did the boy love her mother so much?
"Daniel, this uncle will take you around. Daddy will have a few words with your great-grandfather."
The little guy obediently jumped off Bruce's lap. When Bruce saw the lively child, he just liked him. He reached out to help him to prevent him from being hurt.
The little guy was led by the butler to stroll in the direction of the garden. In the quiet living room, the atmosphere became a little dignified again. The old man's eyes fell on his grandson. "The child's mother was married, right? Wasn't she divorced when you two fell in love with each other?" NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
He was blaming his grandson.
Austin didn't expect that his grandfather could find out everything about Freya.
"I was drugged at the time, and I met her in a hotel when I was insane. That's why I had the child," Austin calmly explained. He was convinced his grandfather knew who drugged him.
"How did you meet this little guy?" Bruce was more curious about this issue. The world was so big and it was a coincidence that father and son could meet.
To be honest, Austin initially thought Freya put the little guy next to him on purpose. Maybe she remembered him four years ago and deliberately wanted the child to get close to him so that he could get benefits and wealth from him.
But in the later period of getting along with him, Austin completely dispelled this idea. This was a pure coincidence. Moreover, the little guy could offer him his hair to do the paternity test and dared to introduce his mother to him.
Austin was also a little scared. If he gave up on the decision to test the DNA, then he and this son would be separated for the rest of their lives.
Fortunately, he made the right decision.
After hearing this, Bruce was also full of admiration for the little guy. "I didn't expect that the child of our family would be so smart. He is only three years old and has such a mind."
After finishing, he frowned and thought for a while before asking, "Is the child dependent on his mother?"
"Daniel was brought up by Freya. Of course, he is dependent on her."
"If we raise the kid in our family, what will her opinions be?" Bruce asked quietly.
Of course, Austin was aware of Bruce's plan. This was the same idea he had when he learned of the child's existence. He wanted to bring the child back to his family and sever his ties with his mother. But at this moment, his thoughts had changed. He pleaded earnestly, "Grandpa, Daniel is still too young to live separately from his mother, so can we delay this matter for a few years?"
"It is precisely because he is too young that it is easier to separate his mother and him. It will be even more difficult if he grows up." Bruce sighed, "You tell his mother that we will treat her well since she has your son."
Austin couldn't tell his grandpa that Freya didn't want money but her son. Otherwise, his grandpa would take such ruthless methods that Freya would not be able to bear them.
Austin thought for a while and pleaded in a deep voice, "Grandpa, let Daniel and his mother live with me for a year. I want to transfer Daniel's dependence on her to me, so he will return to our family easily. Although Daniel is only three years old, he is more sensible and smarter than ordinary children. If he knows that we sever his ties with his mother, I am afraid that there will be shadows in his life and he will hate us."
Bruce squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "That's fine, but you have to remember that you are not allowed to get entangled with the child's mother. After one year, give her a sum of money so that she will voluntarily give up the custody of the child and break the relationship with him!"
