Where?
Bethan did not know either.
No matter what, she did not want to go back home. “Forget about it.”
Christian sighed and immediately started the car.
“It looks like Brettley’s appearance made you in a foul mood once more. Should I take you to relieve you of some stress?”
Bethan furrowed her brows. “Racing again?”
Christian started driving.
“No, we’ll use a different method.”
Christian took Bethan to Banyan City’s busiest bar and drank with her.
Initially, Bethan refused to drink, saying that her alcohol tolerance was not great and she might talk nonsense when she got drunk.
However, when they reached the bar, Bethan could no longer hold back. She started drinking with Christian.
By the third round, Bethan opened up and became chatty.
“Brettley was love at first sight. The moment I saw him I liked him. I wanted to marry him no matter what. I wanted to grow old with him, look at what happened…”
Bethan said while crying involuntarily.
“I bore him three children and got into an accident because of him. I turned from Bethan Peterson into Bethan. He never had me in his heart. Women come and go by him. All of them were much more important to him, except me…
“I don’t understand. Who the hell am I to him? Am I someone he could bully and humiliate at any time?”
Bethan was drunk as a skunk.
She cried while confiding to Christian all the things she used to sacrifice for Brettley. Also, how heartless Brettley was toward her and her children at that moment.
Christian listened to her and could not help but sigh. Actually…
Other people might not understand the importance of Bethan and her children in Brettley’s eye, but Christian understood clearly.
Including why did Brettley always treat Fiona so kindly. It was not because he liked Fiona.
However, Fiona had something on Christian in her hands. Furthermore, Brettley has warned Christian many times to not tell Bethan.
Brettley, at that moment, had other thoughts on Bethan, that was why he was reluctant to tell her.
Perhaps it would be better if she did not know. That way Christian might have a chance?
He sighed and sent the drunk Bethan back to Blue Bay Villa.
“Brettley…”
The moment Christian placed Bethan on the bed, she still groggily called out Brettley’s name.
Christian, who was tucking her in bed, paused a little. After a while, he smiled bitterly.
Although Bethan kept saying that she hated Brettley, she should still have feelings for him, right?
If she were to truly not like Brettley, how could she have possibly hated him so much?
Christian tucked Bethan into bed and sighed heavily while exiting the door.
However, Christian did not expect that the moment he exited the door, the dark corridors suddenly lit up.
Nigel, who was in pajamas, was at the end of the corridor with his arms crossed around his chest. His eyes were as deep as Brettley’s, looking at Christian closely.
“You didn’t do anything to my Mommy, right?”
Christian furrowed his brows and subconsciously looked at the time. It was almost two in the morning.
“Shouldn’t you be asleep?” “Your car honk woke me up.”
Nigel’s voice was so calm he did not sound like a six-year-old.
“I was worried when I saw Mommy heading out with you, so I got the guards to keep watch to wake me up when Mommy comes home.”
Then, Nigel looked at Christian seriously.
“You don’t look too old. You’re not a good match with my Mommy.”
“Also, according to seniority in the family, you’re my older cousin, so don’t you dare have eyes on my Mommy.”
Christian was amused by Nigel’s serious look.
He smiled, walked over, and bent down so that his eyes met with Nigel’s on the same level.
“Dude, has your Mommy ever told you that kids should not meddle in adults’ affairs?”
“Nope.”
Nigel blinked his eyes, pretending to be innocent.
“My mommy said that in our home, the adults and children are equal. Her matters are our matters too.”
Then, he yawned and looked at Nigel seriously.
“My Mommy has said that if she were to look for a boyfriend, she would discuss it with us. I would not let my Mommy be together with a murderer, okay? “
Murderer.
The moment Nigel said that word, Christian’s face instantly turned pale.
He instantly stood up and took a step back. His expressions were filled with urgency.
“W-What do you know?”
“Not much, “
Nigel pursed his lips and said, “I’m a hacker. I still found some rumors about you when you were at school abroad.”
Nigel looked at Christian seriously and said, “I also know that Fiona has something on you. She also threatened you to help her with things.”
Nigel laughed, “I never told my Mommy all these, because I know that you have no ill intention toward us, so I can help you hide this. But, if you were to sneakily take advantage of my Mommy or have any inappropriate intentions toward her, I won’t be that polite anymore! “
Then, Nigel looked like he was the master of the house. He waved his hands and called for the bodyguards.
“It’s late. Send Mr. Moore off!”
Then, Nigel turned around and strode back to his own children’s room with his short legs.
Even when Nigel’s room door was closed, Christian remained standing in the same spot, stunned, and looking at Nigel leaving.
He had cold sweats.
At that moment, he even suspected that was the person talking to him a moment ago Brettley’s son or Brettley himself?
That innate aloof and regal aura. The serious and cold way he talked was exactly the same as Brettley!
More importantly, Nigel was only six years old! He could investigate the matters when he was in school abroad. He even knew that Fiona had something on him in her hands!
How terrifying!
“Mr. Moore.”
Suddenly, a bodyguard’s voice pulled Christian back to reality.
“Hmm, I’ll leave immediately.”
Christian wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, turned, and left.
When he returned back to his car, he leaned back on the leather driver’s seat.
He took off his jacket which was almost drenched in his sweat.
