Reborn as Mr.CEO's Fat Wife-Chapter 574: We, Teddy, are going to see our mom soon
Chapter 574: Chapter 574: We, Teddy, are going to see our mom soon
The car arrived at the destination; Alex had already arranged the accommodation.
A semi-detached villa, which was a common architectural style in the area.
Not far from the villa was the largest local farm.
Compared to Edinburgh, Durin’s climate was noticeably warmer.
After they got out of the car, Brandon Piers held the curious Teddy in his arms. Aunt Claudia carried some of Teddy’s daily supplies, and Juliet Rosa followed behind. Alex instructed the servants to carry the luggage into the villa.
"Second Young Master, the private doctor is in the neighboring villa. If you need anything, you can directly ask for assistance," Alex said respectfully once they entered the villa and settled everything.
Brandon nodded, his gaze turning to the adjoining villa. "What’s the situation with that place?"
"I was just about to inform you. Initially, we wanted to rent it as well, but the farm owner had already sold it to an elderly couple from R Nation who have lived here for many years. Recently, their nephew and his wife have also arrived. I tried to negotiate, but they refused to rent it out. If you’re not comfortable with this, I can try to communicate again," Alex said, ready to take action.
"No need, just look into their background," Brandon waved his hand dismissively.
Alex immediately paused and pointed to the files on the table. "The information on the neighbors and farm owners nearby is in here, but it will take more time to cover a wider range."
"Got it." Brandon opened the file and looked through it, his eyes finally resting on the information about the elderly couple from R Nation and their nephew and his wife. There was nothing unusual. "Let’s rest for now; we’ll discuss this tonight."
"Yes, sir," Alex responded and left.
Brandon rubbed his brow and looked at his son, who was sitting on the floor in a romper. Alex had thoughtfully padded the area around the fireplace, making the room very warm.
Although the temperature in Durin wasn’t low, it was quite humid due to its location. Having a fireplace made the room more comfortable.
Brandon looked at his son, "Are you excited to see Mommy soon?"
"Dad..." The little guy called out to his father when he heard ’Mommy.’
Brandon sighed. Ever since the little guy had called ’Mommy’ once, he hadn’t said it again, no matter how much he taught. He thought for a moment and took out a photo of Abigail from his jacket pocket.
After Abigail’s incident, he realized how few photos he had of her. Even this one was taken accidentally. Pointing to the photo, Brandon tried to coax his son again, "Mommy, this is Mommy."
This time, Teddy didn’t call ’Dad’ again but looked curiously at the picture with his bright black eyes, as if trying to recognize the person in the photo. His mouth moved slightly.
Brandon could see the little guy was trying to speak, and his heart leaped with joy. "Teddy, this is Mommy. Mommy..."
"Ma-ma... Ma-ma..." Just when Brandon thought the little guy wouldn’t be able to say it, Teddy finally uttered ’Ma-ma.’
Brandon’s handsome face softened instantly as he playfully poked his son’s little nose, "Silly, it took you so long to learn to call Mommy."
The little guy didn’t know if he understood his words or not, but he didn’t pay attention to him. Instead, he reached out and grabbed Abigail’s photo tightly.
Seeing Teddy crumple the photo, Brandon’s face fell. "Let go."
Sitting on the floor, Teddy refused to let go.
Brandon got angry and reached out to grab it. The little guy, still holding onto the photo, started calling ’Ma-ma, ma-ma’ loudly.
Brandon’s anger dissipated instantly. He let go and said, "Alright, since you finally know how to call Mommy, I’ll let you off this time."
But the next moment, Teddy stuffed Abigail’s photo into his mouth and began to chew.
Brandon thought to himself, ".... Is this a pig? Eats everything!"
His moment of kindness was ruined by his son. He quickly took the photo away and carefully wiped the saliva off with his sleeve, then cast a resentful glare at his son.
Having lost the ’Ma-ma’ and getting a glare from his dad, Teddy was not happy. His mouth opened wide, ready to cry.
Fortunately, Aunt Claudia had already finished with the supplies. She came down holding a bottle and, seeing that Teddy was about to cry, quickly handed it to him.
He stopped crying immediately.
Just a moment ago, the bear cub who seemed to have lost everything was now happily sucking at the bottle.
Brandon thought, "....Fine, my worry was for nothing."
Nevertheless, he was still a small baby. After fussing all the way, he fell asleep while eating.
With the little one asleep, everyone else could rest as well.
The months were passing quickly, and the baby no longer needed nighttime feedings, so the adults could sleep well too.
After settling Teddy, Brandon and Alex went into the study.
After analyzing and integrating the information from the past few days, Brandon’s eyes fixed on a small island on the map. "The last signal disappeared here. The person might still be there, or the SIM card might have been discarded. Either way, I need to go there."
"I’ll arrange it immediately," Alex responded without delay. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Brandon nodded, gazing at the small dot on the map. The island wasn’t big. If Jeffrey Foster and Abigail were really there, he was confident he could find them.
Thinking of this, Brandon’s face displayed anticipation. He looked toward the bedroom connected to the study, where Teddy was sleeping.
Early in the morning, Brandon fed the little guy, washed his face and bottom, changed his diaper, finishing by putting on socks and clothes and tying a symmetrical bow tie at the collar.
Aunt Claudia, used to this routine at Piers’ Mansion, saw it as nothing new. But Juliet Rosa, seeing the Second Young Master for the first time, was dumbfounded.
She never expected the legendary boss to be a super dad. The whole set of actions was smooth and flowing, and there wasn’t a hint of impatience on his stunningly handsome face. In fact, the more she watched, the more she felt that a man taking care of a child could also look so charming.
Thinking about the boss traveling far and wide to find his wife, this kind of devoted and child-rearing man was truly irresistible.
Juliet couldn’t help but glance a few more times at the Second Young Master, only to meet a pair of cold amber eyes. She shivered and dared not have any more wild thoughts.
Brandon handed Teddy to Aunt Claudia, "I’ll be out for about three days. I’m relying on you for these days."
"It’s nothing, it’s what I should do." She couldn’t help but ask, "Do you have news of Abigail?" Aunt Claudia’s eyes filled with anticipation at the mention of Abigail.
Brandon nodded, "I need to confirm once I get there."
"I see, I see." Aunt Claudia was overjoyed. Since Second Young Master said so, Abigail would probably be found soon. She couldn’t resist nuzzling little Teddy. "Our Teddy will see Mommy soon."
Unexpectedly, Teddy reached out to the Second Young Master and said, "Ma-ma... Ma-ma..."
Brandon was stunned, thinking the little guy wanted him to hold him. But when he reached out, Teddy slapped him with his little hands and continued to call for ’Mommy.’
Everyone was a bit puzzled. After a while, Brandon thought of something and took out the photo he had cleaned for a long time last night from his pocket. Teddy happily grabbed it and said, "Ma-ma, ma-ma..."
Not only was Brandon stunned, Aunt Claudia also stopped in her tracks. Her nose tingled with emotion.
Brandon took a deep breath and looked firmly at his son. "Teddy, we will see your real Mommy soon."
