CHAPTER 6: CHAPTER 6: DON’T EVEN THINK OF FOOLING ME INTO ACCEPTING A STEPMOM

Elias watched the little guy who was starving yet still stubborn, "Eat your food, and in a week, I’ll give you a mom."

The little guy’s pale face with black-and-white eyes was full of mistrust, "I don’t want a stepmother. Don’t think you can just find some woman to fool me. I’m not falling for it."

Elias was choked with anger, "No stepmother!"

No stepmother means biological mother.

The little cub’s bright grape-like eyes instantly lit up.

Elias squinted his deep, cold eyes, "Let’s hope you don’t regret it then!"

The little cub raised his head high, "I won’t regret it!"

Elias sneered and turned to order Uncle Coleman.

"Uncle Coleman, go to The North Family personally."

Uncle Coleman was shocked, "Young master, you are going to..."

"Propose!" Elias saw the little cub finally obediently eating and dropped these two words before striding out.

Seeing this, Uncle Coleman hurriedly chased him to the living room.

"Young master, are you really planning to marry that woman home?"

Elias: "Didn’t you say that Baby is still young and needs a mother? You’re right; instead of guarding against it, it’s better to solve the root issue."

Uncle Coleman: "But what I meant was..."

"I know. But do you think that kid is so easy to fool?" Elias sneered.

Uncle Coleman fell silent. That young master of theirs had indeed inherited the intelligence of the person standing before him, making it truly difficult to fool him.

However!

"That woman’s character, the young master should be aware, she has no trace of kindness towards the young master. The young master is naturally perceptive. If he finds out that his mother doesn’t love him and would sell him off... the young master is still young. Isn’t that a bit cruel for him?"

Uncle Coleman couldn’t help but worry. Especially since the little guy has been frail since childhood, he feared the worst might happen...

What he could consider, Elias, being the father, naturally knew it clearly.

"Don’t worry, the child of Elias Hawthorne is not that fragile." Elias said, "Moreover, it’s the path he chose for himself, so he should bear the consequences. Inform everyone to pack up; it’s time for us to head back."

Uncle Coleman withdrew, and the rest area fell into silence.

Quinn Thorne poured two glasses of wine, walked over, and handed one to him: "Talking tough, yet the one who cares most about the little cub is still you. Look, you even dragged yourself into this."

The position of Young Madam of the Riverfall’s top family, The Hawthorne Family, is something many would desperately want to attain.

As long as the biological mom of the little cub had some sense, she would at least pretend to be a nurturing mother.

Moreover, after marrying her off, keeping someone within sight is nothing to worry about.

Elias took the wine glass and drank it down in one go.

......

Raina North avoided all the tracking and finally returned to her apartment in the city center by sunset.

She kicked open the apartment door, and after a day and night of frustration, she finally exploded.

"Casper North, come out and face your demise!!!"

As soon as the door opened, there was a little cub with a three-head height and a foolish husky half the person’s height, both kneeling obediently at the door.

When they saw Raina, both the person and the dog raised their identical innocent and pitiful-looking eyes, giving Raina goosebumps all over.

Raina: "...Casper North, stop it. Pretending to be pitiful won’t work on me."

The little cub, Casper, sighed like a little adult.

"How could I be pretending? I am truly pitiful. As the only man in the family, I have to shoulder the responsibility of supporting the family at a young age, facing scorn and indifference from the world, suffering heartaches and hardships. While others eat full meals, I only have gruel, while others go to school, I carry bricks..." Speaking emotionally, he even wailed, "Little cabbage, turning yellow in the field, born and lost dad..."

The foolish husky joined in as background music, howling as if it lost its mom: "Awooo awooo~"

Watching this pair, Raina’s facial features twisted.

"Stop! One more wail, and I will break all the legs you have!"

The person and the dog immediately fell silent, especially the foolish husky, subconsciously clenching its hindquarters with its back legs tight.

Better preserve all five legs.

Raina rubbed her throbbing temples and looked at the pitiful little face in front of her. If not for the fact that the little guy had the same scheming and dexterous peach blossom eyes as hers, she almost fell for it.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that this little guy is only five years old, but his intelligence can rival that of a Harvard Ph.D., a bona fide genius baby.

Raina sneered coldly, "I think I get it now. You’re blaming me for not finding you a dad with mines at home!"

The person and the dog both shuddered, and seeing Raina circle past them to sit on the couch, they immediately slid to kneel before her, faces full of currying favor.

Their small dark heads shook and shook, the handsome, cute little face filled with seriousness and determination beyond their years, "How could that be? To have a mom like Raina, who combines beauty and intelligence, embodies heroism and righteousness, I don’t miss a daddy at all."

"Woof woof!" That’s right, that’s right.

Raina chuckled, sweeping her cold eyes, "Kneel straight."

The person and the dog immediately knelt straighter than green onions and jade bamboos.

"Casper North, you’ve gotten capable, even learning to deceive mom. Do you know if mom didn’t run fast, she’d already be locked up by now?"

"Mommy is amazing, mommy is mighty, mommy is the best in the universe, Casper loves you." The plump little claws made two hearts, the sugar-coated artillery shell continued its assault.

Unfortunately, Raina had long seen through him.

The corner of her mouth twitched, looking at the little cub pretending to be cute, taking a deep breath...

Damn it, this was her own doing.

What to do?

Hold it in.

She tossed over this time’s loot.

"Take it to the buyer, money to be transferred into my account." Raina sinisterly threatened.

Casper’s little face fell, holding his heart full of grievances, "Mommy, am I not your most beloved son anymore?"

"No." Raina was cold and arrogant, "Dare embezzle a bit, and I’ll break your legs!"

Casper’s cheeks puffed like a pufferfish, "Mommy, if you’re like this, you will lose me."

Raina: "That’s great, I can raise another dog."

Casper widened his eyes, his dark little face was one of cute naivety, then he sighed long, "Oh, woman, thy name is fickle and ruthless."

Sighing and working at the same time.

Not long after, Raina received all the payments from this venture.

Looking at the digits on the screen, she couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. This cub of hers was a Chinese pixiu in his past life, eyeing money, only taking in and never spitting out. But any time he got money, it was in her account. This time, how generous.

Raina squinted her peach blossom eyes, suspiciously scanning the little cub once over.

Raina sharply sniffed the scent of conspiracy.

"Little rascal, what did you do this time?"

Casper grinned, smiling with pure innocence.

Raina increasingly felt something amiss, precisely at this moment, her phone rang.

"Boss, you’re exposed!"

Raina: "???

"The Dark Tower issued a bounty, globally pursuing you! Someone is auctioning your information online, each piece going for a hundred million. Your places in Country M, X, Y have all been listed online..."

Raina: "!!!

After hanging up the call, Raina’s cold eyes scanned, catching the little cub trying to sneak away seeing the situation unraveled.

"Casper North!"
