Chapter 16 She Moves On "Daddy, do you like Mommy?" Daron's question kept echoing in Brayden's words, messing with him. Meanwhile, Yakira's figure flashed across his mind. "Mr. Brayden, something happened! Mr. Daron... He..." Suddenly, Aaron ran toward him hastily, looking grim. Brayden's gaze turned cold as he said, "What?" "Mr. Daron..." Aaron couldn't find appropriate words to tell Brayden. "Mr. Brayden, perhaps it's best if you go and see for yourself." Brayden's expression darkened as he stood up and strode out of the study. Immediately, he heard loud crashes from the living room. "Mr. Daron, please get down! This is very dangerous," one of the servants pleaded hastily. Right now, Daron was standing on the table, unlike his quiet Chapter 16 She Moves On demeanor from earlier. "Mr. Daron? Who are you talking to?" Brayden walked into the living room and saw Daron standing on the table, crossing his armsoverhis chest, the very image of a troublemaker. He looked up at Brayden. "Brayden." Hearing this, Aaron and the servants were utterly nervous. Only when ill would Daron dare to address Brayden by name. "Get down, Daron," Brayden commanded. Ignoring his order, Daron said while frowning, "I told you not to call me that. I'm not your baby boy. "Brayden, transfer 30 million dollars to this card." He tossed a card at Brayden's feet. Aaron hurriedly picked up the card and handed it to Brayden. "Why do you need so much money?" Brayden asked, not taking the card. Daron said impatiently, "Why should I tell you? Just do as I say." Chapter 16 She Moves On "I won't unless you tell me," Brayden said decisively, leaving no room for debate. Furious, Daron put his hands on his hips and glared at Brayden. "Brayden, do you think that will stop me from getting your money?" "Mr. Brayden, Dr. Morton is here," Deon came in and reported. Daron's expression changed at Deon's words, and then he snuck ne Was na out while no attention. "Mr. Brayden, Mr. Daron is gone!" Brayden turned around, but Daron was already nowhere to be seen. "Find him," he said concisely. "Yes, Mr. Brayden," Deon said. It was already late at night, but the Blanchard's villa was still brightly lit. "Mr. Daron... Mr. Daron..." Daron successfully slipped past every servant and fled. "Mr. Brayden, Mr. Daron has left the Blanchard's villa." Brayden's expression darkened to the utmost. "Bray, what happened? Why is Daron's condition flaring up again?" Ralph strode over. Brayden had no idea. Daron had been fine when having dinner. "Bray, I told you before. Daron's condition is very unstable right now. "Now that Yakira's back, you gotta give it a go no matter what. Unless you wanna see Daron's condition worsen." Ralph didn't get it. Brayden had looked for Yakira for five years, and now she was right here in Retston, he wouldn't let her see Daron. Why? Brayden said coldly, "She doesn't get to be Daron's mother." Ralph looked at him, puzzled. "Daron's condition will worsen if he knows about her." Brayden's voice was deep and devoid of any emotion. Ralph frowned. "Don't tell me this is about Yakira's children." Herschel had mentioned it the last time, and he remembered. Chapter 16 She Moves On "Are you saying ... you aren't their father?" He suddenly realized something and gawked at Brayden. Could it be... Yakira had cuckolded Brayden? He quickly shook his head to get rid of the ridiculous idea. "Seriously, Bray? Have you really looked into it? Maybe there's a mistake. According to Herschel, those kids are of the same age as Daron. If they aren't yours, then it means Yakira had children with another man right after giving birth to Daron. Is that really possible?" Yakira moved on that quickly? Ralph was even more puzzled and curious. Seeing the look on Brayden's face, he presumed Brayden wast pretty sure about it. But Yakira had loved Brayden so much back then. For him, she had discarded everything else, including her pride as the heiress of the Wilkinson family. Would she really betray him that quickly? Ignoring his question, Brayden strode away to look for Daron. "Wait for me, Bray!" Ralph chased after him. Deon reported, "Mr. Brayden, Mr. Daron went to Goldew Supermarket." Brayden said, "To Goldew Supermarket." "Yes, Mr. Brayden," Deon replied. After dinner, Yakira took Minnie and Abel downstairs for a walk. When they were in Peraham, they did this practically every day. There was fitness equipment and play areas for children in the residential community. Minnie's attraction was drawn by kids at the play areas. "Minnie, be careful!" Yakira chased after her. Abel, on the contrary, wasn't interested-he found them too immature. "Mommy, I'll go for a walk over there," he said to Yakira. apter 16 She Moves Un "Alright. But stay within the complex, OK?" Yakira reminded him. She knew this wasn't Abel's thing and wouldn't force him to do anything he didn't like. He nodded obediently. "Don't worry, Mommy. I'm wearing my phone watch. And of course, I'll stay nearby." "OK." Yakira nodded and wasn't worried. She knew both Minnie and Abel were well-behaved and always kept their promises. Within a minute, Minnie became friends with the kids at the play areas. Yakira sat aside, watching. Seeing the bright smile on Minnie's face, she couldn't help but smile as well. Suddenly, a kid crashed into her. She was almost bumped to the ground. "I'm sorry," Daron quickly apologized. She looked at him, puzzled. "Abel? Didn't you say you wanna take a walk around?" Daron's crystal-clear eyes were filled with confusion. In his alternate personality, he had no idea what the other Daron had experienced. He thought, "Who's Abel?" "Abel, what's with the rush? What happened? Are you hurt? Let me see." Yakira gave him a thorough once-over. Daron widened his eyes. He thought, "Is she my mommy?" Then Yakira paused and looked at him suspiciously. "Abel, you weren't wearing this when we went downstairs, right? Did I remember wrong?" She clearly remembered Abel was wearing a black shirt and black casual pants. But now, he was wearing a floral-print T-shirt and jeans. They were two completely different styles. "Mommy, you remembered wrong. This is exactly what I've been wearing this whole time," Daron said quickly. She nodded, taking his word for it. Her memory had worsened after she gave birth. Sometimes, she'd totally forget about what she wanted to do in a split second. "Mommy, hug me." Daron spread his arms. She smiled gently and picked him up. Daron leaned against her arms. He thought, "I didn't know till now that Mommy's embrace is so warm." On the other end, a group of men in black were searching Goldew Supermarket. "Have you found Mr. Daron?" Deon asked them. "No, we haven't." Brayden stood outside the supermarket with a grim expression. Deon strode toward him. "Mr. Brayden, we've checked the surveillance footage. Mr. Daron ran toward the apartment complex over there." Immediately, Brayden turned around and strode toward the complex.
