Quinton swung open the door to the restroom, only to find Baber, whose hands were sopping wet and
whose small face was contorted in disgust.
‘Adrian’ spoke in a voice filled with guilt. “I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to! I accidentally tripped my brother,
and he fell. His hands landed straight in the toilet.”
Quinton was speechless.
Kids really did have a knack for getting into trouble when you took your eyes off them for even a
second.
After seeing Baber hold up his hands in distaste, Quinton couldn’t help but find the situation both
amusing and pitiful. He reassured him. “It’s okay. A quick wash, and your hands will be clean again.
Come on, I’ll take you to the sink.”
Baber, who was quite the neat freak, felt uncomfortable all over because his hands had made contact
with toilet water. He nodded quickly and followed Quinton to wash his hands.
By the time Quinton had helped Baber wash his hands and turned back around, ‘Adrian’ was nowhere
to be found.
Quinton’s brow furrowed in worry. There was trouble brewing.
Meanwhile, the real Adrian was being held by Sophia in another room.
Adrian didn’t like this woman holding him at all. His face was a picture of rejection, and he was
stubbornly struggling. “Put me down!”
Sophia hugged him a bit tighter and chided him. “Tristan, stop fussing. Your dad and I have important
business here today. You need to behave.”
Despite Sophia’s gentle tone, Adrian still found her extremely annoying.
“I don’t want to be held. It’s too hot.”

Sophia frowned in displeasure. “Where is it hot? The air conditioning is on! You’re just making things
up!”
Adrian scowled, and his eyebrows twisted in distaste. “I feel warm, and I don’t want to be held. Let me
go!”
Sophia was growing impatient with the child. “Tristan! Can’t you just…”
“If he doesn’t want to be held, just let him down. Let him sit wherever he wants.”
The handsome man in a wheelchair, who had been sitting nearby, spoke up, his tone neither warm nor
cold.
Sophia’s face stiffened, but she had no choice but to let go of the child in her arms.
She had only wanted to put on a show of being a caring mother in front of the man. She didn’t even like
holding this child, who was never warm to her.
However, as soon as ‘Tristan’ was released, he scampered over to the man and raised his little arms.
“Daddy, pick me up!”
Without hesitation, Mareus’ picked up his son and placed him on his lap, gently wrapping his arms
around him.
Seeing this made Sophia’s face turn as sour as a lemon. She forced a laugh and feigned annoyance.
“Tristan, you said you were hot. So Mommy holding you is hot, but Daddy holding you isn’t?”
‘Tristan’ looked up at the woman he didn’t like and snorted. “Hmph! You’re not my mommy!”
“You… you…” Sophia’s face stiffened. She was unable to muster a smile. “Marcus, aren’t you going to
say something to him? He used to just refuse to call me mommy, but now he’s outright denying that I’m
his mother! After all I’ve done for him, this is how he repays me?”
Marcus glanced at a crestfallen Sophia, showing no compassion in his eyes. “If you respected the
child’s wishes more often, he would be willing to call you mother.”
Sophia looked hurt. “Marcus, are you saying that I don’t respect our child’s wishes? As a mother, I can’t
just spoil him, I have to discipline him. He’s as sweet as a kitten in front of you, but a wildcat with me.
Am I supposed to just let him run wild?”
Marcus looked annoyed. “Enough! We’re here to take care of business. If you have any complaints, we
can discuss them when we get home. For now, please don’t argue with the child. You’ll scare him.”
In Marcus’s eyes, Sophia saw no trace of concern or love. She felt hurt and resentment, but she knew
this was not the place to make a scene. She had to be careful not to ruin her father’s chances of
getting a good price for his land at the auction.
