Chapter 03—Father and Son.

   "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?" A 7-year-old boy yelled at the top of his lungs.

Austin is standing in front of the baby boy while placing one hand on his waist and holding the ball in another hand.

    Ryan!" Austin raised his eyebrow gesturing for Ryan to behave and calm down.

Ryan shrugged his shoulders.

    "Pop, she can't become my mother."

Yes, Austin shared his opinion with Ryan about his marriage to Jenny.

    "Why?" Austin asked him back while hitting the ball on the floor back and forth.

    "She is our babysitter." Ryan sighed.

    "Can't a babysitter be a mom? Just because she is a maid, and that's the reason you can't accept her?" Austin kicked the ball to the ground before catching it in his hand and looking at Ryan.

    "I don't see rich and poor backgrounds between the people—I am your son." Ryan looked at Austin while placing his hand on his waist.

Hehe, Ryan is looking so cute in his sports vest.

Austin grinned at the thought—he doesn't have any bad opinions about anyone.

    "Then, what is the problem, son?"

    "When our biological mother abandoned me and Anna, how can I trust another woman to take care of us?" Ryan raised the question—the question is higher than his age and personality.

Austin sighed while throwing the ball onto the basketball net.

     "She was taking care of you and Anna for two years."

    "She was with you guys every minute."

    "She shared your happiness and your tears." Austin chuckled while glancing back at Ryan.

     "Has she ever disappointed you?"

Ryan takes a few seconds while going into flashback before nodding his head in a denied way.

    "While being a babysitter, she took care of you, so after being your mom, she can't be disappointed, can she?"

Ryan doesn't say anything; he doesn't have any answers to this question.

He picks up the basketball on the ground and throws it into the net.

A pin-drop of silence runs between them—no one says anything for two minutes.

Then Ryan turns back to his father.

   "Anna doesn't know anything about our biological mother, but I know the reason why she left us here like this."

Austin decided to shut his mouth during the argument, but his eyes turned red while his fist clenched tightly, memorising the past with his ex-wife.

   "We were kids and didn't have much connection with our biological mother back then, but dad, Anna is emotionally connected with Jenny—what if she abandons her as well after some time?" Austin glimpsed at Ryan as he raised the question.

   "Anna is so sensitive, she can't pull up if Jenny leaves her in the middle of the path."

    "And, I can't see my sister breaking down. She waited so many years for her mother. She cried a lot every single day." 

    "If Jenny leaves us after becoming our mother, our family will be devastated." Ryan said everything in one gust while moving his hand.

Austin smiled at the thought that he loves his sister so much.

Austin sits on one leg, keeping his hand on Ryan's cheek—he is thinking about his sister but not for himself.

   "Jenny can't cheat us; I believe Jenny is different from your biological mother!" Austin muttered, and there was superb enthusiasm in his tone.

Ryan decided to shut his mouth, letting his father complete his opinion.

    "I won't let anyone hurt you guys one more time; I mean it."

   “Anna loves Jenny so much, and she wants Jenny with her forever—this is the only way to keep Jenny with Anna forever."

    "Jenny is going to quit the job due to some reason, but Anna heard our conversation, and you know what her reaction was?" Austin rolled his fingers through his cheek.

    "What?" Ryan asked.

   "She cried and pleaded for me not to let Jenny go anywhere!"

Ryan looked at his father in response—he had no idea.

    "Ryan, you are smart enough to make your own choices, but Anna is different—she is sensitive and innocent, but never mind, I won't let her hurt in any way." Austin chuckled.

     "Anna must be happy to have Jenny as her mother, but your opinion also matters to me." Austin showed his finger while saying.

Ryan lowered his head while thinking about the situation—he is a kid, for sure, but a carbon copy of his father, Austin.

    "If you approve, I will marry Jenny and make her a member of our family."

Ryan moved his head up and looked at Austin.

Austin stands up, placing his hand in his pocket.

He is wearing a red sports vest and looks so hot with messy hair and a sweating body.

   "If you don't approve, I promise, I won't give a second thought about marrying Jenny again!" Austin expressed himself so seriously while looking at the sky in the first place before sharing a look with Ryan.

    "I just say, give a chance to Jenny, my boy, but the judgement is all yours." Austin stroked Ryan's head.

Ryan blinked his eyes while making a bunny face, but he decided to shut his mouth to take some time to think about the matter.

   "Now, stop sounding so serious!" Austin muttered while picking Ryan up in his arms.

   "You are sounding like my father!" Austin tickled Ryan with his beard while making him laugh.

   "POPS, NO!" Ryan laughed while placing his hand on Austin's face, trying to pull him back.

   "You can't order around me!" Austin growled while tickling Ryan on the stomach with his fingers and planted a kiss on Ryan's cheek.

   "Oops, don't kiss me—I don't like it." Ryan acted like a 70-year-old man.

Austin scoffed and then laughed, thinking that he was exactly a copy of him.

Soon, Ryan jumps on the ground while running around and throwing the ball toward Austin, playing with him for a while.

Both son and father are looking super cool while running after each other—they are laughing and giggles are echoing around the place, making the place cool.

Both father and son do not smile in front of others but remain serious and arrogant, but when both are together, they laugh and have fun like this alone with each other.

Austin William is 29 years old and the CEO of the AR Textiles business, one of the top two companies in Paris.

He was divorced 5 years ago when his kids were 2 years old—his wife did not even like to take custody of the kids, so Austin got the kids custody.

He caught her cheating on him after two years of marriage, and back then, he was a normal employee who was working with the company for two million.

    "Let's go and check on Anna!" Ryan looked at Austin.

Austin smiled and nodded his head in response.

Ryan jumped into bed.

Anna, his cute twin sister, is sleeping peacefully.

He caressed his hair and planted a kiss on her forehead while sleeping on the bed.

Austin was standing outside while leaning against the door.

     "Ryan, I have also thought a lot about marriage." Austin sighed while rubbing his thumb on his forehead.

     "The girls propose to me every single day to make me their boyfriend, but they don't know that I am not boyfriend material."

Austin yelled inside while closing his eyes and crossing his arms around his chest.

    "Every single girl only wants me, but no one is ready to give mother's love to my children!" Austin scoffed and yelled inside while opening his eyes and looking at his kids.

    "I loved your mom so much, kids, but she not only disappointed me but also hurt you guys." Austin clenched his fist with rage as soon as his ex-wife appeared in front of him.

     "I chose Jenny because I felt a concern for both of you in her eyes, and Anna loves her so much."

      "I believe she will give you the love you have been missing for decades!"

Austin stepped inside and wrapped the blanket around the kids before planting a kiss on their foreheads.

However, he comes out, and Jenny smacks his mind.

He takes out his phone and drops a message, asking about her mother.

   "How is your mother?" He stepped into his room as soon as the message was sent.

Jenny is with her mother in the hospital.

Jenny is wrapping the blanket while covering her mother when her phone beeps, grabbing her attention.

She stepped back while picking up her phone in her hand, and her eyes widened as soon as the screen pooped—the message from the boss.

She quickly pressed the button and opened the message—hehe, this is the first message from him.

All over the chat, messages are only sent from her side, and he has seen every message but hasn't replied to any of them.

She is biting her lips, and her heart is literally fluttering while her heart starts pounding into her ears.

She clicks on the type message and starts typing.

   "Yes, she is fine. Thank you." She ended the message with a smiley emoji before sending it.

On the other hand, Austin jumped into bed when the phone beeped while he was getting a message from Jenny.

Jenny is waiting for him to open the message, hehe, and here he opens the message, seeing a reply. But after that, Austin does not understand what to talk about, so he spins the phone in his hand.

    "Boss, what are kids going? " The notification flashed up on the screen, catching his eye.

A smile appeared on his parted lips at her concern for kids.

   "Yes, both are asleep."

As soon as the message reaches Jenny, she replies immediately, and a smile is not leaving her face.

    "I am sorry, boss, I couldn't come today—it is my responsibility to stay with the children till I put them to sleep." She ended the message with a sad smile.

On the other hand, the message was sent to Austin, and he chuckled.

He doesn't want to cringe, but a bright smirk appears around his parted lips.

    "Don't be sorry. I am the one who gave you permission to stay there with your mother." 

   "Take care of your mother; you don't need to come tomorrow as well—I will take care of them." He sent the message.

A smile appears on Jenny's aroused lips at his concern.

    "It's okay, boss. I will come tomorrow, and my mother is fine now. Thank you."  She replied with a smiley emoji. 

Austin opened the message while checking out the reply but did not reply; rather, he felt that Jenny was caring for his kids.

   "She is making me feel every second that my decision is good about marrying her and making her the mother of my kids." He yelled inside and the smile aroused on his lips

Jenny looked at her mother while taking her palm in her hand.

   "Mom, you can't believe me, but my boss proposed to me for marriage."

  "He wants to make me a member of his family.”

    "He wants to make me the mother of his kids." She wanted to shout and share the matter with her mother, but the mother was not in a good condition to hear.

   "I've been watching him for two years—he is a busy person yet spends time with his kids every night, and he looks very different then—cute and handsome." She yelled inside and smiled, memorizing the soft side of him.

    "But I am afraid. How will you react to marriage with my boss?" She sighed while closing her eyes for a second.

   "Moreover, he doesn't know anything about our family—if he finds out about my father, I don't know if he will still be willing to marry me even then." The tears rolled down her cheeks.
