Chapter 20: Don’t Touch My Son, Bryan
Jacob was not panicked because Bryan had heard him calling him Daddy, instead he was slightly
nervous that Bryan had suddenly regained his consciousness.
Daddy hade around.
This was his Daddy.
Although the current situation was beyond his expectations, Jacob had swiftly regained hisposure.
He held the ball in his hands as he crossed his legs in a calm manner and sat face-to-face with Bryan
on the ground, “You’ve finally awakened, Mister.”
After the dizziness in his head had subsided, Bryan had noticed a small person beside him whom was
calling him ‘Daddy’, and when he had managed to sit up and take a good look at the kid’s face, he
could not take his eyes off of the kid due to astonishment.
This kid had a familiar face to him as he has a pair of phoenix eyes under his thick eyebrows while his
eyes were gleaming like the stars. His face shape was slightly round while his chin still retained some
baby fat, but above all, his naturally curly hair was the same as his which had made his features stand
out and appeared more striking.
Bryan had not even let go of his eyshes and hair as he continued to scan him for a long while, and
after scrutinizing his features, he proceeded to look his body up and down in a swift manner.
In the end, his gaze was fixated on the kid’s countenance again as he wondered to himself: Why did
this kid look so much like him?
“Wow, now that I’m watching you like this, you look a lot like my Daddy!”
When Bryan had heard his words, his wrinkled brows were furrowed even deeper as agitation had
crept up to him.
He could discern his childhood self from this kid, but his face was not as around as the kid before his
eyes back then while his clothes were also not as fancy as his. It was already good enough to be able
to dress warmly and eat his fill during his childhood.
“However, my Daddy has a very bad temper, and he’s not romantic at all. He’s not even gentle and
caring towards my Mommy, so I hate him a lot. My Mommy is extremely beautiful, but he doesn’t know
how to treat her right and treasure her.” Jacob started to condemn his ‘Daddy’ in front of Bryan while
still holding the ball in his hands.
Jacob had intentionally said those words for him to hear.
“Since you have helped to pick up my ball earlier, I will dress your wounds and bind it up as a token of
appreciation.” Jacob put down his ball and got up on his feet after he had finished his sentence, and he
sprung towards Bryan in the next second.
“Mm.” Bryan subconsciously reached out his hands to catch the kid whom was charging towards him,
and both of them soon fell to the ground as he let out a muffled hum from the impact.
When he had raised his head, the kid had draped himself all over him, and his gleaming eyes were
staring at him intently while a pure smile had broken out on his pink face.
Bryan was startled for a moment as his heart was suddenly brushed by something soft and tender
which had melted his coldness.
He pped Jacob’s butts and held him as he sat up with him in his arms, “There’s no need to. It’s
gettingte, so where are your parents? Why have they let you wander around by yourself?”
“My Mommy’s extremely busy as she has to work hard to earn money on her own for me to attend
kindergarten.” Jacob had draped one of his hands around Bryan’s neck while the other was resting on
his wounded arm as he wittingly poked at it.
He could vaguely discern that his Daddy’s expression had changed due to pain while his brows were
deeply knitted.
He continued to poke at his injured arm joyfully while thinking to himself: This is for giving Mommy the
cold shoulder today! Hmph!
Bryan turned his head and stared at his arm while his brows twitched for a few times, and he tried to
endure the paining from the wound on his arm as he asked with a calm face, “Where is your
Daddy?”
“He…” Jacob pursed his lips and looked like he was about to burst into tears as he replied, “Daddy has
gotten together with a bad woman and caused a lot of sufferings to Mommy. He doesn’t even care
about Mommy and me, and my sister!”
Jacob’s words had stirred Bryan’s memories of his painful childhood, and he had unconsciously

clenched his fists tightly as he uttered with a darkened face, “Don’t shed tears for a scum like him. It
would be better to not have someone like him in your life.”
Jacob wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes while slyness had shed across his eyes as he
whimpered in a pitiful tone, “You also agree that someone like him is a scum right, Mister?”
“Yes!” Bryan nodded with a solemn look on his face and proceeded to look around his surroundings as
he asked, “Where do you live? I’ll send you home!”
“My home…”
“Jacob!” A familiar voice had sounded from his back which had caused Jacob’s body to tremble slightly,
and he quickly turned around to look behind him.
Shirley had run out from behind the shrubs at that moment as she fastened her piercing gaze on the
man whom was sitting on the ground while holding her son, Jacob, in his embrace.
When she hadid her eyes on this exact scene, chilliness had coursed through her whole body while
she felt like her heart had almost leapt into her throat.
Bryan was actually holding her son in his arms right now, so could he have uncovered something?!
Shirley’s face whitened in an instant as only a sole thought had remained in her mind.
Her son was hers and only hers, so she would never allow anyone to snatch him away from her.
