Surprisingly enough, Matthew was now calm.


    It turned out that Waylen had asked the driver to get Ollie from Alexis.


    So the moment Matthew caught sight of the puppy, he stopped crying and began to y with it happily. Right now, he was in the yard with Ollie, smoothing the puppy''s fur under the warmth of the sun.


    “Daddy! Mommy!” he squealed in joy and ran towards them when he saw Marcus and Melissa get out of the car. The puppy which had alreadye to like him very much promptly followed him.


    Bending down to scoop Matthew into his arms, Marcus said to Waylen in a respectful tone, “Dad, we came to pick up Matthew.” Waylen cleared his throat when he heard this.


    He had no intention of letting Marcus and Melissa off the hook so easily.


    With his hands on his waist, he scolded them, “How could you be so irresponsible, huh? Raising a child is not a game. You can''t keep shifting the responsibility back and forth between each other! Now, take your son back and make sure you take good care of him or there will be consequences. I''le check on him whenever I have the time, so don''t even think of trying to fool me.” Melissa didn''t dare say anything in her defense.


    It was Marcus who spoke as he caressed Matthew''s head affectionately, “Come on, Dad, you only helped us take care of Matthew for just a few hours. Why are youining so much?” “How dare you use me ofining?” Waylen fumed.


    “No! Of course not. I''m not... Never mind, Dad,” Marcus sighed and gave Matthew a kis on the forehead before handing him to Melissa. Then he turned his attention back to his father.


    “Dad, I have something to discuss with you.” Taking the cue, Rena asked Melissa to have a cup of tea with her and promptly led her outside.

    As Melissa went, she turned to nce at Marcus for directions.


    But Marcus waved her off. “Go ahead. There''s no problem at all” he assured her.


    By now, Rena''s sharp eyes had noticed that Melissa''s Lips were broken.


    In her mind, it was the fault of Marcus.


    But she didn''t say anything about it for the meantime.


    Instead, she said to Melissa in a gentle tone, “Let Matthew go y with the puppy in the yard.”


    “I want to have my own puppy tool” Matthew immediately piped in. “I want one like Ollie. He has the same pattern like the milk cow.” “He''s a Dalmatian,” Marcus pointed out with a smile, patting the boy''s head affectionately.


    But this exnation only made Matthew feel lost and confused. He frowned and blinked his eyes innocently as he tried to process what his father had just said.


    Eventually, the men went to the study for their private conversation.
