Chapter 310 Adopt Bob


    He gently poked his soft chubby cheek with his finger and teased, "Come on, I just used you as an


    excuse to see her. You are just as stingy as that woman. However, as you have temporarily taken


    my surname, I shall treat you as my own and teach you how to be generous!"


    "Plop! Plop! Plop!"


    Seeing that he paid no attention to him, James found him more and more interesting and wanted to


    tease him. With a poker face, James pretended to be serious and said solemnly, "If you stare at me


    again, I''ll take away your feeding bottle and then you will starve!"


    The baby who was drinking form milk wasn''t afraid of him at all. Instead, he took the bottle away


    from his pouted mouth and belched at him. Then he continued to suck on the bottle as if nothing


    happened.


    James was speechless.


    All of a sudden, he came up with a bizarre idea, "How about I tell Maria that I shall adopt you?"


    Anyway, he was not afraid of raising a child. In the future, he and Maria would have two more


    children and by then, Bob can y with their children.


    In this way, his grandfather didn''t have to send people looking for Bob''s parents everywhere. If


    Maria agreed to his adoption n, it would be like killing two birds with one stone.


    On her way to HL Group, the enraged Maria hade up with multiple ways of teaching James a


    hard lesson. However, before she could get mad, the scene in front of her instantly cooled her


    down.


    In front of the French window, the man stood there with the baby in his arms and they both stared at


    her at the same time with innocent eyes. The man frowned slightly and the baby looked tearful but


    obediently leaned against the man''s arm. He had supported him easily and securely with one long


    arm.


    The scene of the father and son being together was so beautiful that Maria couldn''t help but sob.


    She controlled her mood and asked in a trembling voice, "Was he crying all this time?"


    "He''s just finished crying," replied James tly. He still had the same aloof expression on his


    handsome face.


    Maria tried to calm down and challenged at him with a cold voice, "He is your son, please don''t


    bother me next time!" She said so but she still quickly went over to pick up the baby in his arms.


    "He is not my son." He was afraid that she would misunderstand him, so he denied it again.

    When she came to pick up the baby, he immediately let go. With a slight grin on his lips, je let her


    take care of Bob naturally.


    Maria held Bob tightly to her chest and coaxed softly, "Have you sent someone to buy more milk


    powder?"


    "He has already eaten." He was concerned that she wouldn''t believe him, so he lifted his chin


    slightly to the other side of the room.


    Following his gaze, Maria saw an empty milk bottle on the table near the cradle.


    She breathed a sigh of relief, but she was afraid that he would see through her bluffing. So she


    raised her voice and asked, "Why do you call me if you have food for him?"


    "I have no experience in taking care of children. You have." "But I''m not a nanny." James walked up


    to her and stared at her pouted angry lips. Then his eyes fell on the sleepy baby in her arms, "Do


    you like him very much?"


    A hint of vignce shed through Maria''s eyes. She quickly lowered her head and mumbled,


    "Nonsense. Everyone will like such a cute child. He wants to sleep. Keep your voice down!"


    James cast a profound look on her shy face. He wasn''t speak in a loud voice in the first ce.


    Besides, why should he lower his voice just because Bob wanted to sleep? James changed his


    mind again. He didn''t want Maria to adopt the baby anymore. He was concerned that the baby


    would bother Maria all day long in the future and he would see her less often.


    Well fed and contented, Bob fell asleep soon. Maria held him tightly and didn''t want to put him into


    the cradle. She sat quietly on the sofa and let the child rest in her arms. She gazed at his rosy


    cheeks as he was sound asleep, her heart was full of happiness.


    "He''s asleep," James reminded her.


    Maria instantly red at him, "Shut up!" She could see that Bob was fast asleep.


    James'' face darkened, he was somewhat jealous of the baby.


    A few minutester, he again opened his mouth, "The baby will go to my ce tonight. You too."


    She raised her head in confusion. When she was about to ask something, he quickly exined,


    "Grandpa and grandma want to have some free time of their own. I don''t have any experience in


    taking care of children. You shoulde and take care of him."


    Maria was not pleased with his answer at all. She stared at him hard, trying to figure out his real


    agenda. "You can ask the maid to look after the baby." Several maids in the mansion were chosen


    by Augustine himself and could be very handy in this situation.


    "You know how I feel about random strangers. I don''t like others to go there."


    "Then why don''t you tell the so called strangers off when theye and clean your house?" She


    curled up her lips scornfully.


    "They went in to do the cleaning only when I was away. I will be at home tonight and I don''t want to


    see other people. You areing with me tonight." He took it for granted and his face looked


    absolutely calm and normal.


    As a matter of fact, Maria was even wondering whether he had already known that the child was


    his.


    Atst, Maria pretended to agree reluctantly, "Okay, okay, but you have to promise me one thing."


    "Shoot."


    "Bob will be sleeping with us."


    Sure enough, when James heard her request, he furrowed his eyebrows angrily, "Why?"


    Bob was just a bait he threw out to catch her attention. Now that Maria had been hooked, Bob


    should just go away.


    "No why. I''m not like you, irresponsible. Since we have decided to take care of the child, we have to


    be responsible to him to the end. He''s only several months old. How can he sleep on his own? If


    you don''t agree, I''ll take him to my ce. I''ll personally take care of him all night long if need be. I


    shall send him to grandpa tomorrow morning."


    James almost wanted to roll his eyes. Her answer was so perfect that he couldn''t find anything


    wrong with it.


    In the end, for the first time, Bob got to be back home with his parents.


    Maria and Bob took off first. James'' driver drove them home, making sure they arrived home safely.


    Things had not been easy for Maria these days. Many people were guessing whether Bob was the


    illegitimate child of her and James.


    Now that she could be left alone with her son, Maria was definitely in a good mood. She held the


    child close to her chest and walked around the vi happily. Regardless of whether he could


    understand or not, she introduced every room to him, "This is the library. See? Your father is so


    extravagant. You must be a good child who studies hard when you grow up. This is the guest room.


    If I can''t afford you in the future, I will give you to your father. The whole house will be yours."


    In fact, Maria thought her idea was not bad. If she could tell James the truth about Bob, then


    everything of James would belong to Bob eventually.


    However, on second thought, she didn''t think it was a good idea. When Bob grew up, he should be


    able to make his own decision. Maria respected Bob''s personal will whether he wanted to be with


    her or James.


    When James arrived hometer that evening, Maria was ying with the happy baby on the sofa in


    the living room. The cook was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen.


    Hearing the baby giggling in the living room, James felt a little nervous. At this moment, he finally


    realized what he had missed.


    He had missed the young and innocent Maria and of course their Arthur.


    He changed into his slippers and walked into the living room. A beautiful smiling woman came into


    view. She was casually sitting on the sofa and Bob was lying in herp. The two of them were


    holding hands, and the little fat feet of Bob randomly kicked on her belly.


    He could feel that his chest was filled with happiness. ''It is time to have a child with Maria again,'' he


    thought.


    "Bob you are such a little cutie pie. Oh, little cutie, your daddy is home!" Maria noticed the man


    standing not far from them, he had a coat hanging on his arm.


    Hearing the word daddy, James frowned and quickly said, "Maria, you know he is not my son." He


    didn''t understand why she said so to piss him off.


    "I know. I know everything." A strange look quickly shed over her face as she picked up Bob


    gently, "Come and say hello to daddy!"
