Chapter 309 Doing A Favor Hypocritically
Wesley was not an ignorant kid. When he was with other children, he knew some friends'' parents got
divorced.
Even in the TV drama, generally speaking, when parents asked the question that which side to choose
between mom and dad, it meant that the parents would probably part.
Wesley certainly didn''t want to see this happen, and the only thing he wished was to be together with
mom and dad forever.
However, with dad asking, Wesley felt both hesitant and embarrassed.
Robert''s heart was sinking.
"Are you unwilling to answer dad''s question? It''s fine for you to choose your mom. I just wonder what
your answer will be."
"Honestly, I prefer to live with dad."
N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.
Wesley looked up and answered in a depressed voice.
If he had to make a decision, he preferred to be with his father.
In addition to what had happenedst time, he felt a little scared when his mother pushed him forward
instead of protecting him at the most dangerous moment.
Besides, he felt freer and happier with his father.
While staying by his mother''s side, he always felt the way his mom looked at him became strange
asionally, even making him frightened.
With a child''s instinct, he perceived that his mom sometimes detested him. Though his mother had
spent more time with him, he preferred his dad, who never detested him.
This was an unexpected answer to Robert. Since most of the time, Sierra was by his son''s side,
coupled with a child''s inborn reliance on his mother, Robert had been well prepared that Wesley might
choose Sierra. Yet the oue amazed him.
He asked again unconfidently.
"Wesley, you can tell me the truth. Do you really want to be with me? I know maybe you are afraid that I
may get hurt, so you said you''ll choose dad. But I want to hear the truth, and you can speak it out
bravely."
At the moment, Wesley sped Robert unexpectedly.
"Dad, do you want to dump me? All I just said is true. Comparing with mom, I like dad more. If let me
choose whom I want to stay with, dad would be the only answer. It''s not that I dislike mom, but I like
dad more."
Robert noticed the fear in his son''s words, but he couldn''t understand what he was afraid of. Anyway,
his answer made him relieved.
"I got it. What happened today is a secret between us father and son. Don''t slip it out, especially in front
of your mother, OK?"
Wesley nodded, of course, he wouldn''t say it out.
He did prefer his dad, but once he spoke the truth, her mom would be grieved. He didn''t wish his mom
to be sad either.
The two went on chatting casually for a while before Wesley asked Robert a question as they
approached the apartment Sierra was living in.
"Dad, you just asked me who would I choose between you and mom if I had to, so are you nning to
leave my mom and be with Annie''s mother?"
Robert didn''t expect his son would be so sensitive. He considered temporizing with a lie or fudge the
answer, but at the sight of his clear eyes as if he could be seen through, Robert responded with a sigh.
"There are some matters between your mom and I needed to be deal with, and I have not made a
decision with many thoughts in my mind at present. I can''t make up my mind until thest moment. You
don''t need to worry about it. I just hope you can grow up healthily."
Wesley was so young that he could only listen to whatever his father said. The two keep going towards
Sierra''s amodation.
After moving out of Robert''s vi, Sierra immediately rented a three-bedroom apartment in a well-
guarded centermunity.
Themunity had a good security system and was strictly managed as well. After walking in it,
Robert and Wesley went to the building Sierra was in and entered before taking the elevator to the front
of the door of Sierra''s apartment.
They knocked at the door. There was no reply.
Robert knocked several more times. Still, no one answered.
Then people he sent out had been monitoring nearby. Since Sierra moved out, Robert had been
ordered some people to watch Sierra''s movements in case the person behind her would show up.
However, Sierra seldom went out to go shopping or meet people. Most of the time, she only went
downstairs to buy some groceries in hermunity and did the cooking. She even didn''t visit malls
often. As he brought Wesley here to see her, his assistant confirmed to him that Sierra was home. Why
was she not there?
Robert thumped at the door, but still, no one answered eventually. He decided to call her.
While Robert was knocking at the door, Sierra was in the bathroom, speaking with Jayson on the
phone. Hence she turned on the tap in the bathroom lest someone would sneak in to eavesdrop on her.
Though she was in her own apartment, she still believed it''s necessary to be cautious.
"Jayson, what do you think Robert meant? I had nned to retreat in order to advance, moving out to
force him to hold the wedding in advance. At first, he had no reaction, but let me live outside. However,
soon after, he released the news on the media, stating the wedding would be held ahead of schedule.
What''s more, he determined to contend with Georgia for the inheritance. What on earth is his move
for?"
"After you moved out, has there been anyone around monitoring you? Do you think Robert is
suspicious of you?"
Jayson asked with a frown.
"I sensed someone has been monitoring my life, but I''m not if they are ordered by Robert. You know,
there is someone else keeping investigating me, like Georgia. After she inherited the SY Group, I feel
there have been many more people watching over me. I can''t tell if the guys monitoring me are
arranged by Robert after my moving out."
Jayson began to contemte.
"It has been a few days since you moved out, coupled with your identity as Wesley''s mother nominally,
there''s no way Robert would be indifferent to you. You attempt to meet him again to learn indirectly
what his n is before we discuss what to do next. We can''t be temporizing like this. If he persists in
taking his own course, we''ll have to seek for thest resort."
Sierra''s face darkened, yet she could do nothing but agree.
If Robert wouldn''t marry her, they had to take thest step, which meant the destruction of both sides.
While contemting, Sierra noticed Robert was calling, rendering her utterly rmed.
"I have to ring off, for Robert is calling. Let''s talkter."
Having hung up, Sierra pressed to answer Robert''s call.
"Robert,"
Sierra said calmly, but it was Wesley''s voice that came from the phone.
"Mom, we are in front of your apartment. Hurry and open the door. I miss you so much."
Sierra turned off the tap at once, walked to the door, and opened it.
Robert and Wesley were standing outside. On her opening the door, Wesley rushed to hug her
immediately.
"Mom, dad had been knocking at the door for a long time. Why did nobody answer? What are you busy
with?"
"I was listening to the music in my bedroom. Sorry for not hearing you. I didn''t know you were here until
I heard your phone call. Come on in."
Robert nodded. He stepped in and began to scan the room Sierra lived in.
He hadn''t been here before. Sierra found this ce herself.
There were not many things in the apartment. Obviously, Sierra didn''t add a lot of furniture after moving
in.
Thinking of his purpose to be here today, Robert started to talk to Wesley.
"Wesley, go to the bedroom and stay there for a while since I have something to say to your mom
alone."
Wesley left the living room reluctantly, leaving Robert and Sierra sitting on the sofa. Robert began to
talk.
"I found I failed to care about your mood and made you feel insecure as well after considering a lot in
recent days. I can''t marry you right now, but we can register in advance. The wedding remained at the
end of next month. What do you think of it?"
