"Where’s your daddy?"
"Look! Here he is." Evan Quinn puckered his lips towards Landon Lawson, his playful and adorable look, truly endearing, yet Clara Quinn was utterly bewildered. She turned her head to look at Landon Lawson, then at Evan Quinn; their features were strikingly similar, as if cast from the same mold.
"This... this!" Clara Quinn could hardly believe her eyes. When did Landon Lawson have a son? Such a big deal, how come no one knew? She turned her head and looked at Landon Lawson with a questioning gaze.
Clara Quinn stood there in a daze, even when Landon Lawson walked past her holding Evan Quinn’s little hand, she didn’t notice. By the time she came to her senses, Landon Lawson’s figure was already gone.
"Who’s the mother of this child?" At that moment, Clara Quinn only wanted to know who the mother of this child was, someone who could give birth to a child for Landon Lawson.
Clara Quinn followed inside, where Landon Lawson and Evan Quinn were already standing in the dining room.
"Mommy!" Evan Quinn’s chubby little body, seeing Sienna Quinn that moment, quickly let go of Landon Lawson’s hand and rushed towards her. Clara Quinn, who followed closely behind, stood there in shock. Did she hear wrong? That little child actually called Sienna Quinn "mommy"?
Could he be the child of Sienna Quinn and Landon Lawson?
How could this be? Who does she think she is to give birth to a son for Landon Lawson! All the anger boiled in her chest at that moment, ready to erupt at any time.
Sienna Quinn squatted down, catching Evan Quinn’s soft little body, gently ruffling his hair, her gaze directed towards Landon Lawson standing behind her, her expression not very pleasant. This was at the Quinn Family, and no one knew of Evan Quinn’s existence, yet now Chloe called her "mommy" in front of so many people, how could this secret be kept?
"Why are you here?" Sienna Quinn was caught off guard by the appearance of Landon Lawson and Evan Quinn, especially at the Quinn Family.
No one in the Quinn Family knew of Evan Quinn’s existence, and she didn’t want anyone to know either. But ever since Landon Lawson discovered Evan Quinn, everything seemed out of her control, making her feel uneasy and afraid.
Landon Lawson merely smiled slightly at Sienna Quinn, speaking in a voice only she could hear, "Of course, I came to pick you up."
Sienna Quinn squinted her eyes at Landon Lawson, trying to figure out his ulterior motives.
Amanda Warren stood up in shock when she heard the child call Sienna Quinn "mommy," staring at the child in her arms with disbelief, temporarily forgetting that Landon Lawson was beside her.
"Sienna, is this... your child?" Amanda Warren pointed at Evan Quinn, unable to see his face clearly because he was facing away from her.
"I am mommy’s son." Evan Quinn answered in his childish voice. Because of his heavy bangs, Amanda Warren didn’t recognize him immediately. She turned her head and exchanged a glance with Tom Quinn, who snorted coldly in understanding.
"Did you have a child abroad with another man? Was it out of wedlock or are you married? How could you not tell your family about something so important? It’s incredibly disrespectful. Aren’t we your elders?"
After Tom Quinn finished speaking, he glanced at Landon Lawson standing beside him, "My apologies, President Lawson. It’s us who failed in educating Sienna."
Old Mrs. Quinn’s expression was dark. The entire world knew about Sienna Quinn’s earlier marriage to Landon Lawson. Their union was supposed to support the Quinn Group in business, yet Sienna Quinn inexplicably left five years ago, disappearing completely.
Although no official news of divorce came from Landon Lawson, rumors spread that they divorced when Sienna Quinn left.
Now, five years later, Sienna returns with a child. Could it be she left Landon Lawson for another man and had a child abroad?
Old Mrs. Quinn looked at Landon Lawson, who had never visited the Quinn Family even during marriage. This time, was he here to settle scores? If Landon Lawson were to come after the Quinn Family because of Sienna’s betrayal, they would have no defense.
"How could you do something so disgraceful? How could you face the Quinn Family and President Lawson?"
Old Mrs. Quinn trembled as she stood up, her face extremely unpleasant, shouting at Sienna Quinn.
Sienna Quinn stood there, dazed; how could she not understand their fears? Suddenly because they’re afraid Landon Lawson might target the Quinn Family.
Amanda Warren approached Old Mrs. Quinn, gently patting her back, "Mom, don’t get upset, what if you harm your body? Sienna, you’ve been too reckless in your actions."
She then aimed her gaze at Landon Lawson, bowing her head, "My apologies, President Lawson. It’s entirely Sienna’s doing; please don’t take it out on the Quinn Family."
Sienna Quinn glanced around. When Amanda said those words, no one contradicted her. Clearly, between the Quinn Family and her, they were more worried about themselves, even the one she called grandmother didn’t speak a word in her defense.
Sienna Quinn scoffed, her mocking laughter standing out sharply in the dining room.
"This is the family you just claimed to cherish? Your attitude wasn’t this when you were speaking to me earlier. How ironic, in times of crisis each flies separately."
The blatant mockery shifted the expressions of several people, even Amanda Warren, despite her deep scheming, couldn’t maintain her composure, gripping Old Mrs. Quinn’s hand into a fist, staring sinisterly at Sienna Quinn.
"When you’ve disgraced our family, how can you still speak so confidently? Not only have you contributed nothing to this family, you’ve only caused trouble. From today, you will no longer be a part of the Quinn Family."
Tom Quinn angrily pounded the table, his jowls shaking with the motion, the menacing look driving home the reality of these people to Sienna Quinn. In the face of interests, where is the familial bond?
Only when it’s useful does family exist in their mouths.
Evan Quinn’s chubby little hand wrapped around Sienna Quinn’s neck, his plump little face pouting, grumbling unhappily, "Mommy... they have such ugly eating manners." Chapters first released on ⓝovelFire.net
Evan Quinn’s voice was just loud enough for everyone present to hear.
His innocently candid remark made everyone blush, Tom Quinn’s face turned red as he weakly shouted at Evan Quinn, "No manners. Whose bastard are you?"
"I’m this bastard!" A chilly voice followed, lowering the room’s temperature by a few degrees in an instant. Landon Lawson pressed his thin lips, his furrowed brow making everyone shiver.
"Yo... your son?" Tom Quinn’s voice trembled, lifting a finger to point at Landon Lawson, then at Evan Quinn, evidently frightened by Landon Lawson’s words.
