Chapter 11 Swapping of the Boys

• Downstairs, Thea dragged Rowan away. The boy took off his sunglasses, his eyes flashing with anger, and said in a serious tone, "That old man is horrible, Teddy. You must not have feelings for him."
• Thea replied, "I didn't have any feelings for him in the first place."
• "If you are together with him, he will definitely abuse me. For the sake of my health and safety, you must stay away from him, okay?" Rowan changed tactics again and started hugging Thea’s calf to plead.
• Thea was speechless.
• Maybe it was because Rowan grew up without a father that he had always been very sensitive. He even hated all men who approached Thea, no matter how young or old.
• Now that he had suddenly come face to face with Sebastian, he must be worried that she and Sebastian would be together and ignore him.
• "He has women everywhere and isn’t a responsible man. He’s not as polite and obedient as me, who can do everything. I will be good, and I can also take care of you in the future, so don’t be with him, okay?"
• Thea's heart softened, and she lowered her head to give the little one a kiss on his forehead.
• "I will not be with him. I only care about you. Satisfied?"
• Rowan was very happy to hear that as he immediately discarded all his negative emotions and pointed to his cheek. "I’ll allow you to kiss me here again."
• "I've put on lipstick, so I'll kiss you again after removing my makeup at night."
• Rowan immediately complimented Thea, "I still like your natural look better. It’s fresh and full of charm."
• Thea felt stupefied when she heard that. "Where did you learn that from?"
• "The internet," Rowan replied coolly.
• In the future, I have to ban the Internet for him! What has he been watching all day long? I keep feeling like I’m being seduced by my own son! Moreover, he’s not even 4 yet, and he’s not even supposed to learn all the alphabets properly yet!
• Benedict had been following the mother and son from nearby, and when he saw Thea kiss Rowan’s forehead and Rowan asking for a hug from Thea, his heart was full of envy.
• If I have a mother, can I also do that?
• His nose burned, but unfortunately, his father was not willing to tell him who his mother was, and he was not allowed to ask more questions. He was lost in thought when Thea, who was not far away, suddenly turned around.
• Stiffening, Benedict nervously and hurriedly turned sideways to hide behind the jewelry counter.
• His heart thumped hard; he did not know why he had to hide. Perhaps it was because even he despised his own act of stalking others. He felt like a thief, trying to find comfort from the happiness of others, even if just a little.
• At this moment, Thea went to the storage counter not far away to pick up the set of racing models she had stored just now. Somehow, the key card seemed to be invalid. Therefore, she had no choice but to let the attendant handle it for her.
• Rowan obediently listened to Thea's instructions and stood at the door waiting for her to return, holding Thea's handbag tightly with both hands. After waiting for a while and not seeing her coming out, Rowan suddenly felt like peeing. However, he was afraid that he would miss Thea if he left for the restroom.
• Thus, he looked around to find some greenery on the opposite side of the street. There were some dense shrubs there, so if he went there to pee...
• Clearing his throat, Rowan quickly weaved through the crowd like a small monkey with sharp movements. He looked back at the door from time to time, and finally, just as he was excitedly about to get into the shrubbery...
• Screech!
• An emergency brake sounded abruptly, and a Bugatti Veyron stopped beside Rowan.
• The car door was pushed open from the inside, and Gregory looked at Rowan with trepidation and a long sigh of relief. "Thank goodness! Thank goodness you're okay. Young Master Benedict, the bodyguards said you ran out. I was so worried…”
• Rowan looked warily at Gregory and the stout bodyguard inside the car. "What do you want?"
• "To take you home, of course." Gregory knew that Benedict was upset after having an argument with Ethan, so he politely advised, "Don't blame your father. He actually cares about you."
• Father? Could it be that old man, Sebastian Jennings?
• But Rowan had not seen these two people at all just now, so maybe they were human traffickers. However, do traffickers all drive luxury cars and kidnap children in broad daylight?
• "Don't come over! If you come over, I'll shout for help—" Before Rowan could finish, Gregory pulled him into the car. He knew that the boy was very stubborn when he was angry, so the first thing to do was to take the boy back first.
• The car drove off and disappeared at the end of the road, leaving only a trail of smoke and a light-colored lady's handbag on the ground.
• At this moment, Benedict, who was hidden in the corner, slowly stepped out of the darkness. He recognized the car that carried Rowan away because it was the spare car in the garage of the Jennings Manor.
• Gregory should have taken Rowan back to the Jennings Manor because he thought that boy was me.
• Cautiously looking around him, Benedict quickly walked over and picked up the handbag that fell on the ground. He could still faintly smell the milk aroma belonging to Rowan mixed with the faint fragrance of cape jasmine belonging to Thea. The fragrance enchanted not only Ethan but also Benedict as well.
• He held on to the handbag and went into the mall, originally intending to just return it to Thea...
• "Rowan, sorry. There was a situation, so I came back late." Thea jogged all the way back to the front door and naturally took Benedict's little hand.
• As Benedict’s gaze fell on his wrist, he suddenly had a bold idea.
• "It's okay. I didn't wait for very long," he replied politely.
• However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Thea's expression suddenly change. She furrowed her eyebrows, and those starry eyes locked on him. "You…"
• Benedict immediately tensed up. Could it be that Thea has realized who I am? Even Gregory was not able to distinguish me from Rowan, but Thea can tell?
• Wracked by anxiety, Benedict felt like he was facing the worst nightmare of his life!
