Love’s Second Chance by Sworth Dinsley

Chapter 4 Taken Home By A Woman

Anna was taken aback, and before she could answer, John, who was standing next to her, desperately signaled to her with his eyes.

Everyone present could tell that the little boy liked Anna very much. If Anna could seize the chance to establish a good relationship with him, it would be perfect.

Anna had no choice but to pick the little boy up again.

The little boy seemed very happy, holding on tightly with both hands, his eyes shining brightly.

Anna liked the little boy as well. She walked out while holding him.

When they got outside, she smiled and thanked the little boy, “Thank you for standing up for me, sweetheart.”

“You’re welcome. She’s just an annoying woman. My dad has plenty of them around him, and I’m used to it.”

The little boy spoke in a childish but domineering manner. At this moment, he looked like an adult.

Anna found it amusing and said, “How old are you? Are you sure you’re already used to it?”

The little boy sighed and said in a serious tone of voice, “There’s nothing I can do. Because my dad is handsome, those women swarm around him like flies. They’re really annoying. But you’re different. You’re beautiful and gentle, and I really like you, so… I will claim you as mine!”

Upon hearing this, Anna stumbled and almost fell, doubting if she had misheard.

“Claim me as his?” she repeated in her heart in disbelief. She was actually being claimed by a four or five-year-old child!

Anna laughed and thought to herself, “Do you even know what ‘claim’ means? You want to claim me?” But she didn’t take it to heart and planned to carry the little boy downstairs and then return to work.

But the little boy looked at her expectantly and said, “You didn’t say anything, so that means you agreed, right?”

Anna chuckled and replied, “Yeah, I agreed.”

“Really? That’s great! Then you’ll come home with me later.”

The little boy smiled happily, and his fair little face became rosy because of that smile, making him even more adorable.

It even made people unable to resist wanting to give him a kiss!

However, Anna held back her eagerness to kiss him and jokingly said, “Go home? Let’s not do that, okay?”

The little boy looked serious as he said, “You’ve already agreed to let me claim you. Are you trying to go back on your word? My dad said that lying and deceiving people will make your nose grow longer.”

Only then did Anna realize that this little boy was serious. He was not joking at all.

But… this was just too bizarre. He was still so young. How could he say something like “claim you as mine”?

How did the Parker family teach their children?

During the conversation, the group of people had already reached downstairs.

A luxurious Rolls-Royce was parked at the entrance.

The bodyguard bowed and opened the car door, but the little boy was still clinging to Anna, waiting for her response.

Anna felt a bit overwhelmed by his attention and quickly said, “Sweetheart, let’s talk about this later, okay? I have to go to work soon, and you should go home quickly. As for the matter of being claimed… well, let’s discuss it another time.”

“No, you’ve already agreed to it. You can’t go back on your word,” the little boy insisted firmly.

Anna suddenly felt a headache coming on and blamed herself for speaking without thinking twice.

What should she do now? If she didn’t agree, it would be considered deceitful, but if she agreed… well, he was no older than five years old. She would be viewed as a pedophile.

Just as she was struggling with it, the little boy said again, “Do you not want to come to my house?”

Anna nodded quickly and said, “Yes, the Parker family is prestigious, and they surely have many rules. We’ve only just met, so if I were to go, I might be mistaken for a fraud. So, I absolutely cannot agree.”

The little boy tilted his head and thought for a moment, seeming to find it reasonable. He then said, “Well, if that’s the case, we don’t have to go to my house. We can go to your house.”

“Cough, cough, cough…”

Anna choked on her saliva. How did the conversation circle back to this?

“And that’s not possible either?”

The little boy was unhappy, with his eyes turning red as he pitifully looked at Anna. “Don’t you like me?”

Anna looked at him and felt her heart breaking into pieces.

How could she not like him? She liked him very much!

His rosy lips, adorable and handsome appearance, and the way he smiled could melt anyone’s heart. How could she resist?

So, two seconds later, Anna reluctantly agreed, “Alright, alright, I’ll take you home. Don’t cry, okay?”

After saying that, she carried the little boy and placed him in the back seat of the car.

The little boy hid in Anna’s embrace, smiling triumphantly.

At that moment, in the CEO’s office at the Parker Group, William Parker was sitting behind his desk, looking at a financial report.

Zoey Foster, his assistant, entered the room with a cup of coffee and placed it on the table while giving a report. “Mr. Parker, Mr. Justin’s bodyguard called just now, saying that Mr. Justin caused a scene at Wilby Company today.”

William sat upright and responded calmly without even lifting his head, “If he wants to cause trouble, let him, as long as he doesn’t hold a grudge. Any losses of the other company will be compensated.”

Zoey cleared her throat and continued, “There were no losses, but… I heard that he was taken home by a woman.”

“A woman?”

William finally raised his head, his brows furrowing slightly. “What woman?”

“It seems to be a female employee from Wilby Company. It’s said that Mr. Justin took a liking to her and refused to leave her side. He even insisted on claiming her as his,” Zoey said, feeling a bit awkward.

Upon hearing this, William’s face darkened as expected. “Tell Charles that he will be sent to manage our business in Frilica for the rest of his life if he teaches Justin any more nonsense like that. He can never come back.”

“Yes,” Zoey quickly replied. Then, she cautiously asked, “Should we send someone to pick up Mr. Justin?”

William rubbed his forehead with a headache and said, “He’s stubborn. No one can persuade him when he’s in a bad mood. I’ll go. What’s the address?”

“It’s in Northernville, in a residential area called Flowery Residence.” Zoey quickly provided the address.

William nodded without saying anything else. Then, he grabbed his car keys and left the office.
