In the Hawke Family living room, Victoria Don was humming a tune, lazily sitting on the sofa and blowing on her newly manicured nails, waiting for Damon Hawke to return.
She had specially made soup to curry favor with Damon Hawke.
After all, the previous incident had significantly damaged Damon Hawke's impression of her. She needed to salvage her image somehow.
At this moment, Harry Soo, with his little hands behind his back, walked towards her with small steps.
Victoria Don glanced at him with a look of disdain.
"Dominic, what are you doing wandering around outside this late? Hurry upstairs to bed!"
Don't get in her way. When Damon comes back, he shouldn't be a third wheel for them either!
Harry Soo didn't say a word, but just smiled at her, his lively eyes sparkling, like a little fox plotting mischief!
Victoria Don frowned, a sense of alertness rising in her heart.
Just as she was about to say something, she saw the little guy run up to her and raise his tiny hand...
Victoria Don instinctively closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, she felt a stinging pain on her face and body.
Looking down, she saw her body crawling with countless caterpillars.
"Ah!"
Victoria Don was so frightened her face turned pale, she hurriedly stood up, frantically shaking off the caterpillars from her body.
"Dominic, are you looking for a beating? Daring to play tricks on me? I'm your mommy!"
"Hmph, you're not my mommy! You're an old witch!"
Watching Victoria Don's embarrassed appearance, Harry Soo made several funny faces at her, "Caterpillars love people with stinky hearts and lungs the most. Old witch, see how much the caterpillars love you!"
"Ah, it hurts! Are all of you dead? Hurry up and help!"
Victoria Don's face, hands, and exposed parts of her body were stung by insects, her frantic shaking looked crazy.
Several servants quickly ran over to help remove the remaining caterpillars.
Victoria Don's face was already swollen with several lumps, her complexion distorted with anger.
With a swift move, she lunged towards Harry Soo, who was about to escape, grabbed him, and pinched his butt and body hard a few times.
"Dominic, have I been too good to you? Daring to climb over my head and play tricks? Today, you'll get a proper lesson!"
Pain shot up from his butt and body, making Harry Soo cry out.
"Ah! Old witch, how dare you hit me? Let me go!"
"Still yelling? Dominic, I've been too indulgent with you! Today, I'll beat you until you realize your mistake!"
Victoria Don, beside herself with anger, pinned Harry Soo down and gave him a good thrashing.
"Ahh! Grandpa Butler, Tall Uncle, hurry and save me! Ugh, Little Treasure is going to be beaten to death by this old witch! Mommy, come save Little Treasure!"
Harry Soo cried out in pain.
The butler and Abin on the side were anxious, just about to step forward when a man's deep and cold voice came from the door.
"What's going on?"
Hearing this voice, Victoria Don finally regained her senses.
She let go of Harry Soo, forced out a few tears, and got up to walk towards Damon Hawke.
"Damon, look at Charlie, he's so out of line! He actually caught caterpillars and threw them on me! My face hurts, my body hurts, have I been disfigured?"
Damon Hawke was not in a good mood, and seeing Victoria Don's swollen face made his face even darker.
"Dominic, you're quite something! Uncle Lee, go get the whip!"
The young master was going to personally discipline the little master!
The butler was shocked and quickly said, "Master, the little master just recovered a bit, he can't take a beating."
"Can't take a beating? I see him itching for one, asking for it!"
Damon Hawke's aura was cold, his face covered in gloom.
Harry Soo shouted angrily, "Big meanie, you're hitting me for her? Are you blind? Can't you see she's a wicked woman? I think you've been doing business so long you've become foolish, ugh ugh..."
His little mouth was once again covered by Abin.
Abin's forehead was full of cold sweat, stuttering under the deathly glare from Damon Hawke, "Mr. Hawke, the little master hit his head and caught a cold, he's not recovered yet, I'll take him upstairs to rest first."
Little master, why are you talking nonsense again!
Provoking his own father every other day, what does he want?
He hoped the young master would understand his meaning.
The little master just changed his character due to a head injury.
He wasn't intentionally provoking his authority!
Abin hurriedly carried the little guy upstairs, Damon Hawke remained with a handsome face, surrounded by a low pressure.
Victoria Don, who didn't see Damon Hawke discipline the little guy, inwardly cursed Abin for meddling.
But on the surface, she appeared gentle.
"Damon, I'm fine, let it go, don't be bothered with the child, he's probably just too playful. Besides, I also need to apologize to Charlie, I was so angry earlier I hit him a few times, I don't know if he'll hold it against me."
On the outside, Damon Hawke seemed stern with his son, but in reality, he was extremely indulgent.
She needed to admit her mistake in front of him first, to prevent any discussion from the servants about what just happened.
"He's too naughty, you're his mommy, it's right to discipline him."
The man's face remained cold, yet the words he spoke weren't a rebuke.
Instead, he thought she did the right thing!
Victoria Don was moved, taking the opportunity to say, "Yes! Damon, you've been working too hard these past few days, I specially asked the housekeeper to make some tonic, let me get you a bowl?"
She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she felt Damon Hawke seemed a bit different towards her tonight.
Less indifferent, more patient!
It seemed like it was returning to how it was before Elara Don came back!
"No need."
Damon Hawke glanced at Victoria Don, "Let's go, I'll accompany you to the hospital."
He needed to clarify a fact, that she was his fiancée.
Whether he liked her or not, he had no reason to always be cold to her!
"Ah?"
Victoria Don was taken aback, watching Damon Hawke walk towards the door, she quickly followed.
A trace of joy surged in her heart, although she couldn't figure out the situation, as long as Damon Hawke was good to her, that's a good thing!
...
The next day.
"Tang Bao, mommy is going to work now!"
Elara Don, as usual, was changing shoes while saying goodbye to her son.
"Mommy, hug hug."
Dominic hugged Elara Don, inhaling her familiar fragrance, full of reluctance.
Today, he was going back to being himself.
He was so unwilling to leave Aunt Charlotte!
"This child, how come you're getting clingier and clingier!"
Elara Don laughed with delight, giving the little guy a kiss on the face, "Alright, mommy's leaving now! Be good at home, call mommy if you need anything, see you in the evening!"
"Mmm, mommy, goodbye."
Dominic waved to Elara Don, quickly turning his back, not letting her see his tears.
Sob sob!
So unwilling to leave Aunt Charlotte.
How great it would be if she could be his mommy!
Hawke Group.
Elara Don hurriedly arrived just on time.
With three minutes to go, she had to clock in quickly!
Her slim body agilely passed each employee, her destination in sight.
Just at the corner, a tall male figure suddenly came into view.
Elara Don couldn't stop in time and fell straight into the other's arms.
