In the Hawke Family living room, Victoria Don was humming a little tune, lazily sitting on the sofa, blowing on her freshly done nails, waiting for Damon Hawke to return.
She had specially made some soup to bring over and please Damon Hawke.
After all, the previous incident had greatly damaged Damon Hawke's impression of her, and she must somehow salvage her image.
At that moment, Harry Soo came over with his little hands behind his back, taking small steps toward her.
Victoria Don glanced at him with a look of disdain.
"Dominic Hawke, why are you still wandering around at night? Hurry upstairs and go to sleep!"
Don't get in her way here, and don't be a third wheel when Damon Hawke comes back later!
Harry Soo didn't say anything, just looked at her with a mischievous smile, his lively eyes darting around, like a little fox planning something naughty!
Victoria Don frowned, suddenly on alert.
Just as she was about to say something, the little guy ran up to her, raised his hand...
Victoria Don instinctively closed her eyes.
When she opened them again, all she felt was a stinging sensation on her face and body.
Looking down, she saw her body covered with countless caterpillars.
"Ah!"
Victoria Don was terrified, quickly getting up and frantically shaking the caterpillars off her.
"Dominic Hawke, do you need a beating? How dare you prank me? I'm your mommy!"
"Hmph, you're not my mommy! You're an old witch!"
Harry Soo watched Victoria Don's disheveled state, making funny faces at her, "Caterpillars love stinky-hearted people, old witch, see how much they love you!"
"Ah, it hurts! Are you all dead? Come help me!"
Victoria Don was being stung on her face, hands, and exposed skin, shaking like a madwoman.
A few servants rushed over to help remove the remaining caterpillars.
Victoria Don's face was already swollen with several welts, twisting her face in anger.
She lunged towards Harry Soo, catching him just as he tried to escape, grabbing and pinching him hard on the buttocks and body.
"Dominic Hawke, have I been too nice to you? Letting you climb all over me and prank me? Let's see how I teach you a lesson today!"
Pain coming from his butt and body, Harry Soo cried out.
"Ahhh! Old witch, how dare you hit me? Let go of me!"
"Still yelling? Dominic Hawke, I've spoiled you too much! Today you'll get a beating until you know your wrongdoing!"
Victoria Don was furious, holding Harry Soo down and giving him a harsh beating.
"Ahhh! Butler grandpa, big uncle, come save me! Boohoo, Bea's going to be beaten to death by this old witch! Mommy, come save Bea!"
Harry Soo cried out in pain.
The butler and Benny, worried beyond words, were about to step forward when a man's deep voice came from the door.
"What's going on?"
Hearing this voice, Victoria Don finally regained her composure.
She let go of Harry Soo, trying to squeeze out a few tears, and got up to approach Damon Hawke.
"Damon, look at Charlie, he's out of line! He actually caught caterpillars and threw them on me! My face hurts, my body hurts too, am I disfigured?"
Damon Hawke wasn't in a good mood, and seeing Victoria Don's swollen face made him even gloomier.
"Dominic Hawke, you're something else! Uncle Lee, go get the whip!"
The eldest was going to personally discipline the young master!
The butler was shocked, hurriedly saying, "Young master, the young master has just recovered a little, he can't take a beating."
"Can't take a beating? I think his skin is itching for it, needs to be beaten!"
Damon Hawke had a cold aura with a face clouded in gloom.
Harry Soo shouted angrily, "Big villain, you're hitting me for her? Are you blind? Can't you see she's a wicked woman? I think you're foolish from doing business, mmm..."
His little mouth was covered again by Benny.
Benny's forehead was full of cold sweat, stammering in the face of Damon Hawke's death glare, "Mr. Hawke, the young master bumped his head, caught a cold, he's not recovered yet, I'll take him upstairs to rest."
Young master, why are you talking nonsense again!
He keeps provoking his father every other day, what exactly does he want?
He hoped the master understood what he meant.
The young master just had a personality change because he hit his head.
It wasn't on purpose to challenge his authority!
Benny hurriedly took the little guy upstairs, Damon Hawke's handsome face remained solemn, with a very low pressure.
On the side, Victoria Don hadn't waited for Damon Hawke to discipline the little guy, she silently cursed Benny for meddling.
But she put on a gentle face.
"Damon, I'm okay, forget it, don't get upset with the child, he's probably just too playful. And I need to apologize to Charlie, I was too angry and hit him a few times, who knows if he'll hold a grudge."
On the surface, Damon Hawke appeared stern with his son, but he actually pampered him internally.
She needed to admit her mistake in front of him to avoid any gossip among the servants.
"He's too naughty, you're his mommy, teaching him a lesson is what you should do."
The man's face remained cold, but his words weren't blameful.
Instead, he thought she did the right thing!
Victoria Don's heart fluttered, taking the opportunity to say, "Yes! Damon, you've worked too hard these past two days, I had aunty make some tonics, let me serve you a bowl?"
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that Damon Hawke seemed a bit different towards her tonight.
Less cold, more patient!
It seemed like his attitude before Elara Don came back!
"No need."
Damon Hawke gave Victoria Don a look, "Come on, I'll take you to the hospital."
He needed to figure out a fact, she was his fiancée.
Like her or not, he had no reason to keep treating her coldly!
"Ah?"
Victoria Don was flattered, watching Damon Hawke walk to the door, quickly following him.
She felt bursts of joy in her heart, though unsure of the situation, as long as Damon Hawke showed her favor, it was a good thing!
...
The next day.
"Bea, mommy's going to work now!"
Elara Don, as usual, was saying goodbye to her son while changing shoes.
"Mommy, hug me."
Dominic Hawke hugged Elara Don, inhaling her familiar fragrance, full of reluctance.
Today he would return to being himself.
He didn't want to leave Auntie Charlotte!
"Oh, this child is getting clingier!"
Elara Don laughed joyfully, giving the little guy a peck on the cheek, "Alright, mommy's leaving now! Be good at home, call mommy if you need anything, we'll see each other tonight!"
"Okay, mommy, goodbye."
Dominic Hawke waved to Elara Don, quickly turning away to hide his tears from her.
Boohoo!
He really didn't want to leave Auntie Charlotte.
If only she could be his mommy, life would be so wonderful!
Hawke Group.
Elara Don arrived in a hurry, just in time.
With only three minutes before she was late, she needed to hurry and clock in!
Her slender body nimbly bypassing employee after employee, her destination in sight.
Only to turn a corner and suddenly have a tall man's figure come into view.
Elara Don couldn't stop in time and directly fell into the other's arms.
