She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor

Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Believe it or not, I’ll set up a child engagement for you right now

“Grandpa, what did you say?”

The collaboration between the Fuller Family and the Lewis Family had lasted for over a decade,

and its potential cancellation would undoubtedly be a significant loss for the Fuller Family.

Such a loss would be unsustainable even for the wealthy and powerful Fuller Family.

Someone needed to appease the anger of Waylon Lewis and Hope Williams,

and that person was undoubtedly Mia Fuller.

Old Master Fuller pondered repeatedly; this was the best solution.

“Send Miss Fuller to prison to reflect on her actions.”

Waylon’s expression was cold, devoid of any sympathy.

When Mia was dragged away, she cried incessantly, and Old Master Fuller, looking utterly exhausted,

naturally felt heartache seeing his own granddaughter heading to prison, already planning how to get her out.

The vast office gradually quieted down, Hope retracting her cold gaze and exhaling softly.

“Feeling better now?” Waylon handed Hope the warm water.

Hope slightly pursed her lips, “It can’t compare to the harm done to Willow.”

Willow had done nothing wrong.

Why should she suffer such treatment?

The thought infuriated Hope.

“Why didn’t you let me sever the partnership with the Fuller Family just now? Wouldn’t that have been more satisfying?”

With the Lewis Family being a major powerhouse in the marketplace, ending the partnership could lead the Fullers to a crisis or even bankruptcy.

Hope drank some water and set down the cup, shaking her head, “Just to satisfy anger and cause you loss too? I don’t think my temper is that capricious.”

“That loss means nothing compared to how you feel.”

Hope gave a faint smile, “Stop it, otherwise I’d be like some calamitous temptress.”

Waylon curved his lips and planted a kiss on Hope’s lips, “Then I’ll play the foolish emperor.”

Hope dodged his kiss, “Don’t be so shameless; we are still at the company.”

“Daddy, Mommy, what are you doing?”

Speak of the devil!

Waylon was embracing Hope when he saw the two little ones at the door, his expression instantly cooling.

“Why did you bring them here?”

“Bad Daddy, don’t you welcome us?” Luke stood hands on hips in front of Waylon, his little face very unhappy.

Willow rushed to Hope, and Hope directly pushed Waylon away to hold Willow.

The pushed-away Waylon looked at his occupied woman, his face turning dark.

“Maybe we should just send them to school.”

Otherwise, they would keep monopolizing his woman.

He had finally gotten a chance to be alone with Hope when these two little guys burst in, utterly unpredictable.

Waylon rubbed his throbbing temples.

“Bad Daddy, you just don’t welcome us,” Luke puffed up, glaring at Waylon.

Watching Luke and Willow able to be held by his woman made Waylon even more displeased.

Especially Luke, although Willow was a girl and it was fine, why should he always monopolize Hope?

Waylon, with a dark face, pulled Luke from Hope’s embrace.

Luke looked bewildered.

“Bad Daddy, what are you doing?”

“Don’t cling to your Mom.”

“Why not?”

“She is mine.”

“She is my Mommy; are you trying to compete with me for Mommy? Bad Daddy!” Luke fumed, stubbornly inching towards Hope’s embrace.

But Waylon pulled him back again, Luke’s little face full of irritation, “Bad Daddy, Luke is getting angry.”

“I don’t care, don’t cling to your Mom.”

“Why not?”

“Because you’re a boy, your Mom is mine, find your own wife to hug.”

“I don’t have a wife.”

“Go find one.”

“I can’t find one!”

“Such spirit,” Waylon persisted, “Can’t find one? I’ll go arrange a child-bride for you right now.”

Look at him, such a great father.

“I don’t want one, I just want Mommy!” Luke puffed up his little cheeks.

“You’ll have to, I’m arranging it now.”

Hope, caught between the squabbling father and son, couldn’t help but laugh and cry, “Waylon Lewis, what are you doing? Luke is only five years old.”

Was it necessary for him, as a father, to be so eager to find a daughter-in-law?

“He is still a boy.”

Luke sniffled, looking pitifully at Hope, like a little beast yearning to be freed.

Picking up on her son’s SOS, Hope quickly enveloped the miserable Luke in her arms, “It’s okay Luke, don’t listen to your dad’s nonsense.”

Luke, nestled in Hope’s embrace, triumphantly shot Waylon a smug look.

That cheeky kid.

Waylon clenched his teeth, reaching out for Luke, while the clever little guy clung tightly to Hope, “Mommy, quick, save Luke.”

Hope felt incredibly helpless, lifting her eyes to Waylon.

That look clearly dared him to lay a hand on her son!

Waylon, “…”

Accepting Hope’s warning look, Waylon compromised and reached out to Luke.

“What for?”

“I’ll hold you.”

“I don’t want to,” Luke replied with sheer disdain.

“You think you have a choice?” Waylon stretched out his long arm and yanked Luke into his embrace, settling him on his lap.

“Don’t hold me.” Luke vehemently pushed Waylon Lewis away.

He couldn’t have been more resentful.

Waylon clenched his back teeth.

“You think I’m eager to hold you.”

Waylon’s harsh tone made Luke’s eyes even redder.

“Don’t be such a baby, you’re a boy.”

“Boys are children too.”

“You’ve got a lot of nerve.”

“When you were my size, didn’t you want to be held by Mommy? Try crying without Mommy’s embrace, you’re just a bad daddy.”

Hope Williams watched the two extremely similar faces, one big and one small, glaring at each other, neither willing to compromise, and she laughed.

“Alright, Waylon Lewis, your son is five years old, how old are you? Must you argue with your son? Look at you.”

Hope picked up Willow and stood up, “Willow, let’s go with Mommy to buy groceries. Let them argue tonight, I’ll make something delicious for Willow.”

Willow happily nodded.

“I’m coming too.” Luke freed himself from Waylon’s arms and directly hugged Hope’s leg.

Hope looked at the little guy clinging to her leg, and Waylon reluctantly stood up.

Hope raised her eyebrows, “You both want to come?”

“Yes.” Waylon lifted Luke from Hope’s leg.

“Not even allowing to hold the leg! Bad daddy, bad daddy.” Luke flailed his arms and legs in the air, vehemently denouncing Waylon’s “misdeeds.”

Eventually, Luke couldn’t break free from Waylon’s grip. With a sulking face, he let Waylon carry him, resignedly accepting his fate, making Hope both amused and sympathetic.

Indeed, a son can never defeat his father.

Waylon’s gaze shifted to Willow in Hope’s arms.

Confronted by her father’s “loving” gaze, Willow blinked uncertainly, looked at her brother being carried, and obediently came down to walk.

Waylon was extremely pleased, holding Hope’s hand victoriously.

Standing behind, Luke and Willow found it ridiculous watching their bad daddy strut around.

“You really rule the roost as a father,” Hope laughed.

They reached the garage, and Waylon opened the passenger door for Hope, “You can’t spoil kids.”

“I think you have a hidden agenda.”

Waylon nodded ambiguously, “You’re my wife, of course, I have an agenda.”

“Who’s your wife?”

“Fine, girlfriend.”

Hope got into the car. Waylon opened the door for Luke and Willow, placed the two little ones on the back seat, and then walked around to the driver’s seat.

“You really want to go to the market?” Hope eyed Waylon in his suit and polished shoes.

“Why not?”

Hope looked at Waylon’s somewhat disappointed expression, and immediately said, “No, I mean, I’m going to the market. Are you sure you’re up for it?”

Because at this time, compared to the supermarket, Hope thought the market would have fresher vegetables.

But was President Lewis sure he had ever been to a market?

“I can.” Waylon started the car.

Hope guided Waylon to the market, and after half an hour, the four of them arrived.

Because the market was crowded with people coming and going, Hope worried about Luke and Willow getting lost, held Luke’s hand, and let Waylon carry Willow.

Just one arm was enough for Waylon to hold Willow, freeing his other hand to hold Hope, as if he feared she might get lost too.

A wave of warmth filled Hope’s palm, and she looked up at Waylon in surprise.

“It’s crowded.”

Hope let Waylon lead her, “What do you all want to eat tonight? I’ll cook.”

“We love whatever you cook.”

Luke and Willow grew up eating Hope’s cooking. Mommy always made delicious food, so they were never picky.

“Let’s buy a sea bass then. How about I make steamed sea bass for tonight?”

“Okay.”

Hope sometimes personally went to buy groceries. Luke and Willow liked fish, so she often bought fish. Besides, she was beautiful, had good manners, and due to her impression on the fish-seller, “Madam, you’re buying fish again today, and look, your husband came too.”

“Yes, aunty, do you have sea bass today?”

“Yes, yes, I’ll pick a plump one for you in a moment.”

Hope immediately said, “Thank you, aunty.”

The fish-selling aunty packaged the fish for Hope, and just as she was handing it to her, Waylon took it, “Give it to me.”

The fish-selling aunty admired the family, “Madam, your luck is too good, not only do you have both a son and a daughter, but your husband is so handsome too.”

Hope turned to look at Waylon.

He was indeed handsome.

“You and your husband are perfect for each other; your family of four looks like celebrities, and the two little treasures are so cute. You’re really blessed.”

A family of four.

Waylon looked at the woman in front of him, his handsome face becoming even more tender.

The term was really beautiful.

This aunt saw all kinds of people every day at the market, and she could tell at a glance how happy this family was. From the moment they arrived at the fish stall, the husband’s gaze had never left his wife, with a love that was entirely undisguised.

Truly enviable.

Waylon was in a very good mood, handing over a big red bill with a flourish, needing no change.

The praise only intensified.

After buying the fish, Hope also bought fresh vegetables and some meat. Throughout, they received various compliments, with Waylon giving money in hundreds like the God of Wealth Brown.

Hope smiled and sighed lightly; unsurprisingly, a big-time figure, stepping out to buy groceries without needing change.

Hope was in a very good mood today, and so were the three companions.

As the woman’s face revealed her happiness, Waylon’s gaze was unusually tender.

“Let’s go to my place,” Hope suggested.

“Okay.”
