Chapter 1495
“Your siblings have finally made up. Come on, Baber. Come downstairs with Mommy and bring up some delectable treats. We can all enjoy them together.”
Baber was always the most sensible one. As his eyes shined like Layla’s, he nodded and spread his arms to embrace his mother. “Okay!”
Once Ellinor took Baber out, the two little ones who had just shaken hands and promised peace revealed their true colors.
Layla, with her arms crossed and chin raised, huffed. “Hmph! I won’t make up with you! You can fool them, but you can’t fool me! You’re not my brother at all!”
Tristan frowned, not giving her a pleasant look. “So we won’t make up? Fine! I only did it to prevent Mommy from getting too angry. I didn’t really want to make up with you either!”
Layla looked at him with disdain. “You have the nerve to call my mommy ‘Mommy’?! How shameless! Don’t you have a mommy of your own?”
Tristan fell silent.
There was nothing he could say.
He liked the pretty lady he called Mommy, but he knew well that she wasn’t his real mother. He was claiming someone else’s mother as his own.
He just couldn’t grow fond of his mother, Sophia.
Now that ‘Adrian’ was silent, Layla jumped down from the couch, walked up to him, and, like a little adult, stared at him. “Where did you send my brother? What do you want to achieve by taking his place here?”
Tristan felt guilty under her gaze. “I… I am your brother!”
Layla scoffed. “You’re lying! Hmph, you’re just like him. You suck at lying. The moment you lie, you blink non-stop!”
Tristan, already feeling guilty, blinked even faster. “You… you can’t prove that I’m not Adrian!”
“Just because I can’t prove it now doesn’t mean I can’t prove it in the future! Just wait; I’ll find evidence to expose you! If Mommy finds out you’re a little liar, she won’t spare you?”
The thought of the disappointing look on the pretty lady’s face when she found out the truth saddened Tristan.
He took a deep breath, nodded, and confessed. “You don’t need to find evidence. I am indeed not your brother, Adrian, and I never intended to take his place. I still have to go back to find my dad. I just like your mommy and want to stay by her side. I’ll leave on my own in a few days.”
Layla frowned. “You have a dad?”
Tristan nodded. “Yes, I have a dad.”
Layla tilted her head and asked, “Hmm… What does your dad look like?”
The image of his father surfaced in Tristan’s mind, and he said with pride, “My dad is very handsome. He’s the most handsome man in the world!”
Layla pursed her lips and shook her head. “I don’t believe it! The handsomest man in the world is my ‘uncle!”
Tristan asserted confidently. “Why would I lie to you? My dad truly is handsome. Your uncle might be quite handsome, but he’s a bit lacking compared to my dad.
Layla thought for a moment. “I still don’t believe it. You need to take me to see your dad. Seeing is believing.”
