Chapter 195 Jordy’s Plan

Patrick pulled on Ellie’s dress and said, “That bad woman wants to be my stepmom.”

Ellie scoffed and addressed Jayceon directly, saying, “So, your woman wants to be my son’s stepmom? You’re really something, seeing different women at once!”

Jayceon responded seriously, “I’ve ended things with her long ago.”

Ellie was skeptical. “I don’t believe you.” She took Patrick by the hand, leading him toward Brenna’s car, and asked him, “Do you want other women around your dad? Do you want anyone to be your stepmom?”

Patrick, still very young and unaccustomed to such adult conflicts, felt let down by Jayceon. The father he had just begun to know was potentially marrying another woman.

He shook his head sadly. “No.”

“Let’s leave,” Ellie said, resolved to distance her son from Jayceon.

Suddenly, Patrick remembered something important. “Mommy, I need to get the car model Brenna gave me.

Jayceon approached him, taking his hand and crouching down to make a heartfelt promise. “Patrick, I won’t marry anyone else. I’ll marry only your mommy.”

Patrick was confused and overwhelmed, struggling to grasp the complexities of adult relations

his hand from Jayceon’s grip, ran back to the restaurant to retrieve the car model, and then joined Ellie in

Brenna’s car.

Despite being struck, Fay felt a twisted satisfaction in having pushed Ellie and Patrick away from Jayceon.

She played the victim, clinging to Jayceon. “Look what your son did to me, Jayceon. I’m hurt, and the wound might become seriously infected. Can you take me to the hospital?”

Jayceon looked at Fay, feeling a twinge of sympathy. She had been by his side for over a year and was usually quite considerate.

However, he resolved that this was the last time he would take care of Fay. His heart truly belonged to Ellie.

In the car, Brenna tried to comfort Ellie. She said, “Don’t be upset. Jayceon isn’t just seeing Fay; he’s had many girlfriends. Since my welcome back party, I’ve kept an eye on him. Since your breakup, he has had at least three girlfriends, not counting those short–term flings.”

Ellie expressed her exasperation, saying, “I’m not angry, just feeling stupid. I knew nothing good would come from this, yet here I am. I had no plans of getting back with him.”

Soon after, Brenna drove Ellie and Patrick to another restaurant.

The place was cozy, and it was crowded, but they managed to find an available table.

As soon as they settled in, a man approached their table.

Thiago laughed. “I’ve been calling your names for some time. Why have you two been ignoring me?”

The irritation on Ellie’s face faded away, replaced by a welcoming smile. “Thiago, it’s been ages.”

Patrick, holding tightly to his car model, looked up and greeted Thiago brightly, saying, “Hi, Thiago! I want

lobster!”

Thiago chuckled and ruffled Patrick’s hair. “You got it, I’ll order lobster for you.”

He then said to Ellie, “I was just wrapping up a business meeting here with a client.”

Brenna had chosen this restaurant because she knew Thiago would be meeting a client here.

Ellie glanced around, curious about the client Thiago had mentioned.

Catching her look, Thiago quickly added, “The client has already left. Do you mind if I join you for a meal?”

They all settled down at the table, with Thiago sitting next to Patrick, helping him with the car model. “Patrick, this model was custom–made. I also have a red one; would you like that one, too?”
