My Secret Billionaire Husband

Chapter 2788 - 2796: Mocking Her for Not Knowing How to Soothe a Child

"The other two children behave so well, and Lucus isn’t even the youngest. Why is he acting so clueless? If he’s too shy and didn’t want to be on the show, then he shouldn’t have come."

"Lucus is only four years old, it’s only natural he misses his parents and wants to go home. The standards of those who criticize him are too high. Moreover, when the staff member led Lucus out of the elevator, he was fine, right? He only started making a fuss after seeing Omega Huntley."

"I also noticed that Lucus wasn’t crying or fussing at first. However, it seemed like he got scared when he saw Omega Huntley, and started crying and fussing. He said he didn’t want Omega to be his mom, which suggests he doesn’t like her."

"Children are very sensitive, they can sense whether someone has good or bad intentions. I think... Lucus might’ve sensed something, that’s why he behaved like he did."

As the little boy refused to let go of Edward Cooper, and Edward couldn’t get him to calm down. Just as they didn’t know what to do, Porter Rushbrook, who had been standing silently observing for a while, suddenly said: "Lucus, want to play a game with me?"

As soon as Porter finished speaking, the sobbing little boy in Edward’s arms suddenly stopped crying.

Slowly, Porter took out his phone and opened the app, King of Glory: "If you stop crying and listen to me, I’ll let you play a round. What do you think, do you want to play, will you listen to me?"

After saying this, he waved the phone in front of the little boy.

The little boy, who had been crying until his eyes were red and his face was tear-streaked just a second ago, looked at his phone, and his eyes lit up.

Porter hooked his lips, walked leisurely over to him, and squatted down: "Lucus, do you want to play the game?"

The little boy blinked and stopped crying instantly, his eyes intently focused on the phone, "Yes!"

"Sure, if you listen to me, I’ll let you play." Porter reached over and took the little boy from Edward’s arms into his own, then casually picked him up, "Now, you can’t cry anymore. I know you have a dad, but right now, I’m your dad. You’ll have to live with me for a while. No matter whether you like me or not, let’s get through these next two weeks together as our temporary father-son relationship, okay?"

"After these two weeks, if you want to go home or whatever, nobody can stop you. But before that, you should listen to me, your temporary dad, understood?" Porter handed his phone to the little boy and walked towards the room with him in his arms.

Then, everyone around them was left wide-eyed watching how the little boy, who had been making such a fuss just a moment ago, was pacified by Porter within a few words.

The little boy in Porter’s arms stopped crying and fussing, and obediently let Porter carry him away.

Edward watched for a while and exclaimed, "Never would’ve thought that Porter, a young man like him, would be so good at calming children."

The staff around them agreed, "Exactly, Lucus became obedient in front of him all of a sudden."

Annie Lawrence listened to their conversation, her face becoming increasingly unhappy.

She felt that Edward and the others were insinuating that she wasn’t good at soothing children.

And what the hell was Porter doing?

They were supposed to be on the same team.

He just went off with that rotten kid, without saying a single word to her from start to finish!

What was he trying to imply!

Was he deliberately giving her the cold shoulder because of Joanna Lawrence?
