44: I AM SO PROUD OF YOU

I AM SO PROUD OF YOU

"Do you have any person in mind who you want to be your daddy?" the child nodded again, and his eyes shone brightly.0

"Is he with us right now?" the child grinned and nodded again. John Howard could not believe his grandson's abrupt choice.

"Dad, what are you two talking about?" both the child and the grandpa giggled and make a high five.

"Sis, I think from now on, you'll lose your battle with your child." Liane said, laughing.

…

On the other hand, Clifford is enjoying the scenario. Little did he knew that Liane was observing him silently. Then without them noticing, she slipped from their table and called someone.

"Hi, yes, this is Liane Surey, yes the one who arranged that little game in the restaurant. How was our next plan? When will it happen?" the manager answered about the arrangement enthusiastically.

"We were already drafting the proposal for them, Mrs. Surey according to your suggestion."

"Don't worry, my husband has another luxurious private plane, and he is more than willing to let somebody use it so that either of them will not suspect that it is I who set them up. Besides, the budget is on me so don't worry. Just arrange everything according to their liking." The manager was overjoyed.

"We are doing our very best to make this plan possible and fun, Mrs. Surey…"

"In addition, I'll give you all a bonus if this gimmick will click and succeed." The manager was overjoyed.

The manager informed her that they will execute their 'plan' one of these days. After that, she hanged up and prayed that everything will go smoothly.

After an awkward hour, Gary approached them and whispered to his boss that he still have some meetings to do in VeanCorp. So he excused himself and bid farewell. Before Clifford left, the child went over him and kissed him on his cheek. In turn, he messed up the hair of the child. He has this urge to kiss the child, but he restrained himself from making a scandal out of it. He knew Gary will have a heart attack if he saw him kiss a child on the cheek aside from his nephew.

LATER THAT DAY, Ingrid instructed her housekeepers to clean the guest room, get her parents' things to and place it there. The family also decided to go and went to Veanco Square to tour Ingrid's parents after the househelps took her parents' things.

"Mom, do you know that Uncle Cliff also worked in VeanCo? I was in his office and it was so vast you could see the whole city from there." When she heard it, her face became stiff, and she decided to have a heart to heart talk with her child.

"Clark, can I have a talk with you regarding Mr. Clifford Briggs?" She took her child from a distance, and he let him sit in a chair, saying with a serious tone.

"I know you like him, son, but he isn't someone who you could just hang out with because he is a very, very busy man. Also, please I am begging you, stop saying that he is your father. It makes me sad."

The child sat there staring at his mother, trying to comprehend what his mother had said. But Clark could not settle what he believes about Clifford, so he just decided not to oppose her mother's wishes. Ingrid was relieved when she saw that her child did not argue with her and thankful that her child got her point. Her expression lit up upon observing her son's silence.

…

After they shop, they went home, and the dinner was ready to serve. Because Ingrid likes to eat at home and loves the ambiance of eating in it and not at the fancy restaurants. She also invited Lance to her house to join them at dinner.

When they entered the villa, her parents were astonished at her house.

"Is this what you acquired, dear?" her mother said in wonder.

"Fortunately, yes, it is, mom.." she said humbly.

"I couldn't be more proud of you, my dear daughter." Her father said in agreement.

"You really proved me well..."
