Chapter 9 Home 

After listening to the guard, Arthur cracked a meaningful smile. He would like to see what such a boy would do on his own. He said to the guard, “It’s OK, I’ll handle it.” 

The quard sighed with relief in mind, nodded politely at Arthur, and then turned to leave And Arthur returned home and closed the door. 

In the living room, a boy was sitting on a luxurious leather crouch and looking around curiously. Arthur leaned against the wall of the porch and kept silent 

Theodore observed the layout of the villa where the cool color was predominant, showing the aloofness of the owner and his great taste everywhere. Theodore was very satisfied with Arthur’s taste, nodding his head, and then turned to look at him. “Uncle, why not take a seat?” Theodore said with a confident smile, seeming that he was the owner. Arthur raised his brows unobtrusively walked into the living room casually, and sat on the club chair close to Theodore with an impenetrable expression. “You don’t talk much…” Theodore murmured while appraising Arthur in his mind. Knowing that his silence couldn’t make the kid feel ill at ease, Arthur sighed slightly and asked, “What are you going to do? “Hee hee .” Theodore chuckled because the man finally spoke, then he took the banknotes out from his pocket and swayed them, saying “Give back the money to you.” He knew that Arthur would not get the money with his hands, thus he simply put it on the tea table in front of him. And then he spoke again. “Uncle, do you have a girlfriend? The reason why Theodore came here was to ask Arthur if he could pretend to be his mother’s boyfriend. If Arthur rejected the request, he would find another way. It was just a bit pitiful because he was satisfied with Arthur after all. And if his mom got a boyfriend who was the most ideal man to marry in Athegate, humph, he would like to see how that woman, Poppy, flaunted her “runner-up”. What?” Arthur never thought that such a boy would cut to the chase, so he deliberately feigned that he didn’t catch his words. “If you don’t have a girlfriend, can you pretend to be my mom’s boyfriend? She is beautiful and kind-hearted.” After all, Theodore was a child. Although he was smart, he couldn’t understand adults’ doublespeak. And he intentionally added, “Only pretending!” As expected, Arthur sneered irreverently in front of Theodore after listening to his words. He didn’t hide his disdain at all with his lips. “Uncle, are you sneering?’ Theodore asked, tilting his head and squinting, 

Tell your mom. Don’t daydream about it. Arthur just felt disgusted when he recalled the face of the woman with Theodore. “Hold on. My mom doesn’t daydream about it. It’s me. I only want you to pretend.” Theodore denied it directly and did his jobas a “lobbyist”. He said, “My mom is the most beautiful woman in the world. She has the best personality. She always loves me. She…” Theodore’s eyes almost twinkled like a star as he said these words. However, Arthur didn’t want to listen to his boast. “Stop,” Arthur interrupted Theodore Did a good woman use her kid to attract a man? What a joke! Arthur stood up and gave Theodore a cold stare. He had been extremely impatient. As he was about to speak, the doorbell rang again 

Theodore smiled sweetly while Arthur just scratched his head restlessly. What the hell of today? Why so many unexpected knocks at the door? Arthur went to open the door reluctantly. However, the uninvited guest surprised him. “Wom?r Opening the door and looking at the graceful woman, Arthur showed astonishment
