Chapter 1163

Brittany's heart was as soft as a marshmallow.

"Ms. Lynette, dinner is ready," the butler reminded, with just the right touch of formality. Holding Daniel's hand, Brittany walked to the dining room, with Eltham trailing behind them.

"I found out what he likes to eat. Dinner is his favorite," she mentioned, hoping to lighten the mood.

Daniel rushed to pull a chair out for Brittany, casting an annoyed glance at Eltham. "It's not needed!"

In his mind, anyone trying to take his mom away was the villain.

Brittany was surprised that Eltham had gone to the lengths of finding out Daniel's preferences. He really was a master of playing his cards right, even when it came to a child.

Eltham seated himself, unfazed. "Sooner or later, your mom and I are going to get married. You might as well start calling me 'Dad.""

Daniel clenched his teeth in anger. "That's nonsense!"

His mom would never marry someone like him!

Eltham seemed determined to make Daniel face reality. He looked at Brittany, "Bri, what do you say?"

Brittany frowned, "Eltham, he's just a kid."

Eltham shrugged, letting the topic drop for now.

Daniel sat down, puffing up like a little rooster, worrying about his mom but not wanting to show any weakness in front of Eltham. He believed in his mom!

He wouldn't fall for Eltham's tricks!
