The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 250

'Are children changing every day? Byron suppressed his lingering doubts and gently poked Theo's little belly. "Daddy knows you're still awake, open your eyes" Feeling ticklish, Theo opened his big, round eyes and glared at un, clearly unimpressed. "What do you want?" That familiar rebellious tone resurfaced again.

Byron furrowed his brow, his expression serious. "Have you been sulking at me lately?"

Theo blinked innocently, feigning confusion. "I haven't! Wheres that coming from?"

"You've been meditating longer these past few days, and you haven't been saying good morning or good night to me," Byron said

"Well, that's not something I can control. Theo replied.

"Do you have any issues with me?" Byron asked.

"I don't think so, but if you insist on thinking that way, there's nothing I can do. Theo replied.

Byron felt a subtle twitch in his brow at Theo's reply. He looked at Theo's expression-innocent yet defiant, as if to say, "You can think whatever you want; I'm not at fault. It nearly made him laugh in frustration. He was told that Theo had no issues, yet here they were. Byron sighed softly and asked, "First, tell me why you don't want me to get married so soon."

Once that topic came up, Theo was wide awake; his deep eyes sparkled with curiosity as he turned to Byron, eager to know, Who do you want to marry?"

"What's the matter? Do you have something to say about who I want to marry?" Byron asked.

"Yup." Theo sat up, his chubby little face serious. "The woman you want to marry has to get my approval first"

Byron raised an eyebrow, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "Oh?"

"If the woman you marry treats me poorly, secretly mistreating me when you're not around and then pretending I'm the one at fault when you're there, you'll side with her since she's your partner!" Theo declared earnestly, "They say that with a stepmother comes a stepfather; how can I not be cautious?"

He could guess why Will didn't want Byron to marry so soon. Honestly, he didn't want him to marry another woman, either. While feeling excluded was one thing, he thought, "But... Who told Mommy to like him!'

Byron hadn't anticipated Theo thinking so much about this; he must have been worried for quite a while. His expression softened a bit as he gently rubbed Theo's little head. "Don't worry, Daddy would never marry someone who would bully you."

Theo looked at him and asked, "Why did you and Mommy break up in the first place?"

Byron's lips pressed into a thin line, but he didn't evade the question. "Your mommy didn't want you," he said plainly.
