Chapter 165 She Already Has A Child

On Monday morning, Brenna woke up early, she approached Dalton's door and knocked softly, thinking might still be sleeping she needed Dalton to look after Patrick today because she had a lecture schedided the Harper Group headquarters and wouldn't be available to care for him herself

Although she considered taking him back to Ellie, she knew Ellie well enough to guess she was likely still story leaving her with no option but to rely on Dalton.

But when the door opened, it wasn't Dalton who greeted her.

Instead, Patrick stood there, already neatly dressed, with a stylish little backpack over his shoulder.

Brenna expressed her surprise, saying, "Why are you up so early?"

Patrick responded, "Mommy, I find it hard to sleep in new places, and Dalton wouldn't let me cuddle with him....

Brenna laughed gently and stroked his head. "Let's stick to calling me Brenna. 'Mommy' might not sit well with your dad."

"Okay," Patrick agreed, showing maturity beyond his years with a thoughtful nod.

Brenna peeked inside and noticed Dalton was still fast asleep, unaware that Patrick was leaving.

She then led Patrick downstairs.

She said, "Today's a busy day for me. Could you stay at home and spend time with Dalton?"

Patrick's face fell slightly as he replied, "I'd rather stay with you."

Brenna was a bit puzzled. Could it be that Dalton had bullied Patrick? Maybe that was why Patrick didn't want to stay home with Dalton.

"Alright, you can come with me," Brenna said.
