A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 310

He gently poked his soft chubby cheek with his finger and teased, "Come on, I just used you as an excuse to see her. You are just as stingy as that woman. However, as you have temporarily taken my surname, I shall treat you as my own and teach you how to be generous!"

"Plop! Plop! Plop!"

Seeing that he paid no attention to him, James found him more and more interesting and wanted to tease him. With a poker face, James pretended to be serious and said solemnly, "If you stare at me again, I'll take away your feeding bottle and then you will starve!"

The baby who was drinking formula milk wasn't afraid of him at all. Instead, he took the bottle away from his pouted mouth and belched at him. Then he continued to suck on the bottle as if nothing happened.

James was speechless.

All of a sudden, he came up with a bizarre idea, "How about I tell Maria that I shall adopt you?" Anyway, he was not afraid of raising a child. In the future, he and Maria would have two more children and by then, Bob can play with their children.

In this way, his grandfather didn't have to send people looking for Bob's parents everywhere. If Maria agreed to his adoption plan, it would be like killing two birds with one stone.

On her way to HL Group, the enraged Maria had come up with multiple ways of teaching James a hard lesson. However, before she could get mad, the scene in front of her instantly cooled her down.

In front of the French window, the man stood there with the baby in his arms and they both stared at her at the same time with innocent eyes. The man frowned slightly and the baby looked tearful but obediently leaned against the man's arm. He had supported him easily and securely with one long arm.

The scene of the father and son being together was so beautiful that Maria couldn't help but sob. She controlled her mood and asked in a trembling voice, "Was he crying all this time?"

"He's just finished crying," replied James flatly. He still had the same aloof expression on his handsome face.

Maria tried to calm down and challenged at him with a cold voice, "He is your son, please don't bother me next time!" She said so but she still quickly went over to pick up the baby in his arms.

"He is not my son." He was afraid that she would misunderstand him, so he denied it again.

When she came to pick up the baby, he immediately let go. With a slight grin on his lips, je let her take care of Bob naturally.

Maria held Bob tightly to her chest and coaxed softly, "Have you sent someone to buy more milk powder?"

"He has already eaten." He was concerned that she wouldn't believe him, so he lifted his chin slightly to the other side of the room.

Following his gaze, Maria saw an empty milk bottle on the table near the cradle.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but she was afraid that he would see through her bluffing. So she raised her voice and asked, "Why do you call me if you have food for him?"

"I have no experience in taking care of children. You have." "But I'm not a nanny." James walked up to her and stared at her pouted angry lips. Then his eyes fell on the sleepy baby in her arms, "Do you like him very much?"

A hint of vigilance flashed through Maria's eyes. She quickly lowered her head and mumbled, "Nonsense. Everyone will like such a cute child. He wants to sleep. Keep your voice down!"

James cast a profound look on her shy face. He wasn't speak in a loud voice in the first place. Besides, why should he lower his voice just because Bob wanted to sleep? James changed his mind again. He didn't want Maria to adopt the baby anymore. He was concerned that the baby would bother Maria all day long in the future and he would see her less often.

Well fed and contented, Bob fell asleep soon. Maria held him tightly and didn't want to put him into the cradle. She sat quietly on the sofa and let the child rest in her arms. She gazed at his rosy cheeks as he was sound asleep, her heart was full of happiness.

"He's asleep," James reminded her.

Maria instantly glared at him, "Shut up!" She could see that Bob was fast asleep.

James' face darkened, he was somewhat jealous of the baby.

A few minutes later, he again opened his mouth, "The baby will go to my place tonight. You too."
