Chapter 88 A Harmonious Relationship
He did not need to get used to it in advance because he had been calling Raymond Daddy for years.
However, it was funny to pretend to be someone else's son in front of his father.
Shayla rubbed her belly and asked, "Daddy, can you take us to have a delicious meal?"
A meal?
Raymond looked at the time and said, "But it's not dinner time yet."
Shayla looked at him with puppy eyes and said, "We will have afternoon tea. I want to eat desserts."
This girl was a little foodie. He had not expected her to know about afternoon tea.
"Okay, I will take you to have desserts."
Raymond picked her up, took Damion's hand, and led them into the car.
Although Damion pretended to be calm, he had been feeling guilty. After all, Raymond was his father. But he must bite the bullet and try to hide the truth from him.
Raymond took the kids to a fancy Masstonese restaurant and ordered a lot of desserts.
When Shayla enjoyed the food in satisfaction, Damion obediently sat on the chair because Raymond had been looking at him all the time.
Raymond had not fully recovered from the shock, suspecting the boy was his son Damion.
Feeling his gaze, Damion felt increasingly guilty. Suddenly, he saw a dessert on the menu.
Durian Cake?
He hated durian the most because he could stand the smell. If he ate durian in front of his daddy, maybe the latter would stop suspecting him. He decided to give it a shot to avoid being exposed.
So, he said, "I would like a piece of durian cake!"
Raymond curiously asked, "Do you like durian?"
He knew Damion hated durian the most.
"Yes, durian is my favorite! It smells sweet and tastes good."
Shayla asked in shock, "Really? When did you start to like durian? I did not notice it at all!"
After getting along with Shayla for so long, Damion had never seen her eat durian. So, he guessed she disliked it too. Therefore, he said, "That's because I always care about your feelings. You don't like the smell, so I have never eaten it in front of you."
Shayla immediately said, "Why don't you care about my feelings now? If you eat it here, I will also feel disgusted."
"So, you disagree?"
Damion prayed in his heart that Shayla would insist on preventing him from ordering durian cake.
"If you want to eat it very much, I can plug my nose up."
"Forget it! I won't eat it."
Damion secretly felt happy, thinking Shayla was awesome.
"It's okay, Tyrone. We can go to eat durian alone some other day."
Damion felt helpless, thinking his father was making things difficult for him.
"Okay! Thank you, Daddy."
He had deliberately called him Daddy in a tone different from his usual one.
Seeing the kids happily eating, Raymond felt satisfied as if he were their father.
After a while, Shayla impatiently said, "By the way, when will you marry Beth? Hurry up!"
"Shayla, why are you always urging me to marry her?"
"Because I feel sorry for her. I don't want her to suffer the hardships alone. I want her to marry a man who loves her. If you protect and take care of her, she will no longer be so tired."
Shayla's words instantly touched Raymond. And he thought she was a loving and caring daughter.
