Triplets’ Mighty Mom Novel novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104 Struck by a Bolt of Lightning

South arched an eyebrow as he looked at Silas. “I heard that you were looking for a woman a few years back?” Surprise inundated Silas. “How did you know this?”

“Isn’t this common knowledge with some investigation?” South declared, a touch disdainful. “You investigated it?” Silas asked incredulously. Curling his lips, South stared at him. “Do you know how much effort I expended to get Mommy to return here and apply for a job at Nolan Group? And do you know how many of my plans you’ve wasted?”

Could you imagine what it’d feel like to have a six-year-old kid sitting across you, saying such creepy things to you? Silas felt his body inexplicably going limp, his heart pounding wildly as though he’d just finished a marathon. An answer seemed to be on the verge of bursting forth, but he just felt that something didn’t quite make sense. “What do you mean?” South smiled craftily. “I’ll tell you if you agree to a few of my conditions.”

Silas nodded. “What are your conditions?”

Gazing at him, South stated solemnly, “You can’t tell Mommy about our conversation today, and of course, it’s best if others don’t know about it, too.”

Silas nodded. “Okay!” South then continued, “Also, you’re not allowed to bully my mommy. Otherwise, I’ll retaliate on her behalf.”

Silas kept his gaze pinned on South, his heartbeat speeding up incessantly. He seemed to have understood, yet it also didn’t quite register in his mind. “I promise you that. Keep talking.” Feeling that he’d put his daddy through sufficient torture, South simply cut to the chase. “My mommy… is the woman you were looking for back then.” Boom! The moment Silas heard this, he felt as though he’d been struck by a bolt of lightning. His body swayed slightly as he stared at South across him in shock. He’d harbored such a suspicion, but he was still astonished to the point that no words came when he heard such a declaration. He wanted to ask, Are you my son? How did you find me? But in reality, he couldn’t even utter a single word. Never had he lost his composure so thoroughly and in front of a child at that. South stared at him with a serious expression on his petite face. “Although I’m your child with Mommy, you can’t fight Mommy for my custody rights, and I won’t choose to go with you either. Mommy doesn’t know that you’re my daddy, so you’d better not mention it either. Otherwise, you’ll just have to bear the ramifications yourself! Don’t coerce her. Rather, have her fall in love with you willingly. Also, if you want to pursue my mommy, you must sever all contact with other women. Mommy is rather difficult to win over as she’d been hurt once, so you need to have some patience.”

Silas was a touch moved, and his nose burned, so he covered his face with both hands, but his emotions just remained roiling after a long while. He truly didn’t want to lose his composure before a kid, but this huge surprise had him feeling at a loss. It turns out that Camila is the woman that night, while this smart and mischievous fellow in front of me is my very own son! Never in my wildest dreams had I ever imagined that the woman I like is the woman I’d looked for laboriously. After a long time, he finally stretched out a hand and caressed South’s head. “Don’t worry, I won’t hurt her. You should’ve told me earlier!” South curled his lips. “I’ve got to gain an understanding of you first to ascertain whether you’re worthy of my mommy.” “What about now? You think I’ll do?” Silas asked with a chuckle. “Passable.”

As Silas gazed at South’s standoffish expression, joy imbued him. “You’re exactly like your mommy!” Looking at the corners of his lips that remained lifted, South reminded, “Don’t scare my mommy. You should just continue with your method of letting nature take its course. I’m just playing it safe in telling you the truth. After all, I’ll prioritize my biological daddy, but if you don’t perform well, I don’t mind asking Mommy to find me a stepfather!”

Silas was overjoyed, so much so that he didn’t take offense to the threat in South’s remark. “Okay,” he agreed.
