In the Fudd family home.
Since Heaton had to look for Little Jelly Bean, he felt incredibly frantic.
Heaton immediately stopped the meeting and when he rushed home, he noticed on the spot a woman and his child in the courtyard.
Yanny was playing with Little Jelly Bean on the stone bench.
Heaton was dressed in a black suit as he stood on his lawn nearby. He called out coldly, "Get over here, Jelly Bean!"
The instant Little Jelly Bean noticed Heaton, she ran over with her short legs as she called out, "Papa!"
Heaton bent over and carried the wobbly little rascal up before sitting her on his arm as a gentle and fatherly gaze flashed across his cold glare. However, when he shifted his gaze to Yanny who was sitting by a stone table nearby, his gaze looked sharp and very defensive.
Heaton disciplined Little Jelly Bean. "So, you became the house empress when I wasn’t home, huh? Who allowed you to wander out on your own?"
Little Jelly Bean immediately straightened her little back and spoke confidently while pouting her lips, "Grandpa allowed me to! Uncle Lewis and Horton were accompanying me too! I wasn't alone!"
"Who's that woman?" Heaton asked as he glanced over at Yanny. He found her familiar but was unable to recall where he had actually met her before.
Little Jelly Bean pointed at Yanny who was nearby with her white and chubby little fingers and said, "Daddy, that's Aunty Yanny!"
"Yanny?"
If Heaton remembered correctly, Yanny happened to be Shayne's girlfriend, right?
Although Heaton never really asked Shayne about his personal love life, Shayne had been with Yanny for quite a number of years. Even if he did not know her that well, he was aware of who Yanny was.
However, Yanny was already walking over toward Heaton as she boldly introduced herself, "Greetings, President Fudd. I’m Yanny. I'm not sure if you still remember me or not."
A playful glint flashed across Heaton's eyes as he said, "Oh, it's you. Of course, I remember you. It's really difficult to forget about you when you look like this."
Yanny was speechless.
Heaton looked like a really serious person and if people were not close to him, they would not be able to tell how flippant he was. However, Shayne was different. Shayne was a complicated man and although he was playful, he was cold and distant as well. He was intimidating and very difficult to get close to. Even though he was able to warm up to people, his intimidating aura would still remain.
The cold demeanor Heaton displayed would cause no stranger to approach him.
However, it was surprising to Yanny that such a cold person would tease her.
Despite that, Yanny had seen all kinds of people and encountered all kinds of scenarios in the last two years. She was actually quite relaxed when facing Heaton. Yanny cracked a calm smile and said, "I actually thought President Fudd would not bother to interact with people like me."
As Little Jelly Bean hugged Heaton's neck, she pleaded childishly, "Daddy, can we have Aunty Yanny stay for a meal?"
Heaton rarely allowed unknown women to stay for a meal. However, that day would be an exception as he said, "It seems to me that my Little Jelly Bean really likes you, Miss Joy. I'm not sure if you'll be free to stay and share a meal with us?"
Yanny was a little stunned and found his intentions interesting.
It was not like Heaton was unaware of her relationship with Shayne. However, he was still so blatantly inviting her for a meal.
She did not expect someone as serious as Heaton would enjoy drama since he did not even want to let go of his best friend's woman. He was truly insane. Since that was the case, Yanny decided to do things according to his wishes.
Yanny also wanted to ask him about Shayne as well.
Yanny cracked a bright smile as she said, "Alright, since President Fudd wants to invite me then don't mind if I do."
Little Jelly Bean was the happiest as she clapped her chubby little white hands while moving around in Heaton’s arms, elated. She cheered, "Yay! I want to tell grandpa that I have a mother now!"
After the little rascal got down from Heaton's arms, she ran into the mansion with her little legs.
Heaton was a little troubled as he rubbed his temple and spoke in a funny tone, "I hope you won't mind, Miss Yanny. Little Jelly Bean is too blunt as a child."
Yanny was not a stickler as she replied with a smile, "Oh, Little Jelly Bean is so adorable and smart. I absolutely adore her so why would I mind?"
"Well, since Little Jelly Bean likes you so much, what do you say to being her godmother, Miss Joy?"
He previously heard Heaton mention it once. However, in the two years of Yanny's absence, everyone was busy with their own lives and they rarely met up anymore. Shayne had never even met Heaton's daughter before and initially thought that Heaton was only lying in order to stop his family from matchmaking him with anyone. He also thought that Heaton might actually have had a sudden strike of conscience to adopt a child from some orphanage. However, no one expected him to actually have a daughter.
"Where did Heaton get the child from? Which woman is that bold to secretly give birth to the child anyway?'
Shayne had plenty of unanswered questions since Heaton already had a daughter before even having an actual girlfriend or wife. Heaton was truly an astounding man.
Jake said, "Well… I'm not too sure about that. President Fudd has kept a very tight lip about him having a child. No one seems to know where the child came from even after I investigated it. All I know is that Old Master Fudd has been rushing him to get married to the extreme and it was unsure where President Fudd found the baby. He even called the child his daughter. He’s been taking care of the child for two whole years. The whole situation was insane but the child's mother is still a complete mystery."
"Since the child belongs to Heaton, how did the child even cling onto Yanny? Yanny isn't even the child's mother."
Jake bit his lips and cautiously said, "Well...this was the bad news that I wanted to tell you. The Fudd family child happens to be Miss Joy's fan and threw a fit. She wanted Miss Joy to be her mother. Miss Joy is currently waiting in the Fudd family mansion and I heard that the child wanted her father to marry Miss Joy."
Shayne scoffed satisfyingly and seemed completely unfazed as he said, "Hmph, even if Heaton were to agree, Yanny wouldn’t like him. What a good joke this is."
Jake was speechless as he thought to himself, 'We shouldn't act this confidently, President Jinn.'
Jake wiped his sweat and said, "Well… Miss Joy...seems to have already agreed to be the child's mother."
Shayne immediately stood up from his black leather chair and yelled, "Heaton, that shameless *sshole. He's going to snatch his best friend's woman too?"
Jake was speechless.
Shayne's handsome face instantly dimmed while he emanated a cold and menacing aura, storming out of his office.
Jake asked from behind him, "Are we heading over to the Fudd family home?"
Shayne gritted his teeth as he furiously exclaimed, "If this turns out to be true, I'll be the one to build that *sshole Heaton's grave!"
Jake was speechless.
Jake thought to himself, 'What happened to doing good deeds? That’s nothing more than baseless nonsense. It seems that he's destined to never be a good person in this entire lifetime.'
