Chapter 33 Can’t afford trousers
“Adam, why are you here?” With just a glance and a sound, Isabel can tell that the person was Adam.
His voice and mannerisms were different from Aiden.
Adam smirked and his trademark smile attracted the attention of the opposite sex.
It must be said that he exudes the stature of a movie star.
Every action was like an A-list star, unlike Aiden.
“Didn’t you sign the agreement? Unless you want to renege?”
“Agree… agreement?” Isabel didn’t react fast enough.
“Humph, it’s all Aiden’s fault to only let Daniel act during the weekends. He still had to attend
kindergarten on Mondays to Fridays. But the scenes need a child actor and we are delayed and are up
to our neck. In the past, the supporting actors have to work around the lead actor and actress’s
schedule because they are the money earners. But now I Adam need to work around Daniel’s time.”
Adam said with his teeth clenched.
Isabel apologized, “The child is still young, I’m sorry.”
When she answered, what flashed through her brain was if Adam knew that Daniel was his son, would
he pressurize him the same way?
That was a moment that she really wanted to tell Adam that the child was his but she decided not to at
the last moment.
“Daddy, Mommy.” Daniel rushed over excitedly when he saw Adam and Isabel.
The child was like Isabel, though Adam and Aiden looked identical, with one look he could tell Adam
apart from Aiden.
Adam was full of warmth whereas Aiden was icy cold that even strangers will stay away from him.
But, Aiden wasn’t the same as a week ago.
Once his status as the director of Howard Group was revealed, that also removed Aiden’s veil of
secrecy.
Because of Isabel, Aiden went from an unknown personality in T City until he was now a household
name.
This “Daddy”, melted Adam’s angry heart and pushed Isabel away and carried Daniel up high, “I
haven’t seen you for a week, have you grown?”
“Yes, I weighed myself before coming out. I’ve put on half a KG.”
Isabel didn’t believe, “Did you drink a few glasses of water before weighing yourself?”
Then it seemed like he had put on weight but it was just the water in his body.
This child said this just to please her.
Daniel shook his head, “No, I didn’t drink any water, absolutely not.” He would not admit it even he
drank. He likes this kindergarten.
Sage United School was an open teaching concept and all according to his abilities. He can learn as he
wishes. In fact, he could skip to the most senior class and attend the lessons which he enjoyed.
That’s why he must not let Isabel worry and change the kindergarten.
Daniel was very satisfied with Aiden’s choice of kindergarten.
Isabel was speechless and left the school with Adam. Since Adam was here, she quickly applied for an
entry card so that she can send Daniel to school.
The school only allowed the parents of kindergarten students to enter the premises. The parents of
primary school to high school students must remain outside the school premises.
That’s why there was a long queue of luxury cars outside the school.
Isabel missed Daniel very much and this was the first time her child was filming a show. She pondered
for a while and decided to go along.
She didn’t expect her phone to ring as soon as she led Daniel into Adam’s black colored Bentley.
“Isabel, are you in Adam’s car?” It was Celia’s voice.
“Yes,” Isabel said softly, not wanting to disturb Adam and didn’t want Adam to hear their conversation.
That’s why the answer was the simplest.
“God, Isabel, what’s up with you, the last few days you were in Aiden’s car and now you’re in Adam’s
car. You’re on fire!” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“Was it flying fish net?” Isabel looked out of the car and felt that someone took a photo of her entering
Adam’s car but she wasn’t sure.
“It’s great that you know. Not only are people outside spreading the rumors, even our high school
friends are…”
When she heard Celia holding back her words, Isabel knew what she meant, that even her ex-school
mates thought that she was going out with both of them at the same time.
But the truth was that she hasn’t gone out with any of them.
She was above board with both Aiden and Adam.
Since she hasn’t done anything, why does she have to be bothered by the rumors, “Okay, I got it, I still
have some matters to attend to. I’ll see you the night after.”
“Mommy, is that Aunt Celia?” Daniel’s ear was sharp and heard Celia’s voice.
These few years when they were in France, each time when Isabel was struggling, she would call
Celia. Although he has never seen Celia in person, he had seen her over the video calls numerous
times.
“Yes, Mommy has arranged to have dinner with Aunt Celia the day after tomorrow. You must attend
okay?” Previously during the video calls, Celia would long for the change to pinch Daniel’s tiny cheeks.
She finally will have the chance the day after tomorrow.
“No.” Daniel didn’t feel like it but before he could object, Adam objected.
“Adam, don’t tell me you won’t even give Daniel an evening off” Isabel frowned, this was unacceptable.
She objected as well.
“It’s not that I don’t want to give him. The entire crew from the script writer to the lead actors are all
waiting for this little man. They had waited for two whole days and nights. You must know that even if
they don’t shoot a scene and rest at the hotel, I still have to pay for them. Particularly the two lead
actors, each day was in excess of a million! Ms. White, please understand my difficulties. Have you
ever heard of me, Adam, personally picking up an actor to the film set? If I don’t send Daniel to the set,
this TV series will cost me so much that I can’t afford to wear this pair of trousers.”
“Daddy, don’t be scared, If you can’t afford trousers, then sell away this car. Then you’ll have a year’s
worth of trousers.” Daniel laughed.
“You rascal, how can you say that? You’re lucky I’m your daddy. If I sell this car, the next time I’ll have
to ride a bike to pick you up. If you are okay with it, then I’m fine with it.” Adam glared at Daniel after
saying, “How can you bully your father?”
“Daddy, it’s not good for me to work into the night. I’m still growing.” Daniel yelled “DADDY” loudly until
Adam was unsettled. If he was to force this kid to shoot the film every night, then what’s the difference
between him and a capitalist?
