Hunt A CEO Husband For My Mommy novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28 Amber's Trick

Austin realized after judging Freya's expression that she would change her mind.

"How big is your house, Daddy? Is it pretty? Do you have any toys there?" Daniel asked, anticipating with great eagerness.

"Have you ever seen castles?"

"Yeah! Castles are huge!"

"I actually live in a castle."

"Wow! You are even richer than I thought." Daniel's eyes widened with delight as he exclaimed. He then turned to Freya and said, "You see, Mommy, I was right. He is super rich!"

Freya was speechless as she thought Austin's wealth had nothing to do with her.

"Daddy! Let me tell you about how an evil witch is bullying my mom. You must back Mommy up and make sure she gets a fair shake! I don't want anyone to treat her that horribly ever again."

Austin immediately stared at Freya. His gaze was intense and seemed to hold many meanings.

Freya's cheeks flushed in embarrassment. She glared sternly at Daniel and said, "You couldn't be more wrong! No one is bullying me."

Daniel blinked his big eyes and obviously looked disappointed.

Austin suddenly said with a smile, "All right, I'll agree with your mom on this one. Tell me who bullied her, please."

Freya was taken aback. She thought to herself, "Is he serious? Or is he just saying that to make Daniel happy? "

"Mommy, you can tell daddy who that evil woman is!"

"I'm capable of dealing with that by myself without anyone to help me," Freya replied unhappily. All she wanted was to avoid any further contact with him, so she didn't want him to get involved in this.

Austin had already threatened her with legal action. If Daniel hadn't been so enthusiastic about Austin's idea, she wouldn't have agreed to go to his house for dinner.

Freya tried to think of some good reason to reject Austin, but she was afraid he would abduct her son when she was not present. She decided to say yes, as she began to wonder if Austin would use some clever tricks to gain Daniel's favor and win him over.

"OK, I'm on my way," Freya said, biting her lip.

"You should come over here right away. I just learned that your boss has connections with the Dawson Group, so firing you is a piece of cake for me." Amber hung up the phone after a sneer.

Freya was so angry she even had trouble breathing. She could put up with the horrible things Amber had done to her four years ago, but she wasn't sure she could tolerate this woman any longer.

She desperately needed her job, as she would have no chance of winning the lawsuit against Austin if she was fired. She was well aware that the courts would not allow an unemployed person to raise a child, so her job was extremely important to her at the time.

Freya turned around and opened the door to Austin's fancy office, where she saw him talking to Daniel. She walked toward them. After one look at Austin, she asked her son, "Honey, how about I drive you home now? Aunt Shannon will keep you company."

"But I thought we were having dinner at Daddy's house tonight," Daniel said, looking expectant.

"Yes, we are. I'll take you there after I get off work."

Austin raised an eyebrow and smiled. "That won't be necessary. I can be with him because I don't trust anyone else to be with my son," he said.
