Chapter 1453
Sophia caught wind of the whispering from a group of young girls a little distance away and shot them a stern look.
There was a clear warning in her icy
gaze.
Startled by Sophia’s glare, the girls immediately turned their attention elsewhere, daring not to gossip any longer.
Ellinor carried Adrian back, scolding him all the way. Her anger wasn’t abated even after they arrived back at their
picnic spot.
This child was becoming increasingly disobedient. He was always acting on his own. How could he just wander off
alone?
Throughout the entire ordeal, Adrian stayed silent, neither admitting his mistake nor apologizing.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnce back at their picnic spot, Ellinor set Adrian down, her face stern as she asked him, “Still refusing to speak? Do
you know that running off on your own is wrong? Do you understand your
mistake?”
Adrian looked at her with a somewhat wronged expression in his eyes.
Veronica, seeing that Adrian had been found, breathed a sigh of relief. She approached and tried to mediate the
situation. “Ellinor, it’s okay. Adrian was just too excited about that Mechanical Hero kite. We can buy him one later,
then he won’t run off again.”
Ellinor was not pleased with this reasoning. “Just because he sees something he likes, he can run off without telling
his mother? Seems like he’s asking for a spanking!”
Quickly, Veronica stepped in to protect her nephew. “Adrian, what are you waiting for? Apologize to your mom.
Quickly!”
Adrian pouted, and with a whimper, he began to cry.
Veronica, her heart aching, tried to comfort him. “Alright, alright! You were scared, but it’s okay now. Your mom and
aunt are here. You don’t have to be
afraid.”
What Ellinor hated most was when the child refused to admit his mistakes and resorted to crying. She sternly pulled
Veronica aside, brought Adrian in front of her, and scolded him. “Why are you crying? You made a mistake, and
you’re crying about it? Mom asked you to admit your mistake, so why aren’t you speaking? I’m counting to three,
and if you still don’t apologize, I’m going to spank you!”
Adrian refused to speak and cried even louder.
Ellinor was exasperated, raising her hand in frustration.
Baber rushed over to protect his younger brother. “Mom, don’t hit Adrian. He knows he was wrong, and I’ll make

watched the crying Adrian, as if she noticed something amiss.
After Baber defended Adrian, Ellinor was taken aback and then sighed. “Look at how understanding your brother is.
When will you learn from him and stop worrying me?”
Adrian looked at her with a pitiful expression and whimpered. “…I want daddy…”
At his words, Ellinor’s face fell, and her eyes trembled.
What did Adrian say? He wanted to find his dad?!
This child, who had never seen his father since birth and had no memories of him, suddenly wanted to find his dad?
This seemed to be the first time Adrian had spoken about finding his dad.
Hearing this, Veronica and Moran were also taken aback.
Gathering herself, Ellinor crouched down and hugged her son, asking him softly, “Why do you suddenly want to find
your dad? Where do you want to go to find him?”
Adrian pointed in a certain direction. “Daddy is over there! I want to go find Daddy”
Ellinor, taken aback, quickly turned to look in the direction Adrian was pointing.
Veronica and Moran also looked in that direction with surprise.
