Chapter 179

Penulis: Full of Luck
Beau swallowed his frustration. He was the precious golden grandson of Fisher Corp, someone cherished by Ethel!

He lifted his gaze toward Elara's direction, watching closely. Sure enough, she glanced over at them.

Beau's excitement spiked—so his plan was working! Feeling more determined, he ripped open the jerky package for Niamh.

However, Niamh didn't want to dirty her hands, so she casually said, "Feed me."

Beau's face twitched slightly as his patience was wearing thin. Worse, Elara had already looked away.

Still, he reluctantly pulled a piece of jerky from the package and held it up to Niamh's mouth while his eyes were still fixed on Elara.

"Turn around and look at me!" he shouted in his head.

If he treated Niamh this well, Elara had to feel jealous. It was her choice not to be his mother anymore! Elara would never get to enjoy being personally waited on by him!

Rosalie clicked her tongue in amusement. "Beau, you're actually feeding Niamh? How sweet of you!"

Her tone was ex

    "Not at all," Theodore's smile deepened in his eyes."If Prof. Fisher brings Xavier to join us rather than trying to separate Elara and me, I'll certainly be magnanimous enough to welcome them. That would showcase my exceptional character."Leonard cast a cold glance at the fox-like man, his voice frigid. "You're not husband material, yet you keep acting like you are."Theodore's voice was eerily calm. "Better hurry up, Leo. If you don't make your move soon, you won't even have a chance to be the other man."With his back to Theodore, Leonard's eyes widened momentarily. He gripped the armrests of his wheelchair tightly but ultimately didn't turn back to engage with Theodore.After Leonard and Xavier left, Elara and Theodore continued dining with Merida at Ember House. When they departed from the restaurant, Elara and Merida sat in the back seat while Theodore drove.Elara was reviewing documents on her iPad. The car interior was quiet, with Merida sitting beside her, looking at a

    Leonard pushed his untouched water glass forward.Theodore set down the glass he'd been drinking from and smiled at Leonard. "Thanks, but I don't need it anymore."Leonard responded coldly, "I thought perhaps you had a habit of drinking from other people's glasses."Theodore's smile grew even brighter. "Leo, you misunderstand. I only enjoy drinking from glasses Elara has used."Elara had been secretly amused at Theodore's cat-like tendency to drink from others' glasses, but her face quickly flushed red when she realized what he'd just said.How could Theodore speak so carelessly in front of Leonard?"You..." She began to scold him.But when she met his gaze, she found Theodore looking at her expectantly. Having just coughed violently, his eyes were rimmed with red, the contrast making his dark pupils shine with moisture. His eyes gleamed like stars.Elara couldn't bring herself to reprimand him under that gaze."Please don't talk like that in front of Mr. Fisher..."Before sh

    Leonard lowered his eyes, his voice gentle as he said, "Very well, I'll defer to your judgment."Elara asked him, "Have you had dinner yet, Mr. Fisher?""Not yet.""Then join us for fondue?"As Elara extended this invitation, Leonard glanced at Theodore before slightly turning up the corners of his lips. "I'd be delighted."Theodore's eyebrow quirked up like a cat that had spotted something intriguing, his dark eyes widening as he watched Leonard's every move.When Leonard's entourage heard he planned to dine at the restaurant, one of the plainclothes security officers approached and said, "One moment, please."The guard took a bowl and ladled out samples from both sides of the fondue pot.After personally testing the food and using chemical reagents for a quick analysis, the guard stepped back and respectfully told Leonard, "Thank you for your patience, sir. Please enjoy your meal."Leonard, in his wheelchair, moved to the side of the table on Elara's right.Elara and Theodo

    Xavier hid in Elara's embrace. Though he heard Leonard's voice, he had no intention of acknowledging him. A cold air seemed to emanate from Leonard.Elara gently asked Xavier, "Xavier, are you feeling better now? Your father's here. You can go home with him first."Xavier showed Elara what he had typed on his phone. "I want to stay and have fondue with Merida."Elara smiled tenderly and asked softly, "Are you sure? Perhaps we could move to a private room. We can help you adapt to your surroundings step by step—there's no need to do everything at once."Xavier typed rapidly on his phone, "I want to give myself a chance.""Alright!" Elara agreed. Xavier temporarily left Elara's embrace and returned to his seat.Elara told Merida, "Xavier wants you to have fondue with him."Merida happily returned to Xavier's side.Elara then asked Leonard, "Mr. Fisher, what brings you here?"Angie spoke up first, "Leonard rushed over when he found out you brought Xavier to a place like this."A

    Suddenly, someone hugged Xavier from behind. Elara pulled him into her embrace.She let Xavier lean against her chest, her warm palm covering the back of his head."You don't need to apologize to anyone. This isn't your fault. Being able to eat at Ember House with you makes Merida, Mr. Theodore, and me very happy. This is a special experience for all of us."Xavier's body trembled violently, but his breathing gradually calmed down after being enveloped in Elara's presence. His small hands clutched the fabric at Elara's waist as he buried his face in her embrace, whimpering while desperately trying to suppress any sound.He just felt so pathetic!Elara held Xavier without speaking further, just keeping her palm on the back of his head while trying to give him as much security as possible.Soon, the police arrived. Elara told them, "This woman tried to take this kid, and she also attempted to slap my daughter, but was stopped by her."Harold couldn't help saying, "Elara, aren't yo

    Angie's slap flew toward Merida but stopped abruptly when it was still about an inch from the girl's face.Merida had grabbed Angie's other hand. Angie felt as though the bones in both her hands were about to snap."Ow! It hurts!" Angie cried out, turning to glare at Elara. "Elara, control your child!"Elara said coldly, "Merida, restrain her!""You got it!" Merida replied cheerfully to her mother, positioning herself like a fierce guardian.Theodore asked, "Need any help?""No," Elara declined. "I'll handle calling the police."Elara dialed 911 directly. "Hello, there's someone causing a disturbance at Ember House in Joy City Mall. The woman's assaulting children and trying to kidnap my child."Xavier looked at Elara. Was she referring to him when she said "my child"?His heart trembled, though his expression remained somewhat bewildered.His somatization symptoms were now obvious—he felt his entire body going rigid. The stares from surrounding diners felt like glue, freezin

    Angie's face turned red, then white, at Theodore's comment. She was accustomed to being admired in Melcina and had enjoyed a smooth sailing life since returning home. Theodore's single remark felt like being slapped with that piece of beef, leaving her embarrassed and mortified.Elara looked at her. "Ms. Shelton, I understand you want to improve your relationship with Xavier, but these things can't be rushed.""Do you think I need you to teach me these things?" Angie shot back, her temper flaring as all her accumulated frustration with Elara finally erupted."Do you know Xavier's background? Do you know what he's been through? You understand nothing, so don't pretend you know Xavier!"Angie raised her voice, attracting the attention of nearby diners.Ember House's seating was quite close together, and diners at the surrounding tables were now looking their way."Angie," Harold approached."I got us seats with a colleague up front. Come on, we can go eat now."Angie looked away

    The cheese and chocolate fondue pots were brought to the table by the server. Elara and Theodore sat together, with Merida and Xavier sitting across from them."This is Xavier's first time having fondue, right? I'll teach you how to dip the beef!" Merida said.She picked up the fondue fork. The thoughtful server had provided a booster seat so she could stand on her chair and reach the fondue pots comfortably.Although Xavier had never eaten fondue before, he understood the concept. Despite his lack of experience, he knew how fondue worked. But Merida was eager to teach him, so he watched her movements intently, learning carefully.Elara observed the two children sitting across from them. If she were dining out with Beau, she would have never been able to sit separately from him.Beau needed someone beside him to help with his food, someone to ensure he had a balanced meal during dinner, and to encourage him to eat his vegetables. Otherwise, he'd only eat what he liked and was extr

    Elara remembered that Leonard had told her Xavier and Angie had no connection. Yet Angie was claiming that her relationship with Xavier was special."You're Xavier's..." Elara began.Angie looked up at her with a warning in her expression. "Xavier and I share a blood relation!"Elara paused. "So, you're saying you're Xavier's relative?"Angie stood up and said coldly, "I can't tell you the exact nature of my relationship with Xavier.""Then why mention a blood relation at all?" Elara couldn't help but think sarcastically, and even Merida's expression turned skeptical.Angie reached out to Xavier. "Xavier, would you like me to take you to dinner?"Xavier, hiding behind Elara, shook his head. He was clearly rejecting Angie's invitation.Angie then said to Elara, "Ms. Jones, I'd like to take Xavier out for dinner.""Xavier has already clearly refused your offer."Angie took a breath and said, "You're planning to take your daughter and Xavier to dinner shortly, aren't you?
