Noah Bates realized something was off with Wayne Don these past few days.
He felt the child was becoming increasingly rebellious, and for some reason, the emotion in Wayne's eyes actually made Noah lack the courage to look at him directly.
Andie Andrews had been insisting on staying at the Bates Family home with various requests lately, clashing with Wayne often; every incident ended with Andie crying and running to Noah for justice, yet the little boy seemed to not want to explain himself at all.
He watched with an indifferent gaze as Andie threw herself into Noah's arms, as if it didn't matter how many women his father found outside because he simply didn't care.
On occasion when Noah went to work, Andie would glare at Wayne fiercely, "Don't get too smug!"
Wayne would smile at her with biting sarcasm, "I don't covet your things in the least."
