Chapter 16 {Mommy?}

Lennox stormed out of the room, his expression dark and determined. Sam knew better than to follow him, so he just stayed put.

Meanwhile, Lennox made his way to the lobby, his eyes scanning the area for any sign of Anderson.

Anderson was standing in front of Angelina who was on call her eyes landed on Anderson but she didn't recognize this small wasn't her daughter.

"Yue baby what's the matter you already grabbed your food," Angelina asked gently. Anderson opened and closed his mouth.

"Mommy?" Anderson asked a voice above a whisper. Angelina found that her daughter was acting stranger is she angry because she made her end her gaming time early?

"Yue, Yue can you get mama some food?" Angelina asked. Anderson had so many questions why did you abandon him? Why did she leave him? Why did she not look for him. Of course Angelina was unaware of this small boy complex questions in his mind.

Angelina watched as Yue, or who she thought was Yue, seemed reluctant to move. Instead, the small boy just stood there, looking up at her with a strange expression on his face.

"Yue, what's wrong?" Angelina asked, concerned. "Why aren't you getting me some food?"

Anderson, still struggling to find his voice, tried to speak again.

"Mommy, it's me," he said, his voice shaking slightly.

"Of course my angelic devilish princess Yue, now go and grab some food remember to grab some for your brother, and you can eat anything," Angelia said. Anderson nodded his head.

"Baby why are you wearing a mini suit? Forget my little princess is still beautiful," Angelia said sweetly and kissed Anderson on the forehead believing its Yue. But Anderson didn't say anything he had countless of question why did she abandoned him, why did she not look for him? But he played along as Yue.

Angelina watched as Yue, or who she still thought was Yue, continued to nod obediently. She couldn't help but notice that Yue was acting strangely quiet, but she chalked it up to her being tired from playing video games.

"Good girl," Angelina said, ruffling the small boy's hair affectionately.

"Go and get us some food, okay?"

Anderson nodded again, his mind still swirling with questions and confusion. He knew he had to play along if he wanted to get answers from Angelina.

Yue on the other was wearing her brother clothes she wore small dark blue skinny jeans a black shirt that has a skull design and a hat as she looked at the dessert her little head bounce back and fourth of chocolate cake or strawberry ice cream cake. She touched her chin and snapped her fingers she will have both.

"Anderson! That is junk food you will not eat that!" A deep smooth voice said in a commanding manner. Yue looked at the handsome man her five year old eyes narrowed and she shrugged. Lennox grabbed Yue hand.

"Boy you know you aren't allowed to eat this food," Lennox said coldly.

"You idiotic man!" Yue shouted. Ben, Joe, and Axel both saw the little master they dropped their mouth did Anderson call his father idiotic?

"What did you say?"

"I said idiotic!" Yue said and stuck out her tongue.

"How dare you talk to your dad like that."

Yue froze in place. Daddy? Yue looked up her grayish silvery greenish eyes sparked she wanted to cry so this man is her daddy?

Yue looked at Lennox she had countless of questions when her and her brother were in school they would always see other kids with there father and they couldn't help but feel jealous they also wanted to be thrown in the air. Zeyden was good at hiding his emotions always told Yue that they don't need a father but a little girl always wants a daddy. So there he is her daddy. Tesrs streamed down her soft pinkish cheeks.

"Are you my daddy?" Yue asked. Lennox frowned he opened his mouth to tell his son Anderson man don't cry but sucked those words in his five years old anyway.

Lennox was taken aback by Yue's sudden question. He had never been asked that before, and he wasn't quite sure how to respond.

"Um…" he began, his voice gruff and uncertain. "Why do you ask?"

Yue looked up at him with those big innocent eyes, her face filled with hope and expectation.

"I…" Yue began, her voice shaky.

"I always wanted a daddy. Can you be my daddy?"

"Damnit Anderson, you already know I am your dad," Lennox said and Yue sighed so this man believe she is Anderson forget let's play along with him.

"Daddy!" Yue said in a sweet gentle voice as she held out her arms to be picked up. Lennox chuckled he had never seen his son act like this he is always quiet and obedient never goes out alone.

Lennox couldn't help but smile at Yue's sweet and gentle voice. He had never seen his son so vulnerable and needy before.

"Alright, come here, little one," he said, his voice gruff but gentle as he picked her up in his arms.

Yue snuggled into his arms, feeling a sense of security and comfort in her father's embrace.

Lennox held Yue close, feeling a strange sense of protectiveness towards her. He couldn't remember the last time he had held his son like this.

"You're so small and light," he said, a hint of surprise in his voice.

Yue looked up at him, her eyes wide and innocent. She could feel the warmth and strength of her father's arms around her, and it made her feel safe and loved.

"Let's eat with mommy!" Yue said. Lennox frowned his eyes flashed and glared at Sam who raised his hand innocently he didn't bring up the topic mother to him!

"No you don't have a mommy," Lennox said coldly.

"I do her!" Yue said her finger pointed at a Angelina who was sitting on the back of the booth a small child but because it was dim light couldn't see what the child looked like.

Lennox turned to look at the booth where Angelina was sitting. He felt a pang of irritation at the mention of her being Yue's mother.

"No, she's not your mother," he said firmly.

Yue, sensing her father's tension, looked up at him with a confused expression.

"But…" she began, her voice soft and uncertain.

"She is my mommy!" Yue shouted how dare this man noy recognize her mother!

"She is not! Anderson remember she might be beautiful but she is nothing but a wicked gold digger," Lennox said. Yue became so angry he did not just call her mama wicked, and a gold digger in the same sentence!

Yue felt a surge of anger at Lennox's harsh words. How dare he speak about her mother like that! She tried to wiggle out of his arms, struggling to break free.

"She is not wicked!" Yue protested.

"And she is not a gold digger!"

Lennox tightened his grip on Yue, holding her still. He couldn't believe his son was defending that woman.

"Anderson!"

Yue burst into tears.

"Wicked evil man I disown you as my daddy!" Yue shouted. Ben, Axel, Sam, and Joe choked the little master is more emotional, he normally isn't like that it's so strange.

"What did you say!?" Lennox shouted.

"disown you!" Yue shouted.

Lennox couldn't believe what he was hearing. His son was defying him, and calling him an "evil man." He felt a surge of anger and disbelief.

"How dare you speak to me like that!" he thundered.

Yue continued to sob, tears streaming down her face. She was filled with anger and confusion at her father's words.

"You are an evil man!" she repeated, her voice shaking.

Lennox's grip on Yue tightened even more. He was struggling to control his temper, and his voice was cold and stern.

"You will not talk to me like that. I am your father, and you will obey me!"
