Hunt A CEO Husband For My Mommy

Chapter 79 At Peace

Chapter 79 At Peace

"Come on, give Auntie a big hug." Natalie spread her arms and looked at him with a smile. She had sensed the sudden hostility from the little boy earlier.

Perhaps he mistook her for just another woman of Austin's.

The little boy immediately warmed up to her and put his arms around Natalie's neck. He looked at her, realizing he was out of line just now, and called her sweetly, "Auntie..."

"Brother, he looks exactly like you when you were little!" Natalie exclaimed excitedly, for she had never seen a son that looked like his father that much.

"He's my own flesh and blood, of course, he looks like me. Who else could he resemble?" Austin replied and was glad to hear her say this.

Natalie couldn't help but kiss the little boy's cheek, which made him giggle.

Natalie settled into the backseat while holding the little boy in her arms. Austin looked back and said to him, "Later, we'll go have dinner with Grandpa and Grandma."

"Will Mommy be there too?"

"Yes."

"Yeah! That's awesome!" The little boy got excited.

Natalie carefully observed his little face with her dazzling eyes. The more she looked at him, the more she adored him. The little boy stared back at her, praising her, "Auntie, you're so beautiful!"

"You're quite the handsome little man yourself!" Natalie returned the compliment.

"My mommy is beautiful as well!" The little one took the chance to praise his mother.

"I know. She must be incredibly beautiful to have such a cute little boy like you."

Austin was driving, but he couldn't help smiling. No matter how weary the day had been, a few words from his son had the power to refresh him.

Freya left the company around 5 o'clock. Downstairs, Austin's bodyguard had been waiting for her. Freya felt slightly embarrassed as she stepped into the car.

The car drove into the avenue and directly to the hotel.

At the hotel entrance, Austin's car stopped slowly. Natalie carried the little one in her arms as they got off the car. They became much closer on their way here.

Austin picked up the kid and walked into the elevator. The restaurant was on the sixth floor of the hotel, where Martin and Julia were anxiously waiting for them in the box, hoping to see their grandchild soon.

As the doors of the box were opened, Martin and Julia looked straight at the entrance. Seeing the child in Austin's arms, Julia's eyes welled up with tears. Overwhelmed with great joy, they felt both excited and surprised.

In the blink of an eye, their three-year-old grandson was now standing before them. How could they, as grandparents, not become emotional?

Austin put the little boy down, gave him a gentle nudge, and said, "Daniel, go meet Grandpa and Grandma."

"Grandpa, Grandma!" Daniel greeted them sweetly.

Since children were pure and innocent, they were good judges of characters. They could easily tell who loved them and who didn't with a single glance.

Daniel knew that Grandpa and Grandma loved him deeply.

Before she realized it, Julia was so excited that she even cried. When she was about to bend down and take a good look at him, Daniel walked up to her and asked in surprise, "Grandma, why are you crying?"

"These are tears of joy, my dear!" Julia wiped her eyes, and Natalie swiftly handed her a tissue and comforted her, "There's nothing to cry about, Mom. Look how adorable Daniel is!"

"Grandma, please don't cry," Daniel said, feeling a bit worried.

Martin almost cried. He looked at the little boy with a gentle smile. As a man, he seldom showed his emotions. Therefore, though he also loved Daniel deeply, his happiness was only expressed through a tender smile.

Once Daniel was here, he captured the attention and hearts of everyone around. Wherever he went, all eyes were on him.

Freya hurried to the lobby downstairs. She couldn't help but feel nervous for no reason as she thought about meeting Austin's parents later.

After she stepped into the elevator, she adjusted her clothes, hoping to leave a good impression on them.

However, Freya gave a bitter smile. What was she doing? It wasn't like she was going to meet her future parents-in-law. She was simply having dinner with them.

As she got to the box, the waiter thoughtfully knocked on the door and ushered her in.

Freya walked in, feeling a little on edge. Before she saw who was there clearly, a figure dashed toward her and shouted, "Mommy!"

Freya immediately bent down, looked at the adorable and clingy little child, and patted his head.

Martin and Julia take a few glances at her, and Natalie silently marveled at how beautiful Daniel's mother was! She was graceful as well.

Freya looked up and saw the elderly couple and a young girl who appeared a year or two younger than her. Then, she glanced inquisitively at Austin.

Austin smiled and introduced them to her in a charming voice, "This is my father, my mother, and my sister."

"Nice to meet you, sister-in-law," Natalie greeted her sweetly.

Freya's expression froze instantly. She wanted to smile but hesitated. She wanted to respond but found herself at a loss for words. With a forced smile, she finally managed to say, "I'm just Daniel's mother, not your sister-in-law!"

Austin's face looked grim for a few seconds. Did this woman have to embarrass him at this very moment? Would it kill her to just say yes?

"Natalie, don't make things difficult for Ms. Brooks! Ms. Brooks, please have a seat," Julia said courteously.

Natalie smiled and playfully stuck out her tongue in response.

"Mrs. Campbell, you can just call me Freya," Freya couldn't bear being addressed by her like that. She was Daniel's grandmother, and she was also an elder to her.

"Alright! Freya, what a lovely name," Julia called her again.

"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Campbell." Freya greeted Martin sitting across from her.

"Likewise." Martin responded with a kind and gentle smile.

Freya was secretly surprised. She had expected Austin's parents to be stern and formidable, but they turned out to be easygoing and approachable. Now, she felt she should start to trust Austin more.

"Freya, you have gone through so much trouble raising Daniel all by yourself, and we had no idea," Julia sighed with guilt.

"It's no trouble at all. Taking care of my own child can never be considered a burden." Freya replied with a smile.

"It was all Austin's fault for not taking responsibility for you and your child four years ago." Julia didn't know what happened four years ago, and Austin avoided talking about this. After all, it involved the power struggle in the Campbell family, and he didn't want to make his parents worried about it.

Austin's handsome face tensed up, and he stared nervously at Freya, hoping she wouldn't bring up what happened four years ago.

Of course, Freya wasn't so foolish to dredge up their one-night stand.

"Mrs. Campbell, it's alright. That's all in the past. Daniel and I are doing well now." Freya replied and gave a light-hearted smile.
