Chapter 271 - The Accident On The Metro (1/2)

The little boy trembled as he picked up his chopsticks. The stranger opposite him was authoritative and intimidating. He had never met anyone this scary in his life.

In his early years, Daniel lived with his mother and she had tried her best to teach him manners and etiquette, but ever since she left him with her parents and they migrated to Singapore together, the grandparents spoiled their grandson and he had developed quite an attitude.

The little boy picked at the dishes on the table, brushing aside the vegetables and only grabbing the meat. Danson watched this and furrowed his brows. Stretching his chopsticks across the table, he grabbed a bunch of water spinach and placed it in the boy's bowl. He then grabbed a few pieces of carrot and broccoli and added it on top. ”Eat it!” he demanded.

The boy screwed up his nose with disgust but did as told. He did not dare to argue with this scary man.

Meanwhile, Marissa and her parents watched in shock. Firstly, they were shocked that he claimed to be the child's father. Secondly, they were shocked that the child listened to him.

Marissa had never told her parents who the father of her son was, so the two elders were extremely confused. Father? If anything, Danson was technically Daniel's stepbrother, right?

Marissa's mother looked at her and gently kicked her foot, ”What's going on?”

Marissa took a deep breath awkwardly. She didn't know what was going on either. Why did Danson suddenly show up? And why did it seem like he knew something?

At that moment, Danson wrapped an arm around Marissa's shoulder and said, ”Marissa and I dated back in high school and...she gave birth to my son. I'm here to take responsibility for both of them.”

He then pointed at the little boy that was sitting across from him.

Marissa glanced at Danson in surprise. How did he find out?

Marissa's father immediately slammed his hands on the table and stood up, ”That's ridiculous! What nonsense are you spouting? Lucy, take the Young Master to his room. We have something to discuss!”

Lucy was Daniel's nanny as well as the family's domestic helper. Seeing the drama that was unfolding, she immediately grabbed Daniel's hand and led him into his bedroom.

”You're her stepson! What are you talking about? What will people say?” Marissa's father growled after the child was gone.

”I don't care what people say. I am telling the truth. I met her first. It wasn't like we cheated. Besides, my father's already dead,” Danson replied.

”What kind of messed up relationship have you created, Marissa?” Marissa's mother exclaimed in disgust. ”Did you knowingly sleep with your son's grandfather and marry him as well? What kind of sick joke is this?”

She then stood up and threw a slap across her daughter's face, ”I can't believe you did something so immoral and disgusting! I know you always hated growing up poor and I know we weren't always the best parents, but this is too much!”

Marissa held onto her cheek and glanced helplessly at Danson. Did he also think she was disgusting?
