Oops My Toyboy Is A Hidden Tycoon

The next day, Cynthia went to the Yates residence. Lilian and Filly’s baby had been in an incubator for two weeks, and they had just brought him home yesterday.

Pamela had been feeling very conflicted lately. Nothing about 1dian ever felt right to her, but she never thought she would die. Now, with Lilian gone, the baby was left without a mother from birth. It pained her just thinking about it.

Filip was hurt this time. He had locked himself in his room for some time, even refusing to come out for meals,

Pamela noticed Cynthia had a lot to say. “How did I end up with son like Filip? It’s been so long, and he’s still a mess. He just locks himself in his room, drinking until he’s completely drunk, living as if he’s given up on everything,”

Cynthia had mixed feelings about this. “Maybe he just hasn’t recovered yet. Let’s give him some more time,” she gently suggested, trying to offer some comfort.

Filip had mentioned before that Lilian deceived him. She drugged, threatened, and used him. He even wanted to strangle

her.

But after Lilian passed away, his reaction was totally unexpected; he seemed absolutely heartbroken. What Filip truly felt for Lilian, perhaps only he knew,

Pamela sighed, “I know he’s upset, but he’s a man, and men should be strong and support the family, especially now that he’s a father.

Do you know what’s really upset me? He hasn’t even looked at the child since he was born, not even once.”

Cynthia found this quite surprising. Back in the hospital. Filip hadn’t visited the baby, and now that the child was home, he still wouldn’t see him. Cynthia wondered if he was afraid that seeing the baby would remind him of Lilian. But soon after. she dismissed this thought.,

Cynthia went into the nursery. The Yates family had hired two nannies to take care of the baby. When Cynthia entered, the, nanny had just finished feeding him, and the baby was already asleep.

Cynthia and Pamela stood by the crib, watching the baby. He’d gained a bit of weight since they saw him at the hospital and his complexion was much better. Still, he looked so small and delicate.

Pamela couldn’t stop sighing. “This baby is such a sweetheart. He eats and sleeps, then sleeps and eats, never making a fuss. He’s truly an angel.”

Looking at the baby’s side face, Pamela couldn’t help but smile. She hadn’t liked Lilian and had thought that even if the child was born, it wouldn’t concern her. She definitely wouldn’t help with the care.

But now, at a mere glance at this vivacious baby and his tiny arms, legs, and chubby cheeks, she felt as if her heart had melted completely. Pamela was utterly captivated

At the hospital, she had visited the baby every day. Now that the baby was home, she couldn’t bear to put him down even for

a moment.

Even though they hired two nannies, Pamela, as the grandmother, insisted on doing a lot herself.

Cynthia reached out and gently touched the baby’s chubby cheeks. Although the baby was generally on his thinner side, there were still two cute little pudgy patches that made her look extra adorable.

“Have you picked a name for the baby yet?”

Pamela shook her head and said, “Such an important task should be left to Filip. As the father, he can’t just ignore it. You should go give him a piece of your mind later. Perhaps your opinion would be effective while ours is not.

Cynthia said nothing. She merely gazed at the serene little face in the crib. The baby no longer possessed the wrinkled look. of a newborn. Though still petite and slender, he was now far more appealing. His skin was so fair that it seemed as if it had been soaked in milk.

“He doesn’t exactly resemble Lilian. However, his features looked similar to Filip’s, Cynthia said as she closely inspected the child’s features. Though still very young, his prominent nose displayed some traces of Filip’s influence.

Pamela was quite pleased to hear that. “Oh yes, he looks very much like Filip when he was little. This child is adorable, with a nose and mouth like Filip’s, but those eyes are quite…”

Pamela nearly let her thoughts escape. She was on the verge of saying that the child looked a bit like Cynthia, and she didn’t know why.

Cynthia had grown up right under her gaze. When Cynthia was still a child, Pamela adored her deeply because she had always longed for a daughter.

Pamela clearly remembered how Cynthia had looked as a newborn. When the child’s eyes opened, there was similarity to Cynthia at the time she herself was a newborn,

indeed H

Pamela felt it was fate. But she was afraid to say it out loud for fear that Cynthia might overthink it. After all, Cynthia was now married and had clearly defined her boundaries with Filip. So, such words shouldn’t be spoken lightly.

Pamela gave a soft smile. “The eyes do resemble Lilian’s–big, bright, and looked especially innocent.”

Cynthia didn’t know why, but looking at the child, her heart softened, though she felt an inexplicable sadness.

Cynthia spent some time in the nursery before stepping out. She was about to say goodbye and leave. She passed by Filip’s room. Cynthia paused without even realizing it.

Finally, she knocked on the door a few times. There was no response from inside. Cynthia pushed the door open.

Filip was lying on the floor, surrounded by scattered liquor bottles. The room smelled of alcohol and tobacco.

Cynthia stepped over the bottles and walked in. She saw Filip lying there, motionless. She nudged his arm with her heel. “Haven’t you had enough?”

Filip’s eyes were open, but his expression was completely dull.

“Filip, Lilian is gone. You can’t bring her back. Get yourself together and look forward.

“Don’t forget, you two had a child. The child doesn’t have a mom anymore, are you just going to neglect him too?

“Filip,

you’re not a kid anymore. You can’t just shut down and hide whenever you face a setback.”

No matter what Cynthia said, Filip stayed motionless. Cynthia finally lost her patience. She grabbed his collar and dragged him into the bathroom.

She then turned on the shower, letting cold water pour over Filip’s face. “Filip, are you even a man? You’ve been like this since childhood, collapsing at the slightest challenge.

“What’s the point of acting like this? Do you even know that Luke, the one who fired the gun, is also dead? Do you know there is a mastermind who wants to kill me, and Lilian shielded me from the bullet?

“While you’re lost in self–pity, have you considered that the real killer of Lilian is still at large? You don’t care about anything. You don’t even want justice for Lilian, you’re so consumed by your feelings that you don’t even think about the kid. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Filip, you’re just a selfish and ineffectual man.”

Cold water poured down over Filip’s head. He shivered from the chill. But gradually, a glimmer of light returned to his eyes.

After a long pause, he finally asked, “Who wants to kill you?”

Cynthia hadn’t expected Filip to show concern for her first. S valve.

She calmly said, “Shirley.”

A hint of surprise flashed in Filip’s eyes.

Cynthia continued, “I won’t let her get away with this. Just wai

“So, pull yourself together and stop acting like you’re half–dea ruining your life, that you wished you could kill her? Well, noi moping?”

After a long pause, he finally asked, “Who wants to kill you?”

Cynthia hadn’t expected Filip to show concern for her first. Seeing that he had sobered up a bit, Cynthia turned off the water

valve.

She calmly said, “Shirley.”

A hint of surprise flashed in Filip’s eyes.

Cynthia continued, “I won’t let her get away with this. Just wait and see what happens to her: Lilian didn’t die in vain.

“So, pull yourself together and stop acting like you’re half–dead. Besides, didn’t you say you hated Lilian for lying to you and ruining your life, that you wished you could kill her? Well, now she’s gone, just like you wanted. So why are you still moping?”
