I Fell For The Boy His Daddy Was A Bonus

Chapter 18: Naughty Scarlett 

“Here, Liam. Have some more of this beef stew. It‘s really good,” Scarlett encouraged while putting a bowl in front of Liam. 

The boy smiled and while his father stepped out of the restaurant to take a phone call, he took the opportunity to ask Scarlett what has been going through his mind, “My Beauty, daddy said, I can’t marry you? Is that true?”

Scarlett blinked, slowly finding the right words to say. She sought, “Well, Liam, what do you think is the answer to that?”

Liam sighed and said with a serious expression, “Well, I know I‘m too young to get married.”

A giggle left Scarlett‘s lips. She caressed the boy’s head and said, “You know this already, right? I‘m sure you are a smart boy. Besides, why did you want to marry me in the first place? How did that come into your mind?”

“Because I really like you. You are so pretty and nice. I liked you from the day we met,” he answered.

Liam fell silent for a moment before suddenly adding, “Dad loves me but daddy is busy too. My friends talk about their mommies and I want that too. I – I really want someone to be there for me… To put me to sleep… to bring me to school, and someone to play with when daddy is away.”

“I love you like I love my dad,” he supplemented. He smiled genuinely at Scarlett before hugging her by the waist.

Liam’s mind wandered back to his chat with Kaleb. Thus, he added, “Also, I want someone to make me and my daddy smile every day. I want someone to love me and this somebody must love my daddy, too.” 

Thinking about how his father wanted to make a family with Scarlett, Liam sighed and raised, “I want my daddy to be happy, too.” He gazed up at Scarlett and asked, “My Beauty, will you give me a brother and a sister too?” 

Scarlett was earlier caressing his back, but when she heard him ask for a brother and sister, she froze, utterly bemused. She said, “Wait. Wait. Are we still talking about you wanting to marry me?” 

She chuckled lightly and added, “Because it sounded more to me like... you want me to marry your daddy?”

“And that’s how I can have a brother and sister?” Liam clarified, pulling away, his green orbs looking at her with hope. 

Unsure how to explain to the boy, she said, “Well, technically, yeah –” 

“And I can call you my mommy?” He asked, his voice filled with enthusiasm. 

Her mouth fell open, and she felt her heart race. She swallowed her own spew and resumed her explanation, “Let‘s say that happens, then, yes, but –“ 

The boy’s eyes sparkled. He replied, “Great! I like your proposal, my Beauty!” With gleaming eyes, he excitedly said, “I‘ll go tell daddy!” 

Scarlett, “???” 

Liam readily got up, his eyes scanning the door to the restaurant. He said, “Daddy! Daddy!” 

“Liam, that’s not what I meant.” Scarlett tried to keep him from calling out to Kaleb, and as she did, her eyes did not miss how the man was walking back into the restaurant.
