Their Bundle Of Joy

Chapter 9 The Return Of Mother and Son

Five years later, at the airport.

Two figures of different heights appeared at the entrance of the airport.

A white casual suit was a neutral style, but for Isabel, it looked elegant on her, and made her look cute

and sweet.

An adorable boy who was walking in front of her was also wearing the same style of clothes.

This was a matching outfit for a parent and a child.

Or was it a matching outfit for siblings?

Daniel pulled along a suitcase along the corridor, and he looked rather gentlemanly and as eye-

catching as Isabel.

"Wow, that kid is too cute, I suddenly have the urge to bear a second child.”

"Go ahead, what if your second child looks like your first child, you'll regret it.”

"I really want to ask their parents how could they give birth to such good-looking child.”

"Of course it is because their genetics are good. Their parents must be good-looking as well.”

"You are right, his sister looks good too, then it must mean the whole family looks good as well, I'm so

envious.”

Daniel who was pulling along a suitcase suddenly stopped in his tracks, and he turned around and

faced the women who were gossiping, "She's not my sister.”

Although Isabel looked very young since she was being mistaken for being his sister, and it was a good

thing too, but if that's the case they were still a generation apart.

"Then she is…” The two women were curious about her identity. She didn’t look like his mother,

because she was way too young.

That was impossible.

"That's a secret.” Daniel raised his head, and continued pulling his luggage while chasing after Isabel.

They were out of the airport lobby in no time.

When Isabel was stuffing her luggage into the boot of a car, Daniel also carried his luggage and stood

on tiptoe in order to put it into the boot. Then, he said, "Mum, it's done, let's go.”

Isabel caressed her son's head affectionately and then he held his small hands and entered the taxi.

"I'm going to T University.” She told the driver her destination.

When the taxi was starting its engine, a black Maybach stopped stealthily behind them.

Aiden exited that car, and his gaze grazed the taxi which was parked in front of him. He thought he was

seeing things, somehow the girl in the car resembled the girl who was sent to the police station by him

five years ago.

Didn’t he hear that she had left T City long ago?

Did her return have something to do with his brother, Adam?

"Aiden, the plane is arriving soon.” Ewan strutted towards him and reminded him out of the blue.

Aiden then only continued walking into the airport.

Isabel's taxi stopped in front of T University.

"Daniel, go sit on that grass for a while, I need to call someone to get us in, we may have to wait.” T

University was huge, it would take some time for a car to circle the whole campus ground, let alone

looking for someone on foot by oneself.

Isabel who had problems with directions didn’t know how to reach her destination, so she could only

call for help.

While she was standing in front of T University, a myriad of emotions were slowly rising up from within.

Five years ago, she had wanted to be part of T University, but in the end she had lost that opportunity.

But when she turned around and looked at Daniel, she didn’t feel any tinge of regret.

Although she couldn’t enter T University back then, now she could return and make up for her regrets.

She's back to T University.

But now, she was no longer a freshman, she would enter as a master student.

After waiting for a few minutes, a white bus slowly approached them, and the driver saw the two

contrasting figures as well as those gazes directed at them. He hurriedly stopped the bus next to Isabel

and asked her, "Are you Isabel White?”

"You are Owen?”

Owen took her luggage and placed it on the bus while saying, "Hey, this is…” Looking at Daniel who

was running towards them clumsily, Owen was stunned.

"She's my mum…” Daniel suddenly stopped mid-sentence, because he saw Isabel's warning gaze.

They had made a deal to address each other as sister and little brother. He's a guy, he must fulfill his

promise, "She's my mum's daughter, so she's my sister, I'm Daniel.”

Daniel continued smoothly.

After finishing his sentence, Daniel tilted his head and smiled at Isabel.

This little guy wanted to be praised.

Wasn’t he smart?

He didn’t say anything out of place.

Isabel naturally gave his son a praising smile, "Good boy, let's go inside.”

"Isabel, is your brother staying here with you?” Owen remembered what his mentor had instructed him

to do. He had to take care of Isabel's livelihood here, but he didn’t expect her to bring along a little boy

when she came to this university.

This was definitely unheard of.

Although a research student could get married and bear a child, usually they did all that during their

semester break and they would let their parents take care of the child while the semester resumed.

Never did they bring along their child to the university.

Of course, Isabel could be an exception, after all this person was her little brother.

"I'm a good kid, I won't create trouble for sister, so you can be rest assured.” Daniel was scanning his

surroundings and decided that he liked the environment of this university.

Since this was a place Isabel had wanted to come all this time, as her only relative, he supported her.

"Daniel, you're a good boy.” Owen nodded his head in agreement. He was already starting to like this

kid.

The small white bus stopped in front of a singles apartment.

This was a lodging that Isabel's mentor had applied for her before she had even returned to the

country.

The whole place was crisp and tidy to her liking.

When the mother and son duo had settled down, it was already getting late.

Daniel who was still jet-lagged was full of energy now.

"Mum, I want to hang out.” Although he had spent all of his childhood in Europe, in the end he's still an

Asian. He was entranced by this new world full of Asians.

He felt like after taking a nap on the plane and opened his eyes again, he had entered a new unfamiliar

world.

This was fun!

"That can't do, watch your animation first, mummy has some work to do now. I'll bring you out

tomorrow, alright?” Isabel shook her head as she was going to be busy.

It would be bad if she was not going to be busy, that would mean their livelihood would suffer.

"Mum, I'll go out to play on my own. I saw that this university has great environment, and the security is

good too, so you don't have to worry, I won't get kidnapped by bad guys. Besides, I have this

navigation watch.” Daniel explained while waving the watch on his wrist.

Isabel shook her head with a smile as she once again couldn't win their argument.

"You must be a good boy, come back after half an hour alright? I'll bring you along to look for a

kindergarten tomorrow.”

"Are we going to kindergarten tomorrow?” The kid twitched his mouth and looked a little unhappy.

"You don't want to go to the kindergarten?” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

"I want to be familiar with this place first, can we go to the kindergarten the day after tomorrow?” He

was actually planning to meet his so-called dad and reprimand him.

His dad who had abandoned his mum was a bad dad.

Despite that, he also wanted to get a glimpse of him.

"Alright, I'll listen to you, but tomorrow we have to register for a kindergarten, so that the day after

tomorrow you can just go there and start your class. How about that?” Isabel asked for the kid's

opinion.

Daniel mulled this over and thought that since he could still be free tomorrow, that would be enough for

him to complete what he wanted to do.

"Alright, it's decided then.”

After saying this, the kid dashed out of the room and went to have fun around the campus.

Isabel flipped open the book in her hands as she was about to start her work.

She had accepted some translation jobs which she could do it in her flexible time. All she was asked

was to translate the words to a certain standard and she would get paid.

This was a skill she had employed to keep herself and Daniel alive all these years.

When she was in France, she had mastered English, French and Spanish and she was involved in

translation from time to time. All of her work could contribute to her household spending.
