Chapter 297 David Realized
“Mummy! Can’t you reconsider? This decision is too hasty. I… I can’t bear to be without you.”
Of course, this was also Joyce’s sincere words. He had finally managed to unilaterally recognize Isabelle, and it was extremely precious for him to have seen her only twice.
Isabelle stared at “Max” who suddenly hugged her thigh.
The little guy had a bitter and resentful expression on his face, and once again turned into the cold and aloof Max who was “clingy“.
Isabelle took a deep breath. For his safety, she walked towards the bedroom with determination. “Max, I’ll pack your luggage for you. Actually, you won’t be staying in the country for long. Life abroad suits you better.”
Suitable my ass! Joyce has never been abroad, he is a born and bred gentleman.
Joyce was really worried.
Watching Isabelle take out all the suitcases, he stood still and couldn’t think of a good plan. “Ah, my head hurts!”
He clutched his stomach and collapsed to the ground in an instant.
“Max?” David exclaimed, both surprised and worried..

However, when David saw the little guy lying on the ground and opening one eye to steal a glance at Isabelle, his mouth
twitched, and he understood.
“Max! What’s wrong with you?” Ignorant of the situation, Isabelle ran out.
“My head, it hurts! It feels like I’m dying…” Joyce exclaimed, wearing a pained expression as she acted.
The little hand tightly held onto the stomach.
Isabelle was a bit confused and anxious. “Are you having a headache or a stomachache, son?”
Damn it, lying is really difficult! He covered the wrong place.
Arrogant Joyce awkwardly moved her little hand to her forehead and finally decided, “I have a headache!”
“Are you falling ill?” Isabelle underestimated, her slender fingers quickly reaching for her son’s pulse.
After a few seconds, her expression changed.
Her face was solemn.
David, who was squatting down beside, raised an eyebrow and coughed.
Joyce saw Isabelle holding his wrist for a long time without saying anything, while the “rival” kept coughing. He couldn’t understand the situation and couldn’t help but open one squinted eye.
“Don’t pretend anymore,” Isabelle said, her face darkening with

resignation.
What? Did Isabelle find it?
Joyce immediately closed her eyes tightly and remained motionless.
“Max…” Isabelle rolled her eyes and gently straightened her son, sighing helplessly. “You pretended to be sick to avoid going abroad with me?”
“Your plans were never this basic before.”
Joyce’s face froze for a moment as she was unexpectedly exposed and mocked.
Was he not as good as Max?
With a slight pout at the corners of his mouth, he decided to hold on until the end.
“You’re being unfair!” Isabelle exclaimed, frustrated. Max, on the other hand, was not so immature.
David stared at “Max” with a deep gaze, then burst into a muffled laugh. “This doesn’t really seem like Max’s style. Usually, he’s mischievous and would have been quick to argue by now. But, boys have their pride, Bella.”
He gave her a signal, indicating not to hurt the child’s self- esteem.
Isabelle sighed helplessly and said, “Do you really not want to leave me that much?”
“Uh.” The little one on the ground finally let out a low, cold

sound.
David pondered back and said, “Since the child refuses to go, you won’t be at ease even if you send them.”
“Moreover, have you ever thought about it, Astait only has Enya and an elderly Vernon? If Warren tracks down their location and quietly takes Max away, it will be even harder for you to find him.”
Isabelle clenched her fingers tightly. She had been very nervous and impulsive just now.
David’s possibility, he said, is not nonexistent!
Warren was ruthless and capable of doing anything.
She lowered her head and pondered over her son in her arms, feeling torn between two choices, unsure of what to do.
Joyce also tugged at Isabelle’s sleeve and frightenedly said, “What if Daddy hides me somewhere overseas? Mommy, you will never see me again.”
“He dared!”
Isabelle gritted her teeth in anger. Her little face, however, was tense.
David sighed and comforted her, “Bella, why don’t I assign more people to protect Max? You hide the child by your side and see – if there is any movement on his side.”
“If he wants to fight for custody, don’t forget, it was you who raised the child for the past three years, while he…”

Isabelle looked over and pleaded with him not to say to the child
in person that his father had abandoned him in the past.
No matter how bad Warren was, she still hoped that Max’s father in her heart was “perfect“.
David nodded lightly, stood up, and packed up her suitcase for her. He volunteered and said, “You and the children must be tired! Don’t worry, I’ll take care of everything.”
“I went to make lunch for you all!”
Isabelle went through a lot of distress and was feeling quite tired. “Thank you for your help, David! I am truly grateful.”
The man affectionately stroked the woman’s hair. “Max, spend some time with your mommy!”
Joyce looked at the man thoughtfully.
After Isabelle felt better, the little thing sneaked into the kitchen.
David turned his head and saw her coming in, smiling gently. “What’s wrong? Are you hungry?”
Joyce held her short arms and coolly observed the man, then sharply said, “Mr. Lopez…”
“Don’t think that I didn’t know. You seemed to be speaking up for me just now, but in reality, you were only trying to keep Mommy staying in the country for a long time.”
“If I had gone to Astait, she would have had to travel between two places frequently. Do you want to pursue her?”
David looked up in surprise, his eyelids twitching slightly.

He believed that Max had this insight, but Max had a high emotional intelligence and would not say it out loud.
Max was very polite to him.
The “Max” in front of him, however, was cold and straightforward.
David admitted generously, “Yes, I want to pursue your mother. I have liked her for a very long time. Max, you should also know my intentions.”
“I didn’t know…”
Joyce hummed and decided to warn Warren about this man. “My dad and mom are just temporarily separated. They will take care of me and eventually form a family.”
“Breaking up someone else’s family is not a good behavior, you know.”
“Mr. Lopez, stop showing off! My dad can cook too!”
“You couldn’t impress my mom, otherwise, after such a long time, why hasn’t she agreed to you yet?”
Joyce had a cold and sharp tone.
That kind of hostility made David furrow his brow. His solemn face wasn’t very pleasant to look at.
Joyce held her little hand and thought, “Hmph, the cat’s out of the bag!”
David quietly observed “Max” for a while, wondering what he was thinking. Suddenly, he walked over and stared at the little

guy.
He was smiling, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes.
David raised an eyebrow and asked strangely, “Max, are you really Max?”
Joyce hesitated for a moment, then stiffened fiercely.
He was like a startled little tiger.
The man’s steady gaze concealed sharpness, surrounding him. who was weak.
Joyce, being young, felt a moment of unease and clenched his small fist firmly, asserting, “Of course I am Max. You’re just talking nonsense.”
After he bluffed, he ran out with a cold face.
David’s eyes flickered faintly, and he slowly stood up straight.
Max was not such an arrogant and cold–hearted person.
In theory, Max only met Warren today, so how could he know “my dad can also cook“?
This little guy called “daddy” so familiarly.
Isabelle, as a mother, may have been oblivious, but as an outsider, he always felt that something was wrong!
These seemed like two children!
