Taming A Billionaire

Chapter 404 - Three Hundred And Four: Who Was That Woman?

The third point of view:

"Are you sure Mom\'s eyes are okay?" Allen asked as he stared at the boy seated on the couch.

They all were peering from the entrance at the little stranger staring into space.

"Why would you say so?" Ailee whispered.

"This boy isn\'t close to the word called handsome,"

"What are you trying to say?" Neon was confused

"Only handsome faces can be added to this family and my appearance is used for the judging criteria," Allen gestured to his face, smugly.

"Ugh," Isabella and Ailee snorted. Narcissistic much?

But then Neon had his own point of view, "Aww, Allen," He fawned, "Are you trying to say I\'m handsome too since I was added to this family?" he asked with high hope which was quickly dashed into pieces.

"You? You\'re just a buy one, get one bonus," He added crudely.

"Allen!" Ailee cautioned him. But she must have been so loud because the boy turned in their direction and they all hid instinctively.

"Why are we even hiding?" Isabella rephrased her question, "No, why am I hiding with you guys? This is so lame,"

"Yeah, it\'s pathetic, almighty big sister," Allen said sarcastically.

Isabella glared at him yet composed herself when it abruptly dawned on her that the boy wasn\'t her brother. She had heard Reina went to visit Angela and if she could remember right, she had a sister called Kim. She quickly put two and two together, this must be her son.

Although it didn\'t make sense that Reina would send her much-hated sister Kim, her kid here, yet it made much more sense than the thought of her adopting one. With Niklaus\' stamina, they should be procreating more children, not fostering one.

However, Isabella wasn\'t going to tell that to her siblings. Yes, you guessed right, she would watch them make a fool of themselves, which is why she said,

"Anyway, I\'m going back to my room. Tell me later what you found out," she announced, taking her leave. Now she would be able to chat with Pedro in peace without their annoying disturbances.

"We should go introduce ourselves," Neon suggested.

"No, we -"

But Neon had already come out of his hiding place and they had no alternative but to follow suit.

"Hi!" All three of them waved to the boy who stared at them like they were from the planet of apes. However, before they could try a friendlier approach, Allen had begun to bombard the child with questions.

"Hey, little ugly one, what\'s your name? How did you know my mother? Why did she send you here? Who are your parents? Are you the latest addition to our family?"

However, before they knew what was going on, Tommy\'s lips began to tremble, he bawled uncontrollably.

"Wonderful Allen, you\'ve done it again," His sister blamed him.

"What did I do wrong? All I did was ask him questions, how is it my fault that he\'s a crybaby?" he shrugged.

At the mention of "Crybaby," Tommy increased the volume to his wail.

"Allen, you have to do something before Amanda gets here and reports to mommy that we made her new son cry!"

"What do you expect me to do?!"

"Undo what you did!"

"Fine!" he yelled at his sister and faced the boy, putting on what he believed was his best kind smile, "Hey kiddo, stop crying already, alright?"

But that move seemed to mess the whole thing up, Tommy sobbed harder, driving Allen crazy.

"This is it, I\'m done with him!" He gave up, plonking down on the nearest couch in surrender.

Ailee and Neon stared at the boy, crying, "Mommy," and their heart broke.

"Oww, he\'s missing our mother already," Ailee had her hand on her face, moved by the scene.

"We have to make him happy," Neon said

"Yeah, I know, but how?" Ailee sighed. As usual, Allen caused trouble and left it for them to clean up his mess.

Suddenly, a flashbulb lit in Neon\'s head and he turned to Ailee, "I\'ve got an idea,"

"What is it,"

He beckoned her to come closer and began to whisper the plan into her ears, causing her eyes to widen at the brilliance of it.

"What are we waiting for? Let\'s do this!"

Allen watched with raised brows as Neon left with her sister. What were those two up to? And why was their closeness irking him again? Whatever, he was not jealous!

Not long after, Neon ran back into the living room, fell on the ground, and began to cry alongside Tommy.

"What the hell is he doing?" Allen was taken aback by his action, "Does he want to get Amanda down here, putting us in trouble?"

As if Allen jinxed his luck, Amanda arrived at the scene with a perplexed expression, "What the hell is happening…. Oh" she trailed off as soon as Neon gave her a secret signal by winking his eyes. And just like Allen, she sat back to watch the drama going on.

Tommy was confused, why was this kid crying with him? In no time, his sobs gurgled to a halt as he watched what was going on.

Neon perfectly emulated Tommy\'s wailing a while ago, even thrashing about like a kid denied candy by mommy.

However, what stunned everyone next was Ailee making her epic entrance, dressed in one of their mother\'s floor-sweeping gowns and adult makeup. Amanda choked on her saliva and Allen\'s jaw dropped to the ground, what the hell?

"Oh my baby, don\'t cry anymore," Ailee went over to Neon, knelt beside him, and began to comfort him the way she\'s seen their mother comfort them, "Even when I\'m far away, my spirit will always be with you. Also, big boys don\'t cry,"

They hugged each other.

The end.

After a moment of the heart-stirring scene, Allen clapped?

"A-hem," He cleared his throat, realizing he must have seemed stupid.

"Bravo!" Amanda broke the tension by applauding them and that made Tommy do the same.

"Hey, I\'m Neon, what\'s your name?" The action gave him the incentive to introduce himself.

"I\'m T-tommy," the boy answered shyly, unable to lock gaze with him.

"Do you want to play with us, Tommy?" Ailee offered.

"I don\'t think that\'s a good idea, the boy can\'t handle our kind of play," Allen pointed out with a frown.

One hour later…..

Exuberant screams and shouting could be heard from the kid\'s room as they played chase. Right now, their room was every mother\'s nightmare; no mother would want to clean that up.

Their room was in disorder; clothes were strewn at every corner that one couldn\'t differentiate between dirty laundry and the clean ones; the kids had a heap of clothes in the first place; stuffed toys and the robotic ones that they had offered Tommy to play with slithered diverse corners; bed sheets were halfway across the ground; the marvel posters on the wall had texts and emoticons captioned on it; Neon had a mustache drawn on his face with a marker and Ailee\'s brows were thickened with it while Allen had two devil horns on both sides of his head.

The kids thumped each other with pillows, the heft of the pillow knocked Neon off balance and he fell on the bed yet he climbed back up. The pillows broke, shedding down clusters throughout the room yet the kids didn\'t mind.

"This is so much fun, woohoo!!"

However, the door suddenly snapped open, and there stood their mother at the doorway in all her frightening glory.

Everyone froze. Uh-oh. Their gazes scanned the room. Oh boy, they were dead meat. They had planned to play for a short time and clean up before she returns, who knew they would get carried away with the fun?

Allen gulped nervously, Ailee\'s heart began to pound and Neon hiccupped while Tommy watched innocently as Reina made their way over to them with an expressionless face.

"M-mother, we can explain ….." Allen was still saying when Reina pulled him into a sudden hug, saying, "I love you,"

What was even more strange was that she did the same thing to Ailee and Neon before taking Tommy\'s hand and led him out of the room without yelling at them? Without punishing them?

"What just happened? Who was that woman just now?" Allen asked, yet none of them had the answer.

"I don\'t know,"
