Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 457

457 /658

After Beverly left, Fanny quickly sidled up to Damon with a playful grin, nudging him like an old buddy. "Hey, was that your cousin?"

Damon shot her a cool, sidelong glance.

Fanny instantly got the message.

She hastily took a step back but pressed on, undeterred. "Well? Is she or not?"

Damon: "Yeah."

Fanny's brows knitted together. This was trouble. Beverly actually had such a powerful backer? If she ever decided to cause trouble for Ariana again, having someone like Damon in her corner would make retaliation nearly impossible. Didn’t Ariana say Damon and Lambert were cut from the same cloth?

Anyone who could be compared to Lambert was definitely not someone to mess with.

Meanwhile, Damon narrowed his eyes, watching as Fanny kept sneaking glances at him, clearly lost in thought. Without warning, he flicked her forehead. "Kid."

Rubbing her head, Fanny blinked in confusion. "Huh?"

Damon abandoned subtlety. He tugged Kevin slightly closer against his chest and nodded toward the boy. "Him."

Fanny: "..."

Damon's expression remained deadpan. "Take him downstairs."

Seeing that Damon was genuinely running out of patience, Fanny decided to scoop up Kevin. After all, dealing with this human ice sculpture who could freeze a room with a glance was nerve-wracking enough as it was. But to her surprise, Kevin seemed to have taken a liking to Damon. The moment she tried to take him, he clung stubbornly to Damon, refusing to let go.

His little mouth even puckered up, as if he were on the verge of tears at the thought of being separated.

Fanny was stunned.

She never expected this poker-faced man would actually win over her godson!

Damon was equally surprised. He froze for a moment, then furrowed his brows in silence for a few seconds. This time, he didn’t let Fanny take the child away.

The little one settled down almost instantly.

Even flashing Damon a big, toothy grin.

Fanny narrowed her eyes at Kevin before concluding, "This little rascal must think you're good-looking."

Damon: "?"

Fanny gloated, "This kid only stays with whoever he finds attractive. Whenever Ariana and Lambert are together, Kevin absolutely refuses to be held by Lambert. But if Lambert is standing next to someone less handsome, he’ll choose Lambert instead..." But as soon as the words left her mouth, she suddenly realized something was off.

In an instant—

Fanny’s eyes widened in outrage!

She glared at Kevin indignantly and snapped, "You little brat! Are you saying your godmother isn’t as good-looking as him?"

Kevin shrank back, startled by her outburst, then planted a wet kiss on Damon’s cheek.

Then, with a delighted giggle, he beamed up at her.

Almost as if answering her question.

Fanny: "..."

For the first time in what felt like forever, Damon couldn’t help but laugh. A rare, faint amusement flickered in his eyes as he gently cradled the little bundle in his arms.

For the first time, he thought children might not be so bad after all.

Over there, Fanny was still fuming with anger.

At the peak of her rage, she couldn’t even bear to glance at the brat. Instead, she scooped up Carson, the younger of the twins, and said with a sorrowful expression, "Oh, my sweet little boy is the only one who understands me. Carson, let’s not pay any attention to your brother from now on, okay?"
