Bradley found Felix’s cheeky comment amusing.
“So, who have you chosen to replace me as your dad?” he coldly asked.
“I think Uncle Jasper would be a good choice!”
Bradley ignored his unhealed injuries, got up, and pulled Felix toward him. He then lightly spanked hisbuttocks, demanding, “Say that again!”
As stubborn as ever, Felix glared back and retorted, “If you even think about marrying Aunt Mandy, Iwant Uncle Jasper to be my Daddy.”
Bradley firmly grasped Felix’s face, forcing the boy to meet his gaze. “Listen here, you little rascal. Yourold man isn’t gone yet, you know?”
Felix bargained, “I don’t care. Unless you don’t marry her!”
“Stay out of grown-up matters!”
Felix huffed and almost mumbled, “Fine, marry Aunt Mandy if you want. But then Uncle Jasper will bemy new Daddy.”novelbin
Bradley clenched his teeth and warned sternly, “How dare you say that?”
“I dare! I absolutely dare!” Felix’s face twisted into a pitiful expression as if he could burst into tears anymoment. “Once you marry her, you’ll have your own kids. And if my stepmother bullies me, you’llprobably say it’s my fault!”
Chuckling with a hint of frustration, Bradley asked,, “What kind of nonsense have you been reading?”
“My friend told me his Daddy did the same thing! And the storybooks say that when you get astepmom, you’ll get a stepdad too!”
Feeling like he was winning the argument, Felix beamed with confidence.
Bradley, however, felt his temples pulsate. “Do those books also mention that a stepdad might treatyou-”
Felix interrupted, “No, they say it’s better to have a poor but honest Mommy than a wealthy, deceitfulDaddy.”

“Daddy, please don’t marry Aunt Mandy.” Sensing his father’s mood, Felix changed tactics.
“That will depend on your behavior,” Bradley said.
Eager to please, Felix pulled an orange from his bag, peeled it carefully, and began feeding Bradley.“Daddy, try this orange. It’s really sweet!”

“Uncle Jasper!” Felix answered and smiled charmingly. “Daddy, if you’re not careful, Mommy
will get swept away by some other guy!”
Bradley grimaced and hissed through clenched teeth. “She wouldn’t dare!”
