Purchased A Mr. Right -
Chapter 1940
After he heard that there was only an agreement-based marriage between Tina and Amin Stark, namely, the marriage was only of a nominal nature, Bellamy's emotional shock was barely appeased. At least, his son had not lost his moral integrity and seduced another man's wife.
Otherwise, Bellamy would have broken Wilson's leg as a punishment.
Moreover, if the marriage was not of a nominal nature, Bellamy's old-fashioned personality would cause him to be unable to accept the fact that Tina shacked up with Wilson immediately after she got divorced.
At this time, Bellamy was still frowning and waiting for the answer of the second issue from Wilson.
Wilson replied slowly, "Tina and I have a daughter, whose name is Isla. She is more than five years old this year."
"What!" Bellamy's eyes widened.
He was caught off guard by this extraodinary fact.
Wilson explained, "I didn't know about it until last year. Tina had been taking care of Isla alone before then."
After Bellamy heard this, the veins on his neck bulged out because of anger. He almost wanted to flip over the desk. "You knew it last year, and you didn't inform your parents until now?"
Wilson coughed guiltily.
When he first learned about the truth that Isla was his daughter, he wanted to make it up for Isla as her father. He needed more time and space to attain this goal, and that's why he was not in a hurry to inform his parents that he had a daughter now. Later, after he was forced to break up with Tina, she got married to Amin and, as a result, Wilson gave up the idea of informing his parents.
Isla could virtually serve as his trump card, and this trump card needed to be used at the most critical moment.
For example, now...
Wilson said calmly, "I just wanted to give you a surprise!"
Bellamy was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head.
Not only was his head buzzing, but his ears were also buzzing.
Wilson stood up straight and said with a serious look, "Dad, I brought Tina back home today, not only because I want her to call upon you, but also because we want to get your permission and obtain the household register. We're going to register for marriage in the Civil Affairs Beaurea. Our child is five years old now. You can't let me be an irresponsible 'father' of her!" Bellamy was speechless. "..."
He sat down with his hands rested on his temples.
He needed to calm himself down.
After Tina and Meadow tried the cheongsam, they went to the kitchen to have a taste of the freshly-made cakes.
Finally, the sound of footsteps could be heard from upstairs.
Tina and Meadow immediately looked up and saw that the father and son were coming downstairs one after another, just like before.
Bellamy was walking ahead and with his hands clasped behind his back.
It could be seen that there was still a little hint of anger on his face, but he seemed to have controlled his temper properly.
Tina was a little worried.
She kept her ears up and listened carefully to the sound of movements from upstairs. If she had remembered it correctly, she actually heard two loud sounds of "Bang" from there.
Tina looked at Wilson, who was behind his father, and gestured to him to inquire what had happened. Wilson's expression was relaxed and casual, and he nodded to show that everything was settled. Only then did Tina let out a sigh of relief.
Looking at Bellamy, who was already walking near her, Tina was a little nervous. "Uncle..."
Bellamy asked, "What time will Isla leave the kindergarten?"
Tina was amazed and replied honestly, "Ah? At five o'clock."
Bellamy nodded after reflecting upon it for a while. "Uh-huh... We'll go together later."
At half past four, two cars drove out of the Chin's Mansion in a hurry.
Meadow also had learned that they actually had a five-year-old granddaughter called Isla. Compared to Bellamy's properly-controlled reaction, Meadow was very happy and deeply moved. On the way to the kindergarten, her eyes were filled with tears.
Meadow and Bellamy had always envied others who had grandchildren.
Now that she suddenly learned that they had a five-year-old granddaughter, Meadow was so excited that she even thought that it was just a dream.
When the four of them arrived at the entrance of the kindergarten, Meadow still felt that everything was surreal.
Meadow's feeling of everything being surreal ended when a lovely little girl in a denim skirt and red leather shoes ran out of the kindergarten with a schoolbag on her back. She called out at Wilson and Tina in a childish voice,
"Mom, Dad..."
Meadow was so happy to see her lovely granddaughter that she almost fainted.
It was obvious that Isla was a biological offspring of the Chin family. Although Isla's facial features looked more like Tina's, her outline was more like Wilson's.
Isla almost threw herself into the arms of Tina and Wilson, and then she kissed her parents' faces. Then, she noticed that Bellamy and Meadow had come here together with Tina and Wilson.
Bellamy was trying to keep a straight face to cover his emotional changes, while Meadow's eyes were filled with tears because of excitement.
Isla put her little hands around Tina's neck and whispered, "Mom, who are they?"
Tina told her in a tender voice, "Isla, they are your Grandpa and Grandma!"
Hearing Tina's words, Bellamy and Meadow became even more excited.
Isla buried her little head into her mother's arms.
She was actually not afraid of strangers, yet she seemed to be a little shy to meet Bellamy and Meadow for the first time. She curiously looked at Bellamy and Meadow through the gap of Tina's arms, and her appearance was very cute.
After picking up Isla, the whole family returned to the Chin's Mansion again.
At this time, Isla was no longer completely unfamiliar with Bellamy and Meadow. She called them "Grandpa" and "Grandma" in a childish voice.
Since there were no other children at home, Meadow almost brought Isla all the snacks she could replace out. She also ordered the chef to bake some cakes and cookies for Isla. The table in the living room was dotted with snacks, cakes, coolies, fruits, etc.
Isla asked happily, "Can I eat them all?"
Bellamy nodded heavily. "Of course!"
Meadow echoed, "My dear Isla, you can eat as much as you want. Take these candies..."
Isla picked up a piece of soft candy with her chubby little hands, peeled off the candy paper, and put it into her mouth.
Then, she revealed two rows of baby teeth and said clearly and seriously, "Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma. I'll only eat one candy. It's not that good for my teeth!"
She acted as if she was very disciplined.
Bellamy and Meadow's hearts were deeply touched by this lovely little girl.
They were so fond of Isla, their dear granddaughter.
There was plenty of happy laughter and cheerful voices in the Chin family tonight, something which was indeed a rare instance for many years.
Even Bellamy, who had always been an old-fashioned and serious person, smiled or laughed heartily when facing Isla.
After dinner, Bellamy asked Tina to stay alone with him at the study.
Bellamy took the initiative to ask Tina about something.
The main reason for this was that Bellamy did not believe Wilson's words, so he needed confirmation from Tina.
Tina didn't dare to hide anything. She told Bellamy the whole story, from the crisis faced by the Amery's Group, to the details of how she took the initiative to ask Amin Stark for help and suggested the agreement-based marriage. She also emphasized that her relationship with Amin was clear and normal now.
After hearing that, Bellamy's expression became relaxed.
In fact, he had a good first impression of Tina.
Now it was confirmed that Tina got married to Amin simply because she was out of choice, and that marriage was just a temporary arrangement and had only nominal nature. What's more, Tina had given birth to such a smart and lovely daughter for Wilson.
For so many years, Tina had been raising Isla up alone.
As a single mother, Tina must have worked very hard. Bellamy even felt a little guilty towards her.
He pulled open the drawer of his desk and took out something from it. He then gave it to Tina and smiled. "Tina, this is for you." It was indeed a rare instance for Bellamy to smile so kindly at Tina.
What's more, he no longer called Tina "Miss Hall". He simply called her name directly, just as his wife did.
In fact, when Bellamy heard Wilson mention that he had a five-year-old daughter called Isla, he had acquiesced to the marriage between Wilson and Tina.
Tina took it with both hands, feeling proud and happy.
It was the dark-red household register. Holding it in her hands, Tina felt as if the household register weighed a thousand pounds.
