When Gungun did not know what to say, Aunt Chen came over and said, “Miss Liya, Young Master is coming to pick up Little Master.”
“Young Master Pratap is coming?” Liya quickly touched up her makeup.
Aunt Chen held GunGun’s hand and said in a low voice, “Young Master told us to go downstairs directly. As usual, he’s waiting at the usual spot.”
Every time Shivam came to pick GunGun up, he never took a step inside.
Feeling disappointed, Liya bit her red lip.
Even with GunGun by her side, she had never been favored by Shivam. If it were not for the pressure from the elders of the Pratap family, she might not even be able to see GunGun.
Even now, Shivam still refused to see her.
However, only a man like Shivam could make her feel safe. If he did not want to see her, it also meant that he would not see other women. All women were equal in front of Shivam.
What she lacked was time.
“GunGun, let me take you downstairs.” Liya held his hand.
When they got downstairs, GunGun broke free from her grip and ran straight to Shivam’s car.
Liya hurried forward. Shivam picked GunGun up and buckled him into the safety seat in the backseat.
“Young Master Pratap,” Liya greeted.
Shivam nodded slightly as a response. Without saying a word, he drove away.
Liya slightly clenched her fists and looked at the dust left by the car that was speeding away.
.....
When GunGun got home, he felt relaxed.
A smile immediately appeared on his round face. He hugged Isha and buried his head in her shoulders as if this was the only way to get rid of the gloominess he felt from before.
Isha hugged him quietly for a while before asking in a low voice, “What’s wrong, my sweetheart?”
“It’s so nice to hold Ishi,” GunGun said in a childish voice.
“Ishi thinks so too. It feels so good to hold GunGun.”
GunGun raised his head and looked at Isha seriously. “Ishi, if someone wants to be my mommy, what should I do?”
Isha’s heart skipped a beat as a wave of displeasure surged through her body.
Was there such a woman?
It did not seem strange. Shivam was a good man, and he was one of the best bachelors in this City. It was not strange that women liked him.
“Who said that?”
“It’s my aunt. She asked me today if she could be my mommy.”
Isha suddenly thought of Liya, Kiran’s sister and GunGun’s legitimate aunt.
She did not expect that Liya would fall for Shivam.
It was not surprising. After all, it was normal for sisters to have the same preferences and it was reasonable that they would fall in love with the same man. Besides, Kiran had died in a car accident a long time ago. Liya probably did not have anything to feel guilty about for liking Shivam.
However, hearing GunGun’s words made Isha feel empty and uncomfortable.
Perhaps in the future, Liya would really be the one who raised GunGun and Abhay.
She hoped that Liya would at least treat Abhay and GunGun equally.
“Ishi, do you think I should get her to be my mommy?” GunGun frowned seriously. Obviously, this question made him feel very uncomfortable.
Isha asked softly, “Then are you willing to have her become your mommy?”
GunGun shook his head. He did not really like his aunt. He knew that his father did not like her either, but it seemed that the rest of the family liked her.
Hence, GunGun would entertain her during every visit but he would not put much emotion into it.
“Ishi, does a mommy live with the daddy? What’s the difference between a mommy and a wife?”
Isha smiled. “Yes. A mommy is someone who’s with your daddy, and your wife is with you.”
GunGun lowered his head and thought hard.
Isha gently patted his little head and said, “GunGun, there are some things that you don’t understand yet. You don’t have to think so hard about them.. I only want to tell you one thing. Regarding questions like whether or not you’re willing to accept a woman and let her into your life, you need to follow what your heart says. If you do that, you won’t be wrong.”
GunGun touched his heart, not really understanding what was going on.
“GunGun, if you want to choose your mommy or wife in the future, please choose the kind of person you like very much. Your feelings won’t lie to you, okay?” Isha seriously reminded him, hoping that he could find a mother who really loved him in the future.
“Okay, got it!” GunGun nodded heavily as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
He ran to his room, picked up his smartwatch, and was thinking about something.
Of course, his favorite woman was Ishi. He would approve of having Ishi be his wife or mommy.
However, if he let Ishi be his mommy, she would be with Daddy and could not be his wife.
Ishi was his ideal type, so she could not be his mommy. Hence, he had to let another woman be his mommy. That meant that he could only let Liya be his mommy for the time being.
If Shivam had Liya, he would not take Ishi away from him.
His wife was more important, so he had to settle for second-best for his mommy.
Besides Liya, he did not know anyone else.
After making up his mind, GunGun called Liya.
Liya did not expect that GunGun would take the initiative to call her. She answered the phone with some surprise. “GunGun.”
“I’ll call you ‘Mommy’.”
“GunGun!” Liya was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. She did not notice that there was no joy in GunGun’s voice at all. Instead, there was only coldness and helplessness in his voice.
Regardless, Liya was overjoyed. Now that she had won over GunGun, winning over Shivam would be an easier task!
“I’m hanging up. Goodbye.” GunGun hung up quickly.
He felt uncomfortable talking to Liya.
Even after hanging up the phone, GunGun still felt very uncomfortable. Ishi had said that whether it was his mommy or his wife, he had to choose the woman he liked.
However, the only woman he liked was Ishi. He could not do anything about it.
However, when he heard himself say the word ‘Mommy’ so easily, he felt suffocated and uncomfortable. He was sitting on the carpet by the bed, feeling like he had let someone down. However, he did not know whom he had let down. This feeling was so uncomfortable.
When Isha heard GunGun calling Liya his mommy, the sadness in her heart burst out uncontrollably.
It turned out that GunGun liked Liya. That was good. After all, he needed a mommy to take care of him.
Isha smiled and hugged GunGun.
GunGun turned around and threw himself into Isha’s arms. Tears streamed down his face as he was feeling horrible. His chubby little hands clutched Isha’s clothes tightly.
Isha asked gently, “GunGun, what do you want to eat? I’ve learned a lot of recipes recently. You can cook with me as well. Do you want to help me?”
“Okay.” GunGun stopped being sad.
Isha led him into the kitchen and found a few novel ingredients to show to him. GunGun was so distracted that he forgot about his previous sadness.
Shivam was watching Abhay fiddle with the computer.
He pointed out a small problem to Abhay.
Abhay was obviously stunned. He knew that Shivam was powerful, but he did not expect him to be so powerful.
As expected, he was a man who had the same genes as himself.
After making desserts, Isha brought them out to Shivam and Abhay.
As the four of them sat around the table, GunGun said happily, “I helped Ishi prepare the sago. I also helped serve the dessert.”
“GunGun is the best! He’s a genius assistant.” Isha gave him a thumbs up.
Abhay said, “Isha is right.”
“Isha makes sense,” Shivam said.
GunGun felt that they were just being perfunctory. Only Ishi was sincere. He snorted twice before continuing to eat his desserts.
Isha looked at Abhay and said, “Abhay, school is about to start. Shivam and I want to ask for your opinion. Do you plan to go to the same kindergarten as GunGun?”
GunGun’s eyes lit up. “Brother Abhay, do you want to go to kindergarten with me? Let’s do it. Let’s do it!”
Abhay shook his head. “I don’t plan to go to kindergarten.”
“Brother Abhay, is it because you don’t like me so you don’t want to be with me?” GunGun lowered his head.
Abhay patted his head. “I like you, but I can’t go to kindergarten with you. I want to go straight to primary school.”
“Can I go straight to primary school as well?”
“You can’t play with toys in primary school. You have to do a lot of homework as well.”
“Then I’ll... go to kindergarten first.” GunGun shrank his neck and made up his mind after hesitating for a while.
The two adults then decided that GunGun would go to kindergarten as normal.
Meanwhile, Abhay would go to primary school.
Of course, Abhay did not enter the first grade and directly entered the third grade.
However, he had to pass the entrance examination first.
Shivam and Isha would accompany him to the entrance examination the next day.
In order to meet Abhay’s requirements and needs, Shivam found this school for him. Many young talents in IIT's had come from this school. The children in this school were all talented and extremely smart, so skipping grades was normal here.
Abhay would be in a good place here.
Isha changed into a delicate-looking outfit. She wore a long cotton dress that covered her long legs. Her makeup was light, and her braids were casually tied. She looked like a gentle mother.
Shivam was wearing the clothes that Isha had bought for him for a few hundred rupees. He gave up his high-end custom-made shirt and suit.
The two of them looked just like an ordinary couple.
The only thing that stood out was that Shivam was very handsome. Although he tried to keep a low profile, he was still dazzling.
