Chapter 103: Chapter 103 The Secret of Waylon Lewis and the Two Babies
Finally, Waylon Lewis went upstairs with Hope Williams. The two little ones were probably waiting for Hope to come back—she didn’t even need to take out her keys as the door opened from the inside, and out rushed the two little figures, plunging into Hope’s arms.
“Mommy, we taught the bad lady a lesson today, please praise us, hug us, applaud us.”
The two little treasures blinked expectantly, as if to say hurry up and praise me, quick.
However, they then saw Waylon Lewis, dressed in a black suit, following behind Mommy, and they paused in surprise.
“I knew today’s video was the work of you two little rascals.”
“Mommy, how come the bad daddy is here?”

Hope got up, almost forgetting that Waylon Lewis was still standing behind her, “It’s raining too heavily outside to head back home.”
“Oh—then come in, bad daddy,” Luke and Willow didn’t resist Waylon’s presence now.
Hope’s apartment was a duplex with upper and lower floors. There was plenty of space for her and her two little treasures. The interior was decorated in warm tones; warm yellow walls adorned with pictures of Hope with Luke and Willow, creating a cozy atmosphere.
Hope glanced at her watch and asked, “Do you want to stay for dinner?”
Mainly because she was hungry, and Luke and Willow hadn’t eaten yet. Aunt Thompson was still busy in the kitchen, and Hope couldn’t possibly start the meal and make Waylon just sit there.
Waylon nodded, “Sure.”
Hope nodded and entered the kitchen, where Aunt Thompson had already washed the vegetables, just waiting to start cooking. Hope went in to help.
Luke and Willow sat on the cream-colored carpet, where Willow thoughtfully poured a glass of water for Waylon Lewis, “Here you go, bad daddy, have some water.”
Waylon reached out and took it, “Thanks.”
Willow said “You’re welcome” and sat back down to play with her doll.
Waylon took a few sips of water when he noticed a little notebook on the floor, picked it up.
Luke saw and quickly got up, but it was too late.
“Feeding Mommy earns five points…
Taking Brother Jimmy home earns five points…
Forgetting Mommy’s birthday loses fifty points!
Not trusting Mommy loses fifty points!
Driving Mommy home earns five points…” Waylon’s magnetic voice calmly rose.
He paused for a moment, then lifted his gaze to the two anxious little ones and a hint of a smile appeared on his lips, “Why can you only earn five points for the good things, yet lose fifty for the bad?”
Luke blinked, and when Waylon asked this, he countered, “Do you think it’s unreasonable?”
“Is it reasonable?” Waylon asked back.
“Why do you think it’s unreasonable?” Father and son, two surprisingly similar faces, confronted each other squarely as if facing off, “We think it’s quite reasonable. If you don’t want to lose points, just treat our Mommy well, strive not to lose any points, and then what you think is unreasonable won’t exist, right?”
It made a lot of sense.
“I’m still minus eighty points?”
“That’s right, with a full score of a hundred, you’re not only failing but also in the negatives!” Luke was exasperated.
Waylon Lewis, “…” That was pretty bad.
“If this keeps up, bad daddy, it’s looking risky for you,” Willow warned Waylon kindly.
Waylon couldn’t help but smile, “So, does taking her home today earn me another five points?”
Luke and Willow nodded at the same time, and Willow took out her little colored pencils to add five points for Waylon.
Waylon watched as the little one diligently added five points for him. Even though it was just five points, Waylon looked as jubilant as if he had sealed a billion-dollar deal.
“If I get a full score, does that mean I can marry your Mommy?”
“Nope.” Luke heartlessly said, “It only means you’re adequate in our eyes.”
“Right, as for marrying Mommy, you’re far from it, bad daddy; it’s like you’re daydreaming, thinking you can marry her so easily,” Willow added.
Waylon, taken aback by their daydreaming comments, couldn’t help but chuckle, “Then at least if I get a full score you’ll drop the ‘bad’ from daddy, right?”
Luke and Willow looked at each other and nodded, “That we could do.”
“So, what should I work on?” After all, according to these two, any slight mistake could send him tumbling back into an abyss.
“You figure it out yourself.” They weren’t about to give him any hints.
At that moment, Hope called them over to eat, “What are you talking about, come on, it’s time to eat.”
Luke and Willow gave Waylon Lewis a glance, signaling to him with their eyes, and he quietly put the notebook aside. They were evidently relieved, it seemed the notebook was something Hope wasn’t aware of.
“Nothing much, let’s eat,” Waylon said as he got to his feet.
Hope didn’t suspect a thing and headed straight for the dining table.
Luke and Willow flanked Waylon quietly saying, “Mommy can’t find out about this, okay? It’s our little secret.”
Waylon smiled helplessly and rubbed their heads, “Got it, let’s go eat.”
“Pinky promise!” Luke and Willow held out their little fingers to Waylon.
“A pinky promise?”
“Hurry, before Mommy comes back.” Luke urged.
Waylon extended his little finger, solemnly locking it with theirs and even performed a sealing gesture with great ceremony.
A gentle smile played on Waylon’s lips, and a warm current flowed through his heart.
At the dinner table, Hope had served up food for everyone, Luke and Willow settled next to each other, with Waylon sitting opposite Hope.
