You Are My One and Only

Adeline couldn’t believe her ears upon hearing Sylvie’s words. Hence, she asked in utter disbelief, “G-

Granny?” Meanwhile, Patricia nearly couldn’t hold back her laughter. In her heart, she praised Sylvie,

Well done, Sylvie! Isaac looked down as he heard Sylvie’s voice. His heart abruptly ached when he

saw the pitiful look on her little face. Then, he said coldly, “Have someone send Miss Aniston home!”

And thus, Liam walked to Adeline’s side. Then, he made a gesture as if saying, ‘after you, Miss

Aniston’. Adeline got so mad that she glared at Patricia in anger. However, in her heart, she thought,

Did you see that, Patricia?! This man here is my future husband. I won’t lower myself to the same level as a shrew such as you. Turning around, she left. After seeing Adeline leave, Sylvie hugged Isaac’s

thigh. “Mr. Handsome, that Granny is so ugly! How about I introduce my lovely Mommy to you?” With

that, she pointed to Patricia and started introducing her. “She’s my lovely and fair-skinned Mommy,

Patricia Aniston!” Upon hearing that, Isaac replied to her. “We met in the hospital the last time you were

sick.” “Oh, oh! Then do you like Tricia?” Unlike Sylvie’s excited state, Patricia’s liking toward this man

was completely gone after she knew Adeline was going to marry him. At once, she grabbed her

daughter. “Sylvie Aniston, have you had enough? Shut your little mouth.” With one hand, Patricia held

her daughter. Before she turned around and left, she said coldly, “Mr. Arnold, thank you for lending me

your clothes.” Although she was expressing her gratitude, she didn’t sound like she was thanking him

at all. Instead, it seemed like she was disrespecting him. “Honestly, Miss Aniston, you don’t have to

give me back. I don’t wear clothes worn by other people.” Isaac had a half smile when he was saying

those words. He kept looking at her, but in the end, he couldn’t remember where he saw her. However,

Patricia misunderstood him and felt that he despised her. At once, her facial expression darkened

slightly. Then, she took her daughter with her and strode away. As she marched angrily, she couldn’t

help but reprimand him in her heart, Who does he think he is to be so arrogant?! He’s just a big stud with no taste! Meanwhile, Sylvie sensed that Patricia was angry, and she giggled. “Tricia, don’t you

think Mr. Handsome has a cool personality? He’s so handsome!” Sylvie went into a state of

anthomaniac when she thought about Isaac’s handsome look. Patricia knew that her daughter wouldn’t

budge whenever she saw a handsome guy, and she had a bit of a headache. Considering that it wasn’t

in her nature to act like that, she couldn’t help but wonder, I’m curious as to whose gene this girl inherited. Later, the two returned home. Once they entered the house, Scott and Stellan came and

greeted them. One brought slippers for Sylvie, while the other brought slippers for Patricia. As Scott

looked at Patricia, changing her shoes, there were traces of maturity on his handsome little face that

his peers didn’t have. “Mommy, the landlord just came and demanded that we pay the rent before next

Monday. Otherwise, he will rent the place to someone else. Oh, and the rent has increased by 500

bucks.” When Patricia heard that, she was stunned for a moment. Shortly after, she said, “I got it. Go

and play with your younger siblings.” In her heart, she counted the fees she needed to pay. But, as she

counted, her facial expression gradually turned awful. The rent is 2,000 a month. So that will be 12,000 in half a year. The training class for Scott and Stellan is 20,000 each, and Sylvie’s piano class is 20,000. So it’s a total of 60,000. At this rate, it’s impossible for me to rely on my current part-time job to support such a significant expenditure. Therefore, Patricia felt that she could only return to her old

profession—dancing in Everbright. I was the dancing queen there and earned a lot of money. Also, I could raise three of my children thanks to this income. Initially, I thought I could finally leave that place. But, it seems like I can only continue in this profession until I can find a high-paying job. Meanwhile,

Scott stood there and looked at her with a frown. “Mommy, do we still have money at home?” He was

trying to see if she had seen the money they had transferred to her bank account. Patricia caressed his

handsome face upon hearing his worries. “Don’t worry about it. I’ll pay the rent tomorrow. So, we won’t

be kicked out.” Scott had long been used to being kicked out by rude landlords. There was even a time

when the landlord kicked them out, and their whole family had to roam around the street with their

luggage when he was very young. Never once did Scott forget about that feeling. Hence, both Stellan

and he wished they could grow up fast so that they could share Patricia’s burden. At the same time,

Sylvie was with Stellan on the other side of the house. Secretly taking Stellan into the room, she closed

the door and mysteriously took out a business card. “Stellan, look! Today, I met a handsome man who

resembles you and Scott. Could he possibly be our daddy? I really want him to be my daddy!” As for

Stellan, he had long used to the fact that Sylvie would think every single person she met resembled

them once she thought of Daddy. Thus, he reached out his hand, fondly caressed her head, and

arched his eyebrows. “Let me have a look.” He took the business card and shook his head when he

saw that the person was the president of Arnolds Corporation. “He’s too smart. Tricia won’t be able to

handle a guy like him.” After all, Mommy isn’t very smart, and she’s too kind. I’m afraid she’ll be bullied if her partner’s a man who is too powerful. Sylvie pouted and whined when she heard Stellan’s

comment, “But I want him to be our daddy. You and Scott are brilliant. So, I’m sure we won’t have to be

afraid that he’s too smart with you two around, right? And what if he really is our daddy?” She said all

that while tugging and shaking Stellan’s sleeve with an expectant gaze in her bright eyes. Since Sylvie

was their only female sibling, Scott and Stellan usually doted on her and pampered her. Therefore,

Stellan merely nodded lightly after he saw she liked the idea of Isaac being their father so much.
