Chapter 82 Suddenly Became a Dad

Although Hansel was young, he had an indescribable aura with him standing there. He raised his eyes and looked at Mark Pattinson. His gaze was filled with tenacity and steadfastness. Hansel was unsure how Mark Pattinson would react. Hansel remembered him saying that he did not like kids. So, there was no need for him to show that he really needed Mark Pattinson. However, Mark Pattinson did something that surprised him. He gazed at Hansel and said, “Are you Lyla's son?” “Yes!” Hansel nodded with his expressionless face, making it hard to see what he was thinking. For some reason, Mark Pattinson always felt as if he had seen himself as a kid when he gazed over Hansel. Mark Pattinson could feel for him from his tenacious gaze. “She will be fine!” Mark Pattinson said. Hansel was surprised, but he did not expect him to comfort him at all. Although he did not wish to rely on him, Hansel's heart gradually became calmer with his presence. He knew Mark Pattinson would not look on with folded arms no matter what happened. So, he gradually became less worried. He nodded, “Alright!” While he gazed at the door of the operating room, Hansel sighed, ‘Mummy, you must put in an all-out effort!’ ‘You must!’ When he saw Hansel's expression, Mark Pattinson could not look away for a long time. If it was just coincidence, they would not be so alike until this stage. However, he did not remember having an affair with Lyla. ‘How could he have such a son at this age?!’ This doubt upset him. Although he had always been calm and wise, his feelings were unspeakable at the moment. He wanted to resolve the mystery he wanted to know so desperately. If he did not get it clear, he would become more fretful. “Is she your biological mother?” Mark Pattinson asked. Hansel, “…” He could not help but look at Mark Pattinson. Hansel could not help but complain in his heart. ‘Could there be fakes?’ “Yes!” Hansel nodded. Mark Pattinson furrowed his brows deeper, "Then who...is your Daddy?" he asked. Hansel almost blurted out, ‘It was you.’ But he stopped when he was about to say that. “For this question, you have to ask my mommy!” Mark Pattinson frowned and looked at him puzzledly, “What do you mean?” “I was raised solely by my mummy. Whoever my mummy said should be my daddy will be my daddy!” Mark Pattinson, “…” So, he subconsciously said to himself, ‘In the past few years, Lyla had been taking care of him?’ ‘She did not have other men?’ Although Hansel did not say it clearly, the hint given to him was making him euphoric. It seemed that he had confirmed that the person in front of him was his child. As for the matter of how he had a child with Lyla, he would discuss with Lyla later. Whenever he looked at Hansel, there was an indescribable excitement in his heart. Even if there was no proof saying that he was his son, he was sure about that. It was a feeling that could not be described in words. As he gazed at Hansel, he did not feel any revulsion, but an indescribable feeling. “What's your name?” Mark Pattinson asked. He did not even notice that his voice was trembling. As he gazed over Hansel, he felt an indescribable cautiousness. “Hansel!” Hansel replied. ‘Hansel?’ ‘Why did that name give him such a strong sense of familiarity?’ He was probably dazzled by what was happening in front of him. He did not relate anything to Gretel at all. He just glanced at Hansel and wanted to reach out to pat him. But as his hand was halfway through to touch her, he found that he could not make the final contact no matter what... Hansel was also looking at his hand, as if he knew his intentions. A little excitement arose in his heart. ‘He is not rejecting him?’ He could tell that Mark Pattinson was not rejecting him. No matter how strong Hansel's character was, he was just a kid and craved to have fatherly love. Besides, he liked Mark Pattinson very much, though he was not sure whether Mark Pattinson liked him or not. Hansel stood there without moving. He just looked at Mark Pattinson calmly. In fact, he was thrilled to bits from his heart. Mark Pattinson did not know what he really wanted to do. He, who always hated children, had a different feeling towards Hansel. When a child suddenly appeared, he should have been very angry, which was in accordance to his character. How he wished he could pull Lyla out of the emergency room and asked her what was going on. But for now, it could not be done. He did not reject Hansel’s existence at all. Instead, there was a strange feeling. It was a very strange and exciting feeling, if not a little overwhelming. Finally, Mark Pattinson placed his hand on his shoulder and patted him lightly. “Brother!” At this moment, a voice came in behind him. Hansel was startled and turned his head. At this moment, Gretel ran over from behind him. To his surprise, he was accompanied by Lingo. “Why are you here?” He asked while looking at Lingo, “You...?” Lingo snorted and looked away. “I contacted her. After seeing your location, I decided to come here directly!” Gretel said as she looked around, “Where is Mommy?” She asked worriedly. When she mentioned Mommy, Hansel frowned, “Don't worry, Mommy is injured and she’s now in the emergency room now!” Gretel’s face turned gloomy, “How is Mommy? She won’t be in trouble, right?” “No, no!” Hansel tried to calm her, “Don't worry, Mommy will be fine!” he said. Gretel had always obeyed Hansel’s words since young. Although they were almost the same age, she had faith in Hansel… …because he had never lied to her. She nodded as she thought of that. Hansel sighed while looking at Gretel's worried expressions. In fact, he thought of not telling her about the matter. He had not expected her to come here directly. However, this was not the most important matter. When Mark Pattinson saw Hansel and Gretel standing side-by-side, his expression changed significantly. ‘Hansel, Gretel!’ All of a sudden he understood something. “You are siblings?” Mark Pattinson asked from behind. This had caught the attention of Gretel. She looked at Mark Pattinson, “Handsome Uncle?” ‘Handsome Uncle?! It is time to call him Daddy!’ Mark Pattinson frowned and glanced at them. ‘So, they are siblings. If Hansel was his son, would Gretel be his daughter too?’ Mark Pattinson was also a little confused, and he gazed at Hansel hoping for a clarification. Finally, Hansel nodded, “We are twins!” Mark Pattinson, “…” Some matters could be clarified without needing an explanation. If they were not his children, Gretel would not approach him repeatedly. When he recalled all that again, he was even sure now. Gretel stood aside and did not speak. It seemed that Daddy had been talking to Hansel for a while. Anyhow, she had not expected to meet Daddy on such an occasion. Gretel said nothing and pretended not to know anything! Even if Daddy wanted to blame anyone, it had nothing to do with her. Gretel’s character was very much like Lyla. She could pretend to be ignorant to take advantage of a situation. If someone was ready to be responsible for it, she would rather hide away from any responsibility. Unexpectedly, Mark Pattinson did not say anything but gazed over Gretel with indescribable excitement. All these had been brought to light now. Every time he saw Gretel, he always had a familiar feeling. At first, he thought the reason might be Gretel's resemblance to Lyla. But now, he knew this was not the only reason. “You, come over here!” Mark Pattinson tried very hard to calm himself down while he looked at Gretel. Unlike Hansel, Mark Pattinson could behave more naturally because he had some contact with Gretel before. So, Gretel walked over as Mark Pattinson was no stranger to her. “Uncle!” Gretel gave him a bright smile. Mark Pattinson, “…” When he saw her smile, he had an indescribable feeling. Mark Pattinson gazed at her more carefully this time. Indeed, she shared a close resemblance to Lyla in terms of appearance and personality-wise. As he looked at her, he trembled a little because he was very nervous. He could not help but sigh. In just one night, he suddenly became a dad, on top of that, he was the daddy of two children. There was no transitional period. Although it had shaken his world to the core, he was still very thrilled and excited. When he looked at them, his gaze could not help but show his affection and love to his children. Mark Pattinson could not wait to give them everything he had to make them happy. In Mark Pattinson's life, he had no close family members. His mother died when he was very young. Although Justin Pattinson was his father, he had never done what a father should do. To him, Justin Pattinson was dispensable in his life. In his childhood, he still had an interpersonal trauma resulting from Eileen Dawson. His life was not much better. Over the years, he spread his influence across the organizations. Even though he used fierce tactics, everyone who knew him was aware that he had never done anything that would violate his principles. He was also eager for family affection... The appearance of Hansel and Gretel felt like filling up all the gaps in his heart. He would never let them repeat his mistakes! “Uncle, what’s the matter with you?” Gretel asked, blinking her eyes. Mark Pattinson shook his head. He could not conceal his excitement and said, “Nothing!” As she looked back at him, Gretel also smiled. She could see that Mark Pattinson did not hate them. At least, he was not hating her... The other side. Hansel stood there and sighed as he gazed upon them. Then, he switched his gaze and looked at Lingo, “Thank you for everything you did today!” "Humph!" Lingo snorted coldly. "If there's nothing else, I'm leaving now!" She finished speaking and left before Hansel could open his mouth. She was extremely capricious with her proud attitude. Hansel watched her back, sighing resignedly. ‘Women are all firm in their speech but soft in their heart. ‘Obviously, she cares about him…’ At this moment, Piers Brion walked over and said weakly, “Boss, you and Mark Pattinson...you...” Hansel glanced at Mark Pattinson and remembered something, “Piers Brion, go and do something for me!” Piers Brion blinked, “What?” Hansel stepped forward and said something into his ear. Piers Brion listened and nodded, “Okay, I get it!” “Go!” “But boss, how about...?” “What?” “You and Mark Pattinson, you…?” “Don't worry, I'll be fine!” Piers Brion, “...” He did not want to ask him whether he would be in danger or not. He was interested to know what happened next for both of them. “Why aren’t you going?" Hansel raised his eyebrows. The serious expression in his little face made him quite like a leader. So, Piers Brion did not dare to ask any more. He sighed and left unwillingly.
