When Ryan and Freya put on an act and made some casual remarks, Heidi and Nathan fell for it just like that.
They were no ordinary people but the prime minister and his wife. Who in Australia had the audacity to play mind games with them and even successfully deceive them?
After breakfast, Freya and Ryan left together.
Nathan took a tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth. He said to his wife glumly, "How can Ryan take care of Dani? He's a man, and moreover, he’s unmarried and childless. How would he know how to take care of a kid? I think I'd better ask Sister-in-law t o pick Dani up and let her stay in the old residence for two months. After all, Dani is her biological granddaughter. Sister-in-law has always been nagging about it too."
Heidi smiled, but she slightly disagreed with the idea." If she looks after Dani, she might not send her back later."
Upon hearing that, Nathan furrowed his brows. " Darling, you mean..." "As you said, Sister-in-law misses Dani very much.
What if she gets so used to taking care of Dani in the next two months that she refuses to return her to Freya after she comes back?"
Heidi slowly sipped on the warm water. “Freya is our goddaughter. Since she's staying in The Lodge and is willing to leave Dani here, it means that she trusts us. A child is like a mother's flesh. Men like you won't understand. If Dani's custody is taken away one day, that's similar to taking a woman's life away."
"You're exaggerating it. My brother and sister-in-law aren’t that kind of people." Those words upset Nathan, but Heidi was his wife, after all. Casting their relationship aside, Wendy and Jason had come this far mainly because of gains.
"The two of them did not meddle with Dani’s custody because they were guilty toward Freya. Humanity is most fragile over the course of time. Let’s put Brother and Sister-in-law aside and talk about Rodney."
Aware of his wife's temper, Nathan gave a dry cough. "I t seems you're very fond of Dani. Unfortunately, she's not Ryan's biological child. I wonder when that kid is going to give birth to our grandson."
"That's why I asked him to look after Dani more often. With Dani's cuteness, he might want to be a father after spending more time with her.”
Heidi sighed and said, "I'm not expecting him to be straight. I’ll be content as long as he gives birth to a grandson for me.”
"You... You have such low expectations," Nathan said huffily, "How can a prime minister's son..."
"Forget it." Heidi rolled her eyes at him. "You’re not an emperor in ancient times who can hold the position till you pass away either. It's unknown whether you can continue being in office three years later. Even if you can, the longest you can be in office will be seven o r eight years. A lot of people are eyeing your position. Once you step down, hardly anyone will care about your son."
