Chapter 147
Ophelia blinked nervously. She thought, 'Does he find out so quickly?"
She was about to admit it when Kenneth in front of her parted his thin lips, and a deep, pleasant voice echoed in
her ear. "Trying to use that little one as an excuse to sleep separately from me? Don't even think about it!"
Ophelia pressed her lips together, smiling like a sly little fox. That wasn't her intention at all. "Relax, the three of
us can sleep together."
Kenneth lifted his eyelids, a deep crease running from the inner to the outer corner of his eye, which was slightly
upturned, exuding an air of confidence. "You're givingtoo much credit.
He wasn't generous enough to let someone trying to marry her share the bed with her.
Ophelia was just about to speak when she heard a startled exclamation from inside the room. "Holy crap!"
Noah stood there with a white towel wrapped around his waist, a towel draped over his neck, his short black hair
messy and dripping, as his gaze moved down slowly. "Kid, w-what are you doing here?"
Wyatt blinked his big eyes, which looked like black grapes, and said seriously, "Hello, Uncle. First, I'm not a little
kid, I'm Wyatt Stevens. Second, Ken asked you to helpwith my bath.
Then, being well-behaved, Wyatt took off his khaki trench coat, revealing a blue and white striped sweater.
Noah asked, "Wait a minute, you wantto give you a bath?"
Outside the door, Kenneth raised an eyebrow and warned the person inside, "Noah, take good care of the little
guy. Don't let him get hurt, or you'll be sleeping on the streets tonight." Noah was surprised by Kenneth's words.
Ophelia was still uneasy about leaving Wyatt with Noah.
Kenneth wrapped his arm around her waist. "Don't worry, Noah will treat the little guy like royalty."
Inside the room. Noah crouched down slightly. "Con, little king... no, little buddy, letget you ready for
your bath."

"Thank you, Uncle." Wyatt gave him a slight nod and took off his little blue and white sweater, revealing a canary
yellow tank top underneath.
He asked, "Uncle, could you helptake off my pants, please?"
"Sure thing!" Noah was just about to help him when he suddenly stopped and asked. "Why do you call Kenneth
by his name, but call'uncle'?"
Wyatt replied without hesitation, "Because you look old! My mom toldthat I should call men at your age as
'uncle." Wyatt scratched his head, thinking, 'Why is this strange uncle acting so weird? At his age, doesn't he like
to be called 'uncle'?' Noah was so frustrated he almost choked. He was only two years older than Kenneth.
But on second thought, if he had gotten married and had kids earlier, he could indeed have a child about Wyatt's
age now.
In no time, Wyatt had stripped down, showing his chubby, round little belly.
Noah was filling the tub while watching him. "Wow, | didn't realize you were this chubby. Your parents must feed
you really well." He slipped his hands under Wyatt's arms and placed the little guy in the water.

Wyatt's eyes showed a hint of sadness. "I don't have a dad."
"Oh, I'm sorry! Did your dad pass away?"

Wyatt's long eyelashes fluttered. It was the first tsomeone had asked him such a question, and suddenly he
didn't know how to respond. His eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his little face showed a complex expression. "I
guess... maybe he passed away?" He was not even sure what "pass away" meant.
"Well... That's pretty sad. Dying is one thing, but living and being abandoned by your family is just heartless! Do
you get what I'm saying? Let's change the subject. Do you have a girlfriend?" Wyatt frowned even deeper. "I do,
and it's Ophelia."
"You're really brave, daring to compete with Kenneth for a girl!" Noah chatted with Wyatt like he was talking to
an adult.
The questions were all so weird. Wyatt sighed. "Uncle, why don't you take a break?"
Noah lathered soap bubbles on himself with a bath sponge. "Kiddo, you're really thoughtful. I'm not tired."
"But I'm tired."
Noah went into silence.
After the bath, Ophelia had already laid out the little dinosaur pajamas she had bought for Wyatt on the bed.
"Wow! These pajamas look amazing!" Before Wyatt could move forward, Noah was already holding them up
against himself.
Wyatt was speechless, thinking how difficult it was to manage this adult. So tired!
So, after Wyatt changed into his pajamas, he fell asleep on Noah's bed. Noah looked at the cute little dinosaur on
the bed, a smile unknowingly appearing on his lips.
The next morning, Ophelia, along with the maids of Rosewood Manor, covered all the sharp edges in the house
with foam boards to ensure Wyatt wouldn't bump into anything and get hurt. The weather was lovely. Ophelia
took Wyatt to the playground at the back. Following them was Noah.
Kenneth lifted Wyatt onto the carousel. It was Wyatt's first triding it, and he was full of eager anticipation.
Noah joyfully hopped on as well.
As the carousel started, Ophelia stood below with her phone, recording videos of Wyatt to send to Chloe.
Kenneth had his arm around her shoulders, watching Wyatt with a loving gaze.
Ophelia asked, "Honey, wouldn't it be perfect if we had a child as obedient and cute as Wyatt someday, don't
you think?"
Kenneth turned slightly, his shadowed figure appearing even taller. So, she had been waiting for him here. He

a great dad one day, right, Daddy?"
Kenneth squinted his eyes, casting her a sidelong glance. Ophelia smiled mischievously, like a little fox.
Kenneth let out a light scoff, bending down to give her a firm kiss on the lips. "Don't think you can trick me."
Ophelia was speechless, realizing she'd miscalculated.
Just then, Wyatt circled back to where he started, happily waving at them. Ophelia quickly pushed Kenneth
away, continuing 12:41 Sun, Nov 1/

But soon after, Noah, who was following them, also waved at them. In a flash, the scene went from
heartwarming to creepy
Ophelia spent the entire day playing with Wyatt, recording various videos but hadn't managed to send them to
Chloe before her phone ran out of battery.
In the evening, as Ophelia was getting Wyatt ready for his bath, still in their clothes, a video call from Chloe
cthrough.
Seeing Wyatt, a smile appeared on Chloe's face. "Have you been listening to Ophelia?"
Wyatt nodded and followed Chloe's instructions as he shared all the day's events with her through the video call.
Chloe said, "Good boy. Mommy will cpick you up tomorrow morning, so don't trouble your sister."
"Okay." Wyatt nodded his head.
After the video call ended, Kenneth walked over and looked down at Wyatt.
"It's not appropriate for boys and girls to be too casual; there are places Ophelia shouldn't see. Lethelp you
with your
bath." Kenneth said firmly. With that, he picked up Wyatt and took him into the bathroom.
