Damon's expression darkened significantly. Lacking any experience with children, he instinctively applied the same tactics he used with his subordinates to Mason, only to find it backfiring spectacularly. Frustration filled his eyes as he looked at Mason, who was wailing loudly.

If Mason weren't his son, he would have thrown him out for causing such a scene in his own home.

Spencer returned with snacks and walked into the bedroom to find Damon and Mason locked in a standoff-one looking furious and the other crying his eyes out.

A headache began to form in Spencer's temples.

"Mr. Sumner, didn't Buddy calm down before I left? How did he start crying again so quickly?" Spencer asked

Damon, clearly agitated, snapped, "You handle it!"

With that, he turned and walked away.

Spencer was rendered speechless.

Damon had been the one to make the kid cry, and now he was expected to fix it?

Sighing in resignation, Spencer set down the snacks and squatted beside Mason, trying to comfort him.

Outside the bedroom, Damon lit a cigarette but didn't smoke it. He stared into the swirling smoke, unable to shake off his irritation.

He wasn't good with kids. Although he had dealt with clients' children at the dinner table, they were always polite. He had never encountered a kid with such a terrible attitude as Mason.

It had to be Nyla's fault for not teaching Mason properly. Thinking of her, he couldn't help but recall her stubborn yet beautiful face, which only added to his frustration.

Both she and Mason were a handful.

How had he ended up entangled with such a woman and even allowed her the chance to secretly bear his child?

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through Damon's head, causing his face to pale.

Minutes passed before the pain subsided, and he lost interest in pondering how he had met Nyla. He extinguished his cigarette and picked up his phone, intending to head back to the bedroom when it suddenly rang. Seeing Erin's name flash on the screen, Damon realized he hadn't contacted her in nearly a week while busy with the amusement park project.

As Erin was his fiancee, he felt it was important to inform her about Mason. After all, it wasn't fair to keep such a significant detail from her. With that thought in mind, Damon answered the call.

"Damon, what have you been up to lately? We haven't seen each other in almost a week. Are you free for dinner tonight?" Erin asked

"I have something to tell you," Damon replied, his voice remaining cool as usual

"What is it?" Erin's voice was filled with curiosity, a hint of playfulness in her tone

"I have a son," Damon stated flatly.

A loud thud echoed from Erin's end, followed by her frantic voice. "Damon what are you saying? I don't

understand!"

Damon's gaze drifted as he replied slowly. "A woman secretly gave birth to my child. I plan to bring him to live with me"

"H-How is that possible? Is that woman lying to you." Erin's voice trembled, sounding choked up.

"I've already done a paternity test." Damon informed her.

Silence fell on Erin's end as her response faded away.

After a moment of silence, with no reply from her, Damon said in a low voice, "The child will live with me from now on, which isn't fair to you. So, you might want to reconsider our engagement. If you wish to break it off, I can- "Don't! I don't want to break off the engagement!" Erin exclaimed.
