My Secret Billionaire Husband Chapter 2787 - 2795: Why is it so unusual today?

The child shoved her aside and wailed loudly, "I don’t want you to be my mom, wu wu wu, I want my own mom. I don’t want to be here, I want to go home, I want to go home..."

Annie Lawrence never saw the little boy pushing her away coming.

Though just four years old, his shove nearly sent her tumbling down.

Her expression darkened right away.

Anger surged within her, but the live broadcast flashed in her mind, forcing her to swallow her rage.

Deep down, irritation festered fiercely.

Damn it.

Why pair her with such a bratty, disobedient kid?

His endless bawling grated on her nerves; she itched to shove something in his mouth to silence him.

Edward Cooper hadn’t anticipated this outburst from the boy either. Heartbroken by the pitiful sobs, he dropped to a squat and soothed him, "Lucus, why are you crying? No one is bullying you. Before coming on the show, didn’t you promise your Dad and Mom that you would be well-behaved and not cry easily?"

"Mr. Cooper, I want to go home." Tears still welled in the little boy’s eyes as he hiccuped through sobs.

A pounding headache struck Edward Cooper: "Baby, you are here to participate in our show. We have to wait until the show is over, and then Mr. Cooper can take you home. Before you came, we talked about it, and you agreed, so why do you want to go home now?"

"Don’t be afraid."

Edward Cooper gently drew the little boy from his embrace and gestured toward Annie Lawrence at his side, "This is your new mom. You will live with your new mom for the next half month, and she will take good care of you."

"Yeah, Lucus, come with Mom, okay?" Annie Lawrence feigned gentleness as she stretched out to pat the little boy’s head once more, desperate to recover her lost composure. "Lucus, don’t be afraid, Mom is not a bad person, and Mom will love you."

Who would have thought.

Her hand had barely extended when the little boy dodged before she could touch his head.

Acting as if fleeing some horrifying beast, the little boy plunged desperately into Edward Cooper’s arms, "No, I don’t want her to be my mom, I don’t want to go with her, I don’t want to!"

Another rejection shattered the smile on Annie Lawrence’s face.

Even Edward Cooper sensed the awkwardness creeping in.

Past child guests had their hiccups too, but none had sobbed like Lucus, desperately begging to leave.

Lucus had always proven so obedient before.

What triggered this sudden meltdown?

After all, he was merely a child, leaving them no option but to keep coaxing.

Edward Cooper inquired patiently, "Lucus, aren’t you the most obedient and well-behaved? Tell Mr. Cooper, why don’t you want to go with your new mom, don’t you like her?"

The little boy peeked timidly at Annie Lawrence, catching the fleeting shadow of malice in her gaze, which terrified him into burying his face back in Edward Cooper’s chest, clinging fiercely while bursting into "wa" cries again.

Edward Cooper found himself totally at a loss.

Any other issue, he could tackle.

Children, however, left him powerless.

He couldn’t fathom what ailed Lucus, who was normally so fine. Why this bizarre behavior today?

Viewers in the live stream chat erupted into chatter.

"This Lucus is really difficult, it seems like even Edward Cooper can’t handle him."

"The other two kids are well-behaved, and Lucus isn’t even the youngest one. Why is he so ignorant? With such a timid personality and not wanting to participate in the show, they shouldn’t have let him come."
