Neban had a lie ready on the tip of his tongue when Tessa beat him by speaking first.
"I am your mother." She told Theo.
Theo did not say anything nor reacted; he only put his head on Neban's shoulder. Theo remembers his dad mentioning that he started taking care of him when he was one because Neban first had him during that time.
Is that why his body was reacting this way? Theo was not a mean person, but when he looked at the woman, who claimed to be his mom, hate would fester within him.
"Can I go to the bedroom, papa? I am tired." Theo softly whispered in Neban's ear.
Neban rubbed his son's back before nodding his head. He let Theo down, handing him his phone, "Go to the room and contact anyone while waiting for me." Neban wanted to say names but couldn't with Tessa there.
But it was okay because Theo understood. The boy nodded, holding his dad's phone in a tight grip before walking away.
