Hunt A CEO Husband For My Mommy

Chapter 73 The Campbell Family

Chapter 73 The Campbell Family

When Freya returned to the office, she heard her phone ringing. She quickly rushed over to pick it up and said, "Hello!"

"My bodyguard is on the way to pick you up. You go fetch our son home. I'll be back later tonight." Austin's husky voice rang out.

Freya responded, "Okay."

Austin hung up the phone. Freya tidied up her design drafts and was ready to go back home. She came downstairs with the design drafts in a canvas bag, and the bodyguard's car was already waiting there.

Seeing Freya, the bodyguard got out of the car and respectfully held the car door open for her. Freya was somewhat flattered and said with a smile, "Thank you."

Upon arriving at school, Freya saw Daniel waiting there. At the sight of her, Daniel immediately asked, "Where's Daddy?"

"He's a bit busy, so he's not with me to pick you up," said Freya soothingly to Daniel.

Freya took her son to the mall to buy groceries and then went home together.

After returning home, Freya prepared dinner and began to wonder if Austin would come home for dinner tonight.

Did she need to give him a call? If he came back for dinner, she would spared herself the trouble of preparing another meal. After all, she had to save time for work later!

"Daniel, give your dad a call and ask if he comes home for dinner tonight. "Freya didn't want to make a call herself and asked her son to do it.

Daniel, who got his father's number memorized, immediately walked over to the phone and made a call. When the call connected, he waited eagerly for his father to speak.

About seven seconds later, Austin answered the phone. "Hello!"

"Daddy, it's me! Mommy's asking if you're going home for dinner tonight," Daniel said.

"Tell her, I'm not going back." Austin's deep voice sounded a bit cheerful.

"Got it. Daddy, when will you be back?"

"It may be around nine o'clock."

"Okay then! Mommy and I will wait for you to come home. Goodbye, Daddy," Daniel said, then hung up the phone.

At the airport, Austin and Natalie were sitting in a coffee shop waiting for a flight. When Austin hung up the phone, a contented smile pulled at the corners of his mouth. Daniel's last words were super heartwarming.

The thought of Freya waiting for him to come home gave Austin the satisfaction.

"Austin, Mom and Dad's flight should have landed by now." Natalie was eager to see her nephew Daniel, but she didn't expect that Austin still prevented her from seeing him.

In a moment, the bodyguard picked up Austin's parents who were in their early sixties, dressed quite modestly with an air of simplicity.

They were Austin's father Martin and mother Julia.

"Dad, Mom, you're finally back. Austin and I have been waiting for you for two hours!" Natalie complained, approaching and hugging her mother.

"Why are you waiting for us here? Why didn't you go back home first?" Julia asked in surprise.

"Dad, Mom, before you meet Daniel, I have something to tell you. I've booked a restaurant. Let's go for dinner together!" Austin's eyes flickered with respect for her parents.

When Martin was young, he met Julia and lost interest in the Campbell Group. He was first in the line of succession to become the next president, but he gave up his position. He bought a large farm with Julia and ran a winery in Ashview. As a result, he became the most useless son in his father's eyes.

Julia was hardworking, virtuous, and very supportive of Martin's career. Martin's winery was highly renowned in Ashview, and he was self-sufficient and leading a placid, contented life.

Their son Austin was outstanding. Having him was probably the most satisfying thing in the world. A descendant of the Campbell family would either become the heir to the group or be depressed for the rest of his life. Unless he gave up stunning wealth, he would definitely lose his sanity and become insatiable.

"Okay, let's go!" Martin nodded.

In the restaurant.

Austin ordered a table of rich dishes, then began to talk about how he met his son. His family was shocked, their jaws dropping open. They couldn't wait to see this smart kid.

"Austin, take us to see Daniel after dinner! I just can't wait." Natalie said eagerly with a pout.

Austin looked at his parents and sister and smiled faintly, "I have to tell you something."

"What is it? Austin, why do you look so serious? Are you afraid I will bully my little nephew?" Natalie asked with a grin.

Austin told them about Bruce's attitude towards Daniel, and they were shaken to the core. Martin sighed, "Dad's kind of a crank. He's gone too far. Daniel's young. How can he live apart from his mother?"

"You're right! Grandpa is too pushy. Daniel's mom must be sad."

"Austin, what are you going to do? Do you really want to take the kid back to the Campbell Mansion?" Julia looked at Austin. She couldn't bear to see him reduced to a cold-blooded man.

Austin shook his head. "I do not agree with Grandpa, but I will not go against him openly. He gave me a whole year, and I'm gonna make things different."

"Austin, how about you marry Daniel's mom? There's nothing Grandpa can do about it if you two get married!" Natalie said, her face brightening.

Austin spoke with a helpless look, "The problem is that she doesn't want to marry me."

"No way! You look so hot." Natalie was very confident in Austin's charm.

Julia chimed in, "Alright, cut it out. Be patient and hear Austin out."

"Dad, Mom, Freya is very sensitive about the child issue. She's always worried that we'll take Daniel from her, so please do not act like that when you meet with her," cautioned Austin with a serious face.

"Rest assured, we not only treat her and Daniel like family. As long as she'd like to marry into the Campbell family, we have no problem with it," Julia said.

Austin froze for a few seconds, then rubbed his forehead and said, "Mom, it is best not to mention the marriage. She doesn't want it."

Martin and Julia looked at each other and could not believe that their son was so considerate towards a woman. They were very tempted to see what Freya looked like. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

So was Natalie. Austin was so fascinated by Freya. She must be drop-dead gorgeous!

Although they couldn't wait to see Daniel, they had to let Austin rest. It was more than nine o'clock in the evening, so Julia said, "We're not seeing Daniel tonight. It's too late. Let's not disturb him."

"But I want to see him." Natalie had been thinking about it all day.

Austin said soothingly, "You'll see him tomorrow afternoon. I'll take you to pick him up from school."

Natalie could only agree grudgingly.

At night, Martin, Julia, and Natalie stayed in the castle, while Austin returned to his place in the center of the city.

Freya sat on the sofa with a drawing board on her knees. She was sketching, while Daniel was waiting for Austin to come back and bathe him. Before Austin was back, Daniel fell asleep.

Freya was speechless. Daniel was persistent! He kept waiting for Austin to come home and bathe him. That was indeed not a good habit.

What if they would separate a year later?
