Chapter 179 Anna’s Misunderstanding
Immediately, Anna saw the two people seated at the dining table, and when she got closer, she realized that Colton
was holding a child in his arms. Fixing her eyes on them, she froze on the spot.
That child Colton is holding looks exactly like him when he was a kid. There’s no mistake about it!
Stunned for a few seconds, she finally asked shakily, “When did you have a son?”
All these years, there had been no woman by Colton’s side, and there was only Queenie at the most, but he had
never touched her. Worried for him, Anna had introduced many ladies of respectable families or women from clean
backgrounds to him, but he turned all of them away without any interest.
She had thought that she wouldn’t have a grandchild, but unexpectedly, she discovered such a huge surprise when
she came over today.

That child was even wearing pink pajamas while holding a sandwich in his hands, looking so adorable that her heart
almost melted.
A look of delight washed over Anna’s face. Actually, she was here today to discuss Wendy’s birthday with Colton,
but she had bumped into such a big secret instead.
I’ve always wondered why there has never been a woman by Colton’s side. So it turns out that he already has a
lover, who has even given birth to my grandchild in secret!
Seeing the delight on his mother’s face, Colton could guess what was on her mind, and he hurriedly interjected,
worried that she would have the wrong idea. “Mom, don’t let your thoughts run wild. This is Nicole’s son.”
Right after the words left his lips, Anna smiled warmly and nodded. “I know, I know. No wonder you insist on
standing on her side; it’s because you have this relationship with her.” She covered her mouth, but her smile
remained, and she discreetly straightened her face, turning to Colton. “I’m not such a conservative person, and I
don’t mind as long as you love her. There’s completely no reason for you to hide this from me.”
Sensing that his mother had gone too far with her misunderstanding, Colton was about to explain when Hayden,
who was exceptionally talented at reading the situation, called out to Anna, “Grandma.”
The baby voice paired with his innocent and adorable face made Anna chuckle happily, and she paced forward.
“Oh, my dear grandson. You’re such a good kid.”
Anxiously, Nicole looked at Hayden and chided, “Hayden, don’t simply just call anyone that!”
However, Anna’s brows furrowed slightly when she heard Nicole, and she asked in a displeased manner, “What do
you mean? Am I not fit to be this child’s grandmother?”
Stumped by her reply, Nicole hurriedly explained after a few seconds, “It’s not like that, Mrs. Gardner. I don’t mean
it that way. It’s just that he’s not President Gardner’s son, but mine.”
Anna glanced at Hayden before looking at the two adults in front of her. “Did Colton let you down?” she asked

“Huh?” Nicole blurted out, unable to react to the situation, but when she did, she hurriedly shook her head. “No, he
didn’t.”
Before Nicole could continue, Anna interjected, “If Colton let you down, you can tell me and I’ll teach him a lesson.
Anyhow, you should let your child acknowledge his roots.”
Nicole was caught speechless by her words, and all the explanation she had was stuck in her throat.
Meanwhile, Anna had already taken a liking to Hayden, who looked exactly like Colton when he was little. With a
wide smile, she added, “I understand it. You don’t have to explain anymore. Colton must have let you down in the
past; that’s why it turned out like this. Whatever compensation you ask for, as long as it’s reasonable, the Gardners
will fulfill all of your requests.” At the end, she even lamented, “Colton had never allowed anyone else into his
house, and he even disliked it when his sister came. Are you telling me there’s nothing between the two of you
when he actually allowed you to stay?”
At this point, Nicole felt that there were no words she could use to clarify the situation anymore.
