Chapter 1499 From the moment Damian hit the terrible twos, Bernard found himself scheming like a cat burglar just to spend some alone time with Eleanor. His usual tactic was to lull the tyke to sleep and then whisk him away to dreamland. But like clockwork, it would take just one try before Damian would pop open his eyes and unleash his cries.
Craving the uninterrupted passion they once enjoyed, which often meant a good seven or eight rounds of unabashed romance, Bernard resorted to dropping the little brat off at Cedricâs place.
At first, Cedric didnât mind playing the occasional babysitter. But after a while, he started to raise an eyebrow. Observing Bernardâs pattern, he realized Bernardâs libido was the reason behind these frequent visits. Damian was simply being offloaded for the sake of parental playtime.
Each time Bernard dropped off his son, Cedric found the perfect opportunity to rib him, though Bernardâs prepared. Heâd plop Damian on the floor, spin on his heel, and exit without a backward glance.
However, this little boy found a way to deal with it.
Cedric would often recount how his two kids, couldnât outwit or outfight Damian, who they dubbed âThe Little Tyrantâ. He drove them to tears daily with his mischief.
It was one thing for Damian to plague the sibling duo, but Cedric soon found himself on the receiving end of the toddlerâs antics.
âWhat kind of mischief are we talking about?â Eleanor asked, ever the skeptic about her sonâs angelic demeanor.
Cedric drew a picture with his words, telling her that Damian played the angel whenever Hailey was around. But the moment she stepped out, the boy became a terror, insisting that only Uncle Cedric should hold him. Sure, the kid was a mere tot, light as a feather, but try cradling that bundle of energy all day, and even the strong Cedric couldnât do the job.
Juggling Damian and consoling the weepy twins, Cedricâs days were squandered in a whirlwind of childcare instead of his beloved tech research. His brain buzzed louder than a motherboard on overdrive. With no other choice, Cedric sabotaged Bernardâs love life and returned the little devil to his rightful throne at home.
Eleanor, hearing this, refused to believe it. In her eyes, Damian was quiet but well-behaved, a sentiment Hailey shared. But Cedric insisted the boy was a wolf in sheepâs clothing, barely able to lift his arms from exhaustion, he slumped in his chair, casting a look of betrayed exhaustion at Bernard.
The man at the head of the table simply arched an eyebrow and laid a reassuring hand on Damianâs head.
1/2 08:19 Chapter 1499 At three years old, Bernard enrolled Damian in preschool with the twins. The siblings were so terrified at the prospect of sharing a class with âThe Little Tyrantâ that they cried to switch schools.
The teachers and the principal, baffled by the commotion, couldnât fathom why these children wanted to leave. After all, Damian, in his crisp little suit and tie, his dark hair neatly combed back, looked every bit the picture of innocence with his deep, enchanting eyes that seemed to warm you like a midwinter sun.
Nevertheless, despite his cherubic silence, the teachers were convinced of his good nature and encouraged the twins to bond with their cousin, even going so far as to put them together for naptime.
This decision only heightened the siblingsâ fears. Unable to convince the adults, they huddled together under one blanket, peering out with wide eyes at Damian, who lay beside them, belly exposed, in blissful slumber Upon waking and catching their fearful gaze, Damian flashed a grin as sweet as an angel and offered them a deal, âCall me âbig broâ, and Iâll stop picking on you.â
The twins, used to being the tough cookies of their own domain, especially Elwood, were not about to take orders from anyone, let alone someone younger. âIâm older than you; you should be calling me âbig broâ!â Elwood retorted.
Damian merely snorted and bided his time. Before long, he had the whole preschool calling him âbig broâ, his entourage bowing and scraping wherever he went.
10 One day, as The twins guarded their snacks like treasure, Damian strolled in, and with a mere wave of his hand, his loyal minions swarmed, leaving the siblings snackless and in tears.
As Damian approached with a bag of goodies, he asked with a sly smile, âReady to call me âbig broâ now?â

With chubby hands cleaning their tears, Selene pouted, âIf we call you âbig broâ, will you give us our snacks back?â
With a nod, Damian handed back the treats. From that day on, not only did they change their tune, but they became his trusted lieutenants, eventually rising to his right hand by mastering the art of flattery.
