One Piece: Adopting Akainu at the beginning, adopted son Barrett

Chapter 39 I Don't Want to Disappoint My Father

"Mom, I want to do business!"

Take your courage, Nasdaq Atuo, he said solemnly to his biological mother Darren Yagoli.

With a big belly from seven months of pregnancy, Gloria looked at her ten-year-old son, the eldest son of the Nasdaq family, in some disbelief.

Looking at his determined face, as a mother, she could be sure that this was not a joke and her son was serious.

only……

"Why, Atuo? Can you tell mom the reason?"

Goli said softly. She had long sky-blue hair, a gentle and lovely appearance, and was about 1.7 meters tall. Even when she was sitting on the chair, she had the gentle temperament that only belonged to a princess.

She didn't quite understand her son's behavior.

Going into business at the age of ten? Even if Yatuo does have talent in this area, isn't it a bit too early?
Yes, she did not intend to refuse. On the one hand, he was her own son after all, and on the other hand, it was related to the family atmosphere of Nasdaq.

Compared with his younger brother Alexander, Atuo looks more like his father Ross, but his hair color is inherited from his mother's sky blue, and his eyes are black, so he can play the role of a scholar by wearing glasses.

The 1.6-meter-tall man stood in front of his mother somewhat awkwardly.

Finally, he slowly uttered:
"I just don't want to disappoint my father..."

When he looked up after he finished speaking, he found that his mother was waiting for him to continue explaining with a loving face, as if she could see through his inner struggle.

Under that gaze, Yatuo felt relaxed and slowly spoke:

"Mother, as the eldest son of the Nasdaq family, according to you and my two grandfathers, I should inherit my father's position to lead the family, but I really have no idea about that kind of thing!"

As he spoke, he slowly took out two objects from his pocket, a gold-cast Bailey and a golden clock.

As a mother, Goli recognized their origins at a glance. They were given to little Yatuo by her and her husband Ross when they were traveling on the mysterious sky island.

"You know, I've loved shiny things since I was a kid, whether they're gems or gold. I'll feel happy just by touching them!"

Of course, this is only part of the reason. The deeper reason is that they were all given to him by his parents, but he is also happy. These shiny things have attracted him since he was a child!
After saying this, Yatuo looked at his mother a little nervously, hoping that she would agree with his statement.

But it was obvious that Goli didn't buy it. Instead, she slowly stood up and walked to Yatuo, stretched out her hands and gently hugged him in her arms, then slowly spoke, blaming him:

"It's because of your dad, right? Sorry, Yatuo, I know you are sensible and you want to share the worries of your bastard dad who is busy all day and can't find time to accompany you, so that he can look up and look at you again.

I know what you are worried about, but you shouldn't hide it from your own mother. I will always support my dear son."

She blamed Ross a little. It was fine before. When there were not many people on Yun Island, she had the housekeeper sent by her father and she could have some free time to spend with her and the children.

But as the number of people on the island increased, there were more things to worry about, and there were only a few days of free time each month.

With the birth of his fourth child, Ross even spent less time with his most favored daughter Mona, leaving her to the two elderly people in the family.

Every week, I would constantly train my second son, Alexander, through spot checks and care.

As for the eldest son Yatuo who has been studying economics... I rarely see him a few times a week!
Communication between father and son is the most important thing! Otherwise, both parties will unconsciously think about it.

This is the case with Yatuo. He not only worries that his father will be disappointed because he is only good at studying, but also hopes that he can be proud of his achievements!
Every morning when Goli woke Yatuo up, she could see those two objects lying quietly at the head of the bed, accompanying Yatuo all the time.

This is what he wanted, but Ross, as a father, was a little negligent.

"Mom..." Yatuo lay in his mother's arms, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably, his throat choked with sobs.

He obviously didn't want to cry, but his mother's gentle words pierced his heart, causing his already sentimental heart to collapse instantly, and he couldn't stop crying!
"Okay, okay, Yatuo, mom will always support you. I will discuss this matter with your father tonight..."

"do not want!"

Before Goli could finish her words, Yatuo refused stubbornly.

He seemed to realize that his words were a little emotional, and he quickly broke free from the embrace, wiped his tears, and said in a choked voice:
"I'm sorry, mother, but I don't want to let father know about this yet. I'm a little worried that he will think I'm not doing my job properly. Please, can you tell him about this after I succeed?"

"I just... I just... just..."

Yatuo was a little incoherent, his confused mind unable to think of any words, and he could only look at his mother anxiously.

All he was greeted with was a soothing hand on his head, which calmed his emotions and made him stand there sobbing quietly.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, Mom won't tell your bastard father. I fully support you in this matter!"

Goli said with a smile, but her smile was a little forced. She felt sad and upset for her sensible son.

Obviously, she should have discovered this earlier and told her husband Ross.

As Ross's first wife, she had been with him longer and knew him well.

If the other party knew about this, he would definitely take time to talk with Yatuo and inadvertently spend more time with him until Yatuo can be completely independent.

But there is no if in everything. Things have come to this point, so as a mother, all Gloria can do is to support him and then quietly tell Ross not to interfere in this matter.

Yatuo already has some preliminary self-esteem and knows that only his own efforts can earn him more attention. This is the price of being sensible, even if he will subconsciously hide something from his mother.

As a parent, this is actually not the right thing to do.

"By the way, since you want to do business, are you interested in sharing your ideas and plans with mom?"

Goli changed the subject and wanted to correct her son before he made a mistake. After all, business is not a joke.

However, she discovered that her son was extremely smart in business!
"Yes! I've already prepared it. This is my first version of the plan. Let me tell you about it!"

As he spoke, Yatuo took out a notebook from his pocket, opened it, and began to talk nonstop:

"I have already contacted Brother Sakaski in advance, and have learned about several brothers who are currently carrying out missions in the North Sea and the South Sea, and have also contacted them..."

He actually used military-business collusion!
