Sitting in the room for a while, youyou eventually looked up at his mother and pouted. “Mommy, I’m hungry. My tummy is growling.” He rubbed his little tummy and blinked piteously at her with his sparkling, doe eyes.Gently, she quickly asked, “What does Youyou want to eat? I will buy it for you from the supermart!”A number of 24-hour convenience stores and cake shops could be found around the hospital and just across the street. Getting food was very convenient.“It’s late now, though; I’m worried!” His eyes lit up suddenly. Clapping his palms together in an asking-for-favor form, he requested to Mr.Hanlin, “Principal, if it’s alright with you, please accompany my mother!”The agent easily got the hint and nodded. Yuna was rather embarrassed and tried to reject, “Thank you, but it’s not necessary! It’s late. Principal should be home by now, right?”“It’s not late yet. I can accompany you to buy food, send you up, and then head home. There’s no trouble at all! I like Youyou and treat
A/N: hope you all enjoyed the holidays. I know I sure enjoyed my break. ——————————“I was also unaware about you.”Youyou continued in a heavy tone, “When I first saw you on a magazine, I honestly was agitated; I felt aggrieved, and full of resentment.”He paused and, lifting his face that had a forlornly scornful look, continued, “I was agitated to see my biological father. An outstanding man—but, where were you in the past six years? I regret to inform you that I won’t hand my mommy over to you!”Weston’s brows became knotted in deep agony.His heart was constricted almost to the point of suffocation with the little lad’s accusation.It was pain. His heart was hurting so badly it was, in fact, like being crushed under a huge rock, and he could barely breathe.Initially, Weston was more amazed than surprised with this son of his whose intelligence was above average.His children might be twins, but Youyou was very unlike his brother. Youyou was more mature and sturdier, and this matu
Youyou said in an unfriendly manner, “How will you care for her? Don’t you still have a fiancée? My mommy is a treasure to me. If you want to care for her, you should be legitimate! Are you taking marriage lightly?”He completely understood the concept of legitimacy despite his young age.“You’re not thinking that my mommy is a woman you can play with as you please, are you?” He folded his arms arrogantly, his eyes distant. “With me around, don’t even think of bullying my mommy. Try it if you dare!”He warned menacingly. One should not doubt his intention of not letting off lightly those who dared bully his mommy.The conversation between the father and son resembled a negotiation. They were already in a state of war.Weston stated flatly, “I don’t deny your capabilities for one bit when you said that you will protect your mommy, but when you grow up and have your own wife and kid, your mommy will be left alone again – has this ever crossed your mind? Can you bear to let this happen?”
Youyou repeated his message again. It was only when the man nodded one more time that, with a pout, he gingerly drew a step closer.One step and then another. This went on until his father’s elegant, athletic arms reached across his armpits and powerfully embraced him.The little lad’s face flushed scalding red in that instance.Weston easily propped up the little boy’s buttocks with his left arm.The child was too skinny.He wondered if the child had a rare case of malabsorption or was suffering from nutritional imbalance. Possibly, that stupid woman did not nourish him adequately.Children his age are still developing and should eat more.In this regard, the mother and son are alike. Both are too thin.Little did Weston know that the boy had always been sickly and physically weak since birth, and his body could not take in all the nutrients from the abundant nutritious food his mother was feeding him.The little lad was as light as a fluffy rice ball in his arms. Weston lowered his
As soon as she said this, footsteps were heard from beyond the door. They ceased right outside the hospital ward.Knock, knock, knock.There was a series of knocks on the door.Yuna knitted her brows and walked toward the door to open it. Chang stood outside with a weathered and sullen face.For some reason, he seemed to have aged a lot within a night.Shocked, she looked past his shoulders but did not catch the presence of Lisa or another.He noticed her guardedness and immediately said, “There’s no one else; I came alone.”“Dad…” She looked up at him with mixed feelings. She opened her mouth to speak several times, but even after a while, she was still unable to voice out anything.Hopelessness, heartache, regret, decisiveness – these feelings were written all over her face, and they did not escape his eyes.He owed this child of his too much. He came to explain everything clearly this time.“Please, let me take a look at Youyou. I also need talk to you about something.”Her lips cu
Her father spoke with a heavy voice, “Things may be in the past, but I’m unable to forgive or forget!”He drew a handkerchief from his chest pocket and revealed a bank card neatly wrapped within. Looking at her, he said, “There’s about 5,000,000 inside.”“Five million…”“Mm,” he affirmed, continuing, “It’s the additional remuneration the employer promised you in the past.”This was from the five-million check Weston’s assistant had given him. He used none of it and deposited everything into this bank card.Thereafter, he also deposited his salary from work into this bank card regularly. Although it was nothing much, it was a token of his regard.He saved this money to prepare for her dowry when she married off in the future.He was already getting on in age. He was not very capable and not as enthusiastic as his younger self. Excluding daily expenses, he scrimped and lived off his salary. He had not touched a penny in the card in these past few years.He had always kept this card secu
Cheng accepted his daughter’s explanation when she introduced the man as a professor from the university, but he was not a naïve three-year-old kid.He knew that Shishi had intentionally hidden the truth from him!Although he had no clue who the man was, he could largely deduce his identity when he realized how much Youyou resembled him!The man must be that mysterious employer from six years ago!He just did not want to embarrass his daughter, so he did not pursue the matter further.He accompanied his grandson as the nurses wheeled his bed up to a special care unit on the 15th floor. He reminded his daughter to go home and catch some rest first before returning to the hospital to take over his shift.She thought for a while before nodding in agreement; she would need to go back to pack some clothes for Youyou, anyway.At the elevator entrance, she told the man, “Weston, it’s late; you should go home.”A thin veil of rage covered his face, and he asked with a raised eyebrow, “Are you
Weston was lounging languidly in the back seat with his legs crossed and eyes staring vacantly ahead. He did not even glance her way when she appeared; his perfectly chiseled profile looked restrained and aloof. His lips were pressed firmly into a cold line and his eyes were only partially open in a lazy manner.He seemed like a haughty emperor most of the time. His presence was one that others could not help but submit to.She was rather upset with him.Why is this man so whimsical? Why does he do what he wants regardless of occasion?“What are you thinking all day in your head?!”She unconsciously blurted out her thoughts.She caught herself too late and could only bite her lower lip in consternation.Weston glanced at her and smiled teasingly. “Can you guess what I’m thinking about?”Guess?How could she guess?She bit her lip in resignation and just got into the car.After the car door went shut, She stared straight ahead and stayed close to the car door and far from him as much
