…When Xin stepped out of the room, his heart was beating so fast. He lifted his hand and touched his chest. He then took a deep breath, and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips again.He turned to look at the closed door behind him before slowly walking downstairs.He knocked on Little Lion's door a few times, but the child did not open it. Left with no choice, he looked for the spare key and opened the door.And the sight that befell him made his heart ache. On the bed, Little Lion was seated. His face was covered in tears, and his shoulders were shaking.Xin slowly sat on the bed beside the child, but Little Lion turned to face the other side. He still did not believe that both his mom and Xin had lied to him.While everyone was laughing at him at school for being fatherless, he had the most powerful dad in the country. It hurt him.“I didn't know that you were my son until today, when I came to look for you at the park,” Xin quietly explained. He understood what the child wa
…Abby fell asleep while crying. However, a knock at the door woke her up. She creased her brows in irritation. Who would be disturbing her sleep at such a time?But when there was another knock, she sat up and looked at the clock. It was only ten o'clock in the evening. Huh! Her eyes widened. How did she fall asleep that early?She stretched a bit before going to open the door. And the person before her made her blink her eyes. “Chris?“ She called in confusion.Chris immediately pulled her into his arms. “I was about to break down your door if you didn't open it,” he said. He had missed her so much.Tears immediately welled in Abby's eyes. “I thought you would never come back,” she said. She was scared that maybe she would never see him again.Chris pinched her cheeks and pulled her into the house. “Never come back? Are you crazy? I will die if I don't come back to you,” he said, pressing his lips against her.How could he voluntarily choose to stay away from someone as sweet as Abby
“You are not putting on your slippers, darling. You might catch a cold,” he said so close to my ears that I shivered.His warm breath caressed my skin, and goosebumps formed all over. My heart also began beating so fast.He put me back on the bed and put a pair of slippers on the floor. “Put them on when you want to run around,” he said.I sighed and looked away from him. I didn't know what he was trying to play at. The last thing I remembered was that he was so mad at me that he couldn't even talk to me. Why was he so sweet all of a sudden?He walked into the bathroom and came out a few minutes later. “Your bath is ready. I will send some fresh clothes over. Once you are done, come down for breakfast,” he said calmly.And I almost laughed. “Xin?“ I called in confusion. “What the hell are you trying to do? I didn't move into your house.“Xin looked at me briefly before shrugging his shoulders. “I didn't say you moved in, sweetheart. I just thought that you wouldn't have enough time to
Goosebumps formed all over my skin when he asked me that. My lips moved for a while, but I just did not know what to say.“Honey, do you have any? Why aren't you saying anything?“ He asked again, moving closer to me.And all I could do was shake my head at him. “You won't do this to me, Xin. Why are you always so heartless?“ I asked.When I signed the divorce papers five years ago, I did not ever think about having a copy for myself. I had left it at his house without even taking a picture of it.I was so naive at that time that I didn't even have a lawyer for myself. How could I be that stupid? I didn't have any proof that we were divorced.“Do what, darling? I'm not hurting you. I just want to give you the life that you deserve, okay?“ He asked and leaned closer to me.I shook my head at him. “I don't want that life. My son and I have been doing just fine. Why don't you leave us alone?“ I asked. That was what I wanted. I didn't want any more connection with him.But his expression t
And when he got out of the car, he opened my door and forced me out. He tightly held my hand in his and began walking away.“Xin, what are you doing?“ I asked in confusion. What had gotten over him? Did he want us to walk like that to the office?Xin only shrugged his shoulders. "I am going to the office with my wife. Is something wrong with that?“ He asked. His calmness shocked me more.“But everyone will look at us,” I tried to say to him. How would we explain things to everyone if they saw us like that?“I don't care what anyone says, darling. Let us go to work,” he said, pulling away.I could see the look of shock on some of the guards that were around. It felt so awkward. All I could do was look at the floor as he pulled me to his private lift.Since I wasn't looking at him, I ended up bumping into his chest. “Ouch!“ I winced in pain and rubbed my chest.Xin hurriedly looked at me. “Are you okay?“ He asked, and his hand went to my chest. I didn't know what he was just about to do
Little Lion swallowed hard. What the boy said would have been true if it had just been a few days ago. But at the moment, Xin was actually his dad.“President Xin of XY Limited is my daddy,” he said, his expression so cold. In his previous school, his classmates had made fun of him so many times because he did not have a father.Now that he had Xin, he wasn't going to let the same thing repeat. Xin was his father, right?The other students began chuckling. “Who do you think that man is? You should just be lucky to have met him,” one of them said.“My dad watches him every day. He says that he never goes close to any woman. He cannot be your father,” another one said.Boyo, the boy who had spoken first, laughed. “Little Lion, since you joined this school, you have been acting so mighty. Just tell everyone the truth. President Xin is not your father,” he said.He was always the most admired boy in their class before Little Lion came. Now, all the girls were trying to hook up with Little
I rushed after Xin. So many things were going through my head. That was the first time I had heard that something had happened to Little Lion while at school.“What happened to him?“ I asked worriedly as I took the passenger seat. I wanted to reach the school as fast as I could.Xin looked at me. "Relax. They didn't say he was in the hospital. He is still in school,” he said.I relaxed a little. If something serious had happened to him, he would have been admitted to the hospital. But a second later, I got more curious. “Did they tell you what happened?“ I asked.I still did not understand why Xin had been called instead of me. I was the parent who had raised him for all this time.“He got into a fight,” Xin said calmly.And my heart leapt. “A fight?“ I asked in shock. “Little Lion never picks up fights with anyone.“Did Little Lion really fight anyone? Wait! What if he was hurt? I didn't want anything to happen to my baby.“Relax, honey. Little Lion is fine. We will get the details w
Little Lion walked towards the girl and held her hand. I was once again taken aback. Little Lion had never been close to any girls before.“Mommy, Daddy, meet Kiki. She is my friend,” Little Lion said with a blush. And I could not help but chuckle. He looked cute.“Hello Kiki! I'm glad to meet you,” I said, bent down to look at the girl. She was beautiful, too. Little Lion really had good eyes.And also, Xin, whom I had never seen with other kids before, walked closer. “Kiki, it's nice to meet you,” he said.Kiki nodded with a blush. “You have a nice family,” she said, almost in a whisper. But we all heard him. I looked at Xin, and he seemed to have thought of something.“Um, let me guess. Did she try to defend you when they wanted to bully you?“ He asked, looking at Little Lion.And Little Lion blushed again. "Boys, should he be protecting girls, right? I will protect her from today,” he said. He wouldn't just accept that he was weak, and a girl stood up for him.We chuckled, but Xin
