A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 1159

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1159

Hendrick found the seemingly dejected Jason pitiable and started consoling him because he was around Hannah’s age.

Grasping Hendrick’s hands, Jason went all out and wailed, “My father has been neglecting me because he only cares about his business! I had been taking care of myself ever since I was young! Although I’m from a relatively wealthy family, my father doesn’t care about me at all! I-I…”

“Y-You…” Hendrick was at a loss for better words to comfort the pitiable Jason.

“Your daughter is so lucky to have a doting father like you! P-Perhaps I have been cursed with such a cruel father! Boohoo…” Jason continued weeping as though he was overwhelmed by the built-up emotions over the years.

Hendrick started sympathizing with Jason’s predicament. He held the young man’s hand and denoted, “Don’t you think your father has been working hard because of you?”

Jason secretly heaved a sigh of relief because Hendrick seemed to have opened up to him. He deadpanned his reply. “Hmph! I don’t need those superficial things from him!”

Immediately after he finished his sentence, he asked, “Why don’t you take me in as your godson? I’d love to spend some time with a doting father like you!”

Hendrick was certain the young man was an heir to a wealthy family because of the lavish clothes he was wearing. As someone who could merely sustain his day-to-day lifestyle, he was worried the young man’s parents might misperceive his intention. Thus, he turned him down. “I don’t think that’s appropriate.”

Actually, Hendrick found Jason pitiable and would take him in if he were an orphan. Nonetheless, the young man was the complete opposite of a pitiable orphan.

On the other hand, Jason had no intention to give up just yet. As Hendrick turned him down, he started wailing hysterically, “Boohoo… Since no one cares about me, I guess it’s fine to leave this world behind. My last attempt to commit suicide through drowning myself has failed, I guess I’ll jump off the building this time!”

In a final attempt to win Hendrick over, Jason coated his words with sorrow along with a pair of drooping eyes. “I guess I can finally rest in peace after learning the true definition of love. I’ll see you again, mister. If it’s possible, I hope I’ll get to be your son in my next life!”
