Chasing After My Beloved Wife novel Chapter 24

Feeling Shawn's hesitation, Vivian raised her head with tears in her eyes. If anyone saw her pale face, they would feel pity for her.

"It doesn’t matter whether you can accept me or not, but Dalton is innocent. His only wish is to have his father. Shawn, don't you pity our child?"

The humble pleading made Shawn swallow hard. He couldn't help but think of Dalton's pitiful look when hugging him tightly. His heart softened once again. "I promise you. I will try my best to make it up to Dalton."

"As long as Dalton is happy, I will be satisfied. Thank you."

Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Vivian let go of his waist. Seeing that she was back to her gentle self, he withdrew his frown and eased up. "I'll go back with you to accompany Dalton."

"Thank you, he will be very happy to see you."

When the car started again, Vivian turned to look out of the window with a faint smile on her face.

Shawn had never changed in the past few years. No matter how powerful the threat he faced, he would never take it seriously. But he was weak to gentleness.

She vowed to slowly make him come back to her!

The Rolls-Royce stopped at the gate of the villa. Vivian took out an exquisite toy from her bag and stuffed it into Shawn's hand. "Last time when I was shopping with Dalton, he fell in love with this. If you tell him that you bought it for him, he will be happy for sure."

Shawn lowered his head to look at the magic dinosaur egg in his hand. His gaze was even more complicated and he also felt guilty.

She withdrew her gaze and pushed the door open with a smile. Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, the tiny figure inside rushed towards her and shouted merrily, "Mom! Mom!"

"Dalton, look who's here."

Vivian smiled and put him down. She turned her body to reveal Shawn, who was following behind her. Dalton's eyes were shining with excitement and a trace of caution. "Dad, I thought you didn't want me anymore."

Shawn's entire body trembled. He couldn't find any words to describe his current mood. He could only take a step forward and squat down until he was Dalton's height. His gaze softened, and even his voice had become unprecedentedly gentle.

"How could I not want you?"

He only found out that he had a son with Vivian when he met Dalton the night before. It turned out that Vivian had gotten pregnant when they separated from each other. Dalton was already three years old.

"I'm afraid that you would disappear by dawn like the people in the books."

Dalton whispered as he tugged on Shawn's sleeve and pleaded, "I don't want to have no father."

Shawn's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't know how to face Dalton's innocent yet pitiful eyes. Vivian patted Dalton's head and tried to comfort him with a gentle voice.

"Be good, Dalton. Your dad is not someone in those books. He will not leave you."

"Really? Dad, will you always be by my side?" Dalton asked again.

Shawn was stunned for a moment before nodding his head. "Yes, I will always be by your side."

"Yay! Dad will not disappear."

Having received a positive answer, Dalton immediately jumped up happily. His joyful and satisfied expression made Shawn's heart melt. He opened his palm and revealed the toy he had been holding. "I have a gift for you. Do you like it?"

"Yes, I like everything you give me."
