Doted On By The Mafia Boss novel Chapter 39

The two were called down for dinner; during the whole course of dinner Catherine kept on chattering about her wild fantasies.

'Ryan, does unicorn exists?'

'Ryan, do you think... I am a little mermaid! Did I too lose my memory and came to land?.

'Ryan, do wonderland really exist? Can you take me there?'

The Young Master was extremely patient with the kid, he went on nodding and giving out the reply that she was looking forward to. If believing that unicorns existed gave her happiness, he may as well start believing that those mythical one-horned creatures were real. If she thinks that she was the little mermaid of the ocean, he would start believing that he was the Prince she left the ocean for.

After the two washed their hands Ryan looked at the time and asked, "Why isn't Mr Silva here yet?" The housekeeper, who was currently cleaning the table, replied, "Something urgent happened in an International branch, I don't know much about it but Mr Silva said that it was important and thus, he left early in the morning. He said he won't be back for a week or two."

"A week?" Ryan exclaimed, it was a long period for him to leave his 5-year-old daughter alone at home. He didn't stay back to ask anything anymore but quietly took the girl upstairs. While taking her to the room he asked her, "Were you scared last night because your dad left for a week?"

"He left for a week again?" The girl asked surprised. Ryan had no idea if he was supposed to laugh or cry; this girl wasn't even aware that her only family had left for a business trip not to be returned any sooner. Her expressions were calm and relaxed, it seemed that Mr Silva was barely a family man or cared about his daughter.

Ryan breathed out, "Huh, never mind." Post dinner the duo nestled on the bed and watched an animated movie; Ryan was not too much interested in watching it but it was her who asked him to accompany her. During the whole movie, the girl had her eye fixated on the screen, laughing and clapping her hands every now and then. Every time she giggled Ryan's lips used to mysteriously curve up into a hearty smile.

Ryan had some of his personal pieces of stuff and a set of pyjamas delivered for the night stay. When the girl rushed off to take a shower Ryan strayed out of the room lest he disturbs her privacy. Walking around he found a lonely balcony with a decent internet connection. He settled there and as soon as he got the service several messages popped up, all being from Jack.

Ryan casually opened his chat to kill his time by texting his friend.

"What's up? Having a good time with your lady." Jack teased. Jack seemed to be in a really good mood as he went all the way teasing but his enthusiasm must have been brutally killed when Ryan replied with a short 'mmm'.

As expected, Jack's faced skulked; he was long used to the way he spoke. Being a soul who treasured his words as gold he was a miser when it came to expression but this topic must have interested him yet he was mum.

Jack typed out, "You gonna sleep in her room tonight?"

"Yep."

Finally something juicy; Jack sent nothing but a smirking emoji. Not understanding what he was smirking for Ryan graced him with a question mark. Jack replied, "It's your chance!"

"Chance?"

"You are a ten-year-old already, do I need to explain what I am saying?"

Ryan understood what he was indicating; even though the two boys were not too much into it and have never seen single pornography but they had little knowledge of where babies came from. Jack, of course, was not talking about making a baby but his meanings were clear. Ryan replied, "What about that?"
