“He’s just upstairs!” replied Connor before dashing towards the staircase.
When he reached the second floor, he stood outside a private suite. He then mustered his courage and knocked on the door.
Luckily for him, the door was quickly opened. When Jackson stuck his head out and spotted the little boy outside, he blinked in astonishment. “Hey, aren’t you…”
“Hello! I’m looking for that man.” Connor glanced past him and stared at Shane, who was sitting in the suite.
Shane raised his eyebrow. “You’re looking for me?”
“Can you do me a favor?” Connor smiled earnestly.
He stood up and walked over. “What favor?”
“Can you pretend to be our Daddy? We’re playing a game, and we need one more person,” asked Connor as he stared at him eagerly.
Shane was stunned. “Your Daddy?”
He never expected this little child to ask him for such a favor.
“Yes!” Connor nodded vigorously.
Jackson whistled teasingly. “Shane, just go with him. Anyway, didn’t you suspect that…”
“Shut up!” Shane scolded him again.
Turning back to face Connor, his strict voice became gentler. “If I pretend to be your Daddy, won’t you be scared that your real Daddy will find out?”
“I don’t even know where my Daddy is,” mumbled Connor under his breath.
“What did you say?” Shane did not hear him clearly.
“Nothing! Let’s go.” Not giving him a chance to refuse, Connor dragged him down the stairs.
Looking at his excited expression, a complex look flashed across Shane’s eyes.
Normally, he would have detested it if a child acted so boldly. In fact, he would have scolded the child and told him to stop messing around.
However, for some reason, he could not seem to utter those words.
To his surprise, he did not even want to fling his hand away from Connor.
And just like that, Shane was forcefully dragged to the first floor.
