Love in Prime Years novel Chapter 37

"Hello, Leigh!" Arthur smiled, "I want to be your mother's boyfriend, and in the future, I would be your father!"

"Daddy ..." Leigh gently murmured this name and fell into deep thought, and the light in his eyes disappeared gradually.

Arthur thought Leigh disliked him, so he became nervous, "Leigh, don’t you like me? Do you think I'm too bald? I really like Amelia, and I hope you can support me and Amelia to be together."

Leigh knew Arthur had misunderstood him, so he hurriedly explained, "I like you very much, if you can be my father, I would be very happy."

Depressing all the loss in his heart, Leigh smiled, and he could feel that the uncle in front of him was a good person. Although he wanted his biological father to like him and his mother, his father treated his mother too bad, and he didn't want to ask for more.

Moreover, he might not be able to stay with his mom for long. If he died, he wanted someone who could take good care of his mom in the world, and then he could feel at ease.

"Really?" Arthur looked surprised. Seeing Leigh nodded, he stammered with excitement, "Well ... well ... well, Leigh, you call me dad from now on! I think I have a destiny with you, the first time I see you, I think you are my son!"

Of course, Amelia didn't want Leigh to call Arthur's Daddy. When she just wanted to say something, Leigh had already said, "Dad!"

Amelia felt today's misunderstanding was too much. She had to explain, "Leigh, Arthur is just a friend of mine, and you should call him Uncle in the future!"

"Amelia, it's not right for you to say that. Leigh likes me and is willing to call me Dad, and you cannot force him to change his words! Children also have their own opinions. You should respect Leigh."

Amelia was stunned. Why did she feel that Arthur's preposterous argument seemed to be quite reasonable?

Leigh knew it would be difficult for Amelia to fall in love with Arthur, so he decided to help Arthur.

Although it was the first time he and Arthur met, Leigh liked him from the bottom of his heart. And Leigh felt Arthur was much better than that man who bullied his mother. It was good if Arthur could be his father.

"Mommy, I like him, I want to call him daddy." Leigh winked pitifully at Amelia, who instantly swallowed back the words that had reached her mouth.

In Amelia's life, what she couldn’t refuse was Leigh's request. Even if she didn’t like Leigh to call Arthur Dad, she couldn’t blame Leigh at this time.

"Amelia, did you hear that? Leigh likes me, he wants to call me daddy!" Arthur smiled and was very cocky.

"Mom, will you let me call him Daddy? I really want dad ..."

Amelia was speechless. Well, in the face of their offensive turns, what could she say or do besides compromise?

Seeing Amelia no longer protesting, Arthur was too happy. He sat on the edge of the bed and gently grasped Leigh's hand, “Don't worry, Leigh, I will take good care of you and your mother in the future, and wouldn’t let you suffer any grievance."

Leigh didn’t answer but said to Amelia, "Mom, I'm hungry, and I want to eat the braised pork in the canteen."

"Arthur, please take care of Leigh, I'll go to the canteen to get some food, and be back soon." After that, Amelia took the card and quickly walked towards the canteen.

Leigh deliberately put Amelia off because he wanted to say something to Arthur.
