Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 580

With his eyes glued to the little boy, William stopped dead in his tracks and completely forgot to get inside the car.

That being said, it shouldn't come as a surprise that William would be so dumbfounded. After all, it was the first time he had ever seen his son with his very own eyes.

"Are you actually my dad, uncle?"

Cody repeated his question one more time, his eyes filled with anticipation for William's response.

"Mom keeps on telling me that I don't have a dad, but... I don't believe it at all. Every single child should have their own daddy. Sally has her dad who's always showering her with so much love and affection. So, why should it just be me... and me alone who doesn't have my own dad? I really find that hard to believe..."

Back when he was still in kindergarten, coming across a number of fathers gathering around the school's entrance to pick up their sons and daughters was a common occurrence. On the other hand, Cody had always been picked up by either his mommy or aunt, and never by a tall man like those fathers of his other schoolmates. And because he was able to witness that every single day, he unconsciously realized that every other child had a daddy, everyone other than him.

In truth, he had always been longing for the day when an adult man would appear at the gate of his kindergarten, and tell him in a gentle voice, "Cody, I'm your dad. I came here to pick you up so I could drive you home. Sorry I was late..."

Cody's words felt so sharp that it felt as though William's chest had just gotten struck by an icy sword, freezing the softest spot in his heart. The guilt he was feeling was killing him deep inside.

"Cody, to be honest... I am..."

"William Qi! What the heck do you think you're doing?! Where were you planning to take my son to?"

Violet managed to shake off the waiter who was trying to stop her and rushed to get out of the hotel. As soon as she got out, she frantically grabbed onto William's clothes and burst into tears in an instant, so scared to death that her son might get taken away from her.

"You gave me your word that you'd never take my son away from me. But what are you trying to do right now? You shouldn't break your promise!" —

Seeing that Violet was almost at her wit's end, William tried to calm her down by grabbing her hand which was grasping onto his clothes and telling her, "Calm yourself down, Violet. I don't intend to take your son away from you. I just want to give you and your son a better place to stay in. Trust me. That's all I want to do."

Due to an excessive amount of stress, Violet was short of breath. Her blood ran cold as she looked at him and asked, "Is that all there is to it? Really?" From the look in her eyes, it seemed that she was still having a hard time believing him.

All she had left was her precious son. If she were to lose him as well, she didn't know if she would still be able to go on living.

"I swear. That's all there is to it. Can you please just trust me one more time, Violet?"

Then, William wrapped his arms around her and told her, with a tear in his voice, "Right now, I'm not asking for anything. I just truly want you and our son to have a better life. That is my only wish."

Still buried in his arms, Violet finally eased up, closing her eyes to bask in the long-lost warmth of this man's arms once again.

At that moment, some old memories came gushing into her head. That was a time where the powerful obsession she had for him took control of her life.
