Michael glanced at the phone and came across the said picture. He then listened to the voice message that Stanley sent to Sophia while perusing through their previous chat history.
Stanley is not holding back and doing everything that he can to drive a wedge between us!
After listening to the voice messages, Michael sighed quietly. “Silly fellow.”
It has been such a long time since I slapped him. Looks like he needs a beating.
Nathan mulled over what he said before reaching out with his little finger. “Pinky swear!”
Michael burst out in laughter. The young kid has learned about the pinky swear! I thought that he wouldn’t know what a pinky swear is since he’s such an arrogant kid!
In the past, Nate used to be extremely cold and distant. He refused to play with his peers or with children toys. He did not look like a child at all. Initially, I wanted him to attend kindergarten because he has peers there and would have friends to play with. However, Nate was adamant on enrolling in university and even commented that kids are too childish.
Who will have expected him to behave like a child now?
Michael promised Nathan with a pinky swear. “Cross your heart and hope to die. The person who finds Nate a stepmother is an idiot!”
Satisfied, he went upstairs to sleep after that.
Michael then returned to his room in exhaustion, but Nathan took the initiative and suggested, “You should carry your wife back to your room. From now on, I will sleep alone.”
He had a toothbrush in his mouth when he entered Nathan’s room to carry Sophia to his room. She was fast asleep, so she wasn’t even aware that someone had taken her out.
Michael continued to brush his teeth while staring at her as she was sound asleep.
She is such a cutie! The longer I’m with her, the more adorable she looks! She is the cutest in the universe!
It was already 2AM by the time he was done with his shower and he needed to wake up early the next morning. He had the urge to make a move on her, but he refrained from doing so. We still have plenty of time ahead of us. She is still young, so maybe I should wait till she’s older.
I am not having a Lolita complex.
Sophia seemed to have dreamed that Michael came home, but she didn’t see him when she woke up the next day. He wasn’t even beside her in bed, but Nathan had promised her repeatedly. “Daddy returned home last night and definitely did not spend the night outdoors. He did not cheat on you!”
He was extremely sincere when he said that, but he was afraid that she wouldn’t believe him. “You can check the surveillance footage if you don’t believe me.”
She was done with brushing her teeth and after rinsing her mouth, she answered, “Fine, I believe you.”
Michael did return home last night, I suppose…
They had to attend classes today, so Hale drove them to the university. Sophia made sure that Gary led Nathan into the School of Computer Science’s building before making her way to her classroom.
Stanley took the gap between two major classes to smoke in the washroom in secret. Ever since his goddess became a ‘female judge’, he had been trying his best to disrupt the harmony in Michael’s family, causing his smoking addiction to worsen.
Somehow, at some point, there were lesser people in the toilet. By the time he emerged from his hiding place, there was no one else around. Hale and Gary, who both towered over him, flanked Nathan as them three blocked the entrance to the restroom.
Noticing that Stanley was poking his head out, Nathan instructed, “Beat him!”
Upon facing Hale and Gary, Stanley was quite frightened and stumbled backward. “What are you two doing? Don’t come any closer. I am Uncle Michael’s nephew! I’m his biological nephew! I am the apple of my uncle’s eye!”
