My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 263

Nan Chen nodded, acknowledging his grandpa’s kind understanding regarding this matter.

“Thanks, grandpa,” Nan Chen said as he looked towards the floor.

“I’m only agreeing to this because of you. Otherwise, I would never have entertained the possibility of letting them return,” the elderly man said.

Nan Chen thanked his grandpa again.

“Ok, ok. That’s enough. You shouldn’t worry too much as well. It’s all predestined that we each have our own hour,” the elderly man tried to comfort his grandson.

“Yup. Have an early rest, grandpa.”

Nan Chen could finally let out a sigh of relief after leaving his grandpa’s study.

Now that he had gotten his grandpa’s approval, the next thing to do was to verify the legitimacy of his mom’s illness. After getting confirmation, his parents would be able to return to the country.

However, Nan Chen was having conflicted emotions. If his mom had really faked her cancer, the couple would not be able to return.

As such, even though he hoped his mother was still healthy, he also hoped that his parents would be able to return to the country.

As Nan Chen pondered over the possible scenarios, he had subconsciously walked to his kids’ rooms.

The lights were already switched off and the children were in bed.

After hesitating a few seconds, Nan Chen ended up going into Erbao’s room.

The gentle light coming from the kiddish bedside lamp cast a warm glow on the little girl’s sleeping face.

Erbao fidgeted a lot in her sleep, and one of her chubby legs was sticking out of her blanket.

Nan Chen gently pushed her leg back under the blanket and made sure the little girl was properly covered, before turning off the bedside lamp.

After that, he went into Dabao’s room. The boy was more well-behaved in his sleep and had switched off his bedside lamp.

However, he was a light sleeper and woke up the moment Nan Chen entered his room.

Nan Chen felt bad that he had disturbed the boy in his sleep. He would not have come in if he had known it would wake his son up.

“Third Uncle, you’re back?” Dabao sounded happy to see the man.

“Sorry, I shouldn’t have come in and roused you from your sleep.”

“No worries, Third Uncle. I’ve already slept enough. It wouldn’t affect me.” Dabao suddenly sat up.

“Sleep more, don’t get up,” Nan Chen said, still feeling bad.

“Third Uncle, do you have something to tell me?” Dabao surprised Nan Chen with the question.

How did the boy know? Nan Chen was stunned.

“Nope, nothing. Why did you ask?” Nan Chen was curious.

“It’s just that you feel different these few days as compared to last time. So, I thought you had something to say,” Dabao replied with a smile.

“If that’s not the case, I shall go back to sleep first then. Good night, uncle,” the boy added.

Nan Chen pulled up the blanket for Dabao while asking, “In what way do I feel different?”

Dabao gave it a thought before shaking his head. “I don’t know how to explain it… It just feels different.”

“Actually, something has indeed changed. I wanted to talk to you about it but I’m worried it’ll scare you,” Nan Chen said, testing the waters.

“What exactly are you trying to say, Third Uncle? Just be direct with me, it’s alright!” Dabao tilted his head and looked at Nan Chen.

“I… have something important to tell you, that is… “

Nan Chen was being coy about it, which was definitely unheard of.

“Third Uncle, be brave! I’m listening,” Dabao cheered the man on.

“I’m actually not your uncle, but your Daddy.”

Nan Chen could feel his heart going into overdrive after he said that, as he waited anxiously for Dabao’s reaction.

He was worried that the boy would be taken aback by this revelation and not be able to accept this new reality.

Dabao kept quiet for a while after hearing what Nan Chen said.

It was the first time Nan Chen had felt so stressed due to someone else’s silence.

He was usually the one who used silence to pressurize others. However, he was now experiencing first-hand how it felt to be on the receiving end.

“Do you not like it… “ Nan Chen asked, feeling unsettled.

“Hehe,” the boy suddenly chuckled.

Even though Dabao was still a child, he did not usually laugh or smile often like other kids. It was a rare sight for the boy to be laughing, even more so when it was already so late at night.

Nan Chen let out a gasp when the boy finished talking. Why is he speaking like an adult? The boy was too mature; it did not seem suitable for someone his age to be acting that way.

Was this how I was like when I was a child too?
