Thinking that he would not be such a jerk in front of their son, Hedy walked over.
As soon as she sat down, Victor’s cold fingers penetrated into her long hair. His finger pulps gently rubbed her scalp, making Hedy feel like she had been electrified.
He was good at this. She felt comfortable letting him dry her hair.
Hedy wished there was a big mirror in front of her. She wanted to see how the scene that he gently shuttled her long hair with his fingers looked like.
“So enjoy?”
Victor’s low and playful voice suddenly came close to Hedy’s ear.
Hedy was startled, and her wandering thoughts were immediately pulled back. Nervously, she reached out and touched her hair, which was completely dry, touched fluffy and good.
“You are indeed good at this.”
She gave thanks calmly, then got up and went to bed.
The little boy had already laid in the middle of the bed. Seeing Hedy got in bed, he asked: “Mommy, why not you sleep in the middle... Mhm...”
Getting what this kid was going to say, Hedy immediately put her hand over his mouth, and then nervously looked up at Victor.
Fortunately, Victor had left the room.
Hedy released her hand and whispered to her son: “Don’t talk nonsense.”
“Mommy, thank you for allowing me to stay here. I love you.” The little boy suddenly reached out to hold Hedy and sincerely expressed his inner feelings to her.
At first, Hedy was messed up in her head after what she had been through lately, but she was now moved by her son’s sincere thanks. She couldn’t help thinking that her son was so young and all he wanted was just being together with his own parents. She thought of what Victor said yesterday and started considering it as a good idea.
After all, there was nothing more important than her son growing up happily.
She closed her eyes, put her arms around the little boy, and patted him to sleep.
She soon heard Victor entered the room and felt that he got in bed.
In case he pressed his leg up again as he did last night, Hedy tried to let her feet lean to the side of the bed. Eventually, she made half of her leg almost hanging outside the bed.
However, after Victor went to bed, he just imperiously took the little boy from Hedy’s arms into his. And then he closed his eyes and prepared to be asleep.
It seemed he owned the son while Hedy did not.
Why was he holding the kid so entirely like she didn’t exist?
That was her son too!
Hedy was not going to concede. She got closer to her son and reached out to hug him.
However, in this way that Hedy and Victor hugged the little boy together, their arms were contacted with each other intimately.
Victor’s arms was cold, but his skin touched smooth. With this good feeling, Hedy became dull for a while. She unconsciously stretched out her hand and touched him more, thinking that the man who led a life of luxury and privilege was really different with ordinary male. His skin condition was even better than hers!
“Enough for touching?”
The sudden sound of the low voice of Victor made Hedy too embarrassed to look up.
“Nobody’s touching you. Get over yourself!”
Under the dim light of the night-light, Victor’s black eyes still seemed to have the power to penetrate Hedy’s mind. He said word by word slowly: “You are touching me.”
He spoke so directly which made Hedy ran out of words.
“Cut out your clumsy hook up skills. Five years ago it was a complete mistake that I slept with you and get you pregnant. Five years have past, I will never make the same mistake again.”
When he finished his words, Victor tried to pick up the little boy and wanted to turn over to sleep.
But the little boy reached out and held Hedy’s arm in a daze and talked in sleep: “Daddy, mommy, a family of three...”
After talking in his dream, the little boy smacked the lips and fell asleep again with his hand still holding Hedy.
Seeing what his son did, Victor’s eyes got gloomy. It seemed that even though his son was very close to him, he still could not replace the position of the child’s mother in his heart. He decided to be more patient and take his time to become his son’s first choice.
The next morning, after usual methodical toilette, Hedy went to the company for work.
As soon as she entered the company, she found that everyone was staring at her like she was some kind of rare treasure.
“What happened?”
