I was nervous to see them go, but Ming was more nervous than me.
Ming went straight to them and stopped them. He was smiling, but his tone was bad. “Sean, where are you going with my son?”
“Go to play.” Sean responded lightly.
Ming looked at Sean and said, “Sean, you’ve never looked after children. There are many people here. What if Lester has an accident when you don’t pay attention?”
“It won’t happen.”
“How do you know?”
They stood there and the atmosphere became tense again.
Ming took Lester away, so I went to him from Sean.
Now Ming wouldn’t let Sean take Lester.
At this time, Lester in Sean’s arms said, “Dad, you are busy. Don’t worry about us. I will take care of Uncle.”
“Huh?”
Sean looked at Lester in his arms and suddenly laughed.
His words made the adults who were nervous just now laugh.
Even I couldn’t help laughing. I asked him helplessly, “how do you take care of Uncle?”
“If there’s a bad guy, I’ll hit him with the Kung Fu that Grandpa Moore taught me!”
Lester said and acted.
His two short arms looked more lovely.
James looked at him and laughs, “Okay, play. Don’t worry.”
“Thank you, grandpa!” Lester immediately put his hands on his mouth and gave James a kiss. Then he gave Ming a kiss, “Dad, don’t worry!”
Sean took Lester away.
Ming was speechless.
I sat there and felt relieved.
The engagement dinner lasted more than three hours. Sean didn’t bring Lester back near the end of it.
Ming was talking to others and I was finally worried.
I got up and went out to find them.
I asked a few waiters and someone saw Lester and Sean playing in the back garden of the tavern.
It was the end of January and the back garden was cold. What if Lester catched a cold?
What was more, how could the two of them spend so much time outside?
I was worried and put on my coat and went out.
I went to the back garden. Even at night, the back garden was full of lights and it was bright.
Before I saw Lester, I heard Lester’s laughter in the distance!
I followed the laughter. I thought they were playing interesting games, but I walked over and found that they were just playing in a maze.
It was only half a meter high.
Lester was running around and Sean was chasing him.
Lester was a kid and not as fast as Sean, but Sean slowed down every time he catched him and Lester continued to run.
I watched the real father and son from afar. They were playing very simple games but they were very happy.
I looked at Lester and was in a trance for a moment.
Lester was a kid with a lot of ideas. Sometimes he was arrogant, but sometimes he would take advantage of being a kid to do something.
But he seldom had such a good time.
I was upset.
