Eugene was at a loss for words momentarily. “So, Mommy and Uncle are great, but not Daddy?” The slow-motioned North blinked his eyes before nodding. “Hmm! Because he abandoned Mommy and I.
Hearing that, Eugene felt bitter from the bottom of his heart. Everyone thought that North was a clever and understanding boy, but it was only because circumstances made him to.
Suddenly, Eugene felt himself owing a lot to them, especially North. He made a detour to return to the front of North before grabbing his hand. “It’s my fault. I lost you and Mommy. It’s my fault to have you wandering around fatherless for so many years.” Staring at Eugene, North suddenly burst into tears while punching Eugene lightly. “You’re a bad Daddy!”
At that moment, Eugene could feel his heart tearing apart. He hurriedly pulled the boy into his arms and soothed, “Yeah, I am. I promise that I will never lose you guys again. I promise that I will love you forever, okay?” A crying North nestled in Eugene’s arms for at while until he nodded lightly. “Okay.”
Eugene caressed the little boy’s hair. “So, could you forgive Daddy?” North pondered. “Okay, I’ll forgive you because of Mommy.” A smile appeared across Eugene’s lips. “Because of her?”
“Because she likes you!” answered North listlessly. “Then, do you not like me?” Eugene questioned. North responded pridefully, “You’re not bad.” Eugene found that answer to be hilarious. “But Daddy likes you the most.”
“No, you must like Mommy the most!”
“Hmm, I like you and Mommy the best.” Olivia, who sat beside them, shed tears in silence. If North was not drunk, he would neither be this naughty nor blurt out his genuine thoughts.
