Chapter 18 Thanks Dad
Ricky’s mouth pressed into a hard line. Then, looking at Draxton, Ricky remained silent.
And then, Draxton took Ricky’s small hand and led him to another room. “Let’s see your room.”
Following Draxton, Ricky made for his room.
Isabella gazed at the father and the son, a big guy and a little man, with a dreamy look in her eyes.
From behind, they looked so alike. The only difference was their height.
When Draxton and Ricky approached the door, they suddenly stopped at the same time. Turning around, they looked at isabella.
Isabella was dumbstruck.
Draxton and Ricky looked at her silently. They had gotten the same look in their eyes.
“Aren’t you coming with us?”
“Mom, come!”
Those words were what Isabella found in their eyes. She could not believe that she could read their thoughts in their eyes. Nevertheless, she could not help but smile and walk toward them.
Draxton cast one more glance at Isabella because of the smile on Isabella’s face. The corners of his mouth. curled slightly.
The three of them entered Ricky’s room. The room was spacious, and the decoration was very suitable for kids. Various toys were on the floor, one of them a little car.
Ricky’s eyes fell on that little red car.
Anyone could tell that Ricky liked that car from his eyes. But Ricky did not run toward it. On the contrary, his mouth set in a grim line.
Isabella read the thought on Ricky’s face and stroked Ricky’s hair. “Ricky,” she said, “do you like that little car?”
Ricky nodded sheepishly. He looked at Draxton with embarrassment.
Draxton’s eyes softened. “Ricky, if you like it, go play with it. Mom and Dad will stand here looking after you.”
After getting permission, Ricky briskly ran toward the little car and sat in the driver’s seat in no particular hurry.
Happiness flashed in his eyes. Draxton’s words, “Mom and Dad,” touched off a delightful explosion in his mind.
Suddenly, the word “Dad” became more intriguing and endearing to Ricky.
The little car ran up and down on the vast room floor. Isabella and Draxton stood shoulder–to–shoulder, looking at him without saying a word.
Ricky drove the car to the far side of the room and then turn it around, charging at Draxton and Isabella.
A happy smile lit up the child’s face. He had never looked cuter.
A smile appeared on Isabella and Draxton’s faces without them realizing it. Gentle looks were in their eyes.
For some reason, their eyes suddenly met, which stunned them both.
Isabella turned her head first, and her eyes fell on Ricky, Staying nonchalant, Draxton also turned to look at Ricky.
They looked like such a happy family.
At that moment, Cooper approached the room. Once inside, he found that Ricky was driving the little car. His heart melted at Ricky’s lovely smile. He clutched his chest and gazed at Ricky for a long moment.
“Mr. Lockwood, Miss Thompson, morning tea is ready. Are you going to have it with Ricky?” Cooper was very polite when he was talking. However, his eyes uncontrollably fell on Ricky. Draxton did not care about Cooper and said to Isabella, “Let’s go downstairs with Ricky, alright?”
1 “Okay Isabella nodded.
