Mitchell paused and smiled calmly.
“Of course not! Your father immediately left the banquet as soon as he heard about your accident. He loves you very much, Chance. He’ll gradually get better at being a father, so we must give him a chance!”
Chance nodded obediently.
Mitchell poured out the chicken soup that was light and nutritious. It was specially made according to the nutritionist’s recipe.
“Eat slowly. Just take half a bowl first. Otherwise, it’ll be too much for your stomach to handle.”
Chance nodded obediently.
He lowered his head and ate slowly with a spoon. The veins on the back of his small hand were a little bruised by the needle, which was particularly conspicuous.
Chance held the Rubik’s cube in his other hand and did not let go.
Mitchell smiled and asked, “Do you like this Rubik’s cube that much?”
Chance nodded. “A lady gave it to me.”
There were so many people at the banquet last night, supposedly to celebrate Chance’s birthday.
However, no one prepared a suitable gift for him, only Selena did.
Mitchell said, “That lady saved you. Do you like her?”
Chance nodded. “Yeah. She was the one who helped me get water and called a doctor for me.”
That lady was also very nice and had a good temper. When she looked at him, she would not scrutinize or look at him strangely.
She also would not ask him questions that he did not want to answer.
Mitchell breathed a sigh of relief and stroked Chance’s curly hair.
“Eat slowly. I have to go to the office soon. I hired a new maid for you.”
“What about the previous one?”
“Your father said that she didn’t take good care of you, so we’ll hire a new one.”
Chance nodded without saying anything.
At first, Mitchell was worried that Chance would be reluctant to part with his previous maid.
However, Chance did not seem to have any opinion on hiring a new one.
While Mitchell felt relieved, he also became a little solemn.
Was Chance displeased with the previous maid in the first place? Was that why he did not have an opinion when Mitchell wanted to hire a new maid?
Mitchell felt a tightness in his chest and touched Chance’s head.
“If you’re not satisfied with the new maids, just tell me. I’ll hire other maids until you’re satisfied.”
Chance paused and raised his head slightly. His amber eyes were clear and pure.
He seemed to be able to see through people’s hearts.
His eyes were like a calm and deep lake. It made Mitchell steal a few more glances.
“I’m okay as long as you are satisfied with them. I don’t want Daddy to think that I’m troublesome.”
Mitchell suddenly choked.
He was so sad that he could not speak.
He sighed and really felt sorry for this poor little boy.
“Chance, you’re the young master of the Ferguson family. You have the right to be willful, and you have the right to tell us that you’re not feeling well or ask the hotel to prepare the most sumptuous dinner for you. You don’t need to put up with whatever you’re given, and you don’t need to care about what other people think about you.”
Chance was not a grown-up, but his thoughts were mature.
The kid back then who went to the office with a small schoolbag to find his dad had grown up so much in a blink of an eye.
However, Chance no longer smiled.
Mitchell did not know what to say to comfort the child.
Chance raised his head and looked at Mitchell seriously.
“I don’t.”
“What?”
“I don’t have the right to be willful because I’m not the child that Daddy wants.”
When Chance spoke, his eyes were watery and clear. He was still so cute and beautiful.
However, his face was pale and solemn.
Chance was well aware.
Although Chance was young, he remembered the past clearly.
Chance still remembered the shock and disgust in Eric’s eyes when Eric saw him.
