I lifted my eyes, only to meet Xin's gaze. He was sitting in the living room doing something on his laptop. And when I saw him, my heart beat a little faster.“So it's true?“ Little Lion asked with a sigh. And I shook my head at him quickly.“Honey? Where are you getting that? Eze is my best friend. He will just be that, okay?“ I explained. Who the hell made him think that there was anything between Eze and me?I saw his face relax, and he gave me a kiss on the cheek. “Come on, handsome Xin, and I missed you,” he said, pulling me to the living room.I tensed up, but I didn't say a word. I stood in front of Xin like a fool. I did not know what I was supposed to say.Xin did not say anything either. He remained so quiet, like I wasn't even around. And I swallowed hard."Um, I came to pick him up,” I finally said. I had stood there for almost five minutes, and the man had not said anything.In fact, I felt like crying. Tears welled on my eyes, but I fought hard not to expose them.And it

The old man's face turned uglier. “What are you trying to say, Xin? Is it because of her again?“ He asked. He hated it so much when his grandson struggled to fight for that useless woman.Xin knew that things would get out of hand if he continued speaking like that. Even though he was still so mad, he sighed.“I mean that if I had known that she was pregnant with my child, I would ask her to give birth and leave the child behind,” he explained. And the old man's face was slightly relaxed.Under the table, Xin clenched his fists. He hated it when he was being controlled like a small child who didn't know what was right and wrong.“You know what to do, Xin. Little Lion is our blood. Moreso, I love the kid,” he said. Little Lion was the only fourth-generation child that they had for the time being.Xin slowly nodded his head. “I am handling it,” he said. Of course, he knew that it was all about filing for the custody of the child.…Abby kept looking at her phone, which was on the bed be

…When Xin stepped out of the room, his heart was beating so fast. He lifted his hand and touched his chest. He then took a deep breath, and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips again.He turned to look at the closed door behind him before slowly walking downstairs.He knocked on Little Lion's door a few times, but the child did not open it. Left with no choice, he looked for the spare key and opened the door.And the sight that befell him made his heart ache. On the bed, Little Lion was seated. His face was covered in tears, and his shoulders were shaking.Xin slowly sat on the bed beside the child, but Little Lion turned to face the other side. He still did not believe that both his mom and Xin had lied to him.While everyone was laughing at him at school for being fatherless, he had the most powerful dad in the country. It hurt him.“I didn't know that you were my son until today, when I came to look for you at the park,” Xin quietly explained. He understood what the child wa

“You are not putting on your slippers, darling. You might catch a cold,” he said so close to my ears that I shivered.His warm breath caressed my skin, and goosebumps formed all over. My heart also began beating so fast.He put me back on the bed and put a pair of slippers on the floor. “Put them on when you want to run around,” he said.I sighed and looked away from him. I didn't know what he was trying to play at. The last thing I remembered was that he was so mad at me that he couldn't even talk to me. Why was he so sweet all of a sudden?He walked into the bathroom and came out a few minutes later. “Your bath is ready. I will send some fresh clothes over. Once you are done, come down for breakfast,” he said calmly.And I almost laughed. “Xin?“ I called in confusion. “What the hell are you trying to do? I didn't move into your house.“Xin looked at me briefly before shrugging his shoulders. “I didn't say you moved in, sweetheart. I just thought that you wouldn't have enough time to

And when he got out of the car, he opened my door and forced me out. He tightly held my hand in his and began walking away.“Xin, what are you doing?“ I asked in confusion. What had gotten over him? Did he want us to walk like that to the office?Xin only shrugged his shoulders. "I am going to the office with my wife. Is something wrong with that?“ He asked. His calmness shocked me more.“But everyone will look at us,” I tried to say to him. How would we explain things to everyone if they saw us like that?“I don't care what anyone says, darling. Let us go to work,” he said, pulling away.I could see the look of shock on some of the guards that were around. It felt so awkward. All I could do was look at the floor as he pulled me to his private lift.Since I wasn't looking at him, I ended up bumping into his chest. “Ouch!“ I winced in pain and rubbed my chest.Xin hurriedly looked at me. “Are you okay?“ He asked, and his hand went to my chest. I didn't know what he was just about to do
