Sophie Smith casually ate the food in her bowl while Alexander wanted to say sothing she initially didn’t pay much attention to.
"Go ahead and ask."
"Mommy, can I call Uncle Davis ’Dad’?"
Sophie Smith’s hand holding the chopsticks froze, and her little face beca serious.
"Alexander, don’t say such things!" Sophie Smith sternly stopped him. She had never raised her voice in front of Alexander, but this ti...
"Little Sophie, Alexander is still a child, don’t bla him." Nolan Davis helplessly curved his lips and rubbed Alexander’s little head, "Alexander, don’t say things like that again next ti, your mommy will get angry."
"Why?" Alexander looked up at Nolan Davis, "Uncle Davis, you really like mommy, don’t you? If you like her, then why can’t you be together? The kids at school, their moms and dads live together. You and mommy also often live together, don’t you?"
"That’s a different concept." Nolan Davis tried to explain to a five-year-old, "Their mommies and daddies not only live together, but at night, they sleep in the sa room and the sa bed. But your mom and I have never slept in the sa bed."
"..." Sophie Smith looked speechless at Nolan Davis. What was he saying?
"Then, why don’t you just sleep together?"
"..."
"Uncle Davis, I really like you. I admire you a lot. You know so many things, and Alexander wants to learn all of them. If only I had a dad like you."
"Alexander!" Sophie Smith pulled back a chair, walked to Alexander, and looked down at him, saying word by word, "You know you have a dad, right?"
"But I’ve never seen him. In my heart, having one is the sa as not having one." Alexander calmly voiced what he had been hiding in his heart.
"You!..."
Sophie Smith bit her lip, not looking very happy. Alexander had never seen Sophie Smith angry with him. He lowered his head, thinking that this ti, he’d finally see it.
But Sophie Smith still didn’t let the words out. She lost her appetite and turned around, quickly heading upstairs.
"Uncle Davis, do you want to be my dad?" Alexander was still unwilling to give up.
"Of course I want to, but your mommy won’t give the chance." Nolan Davis chuckled, "Alexander, next ti, don’t say stuff like this in front of your mommy. She’ll get really sad. You don’t want to see her sad, do you?"
"Hmm..." Alexander gloomily lowered his head, letting out a sound from his nose.
...
The room wasn’t lit, and Nolan Davis stood at the doorway, gently pushing the door open.
At the mont he opened the door, he faintly heard a tiny sobbing sound.
He took two more steps forward, found the light switch, and turned on the light in the room. The sudden brightness made Sophie Smith a bit uncomfortable.
"Crying again?" Nolan Davis coaxed her like a little girl, "The child doesn’t understand things. Did you really take his words to heart?"
Sophie Smith continued to remain silent.
"Little Sophie..."
"Mr. Davis." Sophie Smith interrupted him, "You don’t need to comfort ."
She had to admit that hearing Alexander’s words made her feel really uncomfortable.
She had always been desperately trying to leave Asher Land’s image in Alexander’s mind, but since Asher was never around him, no matter how hard she tried to make up for it, it was all to no avail.
