The driver, who was behind the wheel, nearly jumped out of his skin when the aloof big boss suddenly let out a coquettish whimper, slamming on the brakes.
"I’m sorry, President,"
the driver quickly apologized, his heart already tumultuous from the scare his boss had given him, but his professional demeanor remained unflappable.
He had never expected the boss to be such a provocative man when he always seemed as unapproachable as a snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountains.
He had totally misread him!!!
Carrying a heart full of shock as he dropped off the family of three, the driver let out a sigh of relief as though he had been set free.
When they arrived home, little William, who had been excited all day, was already fast asleep in the car.
Adam moved to pick him up but was stopped by Elly, "Let me do it."
"I knew my wife would feel sorry for me."
A cheeky voice reached Elly’s ears once more, irritating her so much that she bit her lip in annoyance and, ignoring him, carried William towards the elevator.
Adam followed behind her, his eyes filled with a tender, deep affection. Remembering the playful scuffle they had in the car, his gaze involuntarily softened even more.
Perhaps even Elly hadn’t realized that subconsciously she was no longer as resistant to him.
In the car, she had claimed she’d break his arm and certainly had used some strength, but he could feel her concern for the injury on his arm—she was still worried about him.
This realization made Adam’s already joyful mood brighten even further.
It wasn’t until they placed William in bed, the trophy he was holding in his hand not loosened for a second,
that every time Elly tried to pull the trophy from his grip, he would cling to it tightly and even start to fuss and cry.
In the end, Elly had no choice but to let him sleep with the trophy in his arms.
After kissing her son’s rosy cheeks, Elly’s eyes were so tender they seemed to brim with warmth.
Having tucked the child in and ensuring the room was sufficiently heated, they tiptoed out of the room with lighter steps, preparing to leave.
"Go Daddy, go Mommy! Go Daddy, go Mommy!!"
Just as they were about to exit the room, William suddenly shouted out, startling them both into spinning around to look at the bed.
Seeing William clutching the trophy and waving it joyfully, his feet tucked under the blanket kicking vigorously, it was apparent even in his dreams that he was very happy that day.
Watching their son , they couldn’t help but laugh silently.
Moving forwards, they sat by the bed and gently patted William’s body, trying to soothe him back into calmness.
But the next second, William burst into tears, "Daddy, don’t go. William wants Daddy. William will be good, don’t go Daddy, and Mommy, don’t let Daddy go..."
With his eyes tightly closed, scalding tears instantly streamed down from his eyes, his crying heart-wrenching as each sob tugged painfully at both Adam’s and Elly’s hearts.
Adam hurried over, took his son in his arms, and comforted him with kisses and cuddles, "William, sweetheart, Daddy didn’t leave. Daddy is right here with William. Daddy will never leave."
Adam’s words worked wonders, and just like that, William instantly quieted down, sobbing spasmodically in his father’s embrace, eyes still shut tight.
Adam dared not let him go, holding him until he fell asleep.
