Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Chapter 379: 379: No One Can Escape the Pitfalls of Fatherhood

“Can you sleep after hearing this story?”

She took a deep breath, realizing that no one can escape the pitfalls of a father taking care of a child.

“Go to sleep! No more stories, it’s already 10 o’clock.” Cindy said helplessly.

Adrian Zhekova was supposed to put Morgan Zhekova to bed, but instead, he made the little one even more energetic.

Morgan was really enjoying the story and didn’t want it to end, so he pouted, “Dad, will you tell me another one tomorrow?”

Adrian Zhekova:

He wanted to spend more time with Cindy.

But seeing Morgan’s hopeful, watery eyes, Adrian couldn’t bear to say no.

He nodded and said, “We’ll make a deal – I’ll only tell you a story for half an hour each time. Or else, Cindy will be angry.”

Telling this little guy stories for half an hour a day was still within his acceptable range.

Adrian deliberately set the time limit to half an hour, giving his own cleverness a thumbs up!

The little guy didn’t realize Adrian’s cunning twists and turns and even thought it made sense.

He agreed, “Okay!”

Adrian Zhekova said, “Then you better go to sleep.”

Having said that, he got up.

Just as he was about to leave, he felt a small force tugging on his sleeve.

Adrian stopped and turned to look at the little one.

In the bedroom, only one table lamp was lit, giving a gentle, warm glow.

As Cindy opened the door, the light from outside also came in.

Adrian saw Morgan’s soft face turn red clearly.

He pointed at his cheek shyly, “Good night… good night kiss! You forgot?”

Adrian’s face lit up with a smile, and a hint of mist appeared in his eyes.

“Sorry.” He bent down, “I was afraid you wouldn’t like it.”

Morgan wriggled about in his blanket, “If it’s from Dad, I’ll like it.”

Although sometimes he would tease his dad, deep down in his heart he loved him.

Especially after having daddy just told a bedtime story.

Morgan thought at that time, having a dad is so great after all!

Morgan turned his head slightly, purposely exposing one side of his cheek to Adrian, making it more convenient for him to kiss.

Although he didn’t speak, Morgan’s entire body seemed to urge him, “Hurry up!”

Adrian thought, how did this little guy become so adorable all of a sudden?

Morgan seemed so small and soft that Adrian just wanted to hold him tightly in his arms.

This was his son.

A warm and soft connection of bloodlines overflowed from Adrian’s heart.

He leaned in and kissed Morgan’s cheek.

Morgan’s skin was incredibly delicate, and Adrian felt as if he had just touched cream. He even smelled a hint of milk.

“Goodnight.” Adrian said gently with a smile.

Morgan’s face turned red, unable to hide the delight on his face.

With both small hands gripping the blanket, he pulled it up to his chin, covering his delighted smile as well, “Goodnight, Dad.”

Adrian thought that telling this little guy bedtime stories for half an hour every night was pretty nice.

At this moment, Morgan tilted his head and looked at Cindy Clarke, who was standing at the door.

Cindy was watching the interaction between Adrian and Morgan, lost in their heartwarming moment.

She couldn’t help but feel her eyes welling up just watching them together.

“Cindy.” Morgan revealed the other side of his cheek to her, clearly showing it off invitingly. It was indescribably adorable.
