Chapter 941 - A Lunatic (1/2)

*Ding-Dong!*

Hearing the doorbell, Xiu was surprised, ”Huh? It isn't time for Regan to come back from work. And I'm not expecting anyone today either. Who might it be?”

The maid opened the door and soon brought the guest inside.

Seeing the man, Xiu raised her brows, ”Father-in-law, what a surprise!”

Zhou Xichen smiled at Xiu gently and told her, ”I was in the city for a meeting and decided to meet my grandson. Is that alright?”

Xiu nodded instantly, ”Why wouldn't it be alright?”

Zhou Xichen looked at Francesca, ”Weren't you in Italy?”

”I just came back,” answered Francesca in a small voice. Usually, she kept a fierce appearance before Zhou Xichen but today, she was quite soft. She wasn't fierce because she hated him or anything.

But it was just her way to protect her son from the people that had surrounded Zhou Xichen's life. The people who destroyed his marriage. She didn't want any of them to affect her son's life as well.

Zhou Xichen at first didn't notice the change in Francesca. He took his grandson from her hands and played with him. He looked so happy holding his grandson. He never got to hold both his sons. What a joke life played with him that he didn't know about the birth of both his sons at first.

Although he learned about Zhou Jinhai early on when he was a kid, because of who was the mother of Zhou Jinhai, he kept his distance from his own son. It was after Zhou Jinhai grew up a little that he started paying him attention and realized that he couldn't blame a child for his mother's deeds.

As for Darren, he learned about him when he was old enough to understand way too much. By that time, he had already missed out on a whole lot of things. So, the feeling of holding a baby was really foreign to him but he loved it.

And seeing him like that, Francesca was lost in her own thoughts. She was going through different inexplicable emotions right now. She was thinking if... If her sister had trusted in Zhou Xichen or her love was a little stronger, wouldn't life had been different right now?

Suddenly, the crying of the little baby pulled her out of her thoughts. Zhou Xichen was also surprised that his grandson who was just laughing, suddenly started crying for no reason. He looked at Xiu helplessly who smiled at his adorable expression.

”Give him to me, he is hungry.”

Zhou Xichen hurriedly passed him to Xiu who cradled her son in her arms and said, ”You both talk, I'll come back in a while.”

”It's alright, take your time,” said both Zhou Xichen and Francesca almost simultaneously.

Xiu instructed the maids to serve them some snacks while she went upstairs. After feeding her son, she had to put him to sleep. After all, this little master always loved his nap after his meals. And Xiu couldn't blame him for that. The sleep was sweeter with a full stomach and she knew it best!

Downstairs, Zhou Xichen and Francesca were sitting in silence for a while. Both didn't know what to talk about. But Zhou Xichen had finally noticed the change in Francesca who had been sneaking glances at him.
