60 Chapter 60: Our own son (2/2)
'Who cares about the weather?'
He felt his nerves twitching. The woman was ignoring his presence again. He had just brought her to his own place to spend the day with and the view from where they currently are is so stunning that he thought he could pull a romantic stunt afterwards. They have already kissed and such but every single time seems just like a passing moment for her. His patience was growing thin.
With a sullen expression, Sid stared down at Laurice and with a deep low voice he said to her, ”Don't you have anything to ask me?”
That statement caught Laurice's attention in an instant.
Right, weren't she frantic awhile ago about knowing the fact that the wealthy man beside her was apparently wooing her? But what was she worried about again?
Laurice's eyes narrowed in slits as she pondered until she caught a glimpse of a familiar small figure from the side of her eyes striding up the ladder as he pushed his body forward and swiftly slid down from the peak of the wavy park slide not far away from where they are. The child was beaming with joy as he puffed some air out of his lungs, excitement was evident in his handsome small and round face. The moment Little Louie fell down the slide, he had maintained balance on his feet and went back for another ride and another. Butler Han cautiously watched over the little young master as he played.
At that moment, it finally struck her.
Her eyes glinted with uncertainty and inexplicable sorrow.
Sid who managed to faintly rose from his seat to change position have given Laurice a gentle nudge in the forehead. He was gripping at the side of the swing with both of his hands on the galvanized chain and slowly, his head descended as he rested his chin right above the woman's shoulders.
Laurice: ” !!! ”
Laurice jerked and gasped with the man's sudden reaction.
She have failed to notice that Sid was already leaning behind her. The closeness of their bodies was easing its way up to her heart calming her nerves down to a notch in a second but that did not even last long as intended. She felt a throb in her chest when she felt his warm breath at the side of her neck. It was giving off a tingling sensation.
”Are you not curious about me and my son?”
The man whispered in her ear.
That tickled. Laurice had goosebumps over half her body.
Damn!
The man's bedroom voice was making her heart waver. She could not speak a word though. But she really ... really do want to ask him exactly that. She just don't know how to put it into words. Was it even proper for her to ask the man where's the mother of his child?
Not long after, Sid spoke again. With longing gaze, he stared at the direction to where his son is and said to Laurice, ”It would have been amazing if he was our own son.”
Laurice: ” ...???!!! ”
