Marrying the Man in the Dark

Chapter 1186 My Son

Having only met the child a few times, Lennon found their unfamiliar and strained father-son relationship too delicate to risk being rude.

Taking a deep breath, the man gathered his patience. "You and I share a bond as father and son by blood," he asserted.

Alexis rolled his eyes in frustration. "It's all too complicated. I don't get it."

"All I know is, the one who married my mom is the dad," Alexis insisted.

Lennon fell silent, grappling with the weight of Alexis's words.

He turned his head to gaze at the two figures lying side by side on the sofa, growing increasingly uneasy no matter how he viewed the scene.

Colin fell asleep and accidentally placed his hand on Lucy's chest.

Seeing Colin's hand moving towards Lucy's chest, Lennon quickly rushed over and moved Colin's hand away to prevent any inappropriate contact.

Alexis watched with a blink of his eyes, feigning ignorance. "Why are you touching my dad's hand, Mr. Lenoir?"

"Oh, I get it now. You want Mom and Dad to go to the bedroom together, right?"

The little guy smiled mischievously, his eyes narrowing. "So, Mr. Lenoir, could you please lend a hand?"

He knew he didn't have the strength to move two adults into the bedroom.

Lucy's back wasn't good, and sleeping on the sofa all night would cause her pain. Given the opportunity for free labor, why not make the most of it?

Lennon's expression darkened.

Despite wanting to refuse the child's request, he couldn't ignore Lucy's back condition...

He turned his head to glance at Lucy lying on the sofa, couldn't help but sigh, and then proceeded to carry Colin upstairs.

Alexis sat on the sofa, casually sipping a drink and watching TV. "Mom, you said this guy is smart; it turns out he's pretty clever."

"You call him dumb; he acts dumb," he quipped. "Remember when you said no one could fool me, little fool? Well, guess what? He fooled me!"

With a helpless sigh, he added, "Mom, do you think he's dumb... or just playing dumb on purpose?"

Lennon carried Colin upstairs to the guest room.

When he returned downstairs, Lennon gently guided Lucy to the main bedroom.

Alexis understood his intentions but chose not to confront him; after all, Lennon was doing them a favor with his free labor, and it wouldn't be right to be too critical.

The little guy smiled mischievously, holding his drink as he looked at Lennon. "Mr. Lenoir came over so late; it can't just be to take care of my dad and mom, right?"

"Do you have something else to do?" he asked innocently.

"Of course," Lennon replied with a knowing smile.

The man furrowed his brow slightly. "Where's the study?"noveldrama

Alexis was surprised. So, this guy was here on business after all.

Ah, he knew it!

How could a man with such a heart of stone come here just because he was worried about Mom?

With this thought in mind, Alexis pursed his lips and pointed behind him.

The man lifted his leg and headed towards the study.

As he passed by Alexis, he suddenly squatted down, placing a reassuring hand on Alexis's shoulder.

His weary black eyes held a profound sorrow. "Alexis," he began, his voice laden with emotion. You're still young. You might not grasp the complexities between your mom and me, but..."

He took a deep breath and retrieved a business card from his pocket. "I've never fulfilled my duties as a father, and I might never get the chance in the future."

"But always remember, you're my son."

He slipped the business card into Alexis's pocket. "If you ever face challenges you can't handle or your mom needs help, contact me discreetly. It's my responsibility."

Alexis clenched his lips, a pang of hurt piercing his heart.

Despite his young age, the father-son relationships he read about in comics were nothing like this!
