Chapter 386: First Time to Be a Dad


    Ryan, looking at the pale-faced woman by his feet, helps her up onto the sofa beside. He has already


    understood quite well, "Did Rex take away the child?"


    "Yeah."


    The security and anti-thief door of the apartment are highly safe, but even so, it still hasn''t stopped that


    terrifying man.


    He keeps messing with her scoundrelly. What''s more, there''s Pehry by his side. It''s as easy as pie if he


    wants to do that. Besides, they two are together tonight; it can''t be more convenient than that.


    Lily has been wary and cautious already, but now she''s more suspended without seeing her child. She


    takes over the phone hastily, "Let''s call the police."


    Ryan holds down her hand. He''s much steadier in contrast to her panic state, "Save it. It''s J City, not


    the UK."


    Lily can''t bear this anymore and raises her voice, "But my child is taken away. There must be someone


    to call!"


    "As long as Rex says he''s the father of the child, it won''t work no matter whom you call." Ryanys


    bare the truth.


    An impartial judge would find it hard to settle a family quarrel. As far as these things are concerned,


    even police can''t easily enforce thew.


    Besides, J City is neither too big nor too small. Connections are everywhere. Rex, with his power in the


    city, poses great influence. Who could arrest him even if he hasmitted that?


    This moment seems particrly helpless.


    Lilly, looking at the empty house, tries to picture that 20 minutes ago her child was still sleeping soundly


    and waiting for her toe home. 20 minutester, everything is gone.


    She finally sees it first-hand this man''s cruel means, his superciliousness and impunity. He only needs


    to move his pinky to get what he wants, and she has no say in this.


    "Don''t panic yet. Rex took your child, but at least he won''t hurt him. You can rest assured about his


    safety." Ryan hasn''t expected him to be so heartless, and he can only say somethingforting to Lily.


    That is true. There won''t be a problem on safety.


    But what about how the child feels?


    "Adair got to know he''s the father just now. It must be hard for Adair to get used to it since he was


    suddenly taken away. He''s reserved and too scared to say it..." Lilly loses her voice as she goes on.


    Just the thought alone drills her heart.


    "I''ll contain him with something from thepanyter. Leave it to me, and you''ll soon see you child,


    okay?" Ryan has made some preparations beforeing. They''re all ying with capitals. Let''s see


    who is cleaner. Amongst thousands of intertwined rtions, there must be one to keep him in check.


    Lily''s fist grips so tightly that her fingernails cut into her palm unconsciously. She is now feeling exactly


    like a mother who lost her child. Though she knows her child must be with Rex, she cannot rx at all.

    But what could she do other than telling herself continuously to be calm? If she couldn''t keep calm,


    how is she going to handle the child''s situation?


    Lily takes a wet tissue and puts it on her neck artery and feels a bit calmer as she thinks. "I''ll go to him


    myself tomorrow. Let''s see how long he''s going to hide my child."


    Ryan feels worry leaving her alone, "Leave it to me, please. You can''t make it like this."


    "No." Lily shakes her head, with a trace of determination in her eyes. It is that man who pushes her to


    confront it by herself, "This is between me and him. I must be the one to decide. He wants to push me?


    Fine, I''ll y along!"


    ...


    On the other side, half past 10 at night, on arge size bed in the master bedroom of the Vi, sits two


    persons - an adult and a child are staring at each other face to face. It is quite a funny scene.


    Rex looks at the little devil opposite to him. Although he is only 4 and a half years old, the child is


    seemingly more mature than his peers, whose nce feels almost judgmental. His big round eyes


    stare at him straightforwardly, his tiny nose wrinkles subtly, and lips puckers in vignce; this looks too


    much like him.


    Rex thinks it gets funnier the longer he looks, feeling amazed by genes but showing no expression on


    his face so as not to embarrass the little boy.


    He''s being very serious. Bursting intoughter would seem awful.


    So, they stare at each other for a while. But children have lesser willpower than adult after all. With a


    cold tone, he says, "Uncle, have you told my mother when you took me here from my home? She


    would be worrying for me if she doesn''t know."


    Uncle?


    Due to this address, Rex frowns a little. Did the child feel awkward calling him daddy, or did he say that


    intentionally?


    No matter what the reason is, he has to ept it.


    Matured man has great temperament. He answers nicely, "Your mother knows you''re here with me."


    "Really?" The doubtful child reaches out his tiny, tender hand, "Then I want to borrow your phone and


    talk to my mom!"


    Huh, this kid is not stupid at all. He knew to ask the question first then demand the pher. Isn''t it


    going to embarrass him?


    But Rex is not anybody. After so many big scenes, a little kid will not trouble him.


    Therefore, he ill-intentionally raises his wrist and nces at his watch, "You see, it''s 10 o''clock already.


    Your mommy must be tired and sleeping after a whole day of work. Calling her now will disrupt her


    rest."


    After telling him, he patiently looks at the expression of the child. Seeing his contemting look, he


    promptly follows with another suggest, "How about this? You go to bed now, and when you wake up


    tomorrow, uncle will let you call your mommy, okay?"


    The child goes quiet and looks down like he''s thinking with a serious expression. After thinking for a


    while, he thinks it is doable but still doesn''t trust Rex, "But what if you change your mind tomorrow


    morning?"


    "Uncle won''t change my mind." Rex says with a reliable tone. After all he has no intention to lie to him.


    It is in his estimation that Lily''s maximum tolerance will be reached tomorrow.


    Adair does not buy it though. His tiny lips purse and open, letting out a weakened voice, "But I don''t


    trust you."


    This phrasees out in a more depressing mood than anything he has said earlier. Although Rex has


    put in so much effort making him follow and taken blows from his doubting, this time Rex clearly feels


    the shift in his emotions.


    As the father of the child, he understands perfectly why.


    He indeed doesn''t trust him, not only because he has taken him from the apartment, but also because


    his disappearance for all these years and theck of care for the mother and child.


    This unembellished phrase certainly strikes him as a censure.


    The smile beneath Rex'' eyes fades into guilt, heartache, and most of all, affection. He reaches to the


    child''s fluffy head, unworried of being shunned, with an utmost patience and tenderness he says, "I


    know, but uncle will keep my promise. Give uncle a chance okay?"
