Bradley carried a crying Felix back to the boyâs room with a stern expression and gently placed. Felix on the bed. Tears still glistened on Felixâs face, making him look pitiful and lovable.
âFelix.â
Felixâs small shoulders slumped, and he choked out grievously. âDaddy, the pretty woman saved me, andâ¦â
Bradley sat beside him, took out a tissue, and gently wiped away the tears on Felixâs face. âFelix, she has nothing to do with you.
Once Felix thought of Lilianeâs fierce look and how his father refused to kiss Esther, he figured it must be because his father liked Liliane, the bad fake Mommy.
âIt has to do with me. Felix huffed. Tinkerbell died, and the pretty woman is sad.â
Bradleyâs heart trembled as he suddenly heard Felix mention Tinkerbell. He tried to console him in a gentle voice, âFelix, you shouldnât go see her anymoreâ
âNo! I want to go!â Felix stubbornly insisted. âDaddy, I want to take care of the pretty woman for Tinkerbell.â
Looking at Felix in this state, Bradley could not help but wonder if this was the intimacy of blood.
relations. They had become good friends even before he knew that Felix and Tinkerbell were siblings.
Then why did he have no feelings for Tinkerbell, even though she was his daughter? Tinkerbell was just a stranger to him previously.
Clark entered the room from outside with the fruits he had bought. He looked at Felix and Bradley.
teasingly asking. âMr. Felix, why are you crying?â
As soon as Felix saw Clark, he immediately complained in a stubborn tone, âGrandpaw Clark, the book says that a prince can wake up Sleeping Beauty with a kiss, but Daddy didnât want to do it.â
Clark took a deep look at Felix and comforted him. âCould it be that your father is just shy?â
Upon hearing Clarkâs words, Felix widened his eyes and looked at Bradley. âDaddy, are you shy?â
âTm not,â Bradleyâs face remained cold and stern as he denied the unintentional lifeline Clark had thrown at him.
Clark did not dwell on the matter and instead softly asked, âFelix, do you want some fruits?â
âYes!â Felix answered cheerily, âI want to get better quickly and take care of the pretty woman for Tinkerbellâ
He was determined to eat, sleep, and keep his body strong to care for his mother.
Clark took the fruits to the kitchenette, skillfully prepared a beautiful fig platter, and brought it to Felu âWow! Itâs so beautiful! Felix took the fork from Clark and thanked him in an endearing voice,â
Thank you, Grandpaw Clark.â
He ate the fruits in big bites-figs, crunchy apricots, watermelons, strawberries, peaches, oranges, and more. His little mouth was filled to the brim, and he exuded an indescribable joy.
âMr. Bradley, letâs talk,â Clark said as he entered Bradleyâs office area in the suite.
Bradley followed him into the room and elegantly sat on the leather office chair, raising an eyebrow.
âClark, whatâs the matter?â
âI have no comments about you and Esther getting divorced, and I wonât stop you because itâs your life,â Clark said.
He held a brown envelope, bringing over the diary that Esther had written about her secret crush.
during her youth from the manorâs attic. After listening to the contents of the pen recorder and witnessing Bradleyâs indulgence toward Liliane, he recalled the diary.
