Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Cindy saw the faint smile on the corners of Adrianâs lips, the curve of the smile seemed so gentle.
âGood night,â Adrian whispered, gently tucking in the covers for Morgan, and then got up to leave.
Seeing Cindy waiting at the door, he smiled and closed Morganâs bedroom door.
He told Cindy, âItâs not the first time Iâve seen him sleep, but itâs the first time I held him at night, put him to sleep, and said goodnight to him.â
Heâd missed four years, and this was the first time he could say goodnight to Morgan.
Adrianâs expression of regret and relief made Cindy feel a little uncomfortable.
Without thinking, she blurted out, âIf youâre willing, you can come and say goodnight to him every day.â
Having said that, a few seconds later, seeing Adrianâs surprised expression,
Cindy regretted it.
Why did she say that?
By saying that, wasnât she inviting Adrian to come over every day? Not to mention, Adrian was so busy and might not have time to come over every day.
Besides, it made her seem like she was deliberately finding excuses to spend time with Adrian every day.
Cindy wished she could slap her own mouth.
Why would she say that!
She really didnât mean it!
But to her surprise, Adrian seemed genuinely expectant, âReally? Can I really do that?â
Adrian apparently hadnât thought too much about it, instead he looked delighted with the idea.
Regret-filled words stuck in Cindyâs throat.
She nodded reluctantly, âOf course, youâre Morganâs father. I already said you can come and see him anytime you want.â
Cindy paused and added, âBut youâre so busy with work every day, coming here after work and then going back home, isnât that quite troublesome?
So, you could come less often.
Cindy said it very tactfully.
Unexpectedly, Adrian showed hesitation.
Cindy was puzzled by his reaction.
âUnsuitable!â Cindyâs response was surprisingly quick, denying the idea before Adrian could finish.
How could he think of living here?
She never said anything like that!
âI mean, if you donât mind the trouble, you can come every day,â Cindy hurriedly explained.
Adrian asked, âIf I think itâs troublesome, would you let me stay here?â
â Cindy replied immediately, âOf course not!â
Whatâs the matter with this man? How did he manage to steer every conversation to staying here?
Adrian regretfully said, âIn that case, Iâll just deal with the trouble. Even if itâs a bit of a hassle, Iâll still come every day.â
Cindy suddenly felt that she might have brought a big trouble upon herself.
Then she heard Adrian say, âActually, if you think itâs unsuitable for me to stay here, you can move in with Morgan and stay at my place.â
âThereâs plenty of room in my house, lots of bedrooms. Things would be just fine,â Adrian said. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Cindy took a deep breath and replied, âItâs not suitable for the two of us to live together.â
Having said that, her face turned red.
Isnât thatâ¦cohabitation?
Unconsciously, images of her and Adrian living together flashed through Cindyâs mind.
Surprisinglyâ¦they seemed quite harmonious.
Cindy hastily tried to shake off these images.
Adrian was toxic!
Not giving him a chance to say anything further, Cindy quickly said, âItâs pretty late, you should head back.â
Finally, Adrian knew whom Morgan inherited the rolling-eyes trait from..
