Chapter 727: 727: Eyes Full of Disdain

“How do you feel? Are you more comfortable now?” Cindy Clarke asked when she saw the little guy coming out, his face looking much better.

He had been making a grimace when he was feeling uncomfortable earlier.

“I’m comfortable now!” Morgan Zhekova rubbed his stomach, “I can even rub my belly now!”

“Alright, alright, stop rubbing.” Cindy grabbed his hand, “You’re finally feeling better.”

“Why don’t you play another Switch game? Choose something with less physical activity to help with digestion.” Cindy suggested.

Although it was getting late.

She really didn’t feel at ease letting the little guy sleep with such a full stomach.

The little guy was struggling to stay awake, covering his mouth as he yawned, “Can I just sleep now? I’m so sleepy.”

Cindy sighed and said, “Alright, then go to sleep.”

The little guy was like a prisoner who had received an amnesty, he rushed into the bedroom and climbed onto the bed.

He obediently lay at the edge of the bed and patted the middle spot, “Cindy, come on.”

See, he was really nice to Adrian Zhekova.

He let Cindy lie in the middle so both of them could lean on her.

How nice!

Cindy was just about to go over when Adrian Zhekova surprisingly beat her to it.

Under the gaze of the little guy’s astonished eyes, Adrian Zhekova lay down in the middle, right in the spot originally left for Cindy.

Adrian Zhekova turned to the little guy and said, “Speaking of which, I’ve never held you while sleeping. Today is a perfect opportunity, sleep leaning on me.”

The little guy: “…”

He doesn’t want to lean on Adrian Zhekova while sleeping.

Adrian Zhekova’s chest is hard, not at all comfortable, and doesn’t smell as good as Cindy’s.

“Dad, you go to the side! One on each side, no need to fight!” The little guy suggested.

“No way!” Adrian Zhekova mercilessly rejected the little guy’s suggestion, “You’re so old and still want to sleep holding on to Cindy, it’s laughable.”

The little guy: “…”

“We just won’t tell anyone!” The little guy immediately responded.

Adrian Zhekova raised an eyebrow and asked, “Don’t you want to sleep with me?”

The little guy looked at Adrian Zhekova’s face and chest with disdain, then looked back at him.

His eyes were filled with disgust.

Adrian Zhekova: “…”

“Fine, let’s just make do with each other then.” Adrian Zhekova said.

The little guy: “…”

He doesn’t want to make do with Adrian Zhekova at all.

Cindy had to console him, “Dad hasn’t slept with you before, you know. He’s always regretted missing out on those four years.”

“He’s even said before that he’s never attended your birthday parties, and he’s felt really bad about it,” Cindy continued, “Just indulge him this time.”

The little guy looked suspiciously at Adrian Zhekova.

Really?

Would Dad even say something so sincere to him?

“Really.” Cindy poked her head out from behind Adrian Zhekova, nodding vigorously.

In a spot the little guy couldn’t see, Cindy also secretly jabbed a few times at Adrian Zhekova’s waist.

Compared to being usurped by the little guy for Cindy’s embrace, Adrian Zhekova could only nod at this moment, “Really.”

The little guy thought about it for a while before agreeing, “Fine then. Dad, you can hold me while I sleep.”

With that, he even took the initiative to snuggle into Adrian Zhekova’s arms.

He also grabbed Adrian Zhekova’s arm and wrapped it around his own back.

Adrian Zhekova: “…”

“Okay, go to sleep.” Cindy reached out for the bedside master control switch.

The room was equipped with a control switch similar to those found in hotel rooms.

You can control the lights in the room directly from the head of the bed.

“Goodnight,” Cindy said.

“Goodnight, Cindy.” The little guy said softly in Adrian Zhekova’s arms, “Goodnight, Dad.”

After a while, Adrian Zhekova guessed that Morgan should be asleep.

He quietly tried to move Morgan out of his arms so he could turn over and hold Cindy.

Holding Morgan was not as comfortable as holding Cindy.

Although Morgan had a milky scent on him, which was quite pleasant.

But still, it was nothing compared to Cindy.

Who knew, as soon as Adrian Zhekova moved, Morgan twisted around in his arms, “Dad, cuddle.”

Adrian Zhekova: “…”

“You’re not asleep?” Adrian Zhekova whispered to Morgan, afraid that a loud voice would wake Cindy.

Morgan looked up, and in the darkness, his eyes shimmered with a faint light.

The little guy said, “Didn’t you say you were going to hold me all night? You shouldn’t turn over!”

Adrian Zhekova: “…”

This kid, he couldn’t have been waiting for this moment and deliberately stayed awake, could he?!

“You’re doing this on purpose,” Adrian Zhekova squinted at him.

Morgan yawned, “Ah, I’m so sleepy.”

“You two, aren’t you going to sleep?” Cindy also asked.

“You’re not asleep too?” Adrian Zhekova turned back to inquire.

“I was asleep, but you two woke me up,” Cindy said.

Even though Adrian Zhekova and the little guy spoke softly.

But with the three of them crammed into one bed, how could they not be heard?

Cindy’s remark rendered the father and son speechless.

The father and son looked at each other silently and closed their eyes in unison.

However, Morgan still clung firmly to Adrian Zhekova, not only holding his arm.

He even draped one of his little legs over Adrian Zhekova’s waist.

He was absolutely determined not to let Adrian Zhekova turn over.

Adrian Zhekova: “…”

He gave up.

Cindy heard Adrian Zhekova’s sigh and secretly held back her laughter, then moved closer to him from behind.

She pressed her cheek against Adrian Zhekova’s back, “Goodnight.”

Adrian Zhekova finally felt somewhat comforted.

His lips curled into a slight smile as he whispered, “Goodnight.”

***

The next day, when Cindy woke up, she found that Morgan had somehow switched to the middle of her and Adrian Zhekova.

And Adrian Zhekova had turned over to face her.

The two faced each other with Morgan sandwiched in between.

The space left for Morgan was quite small.

But looking at it, it was especially warm and cozy.

Cindy wondered how the little guy had managed to switch to the middle.

When she looked again, she realized that even while asleep, Morgan was still clinging tightly to Adrian Zhekova.

Cindy couldn’t help but have a bold guess.

Could it be that Morgan had been clinging to Adrian Zhekova all along?

And when Adrian Zhekova fell asleep, he naturally turned over, bringing Morgan to the middle.

Cindy laughed, gently kissing Morgan’s cheek.

And then, across Morgan, she kissed Adrian Zhekova’s cheek as well.

It was only 7 o’clock in the morning now.

But Cindy thought she should get up early.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Aunt Evans and Butler Howard might not come so soon.

She wanted to get up early, fry the leftover dumplings from midnight, and have them for breakfast.

She didn’t want to wait for the elders to get up and find out there was no breakfast.

Morgan smacked his lips, unaware of what dream he was having, but he didn’t wake up even when Cindy kissed him.

But Adrian Zhekova was instantly alert.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Cindy’s surprised expression.
