After handing the briefcase and coat to the servant, Cedric nodded at Cheryl.
"Kerr is very obedient today." Cheryl walked to Cedric and said to him like a virtuous wife.
"Kerr, daddy's back. Come on, call me daddy." Cedric reached out his hand and teased Kerr's tender face.
Looking at Cedric's handsome face, Cheryl blushed. She said in a dull voice, "I went to the market today to buy some food ingredients. I'll cook for you later, okay?"
"You don't have to do that. The servant will cook."
Cedric took Kerr from Cheryl's hand and said to Cheryl coldly.
Everyone in the Xis knew that Cheryl loved Cedric. They all thought that Cheryl was a good woman and hoped that she could be with Cedric.
Cheryl pinched her clothes and plucked up her courage. "I want to take care of you," she said to Cedric seriously.
Hearing this, Cedric who was sitting on the sofa with Kerr in his arms, stared at Cheryl with sharp and domineering eyes.
"Cheryl, I'm sorry. You deserve a better man."
"But, I only like you." Cheryl said to Cedric with teas in her eyes.
Cheryl had made great achievements in the past half a year. Since Cedric helped her become the leading lady in the MV, she had attracted the public's attention. Then, people found out that Cheryl had a close relationship with Cedric. Many companies cooperated with her and she became more and more famous.
Cheryl was no longer a nobody like before. At the very least, she had become a famous star and would soon become a superstar.
"Sorry, I don't like you."
Cedric refused Cheryl calmly. Cheryl touched her eyes but she didn't get angry, "I know, but I won't give up. Cedric, I will try my best to make you fall in love with me."
After Cheryl finished speaking, she went to the kitchen without waiting for Cedric to say anything.
Looking at Cheryl's slender back, Cedric's eyes turned gloomy.
"Dada..." Kerr seemed to have noticed Cedric's unhappy expression. He pursed his lips, grabbed Cedric's tie, and bubbled.
Hearing Kerr's babbling, Cedric's handsome face gradually became gentle.
He reached out his hand and gently touched Kerr's forehead. He laughed, lowered his head, kissed Kerr's eyelids, and said, "Kerr, call me daddy once again."
Kerr blinked his beautiful eyes, which looked like that of Cedric's. Then, he opened his mouth and said, "Dada..."
Kerr was just bubbling, and Cedric didn't even know if Kerr was calling him dad. However, Cedric was very happy. He kissed Kerr's face heavily, rubbed Kerr's face with his stubble and said, "You're so smart. If your mom knows..."
Before he could finish his words, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a faint sense of loneliness.
"Young Master, this is the medicine soup that Kerr has to drink every day." The housekeeper came over with a bowl of medicine soup. Seeing that Cedric seemed to be a little sad, he sighed.
Although Cedric never said anything, the housekeeper knew that Cedric missed Joanna so much because he had been working in the Xis for such a long time. However, Joanna had already had her own new life, so Cedric should give up.
"Joanna may have started a new life and has a new boyfriend. It's time for you to find a mother for little Kerr. I think Cheryl is very good. She takes good care of Kerr. I believe she will definitely be a good mother." The housekeeper said to Cedric earnestly.
Hearing this, Cedric said indifferently, "You don't have to worry about me. Why Abigail hasn't come back from the Jian Family yet?"
Abigail was very clingy to Tyrone, especially in the past half a year. A week ago, Abigail said that she wanted to live in Tyrone's house, and said that she would come back in a few days. But she hadn't come back after a week.
"Abigail said that she wanted to play in Tyrone's house for a few more days. She won't come back recently." Cedric could do nothing about it. Because he doted on Abigail so much and she was the little princess of the Xis.
"Cedric, it's time to eat." At this time, Cheryl came out of the kitchen with the dishes in her hands.
Cheryl was wearing a country-style floral dress. Her hair was swept back in a ponytail and she wears a little make-up, making her look like a virtuous wife.
The housekeeper looked at Cheryl and nodded with satisfaction. Then, he took Kerr from Cedric's arms.
"Go to eat. I'll take care of Kerr."
The housekeeper said to Cedric with a smile.
He hoped that Cedric could be with Cheryl, so that Kerr would have a mother.
Cedric knew what the housekeeper was thinking.
He frowned and strode to the dinning room. He sat on the table and looked at those dishes with no expression, but he did not say a word nor pick up his chopsticks to eat.
Cheryl sat aside and saw that Cedric didn't eat. She said nervously, "Cedric, don't you have an appetite? Don't you like these dishes I cooked today? Then I'll go and cook again. What do you like to eat?"
Cheryl's tried her best to curry favour with Cedric, which made Cedric a little helpless.
He held his chin, shook his head and said to Cheryl, "Sorry, Cheryl, I don't have an appetite."
