Anthea couldn't help but squat down.
The whites of the child's eyes were relatively few, so his eyes were even darker and brighter, as shiny as gems.
When Anthea was stared at by such a pair of eyes, her whole heart was soft.
"Yes, well take you home!" Anthea gently took the little boy's little hand. She smiled and said, "Dear Erik, welcome!"
Erik let go of the dean's hand and got close to her.
He looked up at the tall Adam and then at Anthea. The boy was a little shy and asked in a low voice, "Can I call your dad and mom?"
Anthea nodded. "Of course!"
This was what she wished for!
After getting permission, the little boy opened his small mouth and called in a sweet voice, "Mommy and Daddy!"
Anthea was excited in her heart.
She had lost the chance to be called mom. Now when she heard the boy's soft and crisp voice, her tears almost came out.
Anthea held the little boy tightly in her arms.
Adam, who was beside, took them into his arms.
The little boy was hugged by them and smiled very brightly. He cheered happily. "Great! I have a dad and mom!"
After completing the admission procedure, they left the welfare house.
Anthea was afraid that the boy would be shy with strangers, so she sat with him and whispered to him.
Perhaps because he had been in the welfare house since he was a child, the little boy was very clever and sensible. After sitting on Anthea's laps for a while, he climbed to sit on the chair himself, afraid that his new mother would be tired.
Anthea couldn't take her eyes off the child.
Although the little boy was young, his facial features were very three-dimensional. He had thick small eyebrows, a pair of bright black eyes, a tall and straight nose, and thin lips. He was very handsome.
Anthea couldn't help patting the back of the chair in front of her and said with expectation in her starry eyes. "Adam, I think this child will be more handsome than you in the future!"
Adam suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
Could he get another kid?
Erik was sunny and obedient, and soon he was integrated into the family.
There was also a baby dog at home. The two little guys were particularly fit, and the house was filled with happy laughter every day.
On Saturday, the family of three, together with Bellamy and his wife, left for the town.
The Chin family and the Lee family would meet formally and discuss the matter of the wedding.
In the biggest restaurant in the town, the two familes sat together, looking very lively. With a child, it was easy to make the atmosphere relaxed and happy.
Both of the elders of the two families supported their adoption of a child.
Since Bellamy was willing to let Anthea be his daughter-in-law, he had accepted her from the bottom of his heart. It did not matter even if she could not bear any child. He had once mentioned it when he persuaded her to leave, but he did that just because he wanted to find an excuse to separate them.
Erick soon won the favor of all elders. Before the dishes were served, his pocket was filled with red packets.
The happy family was reflected on the glass of the window.
Standing in it, Anthea only felt that her life was very perfect.
She didn't expect God to make a better arrangement for her. When she went to the bathroom halfway, she unexpectedly received a phone call.
Anthea showed a surprised expression on her face, and asked happily, "Really?"
Hanging up the phone, she smiled.
A big hand appeared on her shoulder. Because she did not return to the room for a long time, Adam came out to look for her. "What's wrong?"
Anthea opened her mouth and wanted to tell him, but she stopped on a second thought.
Rolling her eyes, she smiled and shook her head.
