Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 2131

The couple did not stay idle, but they took the child to the mall and went nuts on buying clothes, a small bed, and all sorts for the child. When it was time for lunch, they brought the child to a place that was favored by all children. They seemed like a typical family of three. Vireo suddenly felt a sense of happiness in a daze. From then on, he would be the child's father.

He gently and generously served the food to the child and then gently wiped the corners of his mouth for him. However, the child seemed to still resist him very much. On the contrary, the child was not estranged from his newly gotten mother at all and he got close to her very quickly. He kept calling for his mother, which made Vireo jealous.

When he saw the mother and son duo walking in front while laughing and holding hands, Vireo, who was carrying bags of clothes he bought for the child and the woman, also felt very touched. That night, the couple helped the child decorate his room and also make the new bed. In an instant, the house became more lively.

When Vireo wanted to bring Mira out of the child's room, the child, who was lying on the bed, suddenly grabbed Mira's hand. "Mom, don't go. Tell me a story... a bedtime story, alright?"

The six-year-old child actually had tears welled up in his eyes just because he wanted to listen to a bedtime story. When Vireo saw the way the child looked, he felt incomparably heartbroken. Vireo was also an adopted child. He had been longing to be loved and to blend into the family.

Before Mira said anything, Vireo touched the child's head in a gentle manner. "Your mother and I will sit o n either end beside you to tell you a story and watch you go to sleep, alright? Tell us, what story do you want to listen to?"

He originally thought that after spending a whole afternoon with the child, they would more or less be a little familiar with each other, so the child should also not be defensive of him anymore. However, what he did not expect was that the child still ignored him. The child simply looked at Mira.

Mira smiled. "Vireo, he is a child and he grew up at the orphanage. Maybe he is dependent on me because I a m a woman. Children at such a young age certainly would be relying on their mother. You can first go to bed. I'll tell him a story and put him to bed. After all, this is his first day in our house. Alright?"

Mira was very gentle with Vireo, which had never happened before.

Vireo then nodded gently. "Alright."

He thought to himself that everything takes time and could not be rushed. He would be a good father. He would use his love to get through to the child. After that, he would raise the child to be the future of the nation. He had absolute confidence.

Just like that, day after day, Vireo showed his patience and gave the child his fatherly love. He cared for the child very much. It was to the extent that because of this child, even if it was tough and tiring, even if he was only done with his operations at midnight, he always chose to go home. All for the sake of taking another look at the child.

However, after half a year, the child's opinion on Vireo still did not change much. From time to time, the child would apologize to Vireo. He still would not call Vireo " Dad". Vireo was disappointed, but once he thought of the fact that the child had grown up at the orphanage, he thought that the child may have already experienced all the difficulties in life at the tender age of six. Therefore, it was not so easy for him to open up to others. Vireo still needed to slowly get through to him.

Besides, there was still some hope for Viero. At the very least, the child's hostility towards him had already reduced very much. From time to time, he actually would even look at Vireo with an apologetic gaze. That was already very good. Vireo was very relieved. He was thinking that one day, he certainly would be able to get through to his son. That was simply his loved one for life.

In the morning, he still went out of his way to personally drive his child to school. When they were leaving the house, he did not even let the child carry his own bag, but Vireo, who was the father, helped the child carry his bag instead. The father and son, who were not quite on the same page, walked through the thick snow towards the parking lot early in the morning. Before they got to their car, they saw a man, who seemed to be in dire straits, standing in front of them.

The man looked at Vireo with hostility. "Payne, are you happy being a father to someone else's child? Don't you think it's shameful?"
