Seeing that they were about to leave, I was a little nervous. However, the one who was more nervous than me was Shelton.
Shelton walked straight over and blocked their way. Although he had a smile on his face, he said in a bad tone, "Patrick, where are you taking my son?"
Patrick responded flatly, "Having fun."
Shelton looked at Patrick and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Patrick, you have never been with a child. There are so many people here. What if you don't pay attention and make Glenn end up being in an accident?"
"He won't."
"How can you be sure of that?"
The two of them stood there. For a time, the atmosphere became tense again.
Back then, Shelton had taken Glenn away. That was why I left Patrick and went to his side instead.
Now Patrick was going to take Glenn away, which Shelton surely would object to.
At this time, in Patrick's arms, Glenn said, "Dad, go ahead with your own business. Don't worry about us. I will take good care of Uncle."
"What's that?"
Looking at Glenn in his arms, Patrick suddenly burst out laughing.
Unexpectedly, Glenn's words made the nervous adults around all burst into laughter.
Even I couldn't help but smile. And I asked Glenn helplessly, "How are you going to take care of him?"
"Well, if there is a bad guy, I will do as Grandpa Ryan taught me. Hit him with the right hook, the upper hook, and then the bottom hook! I will hit the bad guy!"
He gesticulated with his two small hands as he spoke.
He, a little child, waved his little arms from time to time, looking more adorable.
Seeing Glenn like this, Ned couldn't stop laughing, "All right, let them go. There's nothing to be worried about."
"Thank you, Grandpa!" Putting his hands on his mouth, Glenn blew a kiss to Ned and gave another kiss to Shelton, saying, "Dad, don't worry!"
Patrick held Glenn in his arms and left.
Seeing this, Shelton couldn't say anything at all.
I sat there and felt at ease for no reason.
The engagement banquet lasted for more than three hours. When it was about to end, Patrick hadn't brought Glenn back yet.
As Shelton was talking to someone else, I felt a little uneasy in the end.
I got up and went outside to look for them.
I asked a few waiters. In the end, someone told me that they saw Glenn and Patrick go to have fun in the back garden of the restaurant.
It was now the end of January. It was so cold in the back garden. What if Glenn caught a cold?
Moreover, how could the two of them have had fun outside for so long?
I was so worried that I put on a coat and went out.
After taking a detour, I finally took a detour to the back garden. Although it was at night, the back garden was full of lights, illuminating the entire garden very brightly.
Before I could see Glenn, I heard the sounds of his laughter from a distance!
Following the laughter, I walked over. Originally, I thought that they were having fun with something new. However, only after I arrived there did I find that they were having fun in a small maze built with flowers.
The maze was half a meter high.
As Glenn ran back and forth inside, Patrick went to catch him.
Glenn, a child, naturally, couldn't overwhelm Patrick in terms of running. However, each time when Patrick was about to catch Glenn, he would slow down so that Glenn could run over again.
I looked at the father and son from a distance. Playing a simple game, they were enjoying themselves quite much instead
I looked at Glenn, feeling that I was in a trance for a moment.
Since he was a child, he had a lot of thoughts on his mind. Sometimes, he was a little proud. But sometimes, he would take advantage of the fact that he was a child to do something.
He rarely became who he really was and had fun in such a natural way.
At the thought of this, I felt extremely sour in my heart.
