He glanced at Leopold, who was busy with his work. Only a frenzy of tasks could bring a momentary peace to his tormented heart.
William was bold and gregarious. Although this stranger was icy cold, he didn't feel scared or reserved.
"Dad, when will we reach Elysium?" he asked.
"Tomorrow morning," Leopold replied flatly.
William swung his tiny feet, "Are you going to work all the time?"
Leopold stopped typing and looked at him, "Why aren't you reading?"
Kane would quietly read or code on the plane, but William didn't like reading, he loved to play!
"I don't want to read." He unbuckled his seatbelt, stood up, and began to wander around the cabin, singing a nursery rhyme, "The man on the flying trapeze…”
Laura came over with a fruit platter, smiling. In her opinion, a child’s demeanor could change, and it was normal for Kane to suddenly become lively.
"Kane, come and have some fruit."
William walked over, picked up a strawberry and put it in his mouth, then walked over to Leopold, "Dad, you're so dull, no wonder mom doesn't like you."
Leopold's weak point was hit again, tugging at his heart. He closed his laptop, picked him up, and put him on the adjacent seat.
"Am I dull?"
William tilted his head, looking at him, "Can you tell jokes?"
Leopold was silent; he wasn't that juvenile.
"Can you cook tasty food?"
Leopold choked; he didn't have the leisure time for that.
