Chapter 587: Chapter 587: Missing Daddy Lu?
Watching their brother and sister having a blast, Jack and Chad Thompson couldn’t help but feel a little down.
They held each other’s hands and sat on the side, the sight of them was pitiful, much like children left behind.
"Brother, actually, I think Dad Adam is better."
Jack leaned into Chad’s ear, speaking softly, a hint of grievance creeping into his voice.
Chad was silent for a while. The words that Adam Ross had said to them previously flashed through his mind, leaving a complex feeling in his chest.
"But our brother and sister are having so much fun with him. We can’t just go up and say that, it’ll be a real killjoy. They would be upset then."
Chad gave Jack’s little hand a squeeze, his voice carrying a touch of hesitation.
Adam Ross was their biological father, and he used to take great care of them.
But the fact that Justin could remember their each and every interest down to the exact detail left them wavering. At this moment, if they bluntly said their thoughts, would their mother also be upset?
"Brother, how about this? Let’s call Dad Adam."
Jack’s eyes widened. A glimmer of joy flashed through his clear eyes. Clearly, he was delighted by this idea, and a wave of excitement crossed his face.
Chad, who was immersed in his thoughts, agreed upon hearing his brother’s suggestion. He reached out to ruffle Jack’s hair, tousling it gently.
The two of them observed the situation. They saw that Justin was playing Lego with their siblings, so they held hands, hoping to quietly move away. But before they could take a few steps, a pair of leather shoes entered their view.
Looking up, they found themselves looking into Justin’s unfathomable black eyes, his simple gaze, gently curved lips.
Although with a rugged demeanor, unlike Adam’s soft femininity, Justin still made Jack and Chad feel oddly nervous despite his warm smile.
Their little hands clenched together instinctively, clutching the corners of their own clothing as they blinked, too afraid to look up at the person in front of them.
"What’s wrong?"
Thinking of what Charlotte had said to him, Justin bent down and softly asked the two children before him.
He appeared so unexpectedly gentle and pleasant.
"We...we want to go back to our room."
Jack’s voice was barely a whisper, his timid demeanor gave Justin an instant realization.
"Are you missing Dad Adam?" Justin raised his hand to touch Jack’s head, a tender gesture.
"How...how did you know?" Chad’s eyes widened, the realization that this man had seemingly read their minds left him somewhat panicked.
"It’s okay. Adam might be your biological dad, but if you’re not opposed to it, I can also be your father. Adam and I are good friends, so if you miss him, I can take you to see him later."
Justin prided himself on being invincible in the business world, but here with these children, he tread lightly.
Upon hearing his words, Jack and Chad exchanged a glance. Both brothers saw the unhidden emotion in each other’s eyes.
They knew they’d accept whoever their mother chose to be their father, but the man named Justin, who’d considered their worries so thoroughly, surprised them.
"Really?"
Jacks’s eyes filled with moisture. Unlike his resilient brother, the tears welled up in his eyes at Justin’s words.
