Chapter 639: Chapter 639: Are You Willing to Live with Dad?
At this, a flicker of delight flashed through the children’s eyes and they eagerly nodded their agreement.
A pleasant smile tugged at the corners of Adam’s lips as he stood up, took the children by their hands, and turned to Jordan, who was standing by the door. "I’m taking the children out for the day. Make sure you let your sister know," he said.
Jordan nodded in acknowledgment. "Don’t worry, I’ll tell her. Also, be careful," he said, as Adam left with the two children.
In the car, Chad, sitting in the backseat, leaned against the window in excitement. "Where are we going to play?" he asked.
Fully prepared, Adam replied with a joyful smile, "Water park, amusement park, anything."
He had spent the previous night having his assistant compile a list of places that children would enjoy visiting. Working late into the night, his assistant had searched the internet and finally sent over a document.
Upon hearing this, Jack’s eyes lit up, and he enthusiastically nodded.
After spending the entire day with the children, Adam took them to a children’s restaurant as the evening drew near.
Inside the restaurant...
"What would you like to eat?"
The man flipped through the menu and looked across the table at the children.
On the other side, after moistening his lips, Chad replied, still somewhat excited, "Anything."
He pondered a little and then gave Adam an inquisitive look. "Why did you bring us out alone this time without telling Mommy?"
At this, Jack also turned his eyes towards Adam.
As Adam randomly picked out a few dishes and was met with the children’s gaze, he paused for a few seconds, his eyes reflecting complexity.
After some consideration, he finally asked, "How would you feel about living with Daddy?"
The children were stunned by this news, unable to formulate a response.
The setting sun shone through the windows, momentarily blinding Chad.
He rubbed his stinging eyes. His voice was faint, but he didn’t shy away from the truth. "I don’t know," he confessed.
On the side, Jack was looking equally struggling.
Though the children had wished for a day when Adam would take them away and live together, they never thought it would happen so soon.
Even though they thought they were prepared, when the moment came they were still utterly lost and... scared.
Adam saw the conflict in the children’s faces and, not being able to bear it, looked away.
Once all the dishes were served by the waiter, he rubbed his temples, sounding a bit weary. "Chad, Jack, don’t think too much about it right now. Let’s eat."
But at this moment, how could the children have the appetite to eat?
Absent-mindedly picking at their food a few times, they soon put down their chopsticks.
Adam gazed upon them with a deep look in his eyes. Finally, without saying anything, he let out a sigh and suggested, "Let me take you home."
After dropping the children off at Charlotte’s apartment, Adam was just turning around when he bumped into Charlotte, who’d just gotten off work.
Behind Charlotte, Justin Battleson followed. Upon seeing Adam, he raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Adam gave a slight nod, a smile playing at his lips. "Second Brother," he greeted.
The latter nodded in return. Charlotte glanced at the two children standing by the door.
It had indeed been quite a while since the children last saw Justin, so taking them out for a day was understandable.
Charlotte smiled, switching her bag to the other hand, and asked, "Won’t you come in for some dinner?"
