Chapter 319
After Adrian brought the kids home, he specially invited a chef to cook delicious meals for them and bought a bunch of toys. Because he didn’t know the specific preferences of the two children, and he had never bought toys before, he had someone buy a lot.
This naturally included toys for both girls and boys. The two little ones had never seen such a scene before, so they were amazed when they saw it.
The two turned to Adrian simultaneously, and Ruby asked softly, “Uncle NightA, are all these things for me and my brother p>
“Mhm.” Adrian nodded, “If I want to be your father, I have to show it. This is just the beginning. Do you see anything you like inside p>
After speaking, his big hand covered the backs of the two children and gently pushed them in.
The two little ones entered the room and glanced at each other. After that, Ruby asked Dylan in a low voice, “Brother, can we look at these things?” Dylan could tell that Ruby couldn’t contain herself anymore, and not only her, even he couldn’t resist the temptation of the room filled with toys. After thinking it over, he only said, “Just look, try not to touch them p>
“Don’t touch?” Ruby looked slightly puzzled, “But aren’t these bought by Uncle NightA for us p>
“They are indeed bought by Uncle NightA for us, but Uncle NightA is not our father p>
“But p>
With so many good things in front of them, only being able to look and not touch would be so uncomfortable.
Ruby pouted and finally decided to ignore Dylan. She took the initiative to unpack a toy by herself before Dylan could stop her. When he walked over, the toy was already in Ruby’s hand. “Brother, look quickly p>
Dylan wrinkled his nose, about to say something when Adrian walked over, so he had to hold back his words.
“Do you like this?” Adrian half crouched in front of Ruby, his gaze falling on the airplane model in her hand.
It surprised her. He originally had someone buy it because there was a girl, so those people also prepared things that girls like.
For example, dolls, puppets, and such, Adrian never expected that the first item his daughter chose was actually an airplane model. As expected, after hearing his inquiry, Ruby nodded vigorously. “I like it. Ruby’s dream is to become a pilot when she grows up p>
Hearing this, Adrian raised an eyebrow. “Really cool.” Adrian never expected that Ruby, who appears so gentle in character, would dream of becoming a pilot. But it’s normal for children to have many dreams when they are young, right? Adrian could never have imagined that many years later, his daughter’s dream of becoming a pilot would actually come true, and she would become a cool and stylish pilot. But of course, that’s a story for another time.
Ruby, having her dream affirmed, proudly straightened her chest, but then her excitement faded. “Uncle NightA, but people say it’s difficult be a female pilot p>
“Who said that?” Adrian gently stroked the back of her head. “Don’t listen to those people. As long as Ruby likes it and works hard for it, she will definitely become an excellent female pilot.” “Really p>
“Really p>
“Yay, then I will work hard from now on p>
“Well, then I will buy you more airplane models in the future p>
“Thank you, Uncle NightA.” With affirmation, Ruby cheered and went back to dismantle her airplane model. After she left, Adrian’s gaze shifted towards Dylan, who was standing silently on the side, his emotions particularly reserved. “What about Dylan p>
“Wh-what?” Suddenly called by his name, Dylan became nervous. “Ruby’s dream is to become a pilot, so what about Dylan?” This is probably the first time Adrian has been so patient in talking to a child and actively asking about their dreams. Before, he didn’t even want to listen to other children talk. But now, he eagerly wants to understand these two children who have been absent from his life for five years and wants to know more about them.
Dylan looked away and didn’t face Adrian directly. He muttered, “I haven’t decided yet.” Upon hearing this, Adrian’s gaze fell on Dylan’s small hands that were gripping his clothes, with a meaningful expression in his eyes. “Is it that you haven’t decided, or do you feel there’s no need to tell me? Dylan, it seems like you are starting to distance yourself from me again p>
“No.” Although Dylan denied it, his lowered head and actions indicated that he was resisting Adrian again. He is a very observant child, and although Eva has been trying her best to behave well in front of the children, Dylan must have noticed something, otherwise, he wouldn’t reject someone like this.
What can Adrian do to salvage his image in his son’s heart? Lost in thought, the doorbell rang downstairs. Adrian paused for a moment and then said to Dylan, “It should be your mommy. I’ll go open the door.” Before getting up, Adrian thought of something and said to Dylan, “By the way, you and Ruby don’t have to call NightA uncle anymore. I have a name, you can call me Uncle Adrian p>
After finishing speaking, Adrian got up and went downstairs.
Hearing the continuous ringing of the doorbell, Adrian’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
She was able to enter his house directly yesterday, so she shouldn’t need the door code, right?
Why would she keep ringing the doorbell at this time?
But maybe she’s feeling unsettled because of the child he brought over and deliberately ringing the doorbell to make him open the door. Thinking this way, Adrian was able to understand, and a slight smile appears on his lips.
Her temper is still the same as before, he thought.
So Adrian walked to the door, reached out to unlock and open it, and said in an indulgent tone, “Don’t you have the door code? Why Before he finished speaking, Adrian’s actions suddenly froze, looking at the people standing outside the door, somewhat speechless. “Adrian p>
Standing outside the door were Vivian and his two friends, John and Jason.
At the sight of Adrian, Vivian immediately showed a joyful expression, eager to approach him.
A flicker of sternness flashed through Adrian’s dark eyes, and he took a step back to avoid her touch.
Vivian, who had taken a step forward, froze in place with an unhappy expression on her face.
“Adrian p>
Adrian glanced at her, then looked at the two men behind her, and finally looked at John, “Why are you all here p>
Why would John also come along to join in the fun?
“Adrian, what do you mean by ‘why are you all here’? You disappeared to Chicago without saying a word. We missed you, so we came to see you, is that not allowed?” Jason swiftly spoke up.
