Come on Daddy!

Chapter 422 Their Story

Chapter 422 Their Story

Matthew looked at his son's tender face and eager eyes with mixed feelings.

He didn't know how he was going to tell Wyatt about his mother.

He couldn't say it, and didn't want to.

In the past, Wyatt was young and easy to cheat. But now, he grew up day by day and knew more things. Some of his words could no longer fool him.

"Daddy is sleepy. Let's go to bed together." Matthew had no choice but to avoid the question and change the subject.

He picked up Wyatt and headed for the bedroom, placing Wyatt on the cute children's bed.

Matthew sat on the edge of the bed and reached over to stroke the top of Wyatt's head, "Sleep. Daddy will be here with you."

"Daddy, is it true that Mommy doesn't want us?" Wyatt mustered the courage to ask this question once more.

He stared at Matthew with round eyes, hoping that Matthew could answer him.

Matthew thought for a long time before he said, "It's not that Mommy doesn't want us. She just can't live with us anymore."

"Why?" Wyatt asked, "Does Mommy have a new family and other babies? So... she doesn't love me. Am I superfluous?"

Matthew felt heartbroken when he heard Wyatt thinking this about himself, "Honey, it's not like that. You are Daddy's favorite baby. How can you be superfluous? Don't think nonsense."

"I'm just your baby, but not Mommy's." Wyatt still couldn't get over it, "Daddy, is it because I was not good that Mommy got angry and left? I'll be good from now on. Will she come back?"

"No." Matthew didn't want Wyatt to take the blame on himself, "It really has nothing to do with you. This is a problem between Daddy and Mommy. Don't blame yourself."

"Daddy, I want a Mommy." Wyatt was envious that everyone else had a mother, especially the gentle Rose, "I want a Mommy who is as gentle as Aunt Rose. I want to have my Mommy's love like Doris. I... don't want to be teased by others that I am a child without a Mommy."

Every word Wyatt said was from his heart. He was heartbroken and sad, and eager.

Matthew reached out to hug Wyatt and comforted him, "It's Daddy's fault. But Daddy has to tell you the truth. You are a child with a Mommy. But your Mommy has left us to go to another world. So, she will never come back...."

Wyatt's tiny body stiffened in Matthew's arms.

"But Daddy will love you twice as much." Matthew knew this would break Wyatt's heart and his hopes. But he had to do this.

Maybe Wyatt would be sad at the moment. But he would be fine after a while. He was a child after all. Neither the happiness nor the unhappiness would stay in his heart for long.

"Yes, Daddy, I know." Wyatt said in his arms.

"Then sleep." Matthew tucked him in again.

After Wyatt fell asleep again, he got up and left for a rest.

Matthew went to work the next day and met Rose in front of the elevator. They took the elevator up together.

"You look pale and have dark circles under your eyes. Didn't you sleep well last night?" Rose saw that his eyes were slightly red and bloodshot.

Matthew frowned, "Is it so obvious?"

"Everyone can see it." Rose teased him, "What's bothering Mr. Matthew so much? Why don't you tell me? Maybe I can help you."

Matthew stared at Rose deeply, "Is Mrs. Lee so gossipy? Aren't you afraid that Mr. Bright might get angry?”

"He won't be jealous of you." Rose thought it was no big deal.

When the elevator reached the floor where the design department was, Rose waved at him, "Mr. Matthew, goodbye."

"Don't you want to hear the gossip? Come with me." Matthew was upset and wanted to talk to someone. Rose was indeed a good listener.

Rose smiled lightly, stopped, and came to the twenty-second floor with Matthew.

Along the way, the employees greeted Matthew and Rose. They entered his office together.

"There is 15 minutes before the morning meeting." Rose sat down inside the couch and raised her wrist to check the time.

Matthew had two cups of coffee made and took off his suit jacket, then sat down on the couch.

"I know the waiter we met in the restaurant yesterday." Matthew said after a long silence and hesitation.

"I can see that." Rose looked at him, "Did you get involved with her? Or is she your ex-wife?"

Matthew raised his eyebrows gently and looked at Rose meaningfully, "Are you really not a journalist?"

"I'm just intuitive." Rose said, "Everyone thought you were very strange when we got back from lunch yesterday. I concluded that you may have some relations with that beautiful woman by a process of elimination."

"We did have some entanglements. But she's not my ex-wife." Matthew denied Lana's identity while admitting their past.

"She's not your ex-wife?" Rose was surprised, "That time in the underground parking lot, Wyatt seemed to call her Mommy."

"Because Wyatt had accidentally seen a few pictures of her that I had forgotten to put away. He thought she was his Mommy." Matthew was helpless. He had explained, but Wyatt just wouldn't listen to him, "I wasn't married."

Rose picked up her coffee and looked at him, "Mr. Matthew, I'm really more curious about your past. So is Wyatt your child with her?"

"I claimed to be divorced because I didn't want Wyatt to have a reputation as an illegitimate child." Matthew sighed slightly, "I used to be a teacher at a university. Lana happened to be in college that year.

She was so beautiful that she had many suitors. Some of them used dirty tricks to get her. I happened to meet her and save her. Later, she invited me to dinner to thank me, and often ask me for advice. Gradually, we became familiar.

We liked each other, but no one said it out loud. We just got along like friends. Later, when she was a sophomore, someone reported me to seduce my student. I was suspended from class for investigation because the reporter provided a picture of me and her kissing after drinking. The evidence was conclusive.

The consequence was very serious. The school was going to fire me. When she knew about it, she went to the school leaders and said that I didn't seduce her, that she was my girlfriend. We were unmarried men and women and it was normal for us to be together.

But after all, I was a teacher. My affair had a bad influence on the school and did not want to affect her future studies. So, I resigned and left, going back to my hometown to start over.

I didn't expect Lana to come to me during that winter break. Looking at her red face, I had a thought that I would protect her for the rest of my life and not let her get hurt in any way."
