Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Chapter 611: Chapter 611: In the future, it will definitely progress faster than Cindy

Decades later, they would be forced to part.

The time she and Adrian Zhekova had together was so short.

Even before that time came, Cindy Clarke’s heart was already filled with reluctance, as if the time were already imminent.

She was originally quite happy, but now, she felt an sourness in her heart.

While Cindy was suffering, she heard someone crying.

It wasn’t her.

Unexpectedly, it was the usually tear-free little Morgan Zhekova.

Morgan suddenly cried out loud and hugged Adrian Zhekova’s thigh directly.

Adrian Zhekova: “…”

“Morgan?” Cindy called him in surprise, “What’s wrong?”

Rarely, the little guy didn’t come over to hug Cindy but continued to hold on to Adrian Zhekova’s thigh, saying: “Dad, I don’t want you guys to get old, and I don’t want you to leave me, wuwuwuwuwu!”

Cindy was stunned for a moment.

Only then did she realize that the little guy had heard Adrian Zhekova’s words earlier.

He had thought of what they would look like when they got old.

Cindy was both touched and amused.

At such a young age, the little guy was already thinking about the distant future.

Children were different from them.

When adults reach a certain age, they feel the urgency of time.

Time flies by so fast, and in the blink of an eye, a year goes by.

Yet, within that year, it feels like nothing has been accomplished.

In the twinkling of an eye, they keep getting older.

Unknowingly, they reach their old age.

However, children are so small, they always feel that time is not passing fast enough.

They are still so young, wishing they could grow up quickly.

Adulthood seems so far away, let alone the idea of growing old.

For Morgan, this should be a distant event.

Unexpectedly, the little guy was already worried about it first.

Adrian Zhekova even felt somewhat touched.

Despite the little guy’s usual carefree demeanor, when it came to important moments, he really cared about his dad!

Adrian Zhekova suddenly felt a sense of comfort as an old father.

Who would have thought, soon after, he heard Morgan say: “Dad, you’re so much older than Cindy, you’ll definitely leave before Cindy does!”

Adrian Zhekova: “…”

Adrian Zhekova’s eye twitched, and the moving feeling he had before suddenly disappeared.

That stinky kid not only thought about him getting old but also his demise!

“Wuwuwu, I won’t let you go!” The little guy cried again.

Adrian Zhekova’s heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Morgan was reluctant to let go of him, which showed that he still had a conscience.

But the reason for this reluctance made Adrian Zhekova feel bitter.

“It’s okay, don’t cry.” Adrian Zhekova took Morgan off his leg, “It’s still a long way to go, and you don’t have to think about it that far.”

Morgan sniffed and looked up at Adrian Zhekova with his watery eyes.

Adrian Zhekova cleared his throat and said, “I’ll take good care of myself, and I’ll live at least another 50 years. You can rest assured.”

Upon hearing this, the little guy’s mood improved a lot.

He quickly tugged on Cindy’s pants: “Cindy, you have to take good care of yourself, and live at least another 60 years!”

Adrian Zhekova silently made a promise that he would try to live for another 60 years too.

He wasn’t going to leave Cindy behind!

Cindy couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Okay.”

What was originally a touching topic suddenly became a bit sad.

But the direction of the conversation had suddenly become a bit funny.

“Let’s go and choose the photos.” Adrian Zhekova said.

So, the three went back to Cindy’s study room.

Cindy had indeed taken a lot of photos of Morgan.

Each of them took a few albums and selected their favorites. They would then discuss which ones should be chosen.

When Aunt Jenkins came, the three of them were still in Cindy’s study room.

Aunt Jenkins didn’t see anyone and came looking for them.

She heard what seemed to be noises from the second floor and went to check it out.

Fortunately, the door to the study room was not closed.

Adrian Zhekova and Cindy felt that since it was just them at home, there were no outsiders.

Now that the three of them were in the study room, it didn’t matter whether the door was closed or not.

Aunt Jenkins followed the sound, stopped at the door, and knocked on it a few times.

Adrian and the other two looked over.

“Aunt Jenkins is here.” Cindy said with a smile.

“Yes, I just came in and didn’t see anyone. The housekeeper had just called a while ago, and it seemed like he was at home, so I came to check.” Aunt Jenkins laughed.

“We’re selecting photos to hang on the wall.” Cindy explained with a smile.

“I saw, I won’t disturb you then. I bought the ingredients according to the list. Let me know what you want to make tonight, and I’ll prepare it.”

Cindy thought for a moment then listed a few dishes: “Can we have these for tonight?”

Cindy asked for Adrian Zhekova and Morgan’s opinions.

“Sure.” Adrian Zhekova nodded.

He was easy to please, really.

As long as it was cooked by Cindy, he liked it, no matter what it was.

Likewise, the little guy had no objections.

Except for a very few vegetables, the little one was not picky.

So, Aunt Jenkins went downstairs.

Adrian Zhekova, Cindy, and Morgan spent a long time together to choose five satisfactory photos.

These photos were taken when Morgan was just born, and when he was one, two, three, and four years old.

Morgan’s fourth birthday had already passed in June.

At that time, the interaction between Adrian Zhekova and Cindy was not that many.

Although Adrian Zhekova intended to get close to Cindy and spend more time with her.

But at that time, neither of them had openly admitted it.

Adrian Zhekova needed many excuses to look for Cindy.

Moreover, at that time, Adrian Zhekova was not yet sure if Morgan was his son.

This matter had always been a matter of great regret for Adrian Zhekova.

Despite having already met Morgan, his son was right in front of him, but he missed Morgan’s birthday.

He would have to wait until the following year for the next opportunity.

Adrian Zhekova missed Morgan’s birthdays for four years.

These four years were irreplaceable.

“Next year, I’ll throw you a huge birthday party.” Adrian Zhekova said to Morgan.

“The scale of the party doesn’t matter.” Morgan said, “It’s just… it would be good if Great Grandfather, Great Grandmother, Grandfather, Grandmother, Dad, and Cindy are all here! If Derek Smith and the others have time, they can join too.”

The little guy blushed: “As long as the people I love, and those who love me, are all together, that’s good enough.”

Adrian Zhekova smiled and counted Morgan’s fingers: “By then, if we invite Derek and the others, wouldn’t your Uncle Kai and the others have to come too?

“And, this is the first birthday party I’m throwing for my son. Wouldn’t all my friends, your uncles, have to come and join as well?”

“So, when you count them, isn’t the number of people a lot?” Adrian Zhekova said.

“Does the celebration have to be this big?” Cindy felt that Morgan’s birthday should just be a family celebration.
