Chapter 1485
'She must really love her husband to still want to wait for him after he abandoned them,'
thought Jeremy.
After musing for a while more, Jeremy stopped and asked Bryan again," Then when do you
plan to switch back places with my son?"
Bryan looked at him with his sad puppy eyes. "Umm... I want to feel what it's like to have a
father for a bit more, so can I stay with you for two more days? You have my word that
Mommy will treat your son very well!"
Jeremy's eyes darkened. ''Why me, of all people? I'm nothing but a cripple who can't even
stand up on his own. You should look for a Daddy who's strong enough to carry you on his
shoulder."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBryan tilted his head out of distress. "Mister, you shouldn't talk like that about yourself. I
think you're very handsome. You're the most handsome man I've ever seen in my life.
You're even more handsome than my uncle! Plus, it's not like you've asked to be
wheelchair-bound. But since there's nothing you can do about it, why not try to live more
positively? My
Mommy taught me to never look down on myself and to always believe I'm the best!"
He placed his hands on his hips and puffed up his chest, almost like a bodybuilder would.
It was endearing, to say the least.
Jeremy could not hold back his chuckle anymore. "Your mother sure knows how to raise
and teach her kids."
Bryan lifted his chin proudly. "Right? My Mommy is the best and the prettiest in this world!
I'm pretty sure you're gonna fall in love with her once you meet her."
Jeremy frowned. 'Fall in love with her? No. I'll never fall in love with anyone in this lifetime.'
Suddenly, the doorbell rang, snapping Jeremy back to the present. He assumed Sophia
had come back and had forgotten to take her keycard with her.
He turned to Bryan and said seriously, "You need to continue calling me ' Daddy' from now
on. Don't let Sophia find out you're not Benjamin, okay?"
Bryan was stunned. He did not understand why he had to do that, but he still nodded
obediently. "Okay, Daddy..."
"Good. You can go back to pretending to be asleep if you feel nervous."
Bryan was indeed nervous. He was worried he would not be able to keep up the act since
he was well aware Jeremy already knew he was not
Benjamin. Thus, he laid back down on the bed and pretended to be asleep.
After making sure the little kid was settled on the bed, Jeremy wheeled him over to open
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe door.
"Back so soon?" he said absent-mindedly as he turned the doorknob.
However, it was not Sophia who had come back. The person who stood outside was taller
and more muscular than her.
Being seated in a wheelchair, Jeremy's eye level was lower than that of an average
person. He did not look up after opening the door, but he soon noticed something was off
when he saw the person was dressed in suit pants and leather shoes.
His pupils shrank, and when he raised his head, he saw a face that was strangely familiar
and unfamiliar.
The man was looking back at him calmly, but Jeremy could not help but feel violent rage
hiding behind those eyes.
Lucas scoffed when he saw how surprised Jeremy looked. "What's the matter? Did you not
think I'll find you?"
