Chapter 22: Expectations on the phone
“Are you serious?” Justin’s voice suddenly became full of surprise and amazement, and his tone was raised much higher.
At this moment Jeffrey clutched the phone, little adult nodded solemnly and said, “Of course it’s true, we kids never lie.”
Although the two are still young, but due to the natural intelligence and the influence of the environment, they will always in many cases will bubble adult-like maturity.
Over the past few days, Jeffrey’s time with Dean Lan has given him a sense of fatherly love that he has never felt before, and he can’t wait to tell Justin about it.
“Also, Dad is exceptionally handsome and doesn’t talk to me harshly at all. I think he likes me a lot, and if you meet him, you’ll definitely like Daddy.”
Jeffrey said in a serious tone, and couldn’t help but cast his eyes on Dean Lan again.
He pursed up his lips and smiled coyly, as if expressing his true feelings in front of Dean Lan made him a little shy.
Yet Justin on the other end of the phone only gave a faint yes, for him he couldn’t truly experience it until he met Dean Lan, despite the indescribable vividness.
“That’s the way it is.” Justin replied faintly, then asked with puzzled curiosity, “But how can you be sure that this man is our father? Maybe it’s just mom to comfort us …”
Speaking of this Justin’s voice is getting smaller and smaller, despite the fact that she is only a few years old, but the long absence of that love in his life often makes him feel melancholy, and his personality has become introverted as he grows up.
Hearing the other party’s resentful tone, Jeffrey, who is relatively lively in nature, said in an innocent tone, “Of course I’m sure, otherwise I wouldn’t have told you the news, and mom didn’t deny this matter, he’s really our dad.”
Jeffrey then patiently explained to Justin the whole story, while Sansa Ran, who was listening, was getting more and more complicated.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
When Dean Lan insisted on taking Jeffrey to the amusement park, she was overwhelmed with resistance, and now that it was difficult to simply tell Justin about it, her resistance was even stronger.
But just as Sansa Ran tried to take Jeffrey’s phone, the little one suddenly looked even happier.
On the other side of the phone, Justin cheered as he listened to Jeffrey’s explanation.
“That’s great, that’s great, we have a dad!” Justin shouted excitedly.
Jeffrey’s emotions were also roused as he smiled and said into the receiver, “Yeah, come back after the game, Mom and Dad promised to take me to the playground!”
The word playground immediately made Justin’s heart even more envious, and he almost wanted to go back to his mom immediately so he could see his dad.
“Then how about you call Daddy now? I want to hear what he sounds like …” Justin said slyly, with anticipation in his voice.
Hearing his request, Jeffrey immediately handed the phone to Dean Lan without a second thought.
“Daddy, Justin wants to hear your voice.” Jeffrey said, his delicate little face full of smiles.
Dean Lan saw the phone he handed over and couldn’t help but freeze, suddenly his heart was also a little nervous.
Although he was now with Jeffrey, but thinking that Justin had never met himself, as a father, Dean Lan did not know how to express his love to him in a short time.
“Is that Justin?” After answering the phone, Dean Lan asked softly in a gentle voice.
Although the answer was self-explanatory, he still wanted to confirm the identity of the person on the other side, as if the child was really standing in front of him at this moment.
“Well!” Justin’s answer was dry and short, his emotional voice fluctuating at the sound of his father’s voice.
After a few seconds of pause, he asked, somewhat cautiously, “Excuse me, are you the father?”
Dean Lan couldn’t help but laugh at these words, as he imagined in his mind how the little one would look when he really saw himself, with a bit of curiosity and awe.
Dean Lan then changed his voice to a more gentle one as he asked with concern, “You should be very uncomfortable going to the competition by yourself, make sure you take good care of yourself.”
There was another brief silence, Justin agreed softly, then lowered his voice as if confiding his heart’s secrets to Dean Lan and said, “Dad, I’m looking forward to seeing you …”
The two little ones are still young, but they can’t enjoy the most common love and care because of their parents.
Dean Lan felt very indebted to his heart, he replied with a guilty face: “I know, in fact, dad also misses you, just …”
He suddenly stopped talking here and subconsciously glanced at Sansa Ran, only then did he realize that her face was a bit off.
Dean Lan sighed softly and carried Jeffrey to his side, then stroked his soft hair and said gently into the receiver, “Justin you be good, and when you get back, Daddy and Mommy will take you two to the playground together.”
“Yes, yes!” Justin was just a kid after all, and once again laughed out loud with excitement when he heard that he was going out to play.
The two talked for a few more minutes before Justin finally Sansa hung up the phone reluctantly.
However, the busy tone just rang out from Dean Lan’s ears, only to see Sansa Ran move swiftly and snatch the phone straight away.
But he was still engrossed in the short conversation with Justin, perhaps because of his guilt, he had an indescribable feeling of sadness for not being able to give Justin his fatherly love.
“Why are you so anxious …,” Dean Lan smiled, gazing at Sansa Ran’s sullen countenance.
“No, I just thought the call was a little long.” Sansa Ran said coldly and put the phone in her hand into her bag.
Dean Lan knew how she was feeling at the moment and wanted to comfort her, so he fell silent.
At that moment, Dean Lan’s cell phone suddenly rang. He looked down and saw Amy’s name on the screen, and knew that there was probably something going on in the company.
He looked down and saw Amy’s name on the screen, and knew that something was going on at the office. When he got through, Amy told him that there was an emergency at the office and asked Dean Lan to come over as soon as possible.
Hanging up the phone, Jeffrey sat next to him and tilted his head, asking with an innocent face, “Daddy, where are you going now?”
Dean Lan smiled and nudged his nose and said, “Daddy is an adult so he needs to work, so I’ll be with you when I’m done, okay?”
Hearing this, Jeffrey’s expression couldn’t help but feel a little lost, but he still smiled nicely and replied, “Okay, then I’ll wait until Daddy is done with work.”
Dean Lan nodded, thinking that time was indeed tight over at the company, and decided to send them back first, mother and son.
