Chapter 147: Chapter 147
Nolan Shaw stood at the door, looking at the dim eyes of Landon Lawson. Ever since Miles Grant left, he seemed distracted, and those once deep eyes gazed into the distance, appearing lost. Discover more novels at NoveIFire.net
"President Lawson, it’s time for you to leave work."
Landon Lawson nodded. If he hadn’t known that Miles Grant was coming, he would have left work and gone home long ago.
Watching the sky outside gradually darkening and turning grey, Landon Lawson turned around to leave but suddenly paused, speaking slowly, "What day is it today?"
"Today is Thursday, tomorrow is Friday. It’s time to pick up Chloe. Will you be going, President Lawson?"
Landon Lawson calculated the days. He and Evan Quinn had previously reached an agreement that their family of three would have a reunion dinner at least once a week. Later, Sienna Quinn also agreed, just to give him a complete childhood.
Tomorrow night, he could see Sienna Quinn again.
Thinking of this, Landon Lawson’s lips slowly curved up, and a touch of tenderness passed through his eyes.
"Finally, it’s the weekend!" Evan Quinn had only this thought in his mind all Friday; only then could he do what he loved, a day he had been waiting for for a long time.
For Evan Quinn, who didn’t usually like napping, taking a nap was like climbing a mountain.
"Evan Quinn, why are you still not sleeping? You’ll be tired in the afternoon again, hurry up and close your eyes and sleep!"
Upon hearing Teacher Cole’s voice, he wisely closed his eyes, unable to contain an indescribable excitement, his squinted eyes filled with laughter,
"Tomorrow I can be with Daddy and Mommy, they can be with me all day, and I don’t have to take a nap tomorrow. It’s simply a perfect day, so happy..."
Thinking about it, since he’s still a child, he fell asleep on the warm bed, with a smile of happiness on his lips, surely dreaming of their family of three being together.
Having grown up without a father, he longed to know who his real father was. Returning to the country, he didn’t expect things to progress so quickly; not only did he find out who his father was, but now there’s a chance for Daddy and Mommy to reunite. How could he not be excited?
Teacher Cole woke up each child, but Evan Quinn was difficult to wake. This little one was good at everything, but once asleep, waking him was the biggest challenge.
Especially since Evan Quinn was dreaming such a sweet dream.
Dreaming of his favorite happy family life, for a child who grew up only with Mommy, Evan admired his mysterious Daddy but also felt a sense of repulsion towards him.
His Mommy was so good; why did he leave her?
Checking online for information about Landon Lawson, every report on this business genius, Evan Quinn would look in the mirror and pinch his little face. The man who resembled him to some extent was really his Daddy? He could hardly believe it.
It’s often said that appearance reflects the heart. Although Landon Lawson looked icy, he wasn’t truly cold-hearted.
At that time, he wondered if there was a misunderstanding between him and Mommy. If there was indeed a misunderstanding, would resolving it mean the three of them could live together as a family? But various reasons led to Sienna refusing to acknowledge Landon Lawson, and there was Vera Yates, messing things up.
Every time there was a little improvement, that woman would destroy it. Mommy, who was jealous and couldn’t see Daddy’s affection for her, made Evan Quinn worn out.
In the end, Evan Quinn resorted to acting spoiled, which finally led to an agreement for them to spend the weekends together.
"Chloe, it’s time to wake up, hurry and get up..." Teacher Cole gently called him by his ear.
In the afternoon, Evan Quinn was absent-minded, even during activities staying silent, sitting on a small bench, eyes occasionally peeking out the window.
Chloe, from a distance, watched Evan Quinn in secret, wanting several times to approach and talk to him but didn’t dare due to his silent demeanor that intimidated, with a chilly aura that kept people away.
Teacher Cole looked at Evan Quinn strangely, remarking, "Truly like a mold-copy, even the aura is identical."
Teacher Cole walked over, observing the unusually quiet Evan Quinn, saying, "Is there something wrong? Why not play with everyone else?"
"I’m fine, just waiting for my Daddy and Mommy. Maybe they will come to pick me up early."
The uncharacteristic composure and calmness for his age surprised Teacher Cole. It was quite challenging to get words out of Evan Quinn.
Teacher Cole listened to Evan Quinn’s words, feeling slightly curious.
The relationship between Sienna and Landon Lawson was widely rumored online; surely everyone knew they were once married.
Landon Lawson was now Vera Yates’ boyfriend, and with their family frequently seen out playing, rumors had already spread about Landon wanting to reconcile with his ex-wife.
Though puzzled, Evan Quinn was just a child. Even if curious about gossip, no one would ask a child since they were considered innocent.
Mentioning Vera Yates, Teacher Cole wondered if it was just their imagination, consistently feeling that the woman wasn’t as simple as she seemed.
The last time, she brought toys to the kindergarten, claiming she was entrusted by Sienna, but when Teacher Cole wanted to call Sienna, Vera objected. If they were good friends, how could such a thing happen? Everything seemed so peculiar.
An ear-piercing brake sounded outside the kindergarten gate.
A black car stopped at the door, and Evan Quinn ran out excitedly, "Daddy, Daddy..."
He ran to Landon Lawson, tightly clutching his coat. That small soft body was adorably cute. Typically stern and silent, Landon Lawson, in Evan Quinn’s excitement, seemed to find the essence of life. Despite his sharpness, he found it hard to fathom Evan Quinn’s thoughts.
Evan Quinn smiled sweetly at Landon, glancing around but not seeing Sienna’s figure. His brow furrowed slightly, and the playful cuteness on his face quickly vanished.
Landon watched Evan Quinn’s facial expressions change, smirking playfully, realizing this little guy indeed had other hidden plans.
Landon narrowed his eyes, trying to discern the little one’s thoughts. Evan Quinn furrowed his brow, asking, "My mommy didn’t come?"
"She didn’t come!" Landon’s cold voice resonated. His beautiful eyes held a trace of amusement.
