Chapter 1505 – Thoughtful
No matter how smart he is, he is just a child.
And it was only natural that a child who had previously been deprived of his father’s love would be hostile to him.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
With this in mind, Cristian’s face softened a little and he said, “Get up.”
Manuel did not move, so Cristian sighed and squatted down in front of him, “Come, Daddy will hold you.”
The words were sweet and spoke into Manuel’s heart.
She really just wanted to shake Cristian and make him feel sorry for him, but she did not expect him to say that to himself.
So all of a sudden, Manuel could not stand it and his nose became inflamed.
His nose hurt, and Manuel was a little annoyed that he had to say such a thing to his father. He was a man, how embarrassing would it be if he cried?
Thinking about this, Manuel immediately lowered his head again.
But Cristian had already seen it.
Cristian had not expected him to cry at his own words, and his heart felt like it was being tugged by a big hand.
He reached out his hand, squeezed Manuel’s small arm, and lifted him up.
Although Manuel had become very tall, so tall that Serena could not even pick him up now, it was still easy for Cristian .
So when Manuel was picked up by Cristian, Manuel’s face immediately changed.
“Let go, Dad, let go, Manuel doesn’t want to be carried.
This is the entrance to the school, people come and go, dad is holding him like this, what if people see him?
Manuel did not want to be seen by his classmates as a child who still needed to be held by his daddy.
So he continued to struggle, but Cristian was too strong and he struggled so hard that Cristian only slapped him on the buttocks.
“What’s all the fuss? I’m your old man, what’s wrong with being hugged by your old man?”
Manuel was slapped on the buttocks and immediately stopped struggling, his body in a rigid position, but his face quickly turned red.
“Shame!”
“Shame? What is there to be ashamed of?”
Cristian said indifferently, “How old are you? Are you this tall and embarrassed to be hugged by your old man?”
Manuel did not struggle anymore, but his face remained red.
Seeing his face swell, Cristian half-opened his lips, sighed and released him, squatting down in front of him, “Then we’ll talk like this, okay?”
Manuel remained silent.
“It was my fault for what happened before. It was also Dad’s fault for not being involved in your past with Mom and for forcibly stealing Mom from you anyway, can you forgive Dad now that he knows he was wrong?”
When he said these words, Cristian initially thought he would have difficulty saying them, even thought he would not be able to say them.
But when he saw Manuel’s red eyes, he realized that he was now a father.
Manuel and Lea, his and Serena’s treasures, were a gift from heaven.
“You, Lea and your mom are Daddy’s most important treasures, and no matter what happens, Daddy will always be there. Your mom and I also discussed last night that you and Lea will be the main ones from now on when you are adults.”
Manuel blinked, “Really? Dad won’t stop me from getting close to Mom again?”
“Yes.” Cristian relented, “I won’t, you’re still young, you can stay close to her if you want, and of course you can cling to Dad, you can even go to the office with him every day from now on.”
“Really?” Manuel blinked and asked with an innocent look on his face, “Then Dad can give me a place in the company?”
At that point, Cristian’s face changed a little.
“A position? You are so young, what can you do?”
Cristian did not accept his request, “Besides, you have to study, you don’t have time to go to the office.”
“Stupid of a dad, so what you just said was just a child’s joke, I don’t want to cling to you and I’ll cling to mom again, leave Manuel alone to fend for himself.”
In fact, knowing full well that the boy in front of him was full of schemes, Cristian was still very tender at this moment, and could only insist, “Okay, okay, I’ll give you a place in the company, but you can’t joke.”
“Dad is really mean as hell, if he was grandfather, he would have given me all the company without a second thought.”
“Your grandfather has no one to support, and your father has to make money to give to your mother, you and Lea, can it be the same?”
“Hm.”
Then father and son negotiated a deal, Cristian gave him a position in the company, but only a name, no real power, and he had to give Manuel pocket money every month before the deal was finally done.
After this, Manuel did not see Angelica for a week, although he thought she was pretty, but he did not have the heart to look for her if she did not want to come.
It was only a week later that Fiona could not resist her daughter’s request and came to the door, saying that Angelica had been clamoring to come and play with her brother since she had returned that day, and that she had been asking every day.
After hearing this, Serena was in tears.
“Fiona, let Angelica come and play from now on, you can bring her here when you’re free, it’s okay, I’m bored enough with Lea at home alone all day.”
Actually she was trying to work, Lea was now a year old and didn’t need constant attention like she did when she was a baby, and Lea had always been well behaved.
When she’s asleep she’s a good sleeper, when she wakes up she’s there playing with her fingers, looking at the ceiling, and she still doesn’t fuss. Except when she pees or poops and feels uncomfortable, then Serena changes her diaper and she is calm again.
All in all, according to Serena, she is a bit human, but she is quite clean and nice.
It’s just that Cristian doesn’t want her to go to the office, he wants her to be a full-time wife at home.
But Serena, being a full-time wife, doesn’t have to do much: Villa Atlantic has an inexhaustible supply of maids who clean the house every day and prepare all the meals at mealtime, so she doesn’t have to do anything.
So sometimes she gets bored and it would be nice if Angelica could come and keep her company.
Fiona, on the other hand, was embarrassed that the two families were so different and feared giving the impression that she was taking advantage by bringing her daughter to their home so often.
“I am very sorry Mrs. Ferrari, certainly it would be very intrusive for you if Angelica came too often, and I take the children myself, so …”
Serena’s mind is clear, even if Fiona doesn’t say it, she understands what Fiona is thinking, so she smiles slightly, “Actually you don’t have to worry, we in the Ferrari family don’t have these kinds of ideas, and also the children are very simple, they simply love Manuel.”
