Chapter 422
\nCome on Daddy (Bright and Rose) novel Chapter 422<\/p>\n
Matthew looked at his son’s tender face and eager eyes with mixed feelings.<\/p>\n
He didn’t know how he was going to tell Wyatt about his mother.<\/p>\n
He couldn’t say it, and didn’t want to.<\/p>\n
In the past, Wyatt was young and easy to cheat. But now, he grew up day by day and knew more things. Some of his words could no longer fool him.<\/p>\n
“Daddy is sleepy. Let’s go to bed together.” Matthew had no choice but to avoid the question and change the subject.<\/p>\n
He picked up Wyatt and headed for the bedroom, placing Wyatt on the cute children’s bed.<\/p>\n
Matthew sat on the edge of the bed and reached over to stroke the top of Wyatt’s head, “Sleep. Daddy will be here with you.”<\/p>\n
“Daddy, is it true that Mommy doesn’t want us?” Wyatt mustered the courage to ask this question once more.<\/p>\n
He stared at Matthew with round eyes, hoping that Matthew could answer him.<\/p>\n
Matthew thought for a long time before he said, “It’s not that Mommy doesn’t want us. She just can’t live with us anymore.”<\/p>\n
“Why?” Wyatt asked, “Does Mommy have a new family and other babies? So… she doesn’t love me. Am I superfluous?”<\/p>\n
Matthew felt heartbroken when he heard Wyatt thinking this about himself, “Honey, it’s not like that. You are Daddy’s favorite baby. How can you be superfluous? Don’t think nonsense.”<\/p>\n
“I’m just your baby, but not Mommy’s.” Wyatt still couldn’t get over it, “Daddy, is it because I was not good that Mommy got angry and left? I’ll be good from now on. Will she come back?”<\/p>\n
“No.” Matthew didn’t want Wyatt to take the blame on himself, “It really has nothing to do with you. This is a problem between Daddy and Mommy. Don’t blame yourself.”<\/p>\n
“Daddy, I want a Mommy.” Wyatt was envious that everyone else had a mother, especially the gentle Rose, “I want a Mommy who is as gentle as Aunt Rose. I want to have my Mommy’s love like Doris. I… don’t want to be teased by others that I am a child without a Mommy.”<\/p>\n
Every word Wyatt said was from his heart. He was heartbroken and sad, and eager.<\/p>\n
Matthew reached out to hug Wyatt and comforted him, “It’s Daddy’s fault. But Daddy has to tell you the truth. You are a child with a Mommy. But your Mommy has left us to go to another world. So, she will never come back….”<\/p>\n
Wyatt’s tiny body stiffened in Matthew’s arms.<\/p>\n
“But Daddy will love you twice as much.” Matthew knew this would break Wyatt’s heart and his hopes. But he had to do this.<\/p>\n
Maybe Wyatt would be sad at the moment. But he would be fine after a while. He was a child after all. Neither the happiness nor the unhappiness would stay in his heart for long.<\/p>\n
“Yes, Daddy, I know.” Wyatt said in his arms.<\/p>\n
“Then sleep.” Matthew tucked him in again.<\/p>\n
After Wyatt fell asleep again, he got up and left for a rest.<\/p>\n
Matthew went to work the next day and met Rose in front of the elevator. They took the elevator up together.<\/p>\n
Matthew raised his eyebrows gently and looked at Rose meaningfully, “Are you really not a journalist?”<\/p>\n
“I’m just intuitive.” Rose said, “Everyone thought you were very strange when we got back from lunch yesterday. I concluded that you may have some relations with that beautiful woman by a process of elimination.”<\/p>\n
“We did have some entanglements. But she’s not my ex-wife.” Matthew denied Lana’s identity while admitting their past.<\/p>\n
“She’s not your ex-wife?” Rose was surprised, “That time in the underground parking lot, Wyatt seemed to call her Mommy.”<\/p>\n
“Because Wyatt had accidentally seen a few pictures of her that I had forgotten to put away. He thought she was his Mommy.” Matthew was helpless. He had explained, but Wyatt just wouldn’t listen to him, “I wasn’t married.”<\/p>\n
Rose picked up her coffee and looked at him, “Mr. Matthew, I’m really more curious about your past. So is Wyatt your child with her?”<\/p>\n
“I claimed to be divorced because I didn’t want Wyatt to have a reputation as an illegitimate child.” Matthew sighed slightly, “I used to be a teacher at a university. Lana happened to be in college that year.<\/p>\n
She was so beautiful that she had many suitors. Some of them used dirty tricks to get her. I happened to meet her and save her. Later, she invited me to dinner to thank me, and often ask me for advice. Gradually, we became familiar.<\/p>\n
We liked each other, but no one said it out loud. We just got along like friends. Later, when she was a sophomore, someone reported me to seduce my student. I was suspended from class for investigation because the reporter provided a picture of me and her kissing after drinking. The evidence was conclusive.<\/p>\n
The consequence was very serious. The school was going to fire me. When she knew about it, she went to the school leaders and said that I didn’t seduce her, that she was my girlfriend. We were unmarried men and women and it was normal for us to be together.<\/p>\n
But after all, I was a teacher. My affair had a bad influence on the school and did not want to affect her future studies. So, I resigned and left, going back to my hometown to start over.<\/p>\n
I didn’t expect Lana to come to me during that winter break. Looking at her red face, I had a thought that I would protect her for the rest of my life and not let her get hurt in any way.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1391","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/touchgame.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1391","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/touchgame.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/touchgame.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/touchgame.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
