NOVPUBChapter 1054: Chapter 1054: Have You Gained Weight?_1 Chapter 1054 -1054: Have You Gained Weight?_1 Anyways, each time he’d rush over, he’d first dive onto Cindy Clarke’s bed, nestle into Clarke’s embrace, and cuddle with her for about ten minutes, indulging in Clarke’s sweet, soft hug.
Then, Clarke would cradle him to wash his face and brush his teeth.
Clarke also enjoyed letting the little guy cling to her.
Boys tend to stop being clingy as they grow older.
Therefore, Clarke cherished these moments when the little one still loved to cuddle.
“Cindy!” The voice of the little one could be heard in the courtyard from the room.
He called out with his childlike voice while running over with “pitter-patter” sounds.
...
Adrian Zhekova had just fallen into a deep sleep and wasn’t disturbed by the noise.
He even thought it was part of his dream.
Turning over, he held Clarke tightly.
Whenever he was on a business trip, he didn’t have Clarke next to him to hold.
Being able to hug her in his sleep now, he felt extremely satisfied.
Clarke usually woke up at this time.
When she heard the little one’s voice, she also woke up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Zhekova’s familiar chest and smelled his familiar scent.
Even though Zhekova was only away for a few days, Clarke felt it has been a long time since she last slept in Zhekova’s arms.
Even her sleep felt unsettled.
Although it was now summer.
It doesn’t feel hot in the middle of the night, but rather a bit cool.
Being held by Zhekova, she feels just the right temperature.
Moreover, Clarke was slightly cold-intolerant.
She was the type who didn’t mind the heat but feared the cold.
In air-conditioned rooms in the summer, she’d even cover herself with a blanket.
However, now hearing the voice of the little one, Clarke knew she had to hurry up and get out of bed.
She hoped not to wake Zhekova up as it took him a while to fall asleep, which would be disturbing.
She hoped he’d sleep a little longer before going to work.
She had asked him the night before and knew Zhekova still has to go to work as usual today.
Moreover, she had been accompanying Zhekova; chatting until he fell asleep.
So, Clarke knew exactly when Zhekova fell asleep.
However, Zhekova had a firm hold on Clarke.
Before she could get up, the little one had run into the room.
And with excitement, he innocently called out: “Cindy!”
While calling, he lifted the mosquito net and entered without asking.
Only then did the little one notice there was one more person on the bed.
Although Zhekova had his back to him, and the little one couldn’t see his face.
But the little one was quite conscientious, being the biological son.
He recognized Zhekova just by looking at his back.
“Daddy!” The little one had not seen Zhekova for a couple of days and he had been missing him even though he hadn’t expressed it verbally.
He then climbed onto the bed, wielding his chubby little body, and threw himself onto Zhekova.
Clarke: “…”
The little one missed Zhekova so much, full of enthusiasm.
Clarke couldn’t stop him, right?
Zhekova: “…”
His breath hitched as the little one landed on him.
It felt like he was carrying a massive weight on his chest.
Way too heavy!
The little one’s calling couldn’t wake him up, but his weight certainly did.
Zhekova grunted, waking up to find the weight on him felt even heavier.
“Daddy, when did you come home!” The little one nestled in Zhekova’s arms, refusing to budge.
Zhekova bore the little one’s full weight, feeling again the weight of his responsibility.
“Daddy got home late last night,” Clarke said, “due to the time difference, he fell asleep just now…”
Clarke checked the time on her mobile phone, “He’s been asleep for only 2 hours.”
“Daddy, you’re overworked!” The little one exclaimed, his round eyes wide open.
Zhekova felt that for once, the little one had said something meaningful.
Zhekova’s sleep hadn’t been too deep, so waking up now didn’t feel uncomfortable.
He then bounced the little one in his arms: “Did you gain some weight?”
The little one was shocked by Zhekova’s question.
As if it was a retaliation, he sat on Zhekova’s stomach and squatted a few times.
Only then did he respond, “I didn’t gain weight, I am growing.”
The little one squatted twice more, demonstrating his increased height, “I’ve gotten taller, that’s why I’m heavier, not chubbier.”
He spoke and squatted twice more: “Great grandmother said I’m in a growth spurt, I must consume enough nutrients and eat a ton to keep up with my growth.”
“Therefore, though I eat a lot and have gained weight, I have not gotten chubbier!” The little one asserted, stretching out his chubby little arm to Zhekova for evidence.
“Look Daddy, there’s the same amount of flesh, it has not increased.” The little one continued to assert while squatting around on Zhekova’s stomach.
Zhekova: “…”
He suspected that the little one was seeking revenge.
All because he asked if the little one had gained weight, and now this little guy kept squatting on his stomach.
Zhekova groaned a few times, rushed to grab the little one, and moved him between himself and Clarke.
The little one indeed minded Zhekova suggesting he had gained weight.
He was the “garden grass” of their nursery.
He could not afford to get fat.
“Yes.” Clarke quickly comforted the little one who was emotionally hurt and slightly restless.
“Having been away for days, Daddy hasn’t seen you in a while and found changes a lot more noticeable than we can observe every day,” Clarke explained.
“You are growing at an exceptional rate, changing every day.
So Daddy, who hasn’t seen you for a few days, finds your growth quite apparent,” Clarke said.
The little one agreed with this.
He nodded in approval: “That’s right, absolutely!”
Zhekova lazily squinted at them, his eyes had a slightly flattering charm.
It felt casually indifferent, like those in comic books.
Without exaggeration, Clarke had never seen such an expression on Zhekova’s face before.
She knew his eyes were pretty, but she never anticipated he could look so animated.
Isn’t this the recent popular “Man-Torn-Out-From-Comic-Books” look?
Following that, Zhekova cast a casual sidelong glance at the little one.
He reached out and pinched the little one’s arm, then his belly, and finally his chubby little butt twice.
Then, Zhekova chuckled.
All the talk about needing to eat more to keep up with his rapid growth, and the weight gain came from height increase not fat gain.
Clearly, the Old Madam was just teasing the little one.
He had obviously gained weight.
The little one bristled immediately at Zhekova’s chuckle.
One could visibly see the spikes in his fine arm hairs standing up.
Don’t think he couldn’t figure it out!
Zhekova’s laugh was ridiculing him!
He was making fun of him for gaining weight!
Clarke felt an instant headache coming on.
