NOVPUBChapter 1055: Chapter 1055: The Status Is Already Unacceptable _1 Chapter 1055 -1055: The Status Is Already Unacceptable _1 This father-son duo, really…
Every time Adrian Zhekova leaves on a business trip, they miss each other.
As soon as Adrian returns, it looks like they’re ready to launch into a fight.
To prevent them from scratching each other’s faces on the first day of their reunion, Cindy Clarke hastily picks up little Morgan, saying, “If you don’t wash up soon, you’ll be late for the nursery.”
“I!” Even before the little guy could finish his sentence, Cindy had deftly lifted him off the bed.
Admittedly, he has put on quite a bit of weight recently.
Not just because he’s growing up.
Even Cindy couldn’t in good conscience say that the little one hadn’t gained weight.
...
Especially since they started living in the family mansion, the little guy has been eating a lot more.
This is further amplified by the Old Master and Old Madam competing over who can spoil the tyke more with sweet talk.
Old Master: “Our Morgan is so adorable.”
Old Madam: “Has our Morgan lost weight again?”
Old Master: “Eat up, you’re too thin.
No one likes a skinny boy.”
Old Madam: “Morgan, what would you like for a late-night snack?
Hotpot?
Great!
Enjoy your meal, you’re not putting on weight.”
Old Master: “Our Morgan’s figure is perfect, just like the little models in the magazines.
We’re lucky he didn’t become a model, or else the other children wouldn’t stand a chance.”
Old Madam: “How incredible that Morgan doesn’t put on weight no matter how much he eats.
He’s truly blessed with an amazing body.”
Old Master: “Yes, truly fortunate.
Not like so many others who need to control their diet to maintain their figure.”
Old Madam: “He’ll make people green with envy.
Does he want to leave any room for others to breathe?”
Old Master: “Who else could eat late-night hotpot like our Morgan and not worry about getting fat?”
Old Madam: “Morgan, you eat up.
You should give others a chance, too.”
Old Master: “Even if you gain some weight, it won’t be noticeable.”
Old Madam: “And you’re still growing.
Your weight gain is probably just you getting taller.”
Thus, under the sweet onslaught of the elderly pair, the tyke continued to eat unabated.
The pair were also engaged in a competition of flattery, neither willing to concede defeat.
They raced to shower him with sweeter words.
So, the little guy invariably didn’t hear any home truths.
Of course, it’s not that the little guy has gained that much weight.
But to say he doesn’t put on weight no matter how much he eats, Cindy feels like that’s a bit of a stretch.
Cindy quickly took the little one to the washroom.
In the washroom, there’s a wooden stool specifically for the little one to step on while brushing his teeth.
Since it’s not high as an ordinary step, there’s no risk of danger if the little one missteps.
To ensure the little one’s safety, the Old Master had someone make it out of particularly heavy wood.
It’s securely set on the ground and won’t easily move.
The little guy was brushing his teeth standing on the wooden stool and didn’t have time to talk.
While the little guy was washing up, Cindy went to get his clothes for the day.
Just as the little guy finished washing up and applied cream on his face, Cindy handed him his clothes.
The little guy doesn’t need Cindy’s help to get dressed anymore.
He took his clothes and went to change all by himself.
Cindy then turned to Adrian Zhekova and said, “Later, I’ll take Morgan to have breakfast, you can sleep for a bit longer.”
Adrian glanced at the time and said, “I’ll go with you, I also need to go to the Company anyway.
I told Cleave Roland to come over in the morning; he can drop Morgan at the nursery on our way.”
Cindy gently brushed Adrian’s forelock with a flicker of concern in her eyes, “You’ve just come back, and you’re still recovering from jet lag.
How about taking the day off before going back to the office?”
“If I took a day off, I’d probably end up sleeping all day and end up awake at night.
Better to go in and work, staying awake the whole day will help me reset my sleep schedule,” Adrian explained.
Though there are medicines available to manage jet lag, Adrian isn’t fond of them.
Plenty of international trips meant he had his own methods.
So, Cindy chose not to comment.
“But, have Cleave drive you back from work.
Don’t drive yourself,” Cindy continued, “Staying up all day, I’m worried you might be too tired for the drive back.”
“Alright,” Adrian agreed.
He got out of bed.
Just as Cindy was about to get up, Adrian wound his arm around her waist.
“I hadn’t finished holding you when Morgan came in,” Adrian said.
Cindy exhaled in amusement.
She also thought that the little guy had come in a tad quickly.
The little guy had no idea that not only was he being resented by his dad as usual. 𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝒐𝙢
Even Cindy, for once, found him a bit of a nuisance.
Cindy patted Adrian’s hand lightly, “Morgan will be back soon after changing.”
Adrian reluctantly let go.
Having a kid sure makes things inconvenient.
Is there some way to put the little one back?
Morgan, none the wiser, returned after changing.
Adrian then said, “Hold on a bit, I’ll be done soon.”
Upon seeing this, Morgan asked Cindy, “Is Dad not going back to sleep?”
“Yes, he has to go to work too, so he’s joining us for breakfast,” Cindy explained, “Today, Dad will drop you off at the nursery on our way.”
“Okay!” Morgan seemed to miss the days when he and Adrian used to go to the nursery together.
Before Adrian took his business trip, Cindy wasn’t needed to accompany them.
Morgan shared a car with Adrian.
Adrian would drop him off at the nursery before driving back to the Company.
True to his word, Adrian got ready quickly, in less than ten minutes.
He even had his clothes neatly donned.
And so, the three of them set off together.
Seeing Adrian made the elderly pair quite surprised.
“When did you return?” Old Madam asked.
“I got back in the middle of the night when all of you were asleep.
Even the lamps in the courtyard were off,” Adrian replied.
Nowadays, their grandson’s position in the hearts of the elderly pair was not as high as before.
Morgan had long since surpassed him.
Consequently, after asking this question, the Old Madam didn’t show any other reaction.
As for whether the trip went smoothly or if it was tiring,
Those questions were far from the elderly pair’s mind.
Morgan was sitting in his usual spot when Old Madam handed him a piece of fried dough stick, “Here, freshly fried and crispy.”
Morgan held the dough stick in his small paws, it was so fluffy that he could hardly hold it all in one hand.
Morgan then asked Old Madam: “Great Grandmother, am I getting fat?”
“Not at all, who said you’re getting fat?” Old Madam pinched the soft flesh of Morgan’s arm, “Look how thin our Morgan is.
You should eat more.”
Not to be outdone, Old Master intervened: “Yes, you’re in a growing phase.
It seems you’ve even grown taller.
You’re growing too fast!
You should eat more to keep up”.
