Chapter 147
In his dream, he saw the process of Esely Lin giving birth. A son! He was a chubby little boy! His eyes, his mouth, his nose… they were exactly like his own. He was overjoyed.
As his son grew up, he became more and more like him, especially his cleverness, which was truly delightful. The more William Swiss watched, the happier he felt.
The little one grew up slowly and his face became more and more like Cupid’s. William Swiss rubbed his eyes and looked carefully.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Isn’t that face Cupid’s?
Cupid opened his eyes, jumped in front of him, and shouted, “Little dad!”
“Ah!”
William Swiss suddenly screamed and opened his eyes.
As his gaze became clear and focused, he saw Esely Lin’s face full of confusion and shock.
“Hey, what are you doing? You scared me.” Esely Lin stood by the bed, slightly bending her body, her face full of doubt.
William Swiss blinked and for a moment, he remembered everything from his dream. He took a deep breath and exhaled it.
“Did you have a nightmare?” Esely Lin smiled slightly, sitting down by the bed.
“Yeah, I dreamt of a big tiger.” William Swiss laughed, stretched out his long arms, pulled her body over, and hugged her.
“Ah? The kind that eats people?”
“Of course.” William Swiss thought for a moment, and added wickedly, “Just like the one yesterday, it was fierce and ate me whole, not even leaving any scraps.”
It took a while for Esely Lin to understand what he was implying with his words. She was so angry that she swung her fist and hammered it towards the man’s hot and strong chest.
William Swiss caught her hand and with a strong arm, pulled her into the bed. Dare to hit people? She deserved to be “educated.”
So, William Swiss demonstrated the consequences of hitting people with his own actions.
At the Gu Mansion, Chester Ye placed some high-end snacks that Seamus Gu had brought back from overseas in front of Esely Lin and said, “You are really something, what a terrible idea… you really came up with it.”
Esely Lin rolled her eyes, picked out one she liked from the pile of snacks and tore it open.
“… I regretted it afterwards! The situation was urgent at the time, so I just… sigh! It’s all my fault.”
Chester Ye pondered for a moment and said, “It’s not as bad as you think. The Swiss and Gu families have a polite and friendly relationship on the surface, but in private, they are at odds with each other. Since William Swiss knows about it, he wouldn’t be more likely to talk about it. He doesn’t have that kind of time to make trouble for himself.”
Esely Lin thought for a moment and nodded.
“As long as we don’t say anything and they don’t say anything, he won’t find out.” “Hmm.” Esely Lin pursed her lips.
“But speaking of which, this little guy is quite sharp, he’s like a cunning devil.” Chester Ye spoke of Cupid with envy. “Esely Lin, have you looked into it?”
“Looked into what?”
“Who Cupid’s biological father is? What kind of father can give birth to such a mischievous son? I’m really curious.” Chester Ye opened a drink for her, afraid she would choke. “How about I help you look into it?”
Esely Lin quickly shook her head. “No, thanks. I’m fine now, with Cupid by my side, that’s enough for this lifetime.”
“What about the man?” Chester Ye raised his eyebrows.
Esely Lin fell silent.
Chester Ye sighed softly, “One day, William Swiss will find out about this.”
“…” Esely Lin was speechless.
In fact, she knew better than anyone else that paper cannot contain fire. Originally, she didn’t support doing this, but now things have developed to the point where she has to continue.
Biting the bullet.
“Hey, Esely Lin, I don’t know if you’ve noticed.”
Chester Ye nudged the person who was eating snacks with his arm. “Don’t you feel like… Our Cupid and William Swiss look a little alike?”
“Poof!”
The drink that Esely Lin had just taken a sip of was sprayed out.
“Oh my God! Look at how excited you are.” Chester Ye frowned and pushed the tissue on the table towards her.
Esely Lin was really choked.
After coughing for a while, Esely Lin muttered, “You’re really something, to say something like that.”
How could Cupid be William Swiss’s child? It’s a completely ridiculous idea.
Chester Ye smiled. “I was just kidding. But our Cupid will definitely grow up to be a handsome guy.”
“Of course,” Esely Lin said smugly.
“Look at his features, they are so perfectly shaped, like they’re drawn.”
On the way home, Esely Lin still couldn’t stop thinking about Chester Ye’s words. Her thoughts were like the rolling waves of the sea.
Could it be possible?
No, it’s impossible
The man who bullied her five years ago could absolutely not be William Swiss. Although he appeared tyrannical and unreasonable, he was actually a super-controlled and extremely celibate individual in his personal life, and would never resort to such despicable measures. Furthermore, a man like him wouldn’t have trouble finding the type of woman he wanted, so why would he resort to using drugs?
With nobody else at home, Maria had gone to buy groceries and pick up Cupid from school. William Swiss had yet to finish work. Esely Lin sat alone on the sofa, quietly watching TV for a while.
When she woke up, she found herself nestled in the man’s arms.
“Huh? What time is it?” Esely Lin hurriedly sat up from the man’s embrace, rubbed her eyes, and glanced at the time. “Oh, it’s only four o’clock. When did you get back?”
Her cute and silly expression upon waking up was very endearing, and when she curled up in his embrace, she looked like a gentle little cat.
He reached out his hand and gently pressed it on top of her head, pulling her closer into his embrace, saying, “It’s still early, if you’re tired, go back to sleep.”
“Oh,” Esely Lin was indeed tired, obediently lying back down and quickly falling asleep again.
The man had intended to lay her flat on the sofa, but upon further thought, he placed her on his lap instead, letting her head rest on his shoulder as she slept.
He didn’t know how much time had passed until he looked at the clock and was shocked to see that only half an hour had gone by. Maria and Cupid should be back soon.
