Chapter 1146 Father and Son's Bond
Ava quickly handed Sunny to Alexander.
She was on the verge of breaking down.
What on earth was going on?
Maybe, because they were father and son.
Sometimes, many things are indescribable because they are so wonderful.
Alexander saw that Sunny was full of energy.
But Ava looked utterly exhausted.
"Ava, how about I stay and soothe him while you get some sleep?"
"How can that be? You need to go back and rest early."
"But if I put Sunny down, he cries. If Sunny keeps crying, he'll disturb you and Bishop, and even the neighbors next door."
Ava didn't know what to do.
"How about this," Alexander said, "I'll give Sunny to you. If he doesn't cry, I'll leave. If he cries, then listen to me: I'll stay and soothe Sunny. Once he's calm, I'll leave, okay?"
Ava thought for a moment, then nodded, "Alright."
She reached out to take Sunny.
As soon as Alexander placed Sunny in her arms, Sunny started crying again.
Ava was about to cry herself.
After Alexander took Sunny back and soothed him for a while, Sunny calmed down again.
Ava rubbed her forehead, feeling extremely frustrated.
"You see, I can't leave. Let me soothe him, you go ahead and sleep, it's okay."
"I'll wait until you soothe him," Ava yawned, she was really exhausted.
"Ava, just lie down on the bed for a while. Once Sunny is calm, I'll place him next to you. You can't go without sleep; there's an adult next door who needs your care, and now there's a child who needs you too."
Alexander made a good point.
Ava couldn't argue, "Then I'll just lie down for a bit. Call me when you're leaving."
Alexander nodded, "Alright, you lie down for a while."
Saying that, Alexander took Sunny to the living room.
Ava yawned again, she couldn't hold on any longer and lay down on the bed to take a short rest.
Alexander saw Ava fall asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow, his eyes filled with sadness and helplessness.
He carefully closed the bedroom door, holding Sunny as he went to the living room and sat on the couch.
"Sunny, when you grow up, don't become someone like me. I ruined everything with my own hands. When you grow up, if you love a woman, love her well and bravely tell her, don't be self-righteous."
"Daddy." Sunny's mouth suddenly made a sound that sounded very much like "Daddy."
Alexander was stunned, "Sunny, what did you say?"
Sunny, in her sweet childlike voice, with big, clear eyes, waved her little hands in the air and smiled, "Daddy."
He looked like a pure little angel, and a warm current instantly flowed into Alexander's cold heart, warming him up.
He felt shocked, incredulous, and a sense of happiness surged from his chest to his brain, even stimulating his tear ducts.
"Sunny, are you calling me?" Alexander's voice was a bit excited.
Sunny giggled, "Daddy."
"Sunny." Alexander hugged Sunny tightly, stood up from the couch, and paced back and forth, a bit at a loss, "Sunny, you actually called me Daddy. I'm not your daddy, William is your daddy."
He was almost incoherent.
"Daddy." Sunny kept calling.
"Sunny." Although this wasn't his son, hearing him call "Daddy" made Alexander feel very touched, as if he really were his father, and he felt a strong sense of fatherly love.
"Sunny, thank you."
"Mommy." Sunny called out again.
Alexander said with relief, "So young and you can already say Mommy and Daddy, you're so smart."
"Mommy, Daddy."
"Yes, good boy. Your mommy is sleeping in the room, and I'm here, Daddy is holding you."
This was good enough, even if he wasn't his real father, he could live in this false illusion, even if just for one night.
"Sunny, this is our little secret, don't tell anyone, okay?"
Alexander carefully kissed Sunny on the forehead.
"You're really my good boy."
If Sunny were really his child, he would do anything.
Even gave his life.
