Chapter: 577
He simply employed a few tactics.
Rowan tilted his head, concern spreading across his face. "Can I visit him at the hospital? Nikolas is kind to me. I miss him."
"Alright, I'll take you there tomorrow!" Jonathan felt pleased that Rowan wished to see Nikolas.
It showed that his son cherished relationships.
Nikolas' kindness towards Rowan was now being reciprocated.
After reassuring Rowan, Jonathan made his way to the kitchen to start cooking.
Who would imagine that the formidable CEO of Bates Group would wear an apron and wield a spatula in the kitchen at night?
Before long, the dining table was filled with mouthwatering dishes.
Clutching the laptop, Rowan climbed onto his chair, his little face showing discontent.
Jonathan set a plate before him and smiled. "Any success cracking my laptop?"
Rowan's frown grew deeper. "You made the program complex on purpose. You're trying to mock me, aren't you?"
Jonathan shrugged and took a seat across from Rowan. "I warned you it was difficult, but you claimed you could crack it."
"Of course I can! I'll find your weak point!"
“My weak point..." A delicate face suddenly flashed in Jonathan's mind and lingered. "I do have a weak point."
Upon hearing Jonathan admit to having a weak point, Rowan leaned in eagerly. “What is it? Give me a hint!"
“My weak point is. a person."
Rowan was puzzled by the answer. He frowned, pondering. “A person? You're scared of someone? Really?"
"That's not what I meant!" Jonathan sighed. "It's someone I love. Her name is Bethany."
Rowan began to cough.
Rowan choked on his rice, breaking into a violent cough.
Jonathan sprang to his feet and patted him on the back. "Are you alright?"
"I'm okay!" Rowan nodded, brushing off the concern with a wave of his hand as he averted his gaze from Jonathan.
At first, Jonathan was simply concerned that Rowan might be choking, but Rowan's odd reaction hinted at something else.
The more Rowan tried to conceal whatever was bothering him, the clearer it became that something was indeed amiss.
