Chapter: 610
Ever since he began to resemble Jonathan more, she had sent him overseas, and their encounters had been occasional. Now, with his father, he looked genuinely joyful, his smile radiant.
This was the pure happiness that every child deserved.
If Jonathan hadn't been there, she would have captured this moment of her son's happiness on her phone.
“Are you feeling okay?" Jonathan was the first to notice her, approaching her side.
"Yes." Bethany settled back down, glancing at him. "I've seen enough. You can let me see B7 now, right?"
"Yes. I'll drive you to meet him tomorrow morning." He was a man of his word.
Bethany had no complaints since it was too late to visit today.
"Then I'll be going now."
She began to rise from her seat.
As she stood up, Rowan suddenly clutched his stomach and groaned, “Ouch! My stomach really hurts!"
Bethany had never seen her son behave like this, and in her panic, she quickly rushed back to Rowan's side, forgetting about Jonathan's presence.
"Where does it hurt? Show me!"
Rowan looked up with a woeful expression. "I might have sneaked some cold soda earlier, and now my stomach feels awful. Ma‘am, can you rub my tummy?"
Bethany instinctively reached out, then suddenly remembered Jonathan was watching.
Was she being too maternal for just a "stranger"?
"Uh, um... Maybe your dad should do that!"
Jonathan hesitated, catching the cue from Rowan, and said with a frown, "But I have a video conference starting soon. Bethany, could you please look after him for a little while?"
Bethany, who was already hesitant to leave, quickly agreed, though she pretended to be reluctant.
"Is that okay? He doesn't seem to like me very much."
"Just take care of him for a bit. I'll take over as soon as my meeting ends."
“Alright. I'll help you out this time! But please be quick."
Bethany scooped her son into her arms and carried him to his room.
Rowan wrapped his arms around his mother's neck, giving Jonathan a mischievous grin and a wink.
Jonathan's heart steadied as he watched Bethany and Rowan enter the bedroom.
