Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 1406

"Abner, what for are you hiding from?"

Sawyer stared at the tiny figure in front of him outrageously. After all, Abner was his son. There was no reason for him to be afraid of him.

Abner glance up and asked Sawyer, "Daddy...You don't trust me, don't you? You trust her instead."

Sawyer's heart sank upon hearing this.

Despite the fact that Abner was expressionless when he said that, somehow Sawyer could tell a hint of sorrow from his voice.

Abner asked again, "Daddy, you think that I... read it out poorly on purpose, so that I could... embarrass her in front of you, don't you?

Sawyer could not help frowning. It was supposed to be him questioning Abner. Instead, it turned around and sounded more as if Abner was interrogating him at this moment.

Nonetheless, it was the first time he ever saw Abner reacting to his questions aggressively. He could not help but wonder if he had in fact misunderstood him.

Sawyer's hesitation in a split of second immediately led Abner into pulling a long face. He cried out, "Daddy, I'm just a kid after all... I wouldn't have... thought of being... scheming at all."

Sawyer could no longer be harsh towards Abner upon hearing this. Just as he was about to say something, Sissi called out at this time from the kitchen, "Dinner is ready!"

Sawyer did not continue with what he intended at the first place. Instead, he stood up and said to Abner, "Let's go and have dinner."

"Okay."

At the sight of the tiny figure turning around and heading to the kitchen dejectedly, Sawyer was swept away by an indescribably mixed feelings.

After dinner.

Sawyer came to the balcony alone. Upon lighting up a cigarette, he began staring at the balcony view solemnly.

He was trained to handle business matters skillfully. However, when it came to tackling his family affair, he was overwhelmed by frustration. At this moment, he had no idea where to begin with.

He pondered for a moment before he took out his phone and began dialing.
