Chapter 661 My Dad Went on a World Tour

Hubert blinked, giving Theodore a curious look. He didn't really get the whole "handsome" thing yet, but he thought Theodore looked pretty cool. "Hey, mister, you waiting for someone?" Hubert asked.

Theodore was a bit surprised. This kid couldn't be more than two, but he spoke so clearly. It reminded Theodore of Noomi, a kid he met at the hospital not too long ago. "Yeah, I'm waiting for someone," Theodore replied.

Today, Jack was driving. He probably had a bad lunch and needed a bathroom break. When they passed Golden Apartment, Jack asked if he could stop. Theodore said sure, and Jack quickly parked and dashed inside to use the security guard's restroom.

Hubert started chatting away, "Waiting is so boring. I always wait for my mom to get off work, and sometimes I fall asleep before she gets home." Theodore had never really talked to a kid before, but he didn't mind. Hubert wasn't annoying at all. "Your mom must be really busy at work," he said. "Yeah, she works hard to support us," Hubert said, sounding way older than he looked, his little face all scrunched up.

"What about your dad?" Theodore asked without thinking.

Hubert sighed, "Mom says Dad didn't want to stay home, so he went on a world tour."

Theodore was stunned for a second. What kind of dad would leave such a cute kid to travel the world? Clearly, he was just being irresponsible! Theodore kept his thoughts to himself and said, "Your mom must be pretty amazing then."

Hubert didn't really get what "amazing" meant, but he was eyeing the car. It was big and shiny, and he looked a bit jealous.

"Your car is so big, mister. My mom has a car too," Hubert said, his eyes practically begging to get inside.

"Want to sit in it?" Theodore offered.

Hubert's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his little hands together. "Can I?"

Just then, Pamela rushed over and tried to pull Hubert away. She eyed Theodore suspiciously, "Hubert, you can't just get into a stranger's car." Hubert looked a bit disappointed but said politely, "We're not friends yet, so I can't sit in your car."
