My CEO Daddy by ELAINE MALLIN

Kerr turned and left without saying a word. His detached expression gave no clue to what was on his mind. He went straight to his car, entered, and started the engine without giving it any thought. He drove to the Riverside Garden; to an apartment reserved by the Gu Group for Nicole.

He drove by the apartment and lowered the car's window while the engine still ran and hummed. The low purring sound of the engine calmed him somewhat. He stayed inside the car and stared at a little boy who sat quietly by the garden.

The little boy was about five to six years old. He had neatly trimmed hair, clad in a simple white T-shirt that seemed a little big for him and black short pants that reached his knees. He sat quietly on a wooden bench and quietly played with a magic cube in his hand. He didn't seem to notice Kerr as he watched him.

Kerr quietly got out of the car and walked towards the boy. He then stood in front of him and continued to watch him play.

Jay felt the odd eyes that stared at him. He stopped playing with his cube and slowly raised his head towards the man in front of him.

Even at his young age of six, he could feel that the man was a person of great power. His presence exuded an aura that demanded attention. In a few brief moments, something in the boy told him that he was very close to this man.

Jay bowed briefly in a childish way and went back to his cube. He didn't mind if the man watched him while he played. Something in him wanted the man to see him playing.

"You can move faster."

He could see that the boy was very capable of this.

"Can you play magic cubes too?"

Jay quickly handed the cube in his hand to Kerr with a hopeful look.

Kerr bent down a little and reached out his hand to take the toy. It took him only half a minute to solve the magic cube.

"Uncle, you are so awesome!"

It had been a long time since he last admired someone so much that he had almost forgotten the details of that event. But as soon as Jay held his toy in his delicate young hands, his admiration for Kerr knew no bounds.

Kerr's face remained expressionless as he reached his hand out to touch Jay's soft hair. It was an instinct that he seemed to have very little control over. But even if he did, he knew that he would've preferred not to stop himself.

All of a sudden, a familiar voice broke his brief state of reverie. It came from a short distance away from where he stood.

"Jay! It's time for lunch!"

Nicole wore a simple white satin dress that fell all the way to her calf. Her long straight hair flowed freely down her shoulders. A breeze played slightly with a few strands as Kerr turned his sight towards the source of the voice.

"Uncle, would you like to join us for lunch? I would really love to have lunch with you! You can also help me with the magic cube after lunch."
