Chapter 134: Don’t Cry
Carlos also looked up into the man who was related to him biologically, as if he was trying to remember him from a past life or something.
Meanwhile, Skyler put the luggage cart away and took the baby from Scarlett, and said excitedly, “Well, I see, you are Carlos. Don’t you think we look alike, little boy?”
Scarlett pushed the luggage cart and said as they walked toward the outside, “He used to look like his father, but recently I think he’s started to look more like you! Isn’t it strange? I don’t know how that happens. It’s kind of odd.”
Skyler gave a kiss on the baby’s cheek. The chubby baby was so lovely; especially with his big, watery eyes, nobody could take their eyes off him.
As they came out, the bodyguard came over to take their luggage. Scarlett placed her hand on Skyler’s shoulder. “So, how was everything in Paris? How does it feel to have graduated finally?”
“Yeah, it was good! I feel good.” Skyler answered promptly. “Wow, his eyes are so big! And such long eyelashes, too.”
“Don’t say he looks like a girl, otherwise, he will be pissed off!” Scarlett warned him.
“Really? Does he have a temper at such a young age?” he was surprised.
“Yes, he is! He does have a temper!” She said.
Once Francis came back home after work, he heard the laughter coming from the baby’s room.
Meanwhile, Scarlett and Skyler were playing with Carlos in the room.
As Carlos stared at his mother and uncle, he heard the door open, and he knew it was his father coming back home. He struggled to sit up and grabbed onto the corner of the small table near him to hoist himself up.
Scarlett was so surprised to see what was happening, Carlos could walk now! Carlos hadn’t realized what he had just achieved because all he had wanted was to go give his father a hug. As he tried to walk with his fat legs, he fell to the ground. Francis rushed to pick him up. Skyler stood up and greeted his brother-in-law.
“Did you arrive here in the morning? How are you doing? Everything okay here for you?” Francis asked gently as he held his son.
“Yeah, everything is perfect, and thank you very much! I really appreciate the hospitality.” He smiled. As Skyler was a well-behaved young student, Francis welcomed him with open arms. Despite that, he had to admit that a small part of him felt jealous because Skyler got Scarlett’s attention so easily.
“Hey, it’s me who arranged everything for you, not him! So you don’t need to thank him!” Scarlett said, teasing.
“Oh, please, Scarlett. Just let me thank your husband for the kindness he has extended to me.” All dressed in white, Skyler looked like a prince.
Because of what Skyler said, Francis liked him much more and smiled unconsciously.
Scarlett laughed as she stood up and gave him a side hug.
“I learned from the best.” Skyler looked up and winked. He was joking around. he
“Oh, how lovely to hear that from you! See, I’m almost about to cry.” Scarlett pretended to cry a little. Skyler held her shoulders and smiled, “Well, with Francis and Carlos, you will have nothing left but happiness, and all the unhappiness was in the past. Isn’t that right, Scarlett?”
“Don’t turn me into the heroine of a sorrowful play, okay? You know I’m always optimistic!” She said.
Although she said that, she still felt sad and really wanted to cry. Then, she turned around to bury her head in Skyler’s chest. She couldn’t help the tears. Skyler’s clothes had gotten all wet because of Scarlett’s crying.
Looking at the scene, Francis felt completely helpless. He knew that he could not change the past, and he had to recognize the fact that Skyler would always be an extremely important man in her life. After all, Skyler had known much longer than he had. It was only fair.
It seemed that Carlos had sensed the change of the atmosphere, so he just suddenly pouted with tears, “Mummy…”
After wiping her tears away, Scarlett walked forward to take Carlos into her arms. Her eyes were red.
But Francis didn’t let Scarlett have him, instead, he stretched one hand out to caress her cheeks.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
“Don’t cry!” He tried to comfort her.
“I’m not really crying, I’m just too happy!” She looked up at him and beamed.
Carlos tried to reach out to his mother and hold her arm close. It seemed that he had realized she was feeling distressed. He wanted to comfort his mother and make her feel better somehow personally.
“Hey, stop being like that, otherwise I will swell with happiness!” She laughed as she took her son from Francis.
“Why is that?” Skyler asked.
“Well, the three of you are so good to me, what am I to do? I can’t believe how lucky I am. I swear I’m the luckiest girl in the whole damn world. I know I have at least three people in the world who love me more than anything. I’m so glad that I can be important to them, too.” She answered, emotional.
Skyler felt speechless, and Francis just said, “Aw, babe. That’s so sweet. And hey, not to break this touching moment up, but we’re starving. Why don’t we go get some dinner now? Hmm? What do you think?”
***
After dinner, Francis took the baby to take a bath, so Scarlett and Skyler sat in the guestroom chatting.
When Skyler took a look around the carefully decorated room, he knew that all the ornaments and streamers had been Scarlett’s doing. She had always had an idea for décor, after all.
“What’s wrong?” Scarlett asked Skyler, noticing that he looked kind of distracted.
“Nothing, I’m just very happy to see that you are in good hands now. You’ve suffered more than I have since you were a kid, and I was much luckier than you for having you protect me all the time. Now I’m so glad that you have such a happy family.” Skyler said.
