Chapter 1872 How About You Become My Dad
She gave herself a knock on the head at the thought of that. That’s impossible! He’s from the city, remember? There’s no way a mere villager like me would’ve met him before!
“I’m home!” Just then, Delilah’s voice sounded from the living room.
“Grandma!” Lucius threw himself in her arms.
“Selena! How is your knee?” Delilah called out toward the kitchen.
“It’s fine, Ms. Young! It should be healed pretty soon!” Selena replied.
Larry felt his heart ache when he looked at her wound. Her injury isn’t serious, but it’ll still take a few days for her to heal up… Wait, Joan used to be like this too, didn’t she? She’d rather suffer the pain all by herself instead of having others worry about her…
“Oh, my… What are you doing in the kitchen, Mr. Norton? Come on out and get some rest, both of you! I’ll take care of dinner!” With that, Delilah shoved the two of them out of the kitchen.
Selena shot her a helpless glance before limping toward the living room.
Larry stepped forward to hold her steady, much to Delilah’s delight.
She had heard about what happened during the day as well as Larry’s character. He hasn’t laid a finger on another woman ever since his wife died in a car accident, and yet he carried Selena all the way to the clinic and back home… I rescued Selena from the riverbank, and she clearly isn’t from around these parts… Could it be that they knew each other before she ended up here? I have long since treated Selena like my own daughter, what would Lucius and I do if she were to leave me someday?
Delilah frowned at the thought of that and looked at the two of them worriedly.
“Mr. Norton, I don’t know the answer to this question. Could you teach me?” Lucius asked as he walked up to Larry, much to Selena’s surprise.
He went to Larry for help instead of me?
Larry found his heart melting at how adorable Lucius looked.
“All right, let me see…” He picked Lucius up and sat him down on the sofa before he carried on explaining, “This question is actually very simple. All we have to do is break it down and…”
Selena found herself grinning happily when she saw how serious the two of them looked. This heartwarming atmosphere… Isn’t this exactly what I’ve been searching for all this while?
“Dinner’s ready!” Delilah shouted as she served up the food.
“Let me help you, Ms. Young!” Selena was about to stand up when Larry sat her back down on the sofa.
“You stay here and rest that leg of yours. I’ll help her out instead.” With that, he turned around and went into the kitchen while Selena sat there with her face burning bright red.
“I’m sorry we aren’t able to whip up anything fancy in this little village of ours, Mr. Norton. I hope you’re okay with these simple dishes,” Delilah said softly.
“Don’t worry about it, Ms. Young. This is exactly how I like my meals,” Larry replied with a smile.
“How about you become my dad, Mr. Norton?” Lucius couldn’t help but ask as he really liked Larry a lot.
Delilah and Selena were both frozen in shock when they heard that.
What on earth has gotten into this boy? How could he ask such a tactless question?
“What are you saying, Lucius? Hurry up and finish your food!” Selena gave the boy a gentle kick under the table.
Realizing his mistake, Lucius kept his head low and carried on eating.
“I’m okay with it if your mommy is,” Larry said softly while casting Selena a glance.
Lucius had explained to him earlier that Selena wasn’t his biological mother, and that he was merely adopted by Delilah a few years ago. Larry was furious when he heard him call Selena ‘Mom’ earlier, but after giving it some thought, he realized that the boy was too old to have been her child anyway.
