Chapter 96 Did You Want To Leave With Me?

Chris had been looking forward to meeting Peyton again, so he stumbled towards Peyton.

Peyton smiled and reached out towards him, “Good boy, do you want to leave with me?”

Chris didn’t know what she meant and thought, “Anyway, since she reached out her hand to me, I’ll just grab it.”

Without hesitation, he placed his hand in Peyton’s palm. After Peyton lifted him up, he wrapped his arms around Peyton’s neck.

Chris nuzzled Peyton like a puppy and affectionately called her “mom.”

Peyton looked at Chris affectionately and said, “Good child, I am not your mother, you should call me aunt.”

At that time, everyone gathered at the bow of the cruise ship to watch the fireworks on the water, with Peyton, Chris’s, in their arms without any hindrance.

There was a small cake in Peyton’s room. She carried Chris back to her room and then put a birthday hat on him, lit the candles, and gently sang him the birthday song.

Chris didn’t know what Peyton was doing, but when he saw her smile, he smiled too.

Peyton took out an exquisite jade lock from the box, with the letter “C” carved on it.

This jade lock was prepared by me for my child, but he couldn’t use it. Since your name also has the letter C, I will give it to you.”

Chris reached out to grab the jade lock, his smiling face resembling Nolan’s.

Peyton put the jade pendant around Chris’s neck and then kissed him on the face, “Good boy, happy birthday to you.”

She looked at Chris tenderly and thought, “If my child hadn’t died, he would be the same age as Chris now.”

Peyton cut two pieces of cake and considerately separated the cream and fruits. Although Chris held a spoon, he still couldn’t eat and could only wave his hands randomly.

Then, Chris lowered his head and licked the bowl and plate, getting a little cream on his nose. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Peyton looked at him gently, “You see, you made a mess with the food everywhere.”

She laughed and ate the cake heartily, but tears kept streaming down her face.

Chris saw her crying and wanted to say something.

Peyton wiped away the tears and picked up Chris, gently saying, “Good child, I once had a child too.”

Chris didn’t know what she was saying as he reached out and wiped the tears off Peyton’s face.

“But my child went to a faraway place, and I missed him every day. Such a good child, why are you Helena’s child?”

Peyton sat down with him, holding him, and regardless of whether he

understood or not, she rambled on, “When I was your age, I was also a little princess, and my mom and dad loved me very much. But one day, my mom left, and I chased after the car, running until I fell down, but I couldn’t catch up with her. My dad was very good to me, and he raised me. Later, I fell in love with a man and had a child with him. But in the end, my dad got sick, my child died, and my lover turned into my enemy. Am I a failure?”

The child opened his arms and hugged Peyton, and Peyton’s tears rolled down onto Chris’s neck.

Chris didn’t know why Peyton had so many tears, but he knew he didn’t want her to cry at all.

“Mom, no,” he struggled to pronounce, managing to utter only these few words.

Peyton wiped away her tears and, according to the original plan, carried Chris to the deck on the second floor.
