Genius Child: The Next Heir
Chapter 45: Dinner istinewa

Luke and Andrew went down together, approaching Caroline who was already in the dining room, but Andrew immediately left the room, with a slight grim face. While Luke only looked at him deeply with a disappointed expression etched from his face.

"Andrew, just have dinner here first.!"

Caroline stared gently at her son's face, knowing that Luke wanted her father to accompany her to dinner.

The man paused his footsteps for a moment, turning to look at Caroline and Luke.

"All right."

He turned around, and came back to the table, with a face that was still lethargic, he sat right beside Luke.

"I'm sorry if the menu doesn't suit your taste."

As Caroline took the plate, she filled it with rice.

"Which food do you like? or do I want to make another one.?

Caroline tries not to show the tension that occurs between them, still he is the father of his son, it is not good if Luke sees the dispute between his parents.

"No need, that's enough, I happen to not really like chives either."

He felt a warm feeling in himself, a family, a word he was eager to say to the two people in front of him at this time.

"All right, let me get it for you."

Without a doubt, Caroline filled the plate with side dishes and another rice friend for Andrew.

"Is this enough.?"

He said as he looked at Andrew and glanced at the contents of the plate in his hand.

"Thank you.

His mouth smiled faintly, taking the plate.

"Together."

Caroline sat back in the chair, right next to Luke.

"Good meal, Momi, dad."

With a happy smile emanating from the boy's face, for the first time, he felt a special dinner, a mother, a father, now sitting together, accompanying him to dinner.

"Good meal too, dear."

Caroline's gentle elus to her son, not feeling, she almost dripped her tears, seeing the happiness of the child, could it be that she was too selfish and too stubborn.

Despite living with a treasure, of course Luke longs for the complete affection of his parents.

"Had he been with us, it might have been even more fun."

Caroline momentarily fell silent, she stared at her food miserably, she bowed trying to hold her own expression.

Luke immediately stroked his mother's arm gently, smiling cheerfully, something he had never seen before.

"Eat a lot, dear.!"

Caroline smiled softly at her son.

'Is this what it feels like to have a family? a wife, and a child, I hope this isn't a dream."

While eating dinner, he got a little lost in his thoughts. He stared at Caroline and Luke several times.

"Drink first! don't you choke on me."

The woman gave Andrew a glass filled with water.

"Ah. ok, thank you."

The man who was in front of him, like he was not the person he remembered in his mind, many times he said an apology, many times he also said a word of thanks.

Caroline stared inside the two people, should she accept Andrew? can she let go of the trauma that she used to have. Happiness for a child, of course he wants it very much, he does not want to experience the way he feels, life as a child, without the affection of a father.

"Caroline, why don't you go on with your food.?"

The voice within the man instantly awakened himself from the daydream. He stared a little awkwardly at the two who were looking at him in confusion.

"Ah no, I just feel like you guys are getting along very quickly."

He replied as he turned his face away from the two men, and resumed eating.

"Of course momi, he's my father, isn't that the way it should be."

With a gentle smile and a sense of happiness, Luke answered his mother without hesitation.

"Momi, dad, thank you, I'm so happy." Added.

Hearing the words of his son, Andrew and Caroline cast their eyes at each other with awkward expressions implied by the two.

"Of course baby, finish the meal.!"

Caroline clearly understood what her son was saying, she indirectly said, that she would be very happy, if her father and mother were together.

***********

After spending dinner together, the two of them are now in the family room to play games together, while Caroline is busy cleaning up her kitchen work.

"Mrs, let me do it."

Aunty came to him, because it was not good, obviously it was his duty.

"It's okay Bi, I have to clear my mind."

His mouth as he breathed heavily.

"Alright, let me help the lady."

Said aunty, while trying to accompany the anxiety of her hostess.

"Bi, it seems Luke is very happy, with his father's presence."

Caroline stopped her work, leaning her body beside her housekeeper.

"Madam, I have no right to interfere in the personal matters of the mistress, would if I were presumptuous, but perhaps the little lord, desperately wants a whole family."

He said politely.

"I know Bi, but I'm not a person who will live a bond, especially just on the grounds of a child, I want a bond that is based on pure and deep feelings, some things scare me Bi, especially considering my dark times."

As Caroline's eyes stared at the top ceiling blankly, she remembered vividly, the figure of the man she knew, all of them scoundrels, they were so thirsty for women from all around her, especially the figure of the father he remembered, so incised the wound in his heart, so as to give a deep sense of trauma, to a word of marriage.

"Madam, there must be a man who is not like that, I don't know the story of the mistress, but let all be a lesson not a trauma mistress."

The aunt gently stroked the back of Caroline's arm politely, but also emanated an expression of concern.

"I get it, thanks Bi, I'll see what the two of them are doing."

He said politely, as well as gently, he stepped away from the place, while the aunt only nodded her head gently, and continued her work.

Caroline paused to stop her footsteps when she saw Luke and Andrew playing with her game, and several times the man gently embraced his son.

"Momi, come here, look! I managed to beat dad."

Luke immediately ran to his mother who was looking at them, as she gently pulled her mother's arm, to sit with him.

"Luke is great."

Unable to resist, Caroline sat beside Andrew, at a distance in the middle, with Luke enthusiastically sitting between the two without hesitation.

"Momi, dad, let's play gawe threes."

The two glanced at each other awkwardly, while Luke only smiled without any burden from his face.
