A Husband For Killer Mom

Chapter 218 - 218 Ch. 218 Lori Is Famous



No. How wished Richard could refuse his daughter’s request.

“Of course, he can, sweety.”

Did Richard answer it? No, he didn’t. It was his wife who granted their daughter’s request—he made a sullen face when he heard his wife agreeing to their daughter’s request.

Nonetheless, Richard did nothing as his daughter smiled sweetly, and her eyes were filled with excitement and endless joy gleam. How could he refute his wife’s response seeing his daughter like that?

“Yeah!! Louis, we can go together!” cheered Lori, holding Louis’s hand and jumping up and down like a child who just got a new toy.

Richard glanced at this boy named Louis from head to toe. The boy was good-looking but not as handsome as himself. Even if he was unwilling, Richard had to admit, Louis was rather adorable with slightly chubby cheeks... but still, Lori was the most adorable child in the world.

In other words, there’s nothing special about this boy.

No one knew how long Richard had been staring at the boy with probing eyes until Louis raised his head to look at him. Richard still didn’t look away even though he was caught red-handed by the boy. The thing was, the child didn’t feel intimidated by the look in his eyes. Instead, the boy asked him fearlessly.

.....

“Why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?”

Slap! Anxia slapped Richard’s arm lightly while giving a look of warning to be nice to their daughter’s friend.

“Don’t mind him. He looked at you because you were attractive.” Anxia bent her body down so Louis’ neck wouldn’t hurt too much from looking up to talk to them.

For a while, Anxia felt dumbfounded when she saw the child’s face up close.

“I know I’m handsome. I heard I inherited my father’s good looks.”

It felt like the volcano in Richard’s heart wanted to explode upon hearing Louis’s brazen over-confident remark. What irritated him even more, he noticed his wife frozen in her crouched position and looking at Louis with awe.

No way… did his wife think the boy was more handsome than him!?

“Xia Xia, what are you doing?” Richard patted Anxia on the shoulder to wake his wife from her reverie. “Shouldn’t we go for a walk in the park?”

“Ah? Yes. Let’s go now.”

Richard only sighed resignedly when his wife’s eyes did not leave his daughter’s friend. Obviously, Richard wouldn’t be able to enjoy their outing today.

On the way to Kensington Park, Anxia often looked back at the two five-year-old kids who were now talking to each other. Well, the one who did the most talking was Lori because her daughter loves to chat. Louis occasionally responded to Lori and answered all the questions that didn’t need to be asked in such an unreasonable way, which made the two adorable creatures.

“Louis, do you know why clouds are in the shape of a bunny?”

“Because you like rabbits.”

“Do you know why I like rabbits?”

“Because you’re cute as a bunny.”

Richard wanted to cover his ear. Was there something wrong with his hearing, or had he just heard a boy trying to hit on his daughter?

On the contrary, Anxia laughed amusedly and instead became fond of this boy named Louis.

Lori was a genius and had a keen perceptive around her, but regarding a boy’s feelings toward her—the girl’s sometimes was quite dense. Anxia herself didn’t wish her daughter to fall in love with the wrong person when the girl grew up. At least she didn’t want her daughter to fall into the charms of a cunning guy like Richard.

Based on her woman instinct, Anxia could see Louis was a good kid—not manipulative or cunning like Richard, without knowing the boy had done more than manipulate his friend to get himself closer to Lori.

Not to mention, Louis’s father was...

“Don’t even think about it,” Richard declared firmly as if knowing what Anxia was thinking.

“Oh, come on. You’re too overprotective of your daughter. After all, she is still five.”

“Precisely because she is still five. I don’t want any bugs swarming her. You don’t realize she is getting as appealing as you every day.”

Anxia pursed her mouth to hold back her laughter. She knew her daughter was far more stunning than her, and she was sure that her daughter’s beauty would be able to match that of the rotten Quinn.

But she still felt happy because Richard thought she was beautiful even when she talked about their daughter.

Luckily Louis didn’t hear their conversation because Richard spoke his last sentence in a whisper, and Louis focused on Lori’s voice, who was excited about the story.

When Richard finished parking his car in the parking lot, the four got out together and walked along Kensington Park. Lori and Louis walked first while trotting happily, while Richard and Anxia walked behind them, watching the two of them.

“Richie, stop scowling like that. After all, Lori will still be with us before she’s finally taken away with a man.”

Richard didn’t respond to his wife’s words and just walked following the two small children who didn’t seem to care about the two adults following them from behind.

“Richie... if you had to choose between me and Lori, which would you choose?”

“…” Richard no longer glanced to the front but to the side to avoid his wife’s suspicious gaze.

“Hmm? Which one?” Anxia teased her husband by walking in front of Richard and then stepping back, but Richard even tilted his body and didn’t want to see his wife’s naughty gaze.

How could Richard choose? He would not be able to choose between the two women he loved the most.

Maybe one day, Richard would let his daughter go when Lori found her soul mate, but at least that was still a long way off. At the very least, he wouldn’t give his daughter permission to date before she was thirty.

“LORI!!”

“LORI!!”

In an instant, Richard and Anxia turned their heads towards the front as two other boys’ voices called their daughter in a loud voice.

You can see that Anxia’s eyes lit up when she saw two other good-looking boys coming to her daughter. Instead of feeling wary, she was proud to see her daughter had many fans.

On the other hand, Richard could only cry alone.
