Chapter 1452
Adrian struggled instinctively. “Let me go. I need to find my mom!”
Sophia hoisted the boy up. “Your mom’s right here. Where else are you trying to find her? Behave; stop fussing. If you keep this up, Mom won’t take you out anymore.”
Adrian cried out. “You’re not my mom! Mom, don’t go. I’m here! Help me; the bad guy is catching me.”
Sophia was losing her patience.
Usually, Tristan was cold towards her and disobedient, but that was tolerable.
But today, he called her a bad guy?!
That was outrageous!
Just as she was about to give a piece of her mind to the spoiled kid while the man was away.
“What’s wrong?”
The man’s deep voice suddenly echoed from behind her.
Sophia had to swallow her scolding and turn to the man helplessly. “Marcus, I asked Tristan to come home, but he insisted on running. I had no choice but to hold him down.”
Adrian, held by Sophia, was still crying loudly for his mom to save him. But because he was wearing a Mechanical Hero mask, his face and expressions were hidden.
Upon hearing Sophia’s words, the man slightly furrowed his brows. “Stop crying. Come here to your dad.”
Adrian found the man’s voice pleasant. When he looked over, his crying paused, and he sniffled.
But all he saw was a man in a wheelchair, wearing a black mask and sunglasses. Unable to see the man’s face, he dared not approach.
For the sake of communicating with his son, the man temporarily removed his sunglasses and the mask. “Come here. Don’t make dad angry!”
Wow! Adrian was stunned. He’d never seen a man as handsome as this. He was even more handsome than Mechanical Hero before his transformation.
Like being under a spell, the little boy walked towards the man, innocently asking, “You’re so handsome. Are you also a Mechanical Hero?”
After hearing this nonsensical question, Marcus furrowed his eyebrows. “All you know is Mechanical Hero? Have you forgotten what dad told you? Boys shouldn’t cry easily, you know?”
Although his words were stern, his hands gently held the boy, lifting him into his arms and letting him sit on his lap.
Adrian stared at the man’s face as his little mind imagined a story where this man was a hidden superhero.
He was so handsome. It would be great if he were his dad.
Sophia was frustrated, but she couldn’t really hold a grudge against a child, so she let it go.
She watched as the man removed his sunglasses and mask and subconsciously looked around before reminding him, “Marcus, you should put your mask and sunglasses back on. The doctor said you’re allergic to UV light. Otherwise, you’ll have a rash again when we go home.”
The man responded casually and obediently put his mask back on,
Surrounding whispers of awe and discussion arose.
“Ladies! Did you see the man in the wheelchair just now when he removed his mask? Oh my! He’s so handsome!”
“I saw, I saw! He looks absolutely stunning, but his skin is a bit frighteningly pale.”
“He is in a wheelchair, so he must be unwell and rarely goes out in the sun. That’s probably why he’s so pale.”
“What a pity! He’s such a gorgeous man; it’d be great if he were healthy. The heavens sure are jealous of handsome men.”
