Become the Wife of A CEO

Hearing Neo’s words, Clara got a little nervous, afraid that Neo would perceive something wrong.

Clara comforted herself, “No, that’s impossible.” However smart Neo was, he was only five years old. Besides, Clara and Logan had never told Neo anything about Horace. Instead, Clara lied to Neo that his father died when he was born. And Neo believed it with every fiber of his being.

Forcing a relaxed smile, Clara said, “Neo, you are so small while he is much older than you. I don’t think he looks like you.”

In fact, Neo took more after Clara than Horace. However, Clara felt Neo looked like Horace from time to time.

“Really?” Neo said in a somewhat chagrined voice, “It just feels like I’ve seen him somewhere before, but I don’t remember.”

Neo scratched his hair, trying to recall Horace from his memory, but it was clearly impossible.

Really? Hearing what Neo said, Clara was amused and panicked. This was Neo’s first time seeing Horace, but he had such a feeling. What if Neo saw Horace face to face? Would Horace have the same feeling?

Thinking of this, Clara grasped Neo’s hand, afraid. Clara was afraid that Neo would leave her for Horace!

“Mom, it hurts.” Neo frowned and tried to break free from Clara’s hand.

“I’m sorry.” Clara realized what was going on and then hurriedly let go of Neo’s hand. “I’m sorry, Neo. Let me give you a hand rub.” Clara squatted down and guiltily rubbed Neo’s hand.

Neo rolled his eyes and was annoyed that Clara still treated him as a kid.

“Mom, do you think that man looks a lot like me?” Neo didn’t give up.

“Is that so?” Clara’s face darkened. “I don’t think you and he are alike.”

Letting go of Neo’s soft hand, Clara stood up and pulled him outside, “Well, Neo, your uncle is still waiting for us at home. You told me you missed him, so let’s hurry home, OK?”

“Okay!” When Neo heard this, he instantly forgot Horace and ran happily to the front. “Mom, come on! Let’s go see Logan quickly!”

“Okay.” When Clara saw the smile on Neo’s face, her mood improved. “Don’t run too fast and watch out for the cars.”

Soon, Clara and Neo arrived at the Hutchinson’s by taxi.

“Uncle Logan!” As soon as Neo saw Logan, he broke away from Clara’s hand and ran quickly towards Logan.

Logan froze. The next second, he squatted, opened his arms wide, and waited for Neo with great affection in his eyes.

Jumping into Logan’s arms, Neo rubbed his head against Logan’s chest with tears in his eyes. “Uncle, I miss you so much.”

Since childhood, Logan was the second nicest to Neo. Neo had never been separated from Logan for such a long time, so Neo especially missed Logan.

After Logan heard Neo’s words, his eyes were moist. “I miss you as well. Have you listened to your mother these days?”

Hearing this, Neo pouted. He was upset about being treated as a kid again. In his mind, he was much more mature than his peers.

After that, Neo raised his head from Logan’s arms and curiously surveyed the furnishings of the house. “Is this our new house?”

“Yes.” Logan gently rubbed Neo’s head. “Do you like it? I’ll have someone show you your room. If there’s anything you don’t like, I will get a new one for you.”

“That’s great!” Neo immediately jumped out of Logan’s arms. “Uncle, where is my room?” Neo attached great importance to his room, which, after all, was his private sphere.

Neo had been crying in Logan’s arms a few minutes ago. But now he was wearing an excited and expectant smile. Seeing this, Logan was amused and shook his head.

Logan asked a servant to show Neo around his room and take care of Neo.

“You’re spoiling him,” After the servant carefully led Neo upstairs, Clara turned her head and said to Logan.

“Don’t worry. I know where to stop. Your son won’t be spoiled,” Logan took the handbag in Clara’s hand and hung it on a hanger, saying in a joking tone.

Shaking her head, Clara sat on the sofa, and then Logan sat opposite her.

“You should have asked me to pick you up at the airport. I thought it would take you a few days to return.”

“You were right, but Neo said he missed you. Then I had no choice but to come in advance.” Clara said with a smile, “I don’t want to bother you or have you miss your work.”

“I’m not that busy.” Logan put on a long face. “I’m your brother. You can’t always distance yourself from me.”

“Well.” Clara hurriedly smiled and waved her hand. She was still afraid of hearing this. “Logan, now that we are family, you shouldn’t take it so seriously. Besides, Neo and I were both here. You can’t wear such a long face all the time.”Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

A smile played on Logan’s lips. Clara knew Logan well over these years, so she was good at livening up his mood.

However, looking at Clara who was smiling happily, Logan got worried, wondering whether it was the right decision for her to come back.

“What’s wrong, Logan?” Clara did not know why Logan suddenly gave a worried look.

Logan said with a serious look, “How do you feel after returning home? If you really don’t want to stay here, I can send you back immediately.”

“It’s fine.” Clara smiled and looked Logan in the eye, saying, “I did not do anything wrong back then, so there’s nothing here to be afraid of. What’s more, I’m tired of running away. I’m going to brave whatever happens.”
