Chapter 1404: Chapter 1401: Different Kisses, Hugs, and Lifts (Extra 1)

Aidan Lucas stood up and purposely glanced aside, not wanting Ben Lucas to see the slight loneliness in his eyes.

He walked to the other side of the bed and sat down with his back to Ben.

"Go find your mother, it’s still early now, they haven’t gone to rest," the man’s voice was low and seemed a bit awkward.

But on listening closely, it might not seem like that, as if he was deliberately holding back something, not wanting Ben to know.

Ben slightly turned his head to look at the tall figure of the man sitting on the bed.

He looked so tall, but at that moment, it instantly reminded Ben of the figure that had left that day.

The faint outline of the figure, as if about to disappear.

That Aidan Lucas, it tugged at his heart.

Ben had originally jumped off the bed, ready to make a run for it.

But when he turned and saw Aidan Lucas’s lonely and indifferent back, he suddenly felt an unexpected sense of reluctance.

He looked back at the door, then turned to look at Aidan Lucas again.

After several such back-and-forths, he sighed heavily, then turned and climbed back onto the bed, throwing himself onto his father’s back in one swift move.

"You didn’t leave?" Aidan Lucas turned his head to look at the boy lying on his back, his deep eyes revealing a hint of surprise.

"Hmph, don’t be smug, I just think you look pitiful," Ben rarely took the initiative to hug his father’s neck, his little face haughtily turning to one side.

Aidan Lucas’s eyes flickered, a triumphant smile flashing through the profound darkness of his eyes.

Then, looking at his son, he said with a touched tone, "Thank you, Ben."

Little Ben’s face flushed with embarrassment, and feeling awkward, he turned his face away, naturally missing the flash of brilliance in his father’s eyes.

Aidan Lucas curled his lips into a smile, then suddenly turned around and lifted the little lad up.

"What... what are you doing, put me down..."

Aidan Lucas ignored Ben’s cries of alarm and directly lifted him above his head and onto his own neck.

He stood up and raised Ben, who was draped behind his neck, even higher.

"Didn’t you always want Daddy to lift you high up? Tonight, Daddy will play ’lift high high’ with you," he said.

"Who... who ever wanted to be lifted high! Put me down now!"

Ben clung to Aidan Lucas, his voice tinged with disdain, but his eyes betrayed a look of delighted surprise.

"I’m your dad, and even though our Ben is so smart, he can’t fool his dad. When Dad played with Lulu, Ben clearly envied them."

Aidan Lucas could see the memories of the second personality and naturally discern the subtleties that the second personality could not.

Little Ben’s gaze when watching him play with Lulu was the same as when he was a child.

Back then, when he watched Theodore Lucas carrying Nolan Lucas and holding Evelyn Lucas, it was with the same look.

Obviously itching with envy and longing, but he could only mask it with an indifferent and disdainful gaze.

Ben had long become accustomed to indifference, as well as independence.

Though he was not like his past self, his remarkable rationality and maturity kept him from voicing his envy of his brother and sister.

"I... I wasn’t envious!" The blush on Ben’s face deepened.

But he didn’t feel embarrassed because he sat upon his father’s shoulders, and even if his entire face was burning red, his father wouldn’t be able to see it.

That was also the reason why Aidan Lucas was able to directly address Ben’s concerns.

For a father and son to have no barriers between their hearts, they needed to face each other with honesty.

But directly poking at each other’s concerns could make the atmosphere uncomfortable.

Now was just right.

He addressed Ben’s concerns, allowing him to candidly face the desires in his heart.

And because they couldn’t see each other’s faces, it avoided the embarrassment of having their feelings laid bare.

Tonight, the bond between father and son grew much closer.

And for Jordan Lancaster, it was the first time he experienced what it felt like to be kissed, hugged, and lifted high by his dad.

He realized that in this world, apart from mother, there was another person who could also bring him warmth.
