Chapter 276: Chapter 276: Being a Good Dad (6)

"Um, okay, thank you, Auntie." Bryan Hawkins expressed his gratitude, helped Axel take off his wet clothes, and, after Emily Hill brought a set of Henry Ruiz’s clothes over, they closed the door and started showering in the bathroom, with laughter occasionally coming from inside.

Axel was the happiest of all. Carolline Ruiz let the porridge cool down and joined her parents in the living room, waiting for the father and son horsing around inside. Her face didn’t look very good.

"Come on, it’s a rare chance for Axel to have fun with his dad. Don’t be like this." Emily Hill said, prompting Carolline to regain her composure. She asked Henry Ruiz, "By the way, Bryan has been with Axel all this time, isn’t he busy at work?"

He’s in charge of such a big company. There are so many chain hotels in the country, not to mention the foreign market he’s been expanding into these years. He used to not take any vacation for a year, and now he’s unexpectedly idle, which is a bit worrisome.

"It should be fine, I think he said he would take a week off. I have tomorrow off, so I’m making him go fishing with me," Henry Ruiz replied, watching TV. He didn’t think too much about it. Besides, it’s not a big deal to take a week off after being busy for so many years.

"Huh, you’ve already made plans. I see not only Axel is happy when he’s back." Emily Hill glanced at Carolline and saw her expression becoming uncontrollable again, "Carolline, stop holding grudges against Bryan. Actually, the misunderstandings between the two of you are your mother’s fault."

Everyone could see that Carolline was still angry with Bryan. Emily Hill sighed, deciding to talk about her very wrong behavior years ago. She had been regretful all these years. If she hadn’t taken the initiative to say those words to Bryan Hawkins back then, they wouldn’t be like this today.

Axel wouldn’t have to endure all these years without a father. Just look at these past two days: Axel’s childish nature has been released. In the past, anyone who saw Axel would think he’s precocious and mature, which was heart-wrenching.

It is said that naughty children are happy children, while obedient children may have some sad experiences behind them.

"What do you mean?" Henry Ruiz didn’t quite get it, and anyway, he didn’t need to take responsibility for persuading Carolline.

Emily Hill recounted the incident when she went to talk to Bryan Hawkins behind their backs years ago. She was impulsive at the time, thinking that Bryan Hawkins being with Carolline brought a lot of bad things to her. However, after proving otherwise, she realized that Carolline had a smooth life all these years after Bryan left, but her grandson suffered.

"I see, it’s not Bryan’s fault after all," Henry Ruiz exclaimed, addressing Carolline.

Carolline didn’t expect that her mother and Bryan Hawkins had such an incident between them. She suddenly couldn’t remember how they parted ways at that time, thinking that they seemed to be getting closer and closer, yet suddenly drifting apart one day. This might be the reason.

Carolline didn’t say anything. She figured the father and son duo should be done showering soon, so she went to serve the dishes. As soon as she was done, the father and son duo came out of the bathroom with an apologetic look on their faces, looking refreshed.

"Time to eat. Axel, this time is forgiven, but from now on, you’re not allowed to take a bath before meals. It’s not good to get hungry while showering; do you understand?" Carolline took the opportunity to lecture Axel, then walked over and took the wet towel from Bryan Hawkins, "Give it to me."

Bryan Hawkins was slightly surprised at that moment, as Carolline seemed to show less resistance towards him, which made him feel thrilled.

Handing the towel to Carolline, Axel was already sitting at the dinner table, calling out to him, "Dad, come and eat, there’s braised chicken legs that Axel liked. Axel’s saving them for Dad to eat."
