“Really?” Justin pulled over to the side of the road and extended his hand. “Let me listen to it.”
Although it was an old phone, it had everything besides games.
Bryce merely glanced at him before turning his head to the other side. Stella saw the tension between the father and son and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you guys hungry?”
Justin looked at her.
“Students typically eat on time at school,” she said, pointing to her belly and then pointing to Bryce’s tummy. “He could be hungry later if we don’t get to the restaurant.” Justin’s expression softened slightly. “Why are you pointing to your stomach if you think he could be hungry later?” Stella scratched her head awkwardly. “I eat on time too.” When Justin heard this, he burst out laughing and shook his head. “You’re still a kid after all.”
A small grin appeared on Bryce’s face. Although he laughed along with them, there was disdain in his eyes. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
She was only 10 years older than him.
Justin was in his forties at the time. The age difference between them was too big. Even a child like him could tell what she was up to.
After arriving at the restaurant, Bryce consciously walked beside Justin. Meanwhile, Stella walked behind the two of them. Justin saw this and gave her a glance before grabbing her and pulling her along with him. She wanted to pull away when she felt his warm hands holding hers, but after she met his gaze, she let her hand intertwine with his. Bryce, who was standing nearby, pursed his lips and kept his mouth shut as he saw how intimate the two were, and turned his face away.
He was just 12 years old, yet he was nearly as tall as Stella.
She couldn’t help but sigh and wonder why today’s children were all so tall.
Roger was also extremely tall when he was younger. He suddenly became taller than her throughout middle school.
Justin grinned as he looked proudly at Bryce. “These days, kids need enough nutrients to grow taller, and also…
“I’m tall, so of course, my kid would be tall as well,” he said, pausing to gaze at Stella. Justin was 180 cm In height, which was quite decent for a man.
Out of nowhere, Bryce interrupted him and replied, “My mom is tall too. She’s 170 cm. Everyone said that I’m tall like her.” The minute he finished his words, tension immediately filled the dining table. Justin’s grin faded, and he looked at Bryce with a perplexing expression that appeared to be warning him.
Bryce avoided his gaze and lowered his head. Only Stella seemed to not realize what was going on. She didn’t see anything wrong with Bryce talking about his mother. She was much more fascinated now and inquired, “Do you look more like your mother or father?” When Bryce said such things, he had bad intentions, but when Stella didn’t mind and was really genuine to inquire
about it, he became irritated. He kept his lips shut and bowed his head to eat. The atmosphere abruptly got uncomfortable. Stella also saw his resistance to her, so she didn’t continue anymore.
Her mind was too simple.
Getting along with kids this age would need a lot of effort and patience. Justin’s face had totally darkened. Stella stopped him just as he was about to say something.” How’s my make-up?”
He came to his senses and realized she didn’t want him to fight with his kid. He then closed his eyes and patiently said, “It seemed to have worn off a little. Do you want to go touch up?”
