Ulric nodded without hesitation, “Deal.”
Jake looked at him suspiciously, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll get into the backend and delete all your data, causing chaos in W Group?”
Gaining access to the backend with Ulric’s permissions would be like holding the power of life and death over W Group. Many important documents and confidential data would be clearly visible.
Ulric’s clear and magnetic voice laughed, “Go ahead and delete all you want. After all, the company will belong to you and your sister in the future.”
“Huh?” Jake immediately thought of a TV plot he had watched before and pouted, “When you have a new wife and new kids, you won’t say that!”
He smiled helplessly yet indulgently, patting his son’s head.
“I will only ever have your mommy as my wife, or I will remain alone for the rest of my life.”
Looking at his clever and adorable son, Ulric even felt he shouldn’t ask for too much more. Having two children with Rosalind was something he hadn’t dared to dream of during the four years since their divorce.
The more he had, the more he feared it was all just an illusion.
Rosalind came out of the bathroom to see the father and son, who shared the same face, laughing happily together.
How long had it been since she saw Jake genuinely smile?
Since he started looking more and more like Ulric, and she sent him abroad, their meetings had been few and far between. Now, by his father’s side, he was visibly happy, with a bright and carefree smile.
This was the innocence a child should have.
If it weren’t for Ulric’s presence, she would have taken out her phone to capture her son’s smiling moment.
“Are you feeling unwell?” Ulric noticed her first and walked over to her side.
“No,” Rosalind sat back down and glanced at him. “I’ve eaten enough. Can I see him now?”
“Yes, I’ll drive you there tomorrow morning,” he promised firmly.
Rosalind didn’t object since it was too late today; meeting now would be inconvenient.
“Then I’ll leave first.”
She stood up to leave.
Seeing her stand up, Jake immediately clutched his stomach and groaned, “Oh… my stomach suddenly hurts!”
Rosalind had never seen her son like this before. In her panic, she forgot to hide her concern from Ulric and quickly turned back to Jake’s side.
“Where does it hurt? Let me see!”
Jake lifted his face with a pitiful look, “Maybe it’s from those cold colas today… my stomach hurts so much… Miss, can you rub it for me?”
Rosalind was about to reach out when she suddenly remembered that Ulric was still beside them!
Was she acting too anxious?
“Um… let your dad rub it for you!”
Ulric paused for a moment. His eyes caught Jake’s signal. With a slight frown and a difficult tone, he said, “But I have a video conference starting soon. Rosalind, could you take care of my son for a bit?”
Rosalind was already reluctant to leave like this. Seeing an excuse to stay, she nodded immediately! Though she pretended to be reluctant on the surface.
“Is that okay? He… doesn’t really like me.”
“Just take care of him for a while. I’ll take over after my meeting.”
“Alright then, I’ll do you this favor! But hurry up.”
Rosalind picked up her son and carried him towards his bedroom.
Jake wrapped his arms around his mommy’s neck and didn’t forget to secretly make faces at Ulric!
