“He’s doing very well without a father,” Maisy said bluntly, “I don’t think he needs one for the time being. If he needs one, I’l find one for him. Mr. Hamilton, you don’t have to worry about our personal matters.”

Actually, Lucas needed a father. Lucas always dreamed of having a father. Maisy was the one who couldn’t accept it. Maisy knew that she was being selfish, but she could not bear the pain of being separated from her son. In the past seven years, this little fellow was the best thing that happened to her.
Otherwise, she really did not know how to walk out of her rock bottom and how to live on. Therefore, the first time she saw Jay, she was very resistant.

“Personal matters? Maisy, it has been seven years since we last met. You have really grown up.” Jay could not listen anymore. He took a step forward and stood behind Maisy. He was so close to her that he could even smell the fragrance of her hair. With just a slight stretch of his hand, he could hug his
loved one that he had lost for many years. However, this woman was as cold as an enemy to him.

Sensing his approach, Maisy could not help but tremble. She forced herself not to look back at him, but she tried her best to keep her composure under his slightly aggrieved words. They had changed a lot after seven years.
Jay reached out his hand, wanting to hug the frail Maisy. But the moment he reached out his hand, a childish voice came from the kitchen door, “Uncle Jay, I don’t know how to use a coffee machine. Is fruit juice okay? It’s good for your health.”
Hearing their son’s voice, the two quickly bounced away, pretending that nothing had happened. One looked at the sky, and the other looked at the ground.

“Sure. I’ll like whatever you bring me.” Jay took the fragrant orange juice from Lucas and gently stroked his head. There was a hint of bitterness in his eyes when he looked Lucas, who looked 80% similar to him. This was his son. He could clearly feel the connection with the little guy. And he was so
well-behaved. Maisy had taught him well.

Maisy pretended not to notice the father and son’s interaction and continued to cut the vegetables. The scene went silent, there were only the continuous knife cutting sound. Jay drank the fruit juice elegantly, but his gaze never left Maisy.
Lucas saw all of this and shook his head helplessly. These two adults were really awkward, which worried him. It seemed that he had to start Plan A instantly and give them more opportunities to get along so that he could have a perfect family as soon as possible.
“Uncle Jay, are you free tomorrow? There’s a new amusement park nearby. I really want to go, but mommy has to go to work every day and doesn’t have time to go with me.” Lucas said in a childish tone. As he spoke, he winked at Jay, hoping that he would agree.

“Like father like son!” Jay thought in admiration. Lucas was really clever, just like him. He immediately nodded, wanting to agree. However, he heard Maisy say with a firm attitude, “Lucas, Uncle Jay is very busy. You shouldn’t ask him to take you there. I will go with you this Saturday, okay? We can’t
trouble Uncle Jay.”

Maisy gently tapped Lucas’s nose with her fingertip, asking for her son’s opinion. Recently, she had been quite busy, so she could not bring Lucas to the park. Seeing Lucas asked again, Maisy’s heart ached terribly, so she immediately promised that she would go with him.
However, Lucas obviously had already thought of a countermeasure. When he heard Maisy’s reply, he directly acted out the plot that he had rehearsed several times in his mind, “No, mommy is a bad child. I want Uncle Jay to take me there.”
“Lucas, why do you think mommy is a bad child?” Jay looked at his son playfully, “Did mommy lie to you as well?”

Lucas nodded vigorously. He looked at Jay as if he had found an ally. He kept repeating to Jay how Maisy did not keep her word. Maisy said that she would bring him to play, but she could not do so because how busy she was. She also did not allow him to eat hamburgers and fries. She also did not allow
him to play games. She also did not allow him to play on his phone for too long.

Maisy went speechless when she heard Lucas’s complains.
“But I still love mommy the most,” Lucas said. He went forward and hugged Maisy’s waist. He looked up at her. “Mommy, can you go to the amusement park with us? I want to go on a date with mommy.”
“That’s not a date,” Maisy corrected him and pinched his chubby face. “Aren’t you going with Uncle Jay?”

“The three of us, together.” Lucas refused to listen to her coquettishly. “Please, mommy.”

Who could refuse a six-year-old baby’s coquetry? But… to take him out with Jay. Maisy felt like she was going to faint just by thinking of it..
