Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 579 Sir, Are You My Daddy

At that moment, it was quite apparent from the look on William's face how surprised he was when he

saw the little boy who was holding Violet's hand.

The original plan was that Carla would drive Violet and Cody home before she headed back to the

Seaview Villa with Sally.

But upon seeing that man waiting for them outside, it seemed that there wouldn't be a need to do that.

When she noticed William standing outside, Violet reflexively got in front of Cody as though she was

trying to protect him from something.

Feeling a bit curious, Cody took a peek at the man who was standing in front of the car. For some

reason, he felt somewhat familiar with him. That being said, he opted not to approach him.

"Let me just drive the two of you home. It's already a bit late, so you shouldn't be bothering Carla,"

William said as he walked toward them.

As he spoke, his eyes were completely glued to the boy hiding behind Violet.

It took the best of him to hold back his smile and it was plain to see that this boy was his son because

he resembled him so much.

"So... Violet, what do you say? Why don't you just head back in William's car?"

Carla suggested, albeit reluctantly. This was the first time William had ever met his son, so they would

probably need to get some family time. It would be better for her to leave the three of them to

themselves.

At the end of the day, blood is thicker than water.

"Come on, Violet! Let's go."

Before Violet could give any response, William grabbed a hold of her hand and led her into his car.

After a futile struggle, Violet got into the car even though she really would've preferred not to.

"Sir, I can do it myself. You don't have to help me."

Turning down William's offer, Cody climbed up to the backseat all by himself.

Hearing the word "sir" made William turn frigid for a second, filling his chest with pain and bitterness.

After shutting the door, he got in the driver's seat.

Taking a look at the woman sitting right beside him and the boy at the backseat of his car, William had

conflicting emotions. Being treated like a stranger by his son made him feel so empty deep inside. But

at the same time, he also felt glad that he was able to make a bit of progress in his relationship with

Violet and Cody. After all these years of waiting for a chance to reconnect with her, he could finally feel

a sense of relief.

Outside the An Manor, even Carla felt at ease as she watched the three of them drive away in William's

car.

She sincerely hoped that Violet and William could still settle their differences somehow and get a bit

closer to each other this time around.

That was the way relationships worked sometimes.

It doesn't take too much to hurt someone, but in contrast, it would most definitely take a lot for their

wounds to heal.

Once a person had gotten hurt, the scar would forever be there every single time they look at it.

One might be able to forget how painful it was back then, but that person could never ignore the scars

that had been felt behind.

Now that Violet and Cody had gone, Carla was about to head back as well to take Sally into the

Seaview Villa.

However, before they could step into the car, a familiar SUV pulled over right in front of them.

A smile crept onto her face the second Carla recognized who it was. Why did he come back as well?

She thought that he was going to camp out with the others for tonight.

"Daddy!"

Sally cried out, all smiles, and bounced up and down the moment she realized that it was Terence who

was sitting inside the car.

Terence stepped out of the car and walked toward them. Then, he suddenly grabbed Sally with one

hand as well as Carla's hand with the other.

"Why did you come back as well? You could've stayed with your friends. I thought you were gonna go

camping with Theo and the others."

Carla asked as soon as they all got into the car.

"Well, I was thinking about it, and I came to realize that I will probably just get so bored if I sleep inside

a tent by myself without you next to me. So, I thought, why don't I just head back and stay with my wife

and my daughter?" Terence gave her a smile as he tightened his grip on her hand.

"But what about Sean? Did he also go back home?"

"Yes, I had someone drive him home, so you don't have to worry about him. He should have already

arrived there by now."

As they continued their conversation, the three of them drove back to the Seaview Villa.

While Terence and Carla were still on their way home, Violet and Cody had arrived at the hotel they

were staying in, riding in William's car.

However, the moment he exited the car and saw the hotel, William couldn't help but frown. The hotel

was a rather subpar hotel in JA City's standards. It was run-down and in quite a miserable state, most

likely in a poor sanitary condition as well.

"Violet, allow me to book another hotel for you. You shouldn't be living in a place like this," William

suggested.

Even though they weren't really on the same level as the An family, the Qi family was still considered

one of the richest families in all of JA City.

Now that he found out that his beloved wife and son were living in such an unpleasant hotel, how could

he just sit back and watch as the two of them stayed in that place?

"No, it's fine. That won't be necessary. Thank you for driving us back. How much do I have to pay you?"

From the way it looked, it seemed that Violet was seriously planning to pay him the fare.

Hearing her say such a thing, William couldn't believe his ears as a grim expression appeared on his

face. "Where's your room?"

"What are you planning to do? William, I actually thought that you were simply being nice when you

offered to drive us back. Now you're telling me that you want to go to my room? What on earth do you

intend to do to a single mother and her child?"

Violet asked him, with her eyes wide open and her hand tightly holding onto Cody.

"You should know that I'm not planning to do anything bad. I just really want to find you a better hotel.

This is such a terrible one. And even if you don't mind staying in this place, what about Cody? Why

don't you just consider your son's well-being?

The temperature tends to shift quite a lot during the day so kids are highly likely to catch a cold. And

add to that the poor sanitation in this place, what do you think is gonna happen to Cody?"

William was forced to use their son in order to convince her to accept his offer.

"Mom, why don't we invite him in to have a cup of tea?" This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Being the sweet little child that he was, Cody went ahead and suggested.

Despite his mother appearing to be on edge, he didn't perceive this man as such a bad guy. In fact, it

even seemed that he truly cared about his mother and him.

Violet intended to hurl something back at him, however, she caved in when she saw Cody's eyes

looking as though they were pleading for her to do it.

It was at that point that she came to the sudden realization that it was a bad idea to let these two meet.

It looked like a son sensing some sort of connection with his father, so he was able to feel something.

That could probably be the reason why Cody was eager to find out more about William.

When they let William into the room, everything was just as he had expected it would be.

The room was almost devoid of any furnishings, and stains were all over the place. Apart from that,

there was a revolting smell emanating from the bathroom.

Then, he noticed the suitcase lying in the corner.

Without uttering a single word, he gathered the clothes on the coat hanger, the books and the phone

charger which was on the table, and proceeded to shove them into the suitcase.

"William, what do you think you're doing?"

Violet immediately stopped him from packing things into her suitcase. "You don't have to clean up this

place. We're only planning to stay here for one or two days. Besides, Cody will have to go back to

school, so we really won't be staying for too long."

It seemed that William wasn't able to hear a thing she said as he simply continued packing their

belongings.

"Violet, I'm not going to let you live here, not even for a single day. Come on and take Cody. You're

going to leave this place with me!"

However, Violet simply stayed put while staring straight into his eyes.

Seeing as she wasn't planning to do as he said, William carried Cody in his arms and walked out the

door as he pulled the luggage behind him.

When she saw him take Cody away, Violet went into a state of panic and quickly ran after him.

"William, what the hell are you doing? Put my son down this instant!"

William was pacing fast, so by the time Violet came to her senses and ran out of the room to go after

him, he had already gone down the stairs, bringing Cody and the suitcase with him.

"Wait a minute, Miss! You haven't checked out yet."

The receptionist stopped Violet in her tracks when she reached the lobby.

As that was happening, William exited the hotel holding Cody in his hand. Then, he put the suitcase

into the trunk right away.

"Sir, let's wait for mommy. I don't want to leave her behind..."

The four-year-old boy stared at William with an apprehensive look in his eyes.

He might have been curious about this man's identity and even felt safe being around him, but he had

no intention of leaving her mother whatsoever.

"Don't worry. You're not going to leave your mother. I just want the two of you to live a better life."

Upon telling him that, William opened the car door and put Cody in the backseat.

"Sir... I was just wondering. Are you my daddy?"

Cody asked from out of the blue, his eyes beginning to well up with tears.
