What's more, he wondered why he met Emma Smith so late, why he wasn't the first one to know her, to fall in love with her. Why, that beautiful and exquisite body was also enjoyed by Dylan King...
He knew that dwelling on these thoughts wouldn't change the facts. Overthinking would only bring him more pain and serve no purpose.
So, even though he knew the child was obedient and smart, he couldn't wholeheartedly like him.
He believed that Thomas Smith felt the same way.
However, the two of them were brought together because of Emma Smith. And it was because of her that they had to live together. Since Thomas already called him "Uncle Thomson," he, as the adult, didn't need to hold any grudges with a child.
So, he nodded: "Tommy, come here."
Thomas hesitated for a moment and then looked at his mom. After receiving his mom's approving gaze, he walked over and put his little hand into Robert's large palm.
