53 Chapter 53: Mommy Vs Daddy

Shortly after the phone call ended, the door to Sid's penthouse occupying the top most level of W Residences opened with a bang, a handsome small figure emerged and bolted inside the unit.

...

W Residences is a 53-storey prime condominium residential building developed by The Walsh Lifescapes, a wholly owned subsidiary and the real estate arm managed by The Walsh Group and is currently ranked second amongst the rest of the other top developers in the country.

The modern premier club amenities of the property includes an open resort-like swimming pool, a seperate and enclosed private luxury pool, a sports area, gaming area, an entertainment and film room, a clinic, luxury spa room, function rooms, gym, music room, a library, chapel and a cafe and restaurant. It was such a grand project among other forty other real estate projects of The Walsh Lifescapes that has been in the industry of property development which objective is to provide for urban settlers a comfortable, convenient and secured lifestyle right at the center of the business district in the Metro.

Sid's penthouse being at the top most level is an exclusive unit that can only be accessed through a private lift separate from the elevators being used by the other residents. The main rooftop also have a designated helipad which is an exclusive privilege limited for vip property owners's use only.

Sid Walsh, being the Chairman and President of The Walsh Lifescapes basically has all the rights and access to each and every facility of the entire building. He seldom frequented the place but whenever he does, it only lasted for a couple of days during an official business. The man himself prefers going home at the Villa instead despite the distance from work.

However today, he felt like he had just moved in and with his 'wife' and son at that. Having the both of them together in his penthouse for the very first time made it looked like just a normal home. It was kind of appealing now.

...

"Mommy, mommy!" Little Louie shouted merrily. He was so excited to meet his 'mother' whom he misses so much. Truly, a day away felt like forever for a motherless child.

The child's eyes frantically roamed around to search the place and the moment he spotted a familiar figure from a distance, he hurriedly dashed towards that particular direction.

A certain father on the other hand who had just opened the door himself was completely ignored by the little fellow. The reception was indeed quite baffling. He got nothing, not one h.e.l.lo from his own son. Sid was having complex emotions at the moment. But his heart swelled immediately upon witnessing the scene before him.

...

Laurice saw the little young master running towards the kitchen and she was incredibly delighted that she beemed. With a huge smile on her face, she bent down to pick up the child who charges at her and instantly wrapped his little arms around her neck and burried himself for a tight embrace. She hugged the little one affectionately and spin him a couple of times enthusiastically.

"Sweetie! You're here!" Laurice said dotingly.

Coming from the woman who was a guest herself. She got even more excited when she felt the soft and cuddly body of the little child in her arms. Her heart mellowed when she smelled his faint and fresh smell that is oddly calming her senses down.

Little Louie propped his head to look at the woman and said earnestly, "Mommy, i missed you!"

Laurice felt her heart swelled with the gesture and words of the child. She gently stroke Louie's back and replied to him, "I missed you too sweetie. Did you come to see me? Have you eaten yet?"

Little Louie's eyes twinkle when he heard his 'mother' say that she missed him too. He nodded in response and said to her instead, "I'm hungry mommy."

Butler Han who just came inside heard what the child have said and was completely astounded.

'Little Young Master! Didn't you just said awhileback that you weren't hungry at all? You refused to eat and gave everyone a cold shoulder so early in the morning. You even ransacked your closet for an outfit and demanded to see the Young Miss in an instant!'

The butler was shrieking from the inside.

Sid noticed the perplexed expression on his family butler's face and he could somehow deduce what had happened back at the Villa. He knew Louie has always been an obedient child who never throws a tantrum ever since but it seemed something indeed changed however in his eyes, it only made his son even more adorable and childlike.

Looking at him right now, Sid couldn't have ever imagined an even better way to raise this particular child of his. Being a single parent was never a problem for him at all but it appears that he was still lacking in so many ways as a father. He realized there are just somethings he can never provide himself alone.

Something like a mother's affection, for that matter.

...

Laurice was stunned. The child looked really hungry and she felt a tender squeeze in her heart with the sight of him. Little Louie came to see her with an empty stomach, how can she not do something about it. For a moment there, she s.h.i.+fted her gaze towards a particular person and found him looking somehow dejected as he stood there with the family butler. Her eyes narrowed in confusion and remembered something that made her lightly chuckle.

'Was the man jealous that she was getting such affection from his own son instead?'

Laurice crouched down as she held the child by the waist and spoke to him gently, "Go greet your father first. Auntie will feed you afterwards. I made you breakfast!"

Little Louie's face grimaced with her reply.

'What Auntie?'

He looked even more sullen than before but still reminded himself to behave properly and obediently towards his 'mother'. He could not afford to disappoint her at any cost even it means talking with his own father who robbed him of his 'mother' for two nights straight already.

Little Louie hesitated for a second before letting go with his hands and regretted it immediately, the feel of his 'mother's' warmth lingered on his own body and he was missing it already. He lethargically stride at his father's direction teary-eyed and extended his arms towards him.

He pouted and called lazily for him, "Daddy."

...

'This ...'

Sid felt complicated somehow. His child looked unwilling to part with Laurice that he was almost in the brink of tears. But still obediently did what he was told. It was amusing that he could not help but laugh and cry inwardly.

"Hmm." He acknowledged the simple greeting with a nod.

Sid lifted up his son and carried him in his arms only to walked him back to where Laurice's at. His son's sullen face turned brighted when they've reached her.

Louie immediately leaned over Laurice with arms stretched forward which made her stiffle a laughter.

Meanwhile, Sid was pulling off such a long-face and was feeling wretched inside. He was being helpless towards the both of them already.

"Oh! Sweetie, don't you miss your father? I bet he misses you last night. Look, he's unhappy." Laurice teasingly remarked.

A twinge of guilt flashed across Louie's face as he glanced at his father who was indeed looking quite unhappy. He patted his father's head twice before pulling back and s.h.i.+fted his gaze at Laurice.

"Mommy, hug." He pleaded.

Laurice suddenly felt her heart skip a beat with the notion. Her own body launches forward and swept the litte child back in her arms. 'Oh and it felt so good to hug him back!'

Sid: " ... "

'Am i not the 'husband' and father of this household?'

Why was he always being left out by these two?

Sid was at a loss for words. He realized his son only acted all mature towards him but was such a baby towards Laurice. And Louie was being pampered a lot by his newly found 'mother' while he can only watch them interact rather affectionately from aside.

He pursed his lips and groaned inwardly.

It seemed the 'husband' wanted to be pampered as well!
