Chapter 1114 Chapter 1114
"Behave for you Uncle Zimo and his friend." Ilya told his son, Nikolai as he made sure his son was dressed properly.
Angelo and Yu Zimo patiently stood by the door as they watch a father say goodbye to his son.
To any passer by it would seem like this was your average farewell as a little boy was off to spend the night with his uncle, but beneath the surface there was much more going on.
Angelo knew that there was a chance that Ilya would never get to see his son again.
"I will papa." Nikolai promised as he hugged his father and ran over to Angelo and Yu Zimo who were each carrying one of Nikolai's bags.
"Don't worry, Ilya, I'll watch over him." Yu Zimo promised as Nikolai walked over to them, holding his hand tight.
Ilya looked at the two n and the young boy and gave them a sad smile.
It was as if he knew the results of tomorrow's eting already.
"Thank you." Ilya said as he silently walked with Angelo, Yu Zimo, and Nikolai to the car.
As they stood by the car door, Ilya seed to want to say sothing.
It was clear from the look on his eyes that there was sothing he feared and wanted to talk to Yu Zimo about.
"Why don't you get Nikolai settled in the car." Yu Zimo said as he tossed Angelo his car keys. "I think Ilya and I need to have a word."
Angelo silently nodded as he opened the trunk of Yu Zimo's car and piled up Nikolai's belongings.
"Mr. An, my dad seems extra sad today." Nikolai told the older man as Angelo looked back at the two n who were speaking at a distance.
"I'm sure he's just sad to be away from you." Angelo told Nikolai as he slamd the trunk and led Nikolai to the back seat of the car.
He looked up and saw that Yu Zimo and Ilya seed nowhere near ending their conversation, so he decided to speak to the child a little more.
Maybe it could help them turn Ilya against Colin Jao.
"So do you stay at Uncle Zimo's place often?" Angelo asked as he slid into the backseat with Nikolai.
"Mmmm, a bit." Nikolai said as he thought carefully before answering Angelo's question. "But I like spending ti with Uncle Zimo, we play gas and he takes to amusent parks and malls. I also like Uncle Zimo's place, it's much nicer than ours."
Angelo nodded as he realized that Ilya seed to often be in precarious situations due to the work he did for Collin Jao.
"Do you stay long with Uncle Zimo?" Angelo further questioned.
"Nope, usually it's just a day or two, Dad never packed these many things." Nikolail said as a worried look crossed his young face. "Do you think Dad will take long? I like Uncle Zimo, but I like spending ti with Dad more."
Angelo caught himself as he was about to frown.
He was certain that Ilya wouldn't be gone for just a day or two.
Based on his experience, it took much longer to crack a man like Ilay.
"I'm sure ti will pass quickly since you'll be having fun with Uncle Zimo." Angelo told Nikolai as he tried to deviate from the truth.
"Uncle Zimo and you! I like you, you're nice and you have a nice face." Nikolai pointed out.
"Thanks." Angelo said with an awkward smile, not knowing what to tell the child.
Just as he was about to continue asking Nikolai questions, Yu Zimo and Ilya returned. It was clear that whatever discussion they had was a heavy one, because both n didn't seem to be relieved by their discussion.
"Rember to behave, I'll call you when I'm on my way ho." Ilya told his son as he gave the child one last hug before letting Angelo and Yu Zimo leave with his son.
As they drove off, Yu Zimo asked Angelo to fish sothing out of his glove compartnt. It was a small juice packet, most likely sothing prepared by Yu Zimo for instances such as there.
"Here Nikolai, do you want so?" Yu Zimo asked Nikolai as he handed the juice packet to the boy.
"Yes, thank you Uncle Zimo!" Nikolai said as he excitedly took the drink and quickly consud it.
They hadn't driven far when Angelo noticed that Nikolai had fallen sound asleep in the backseat of the car.
"It's fine, we can talk now." Yu Zimo said as he looked at the clock in the car. "I had to put so dication in his drink."
"Why is it that Ilya kept trying to imply that we," Angelo said as he gestured between him and Yu Zimo. "Are more than just friends?"
Yu Zimo chuckled and shook his head.
"Because Ilya is a painfully jealous boyfriend and the only way I could see my best friend, Nikolai's mother is if I pretended to be gay."
"And you have now dragged into this ss?" Angelo asked with a sigh. "Even the child thinks we might be more than friends."
"He won't for long." Yu Zimo said with a sigh as they neared Guan Ming's residence.
"You are seriously taking him here? Not to one of your empty apartnts?" Angelo asked.
He had managed to figure out based on what Nikolai told him that Yu Zimo would take the child to one of his empty apartnts in the city.
"No, not this ti." Yu Zimo said, shaking his head. "The stakes are too high and I will not allow that child to be hard."
Angelo nodded in understanding.
Yu Zimo clearly cared about Nikolai as if he was his own, sothing that made Angelo suspicious, but he chose not to say anything else.
When they arrived, Yu Zimo ordered the staff to take Nikolai's things to the neighboring guest house, a residence Angelo ca to learn was actually where Yu Zimo lived.
As they walked back to the residence they bumped into Al who looked at Nikolai curiously.
"Let put him to bed, then we will talk." Yu Zimo simply said as he walked past the two n with a child in his arms.
