Chapter 25 Became Online Friends.

After returning to the room, Hugo bathed his son, then went into the bathroom himself. Jeremy was playing on the bed when an idea occurred to him, and a mischievous look flashed across his huge eyes.

Online dating is all the rage right now, isn’t it? he thought.

If Daddy chats with Pretty Lady every day, he’ll start online dating as well.

Jeremy thought for a moment. Daddy never takes the initiative to talk to girls, though. Moreover, Pretty Lady has never met Daddy before, so she doesn’t know how handsome Daddy is, and she’ll be too shy to make the first move.

Jeremy took the phone, his tiny lips curving upward.

I’ll kickstart things with Pretty Lady in Daddy’s place, then!

Jeremy held the phone and found Celia’s number, then sent her a rose emoji.

Following that, he racked his brains for a pickup line.

He was young, but he could read and write well. He sent another message that read, ‘Good evening. Are you asleep?”

Meanwhile, Celia arrived at her apartment and had just taken a bath. When she heard the phone next to her beeping, she took her phone and glanced at the new message. It was almost 9.30PM. Who could it be from?

When she tapped into the message, she was surprised to find that it was from Jeremy’s father.

When she read the contents of the message, she was even more stunned.

Was this parent chatting with her?

‘Hello. Yes, I’m still awake, she replied politely.

“My son likes you a lot. You’re a kind grill!”

When Celia saw the sentence, she couldn’t help but chuckle. What was with the typo?

She suspected that the sender of the message wasn’t Jeremy’s father but the boy himself, who kept trying to introduce his father to her.

Thank you! She decided not to expose Jeremy. Her foul mood tonight receded considerably when she saw his antics.

Jeremy was most likely behind the screen, for he was taking too long to reply to one message.

In the luxurious master bedroom. Jeremy tapped on his head, pouted, then bit his tiny lip. How do adults -usually chat?

What could he say in his father’s stead to catch Celia’s attention?

“My son says that you’re very pretty Jeremy sent another message, attaching another rose emoji at the end.

Celia found a book and started reading it as she patiently waited for Jeremy to send her a reply. When she

read the message, she smiled and responded, “Thank you very much.

Just then, Hugo’s tall figure strode out of the bathroom. He was very particular about privacy in his son’s presence, so he was already wearing black silk pajamas. When Hugo saw the boy looking at the phone wi his short legs swinging as he lay on the large bed, Hugo leaned in silently.

Hugo thought that Jeremy was playing some games on his phone, but he never expected his son to be earnestly typing out a message to send to someone.

Jeremy texted, ‘I want to meet you!”

After Jeremy hit the send button, he felt a drop of water plopping onto his forehead. He hastily looked up to see his father staring at him as he sent the message.

He hastily held the phone to his chest as he grinned. “I didn’t do anything bad, Daddy.”

“Are you using my phone to send messages to that pretty lady?” Hugo saw through his son’s behavior right S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

away.

Jeremy could only nod. “Don’t be mad, Daddy. I just thought it’d be a good idea for you to chat more ofter with Pretty Lady, and when you meet each other in person, you’ll fall in love.”

Hugo sighed in exasperation. Why did Jeremy like this girl so much?

“Alright, give me my phone. I’ll chat with her.” Hugo stretched his hand out.

“Really? You promise you’ll chat with her?”

“Yes!”

“Pinky promise. Jeremy stuck out his pinky, initiating the gesture.

Hugo stuck out his pinky as well, then sealed the agreement with his son.

When it was done, Jeremy passed the phone to Hugo, then pulled up the blanket and lay down. “Daddy, I’m going to sleep now. Have fun chatting with Pretty Lady!”

Hugo navigated to the messaging app and scrolled through his chat log, nearly chuckling in exasperation. Jeremy was only four years old, but he already knew his way around the ladies.

Just then, a new message came in. I’m sorry, but I’m quite busy these days. Let’s meet another time.”

By the looks of it, she had no intention of going out with him.

Hugo held his phone as he said to Jeremy, Tm going downstairs for some water. Go to sleep first.”

“Okay! Daddy, you have to be a little more passionate, and you should take the initiative. Only then will girls like you. Jeremy taught his father.

Hugo was speechless.

Did his son not know how popular he was?

“Just go to sleep!” With that, Hugo went downstairs with his phone.

Hugo sat on the couch, wondering if he should explain the situation to Celia via text.

However, after thinking about it, he decided that texting was too troublesome.

Also, he didn’t fancy chatting like this. Hence, he decisively dialed her number.

Celia was lying on the bed, reading while she awaited another message. Unexpectedly, her phone began ringing.

She took up her phone, her heart skipping a beat. Why was Jeremy calling her?

She assumed it was none other than Jeremy, so even before she answered the call, she was already smiling. After picking it up, she said in a sweet voice, “Hello! Is that you, cutie?”

“I’m his father.” A low and attractive man’s voice rang out..

Celia’s face turned red in an instant, and her heartbeat gradually hastened.

What? Jeremy’s father?

“Hello, Mr. Spencer,” Celia greeted, shock darting across her face. She realized a little too late that Jeremy’s last name was Spencer as well.

It wasn’t a common name in the city. What were the odds that Jeremy shared the same last name with the man she hated the most?

“Hello, my son was using my phone to send those messages to you just now. I hope it didn’t cause too much trouble for you.”

“It’s fine, I’m happy to chat with him. Celia’s pretty face continued burning.

He must have read the messages his son sent to her. She hoped he wouldn’t misunderstand.

She was just fooling around with Jeremy, and she didn’t mean it any other way.

“He’s still young, so please forgive him. I hope your husband won’t take it the wrong way.” Hugo sat on the couch, realizing he had relaxed quite a bit while chatting with this girl.

Was it because her voice was very similar to that woman’s?

When Celia heard that, she burst out laughing. “Husband? I don’t have a husband.”

“I saw you carrying a little girl at the museum last time. Wasn’t that your daughter?” Hugo asked.

Celia immediately came to her senses, surprised that Jeremy’s father had noticed her.

She explained, “No, that wasn’t my child. That was my friend’s daughter.”

Hugo was slightly surprised. “Really? I thought you were married.”

Celia couldn’t help but be a little nosy as she asked him, I heard from Jeremy that you’re raising him. alone, is that right?”

Hugo never thought that Jeremy would tell her everything. He replied, “Yes. His mother is gone.”
