Bryan instinctively struggled. “Let me go! I want my Mommy!”
Sophia picked him up. “Well, I’m here, aren’t I? Why do you say that? Now, be a good boy and stop
throwing a tantrum. I’m never going to bring you out to play anymore if you don’t stop throwing a
tantrum this instant.”
“You’re not my Mommy! Mommy, don’t go! I’m here! Save me! Someone’s trying to kidnap me!” cried
Bryan.
Sophia completely lost her patience by then. She could tolerate Benjamin treating her coldly and would
not listen to anything she said, but how dare he say she was trying to kidnap him? She would show him
who’s who! It was just as well that Jeremy was not on scene, so she could teach the spoiled kid a
lesson.

Sophia could only swallow back the angry tirade she was going to unleash on Bryan. She turned back
and said helplessly, “Zachary, I told Benjamin we had to go home now, but he wouldn’t listen to me! I
had no choice but to stop him from running off.”
Bryan was still crying for his mother. However, no one could see his face because he was still wearing
the cartoon mask.
Jeremy frowned. “Stop crying, and come here.”
His voice attracted Bryan’s voice. Liking Jeremy’s voice, he stopped crying, sniffled, and looked over to
him.
What he saw was a man wearing black sunglasses and a black face mask. This made him not want to
go near him.
Thinking the sunglasses and face mask must have frightened him, Jeremy took off both of them.
“Come here, or I’m going to get angry!”
Bryan was instantly stunned. He had never seen such a handsome man before. He thought Jeremy
was 10 times more handsome than the cartoon hero he worshiped!
Bryan walked over to Jeremy as if he was in a trance. “You’re so handsome! Are you a hero too?”
Jeremy frowned. “Is that cartoon hero all you know? Have you forgotten what Daddy told you? Big boys
don’t cry. Understood?”
Jeremy’s tone might be stern, but he picked up Bryan gently and let him sit on his lap.
Bryan stared at Jeremy’s face with awe while imagining him as a secret cartoon superhero. ‘He’s really
so handsome! If only he’s my father.’
As much as Sophia was resentful about the whole thing, she knew she should let it slide since he was

She instinctively looked around to see if there was anybody there when Jeremy took off his sunglasses
and face mask.
“Zachary, I think it’s best if you put your sunglasses and face mask back on. The doctor says you’re
allergic to UV rays, so you’re going to get hives again if you don’t put them back on,” she reminded
him.
“Okay,” said Jeremy monotonously before doing as he was told.
Suddenly, the sound of gasps and awe came from around them.
“Babes! Did you see what the man in the wheelchair looked like? Oh my god, he’s super hot!”
“I did! He must be the most handsome man I’ve ever seen. Though he’s a little too pale for my liking.”
“Maybe he doesn’t come out very often since he’s in a wheelchair, so he doesn’t really get much sun
exposure.”
“What a pity. If only he’s healthy, then he’ll be perfect. I guess life’s fair.”
