Adam wouldn’t stop begging until Skylar set aside l
her work and agreed to go out with him.
Only after stepping out did Skylar realize Adam had also invited Victor along.
Victor couldn’t help but playfully pinch Adam’s chubby little cheeks. goodness my nephew takes after our side, not that jerk. Just look how sweet and well–behaved our Adam is,” he cooed.

Adam pouted and pushed Victor’s hand away, complaining, “Uncle, you’re face! Let go now!”
Victor let go of Adam’s face the instant his tiny teeth came at him.
Adam rubbed his face and muttered under his breath, “Mean Uncle.”
Victor scooped Adam up into his arms and grinned, “Just because you’re whispering doesn’t mean I can’t hear you, little guy.”
Victor tickled Adam’s sides playfully. “How dare you call your uncle names, you little rascal? Naughty boys get punished!”
Adam laughed so hard that tears welled up in his eyes as Victor tickled him mèrcilessly. “Uncle, I can’t breathe!” he gasped between giggles, squirming in Victor’s arms. “Stop it, please!”
Though Adam’s condition had improved significantly under Skylar’s care, drastic mood swings still weren’t good for his health.
Skylar grew concerned, especially when she heard Adam gasping for breath. “Victor, stop teasing him,” she said gently.
Victor suddenly remembered Adam’s delicate cond

Adam looked up at him and said brightly, “Once I’m all better, Uncle, we can play as much as we want!”
Though physically frail, Adam maintained a remarkably cheerful disposition.
Victor let out a relieved sigh, worried that his overprotectiveness might make the boy feel constrained.
He asked, “Adam, what made you suddenly think of asking Uncle out to dinner?”
Adam snuggled into Victor’s arms, fidgeting with his little hands. “It’s just… it’s been so long since we had dinner together, Uncle Victor. I really wanted to eat with you,” he said sweetly.

“Alright then,” Victor said while ruffling Adam’s hair.
The car pulled up at their destination, and Adam, clearly familiar with the place, confidently led them inside.
As soon as Victor walked into the private room and saw who was inside, his expression soured. He shot Yosef a glare. “What the hell are you doing here,

Yosef?”
“Uncle Victor, I was the one who invited Dad here,” Adam mumbled, his little head hanging, low as he nervously twisted his shirt. Last time Dadint, because of a misunderstanding… I made him come to apologize.”
Yosef stood up. “I was the one who asked Adam to arrange this meeting. I’d like to formally apologize for what happened that day!
Victor snorted coldly. “What a surprise, the mighty Mr. Campbell actually lowering himself to apologize to a small fry like me.”
Yosef paid no heed to Victor’s snide remarks and said, “Please, everyone, have a seat.”
For Adam’s sake, Skylar didn’t just walk away. After all, it was only one meal, Yosef couldn’t do anything to her over dinner.
Though Victor couldn’t stand the sight of Yosef, he was Adam’s father. For Adam’s sake, Victor grudgingly forced himself to be civil Yosef had already pre–ordered a selection of dishes. Once they were seated, the attentive waiter promptly brought the food to the table.
