Chapter 1025: Chapter 1067: Unexpected

Could it be that he had already figured out Huo Jiantian was pretending to be sick but stood by without saying anything, letting her be toyed with by Huo Jiantian like a clown?

Thinking of this, Ling Yueyue stopped what she was doing and looked towards Huo Junmo!

Seeing Huo Junmo standing calmly nearby, she instantly felt a surge of anger, forgetting to admonish Huo Jiantian and ended up tossing him next to the sofa.

Unexpectedly thrown onto the sofa, in a move that was anything but gentle, Huo Jiantian shrieked in fright. As he rolled off the sofa, he quickly caught hold of the sofa’s backrest, narrowly avoiding a close encounter with the floor.

Ling Yueyue didn’t even look at the almost fallen Huo Jiantian, stood up and angrily asked Huo Junmo, "Did you already figure out he was pretending to be sick?"

Huo Junmo calmly explained, "I just figured it out recently! At first, I was deceived too!"

Ling Yueyue asked, "When did you realize it?"

Huo Junmo answered honestly, "It was when you said to take him to the hospital!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yueyue’s anger surged, "Since you knew, why didn’t you tell me and let me be fooled like an idiot?"

Huo Junmo quickly explained, "I was only suspicious initially, and later confirmed it! I didn’t tell you because I wanted Tiantian to see that you truly care for him and appreciate your goodness! I didn’t mean it in the way you think!"

"I don’t need him to see my goodness; I only need my own conscience to be clear!" Thinking how she had been worrying alone like a fool earlier, Ling Yueyue felt anger redden her eyes!

She was so worried, so nervous earlier! Her heart was all twisted!

The result of her concern and worry was deception!

Earlier, while she was so anxious, Huo Jiantian, the brat, was probably mocking her in his heart!

Thinking of this, Ling Yueyue’s anger just grew stronger!

Seeing Ling Yueyue genuinely angry, Huo Junmo quickly hugged her shoulders and gently soothed, "Don’t be angry, I know you sincerely care for Tiantian! Look at you, with such a stern face, how terrifying, anger makes you age! I promise not to do it again, okay?"

Ling Yueyue gave Huo Junmo a cold look, then turned to Huo Jiantian and loudly questioned, "I’m telling you, why did you pretend to have a stomachache, don’t you know it worries those who care for you?"

Huo Jiantian lowered his head, pouting, and said aggrievedly, "Who told you and dad not to take me out to play! I thought, as long as I had a stomachache and didn’t go to school, you would take me along too!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yueyue couldn’t help but roll her eyes, "You think, after being so sick, I would still go out to play with your dad? Even if you were really sick, we would stay home to take care of you, certainly not go out to play, let alone take a sick you out! I mean, usually so clever, today you’re so foolish to come up with such a harmful plan!"

Huo Jiantian sneaked a glance at her, murmuring in a voice only he could hear, "Even if I can’t go with you, I can stop you from going, can’t I?"

Unfortunately, because it was so quiet, even his small voice was heard by the sharp-eared Ling Yueyue. Hearing him say this, Ling Yueyue’s face turned red with anger, and she directly pushed Huo Junmo, who was hugging her, towards the sofa, "I don’t know what to say! You talk to him yourself!"

Earlier, when Huo Jiantian said his stomach hurt, she really thought of giving up the honeymoon and staying home with Huo Junmo to take care of Huo Jiantian!

She felt nothing was more important than the family around her!

But she didn’t expect Huo Jiantian to be so selfish, pretending to be sick just to join them or stop them from going!

Earlier, her heart almost jumped out in fright!

Of course, knowing he was pretending, she was relieved, but that doesn’t mean she’s not angry!

The feeling of being deceived by relatives and those you care about is definitely unpleasant.

Huo Junmo, pushed forward by Ling Yueyue, sat on the sofa, pulling Huo Jiantian’s hand to have him sit beside him. He didn’t get angry but gently asked, "Tiantian, tell me, why do you always want to go out with us? Don’t you know pretending to be sick is wrong, not what a sensible and obedient child should do?"

"I... I didn’t think much about it, I just simply wanted to go out with you! I hadn’t thought you would be so nervous!" Huo Jiantian answered softly.

Since deciding last night to pretend to be sick to keep them or go out with them, he really hadn’t expected dad and the vicious stepmother to be so nervous! Their worried expressions completely caught him off guard!

He thought it was just simple stomach pain, not a serious illness; they’d let him rest at home quietly!

That dad would worry, he can understand! But the vicious stepmother...

The vicious stepmother actually got so worried her eyes turned red earlier! Honestly, he was quite moved! He really hadn’t expected this outcome!

Huo Junmo patiently said, "You’re our child, of course, we would be nervous! If you were truly having a stomachache, we’d rather the pain be ours! Dad admits that in this competitive society, achieving goals without regard for means is necessary! But what you deceived were your family, those who care most for you; do you think that’s right?"

Huo Jiantian, once again ashamed, lowered his head, "Dad, I know I was wrong, I won’t do it again!"

Huo Junmo nodded satisfied, then continued to ask, "Then tell Dad, why do you always try to find ways to go out with Dad? Even pretending to be sick to stop Dad and Mom from going out?"

"I...! I...!" Huo Jiantian lowered his head, repeatedly saying ’I’ but having no further words!

Seeing Huo Jiantian stammering, Huo Junmo’s expression turned serious, "Tiantian, you used to tell Dad everything! But today you’re hiding something from Dad, not telling Dad, do you know that hurts Dad?"

"Dad...!" Hearing Huo Junmo say this, Huo Jiantian’s eyes reddened and tears poured down.

Huo Junmo pulled him into his embrace and said tenderly, "Tiantian, you should know no matter what happens you are always the one Dad cares most about; Dad has always liked you! Dad is always your strongest support! Whatever you want to say, say it to Dad, Dad won’t blame you! If you don’t tell Dad, that’s when Dad will be hurt!"
