Chapter 54: Romance Novels

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After taking a shower, Winnie came out in a pure white nightgown. Alpha was not surprised at all.

Winnie had originally planned to find an opportunity to swap with Noelle, but she was helpless since Alpha had been staying at home with her, making it impossible for her to find any time to leave the house. She had no choice but to temporarily assume Noelle’s identity.

But to Winnie’s delight, there were many books in Noelle’s room that she hadn’t read before. And here, without Nicole who came to her from time to time to play with her, she could enjoy herself quietly.

Alpha, on the other hand, was prepared to tell his son a bedtime story before he went to bed, as was his habit the past few days.

‘When he pushed the door open, Winnie was sitting up in bed, reading a book with a serious expression. When he came in, Winnie was the first to ask with a frown, “What are you doing here, Daddy?”

Surprised by Winnie’s question, Alpha was at a loss for words as he explained, “Daddy’s here to tell you the story of the Little Bear and Little Rabbit?”

That was the story Nicole liked to hear, not the one she liked!

Winnie shook her head and refused. “I don’t want to hear it. Thank you, Dad.”

“Oh,” Alpha replied and went back out.

After closing the door to Noelle’s room, Alpha thought the more strange it was.

According to his past experiences, shouldn’t his son give him a warm hug and listen to him happily?

At the very least, she would have told him helplessly, “Daddy, I’m not a child anymore.”

However, such a cold and heartless situation had never happened before.

The more he thought about it, the more flustered he became. Alpha thought maybe he’d done something wrong to upset his son.

After pacing the living room a few times, Alpha finally thought of a possible answer. He hadn’t played games with Noelle today.

Hence, Alpha entered Noelle’s room again with a Barbie doll in a pink dress. “Noelle, let’s play a house game?”

Winnie looked up, closed the page, and shook her head. “Have fun by yourself, Daddy.”

Let him play with the Barbie doll himself? Alpha’s breath caught in his throat. He doesn’t know whether to walk away with the Barbie doll or to stay.

After an awkward moment, Alpha put down the Barbie doll and walked to the bed. He asked gently, “Noelle, what book are you reading? Tell me more about it?”

His son had always been interested in books on finance and economics, and the father and son had a lot to talk about.

But Winnie didn’t look up from her book. “I’m reading Pride and Prejudice.”

“What?” Alpha doubted his ears for a moment.

“Oh Pride and Prejudice. Jane Austen wrote it, it is one of the greatest romance novels. Don’t you know that, Daddy?” Winnie turned to Alpha with a look of distaste.

Why would a little boy suddenly start reading a romance novel?

Alpha couldn’t believe it, so he asked, “Dad knows this, but why are you reading this book?”

“Because the plot is very exciting. I think Daddy should read this book, it is about love.”

After thinking about it for a while, Winnie began seriously telling Alpha about the plot in the book. “In the early nineteenth century, there was a rich kid named Darcy who fell in love with a country girl named Elizabeth…”

Under Winnie’s detailed and vivid narration, Alpha listened attentively and actually forgot what he was here for.

“Alright, this is all I’ve read so far. I haven’t read the rest yet.” Winnie opened the book again and said happily.

She was very satisfied that her father was willing to listen to her story!
