Its okay. I
The child raised his face to meet Victors dark eyes, but the words never came out.
After a moment of silence, Victor averted his gaze and saw that they were alone.
He looked out from the massive glass window and saw a white Light flashing through the night sky. A dull rumble of thunder came from afar. It wasnt too loud, but it was a sign that rain was coming.
Victor blinked, staring at Joeys face again.
Are you afraid of thunder?
What? Afraid of thunder? Before Joey could react, thunder roared and echoes throughout the room. Startled, he jumped out of the chair and threw himself into Victors arms. But the little child ended up hugging Victors legs instead.
Feeling the strength of Joeys embrace, Victors heart skipped a beat.
He looked down and saw Joeys fluffy head. For a moment, he didnt know what to do. The storm raged outside and he felt Joy tremble against him. Victor pursed his Lips and clumsily placed his hand over
Joeys head, patting him gently.
Dont be scared, he said in a stiff voice.
Feeling the warmth on his head, Joeys body stiffened a little. He slowly looked up and found Victor looking at him. The child immediately stepped back, looking embarrassed.
Who says Im scared? I was just a little surprised, thats all!

Im really not afraid of thunder! Joey explained stubbornly. He was more concerned that Victor didnt believe him.
Victor looked at him and Joey returned a determined gaze with his bright eyes.
After staring at the boy for quite a while, Victor suddenly bent down and picked him up.
Alright, youre no sissy. I believe you.
Now, eat.
Joey was speechless as Victor set him down on the chair. His words werent persuasive in the slightest. Joey wanted to say something, but he saw Victor pulling out a chair and sat next to him. He blinked his eyes in confusion.
Victor could feel Joeys eyes on him, but he didnt say anything. He took out his phone and sent Ivan a message. After that, he turned to the young boy.
Ill sit down and rest for a bit. Go ahead and help yourself.
Rest? But he was about to leave just now, Joey thought.
Victor didnt say anything else. He just continued to sift through business documents on his phone. Joey was still dumbfounded, but after a while, he picked up his chopsticks. He saw green onions swimming in his bowl. He never liked them and started taking them out one by one.
