Adrian struggled instinctively. "Let me go. I need to find my mom!"
Sophia hoisted the boy up. "Your mom's right here. Where else are you trying to find her? Behave; stop fussing. If you keep this up, Mom won't take you out anymore."
Adrian cried out. "You're not my mom! Mom, don't go. I'm here! Help me; the bad guy is catching me."
Sophia was losing her patience.
Usually, Tristan was cold towards her and disobedient, but that was tolerable.
But today, he called her a bad guy?!
That was outrageous!
Just as she was about to give a piece of her mind to the spoiled kid while the man was away.
"What's wrong?"
The man's deep voice suddenly echoed from behind her.
Sophia had to swallow her scolding and turn to the man helplessly. "Marcus, I asked Tristan to come home, but he insisted on running. I had no choice but to hold him down."
Adrian, held by Sophia, was still crying loudly for his mom to save him. But because he was wearing a Mechanical Hero mask, his face and expressions were hidden.
Upon hearing Sophia's words, the man slightly furrowed his brows. "Stop crying. Come here to your dad."
Adrian found the man's voice pleasant. When he looked over, his crying paused, and he sniffled.
But all he saw was a man in a wheelchair, wearing a black mask and sunglasses. Unable to see the man's face, he dared not approach.
