Ellinor playfully pinched Marcus’s handsome chin, rubbing it a bit. “You’re so pitiful right now that anyone who sees you might want to tease you until you weep.”
Marcus paused, observing the mischievous glint in the eyes of the innocent-faced Ellinor. “So, you want to take this opportunity to retaliate?”
Ellinor’s eyebrows furrowed, and she released his face from her grip. “You wish! I’m here to see my son!”
Marcus knew she was just joking with him. “He’s in the living room. Sophia's not around, so you can go see him."
Ellinor shrugged. "I knew she'd be out; that's why I came."
Marcus figured as much. This sly girl must have heard Sophia would be out and seized the chance to visit.
"Alright, then go see your kid. I need to practice a bit more; I won't accompany you."
Ellinor glanced at him with disapproval. "You almost fell over just now, and you still want to practice here?"
Marcus replied, "It's the best place for it. Don't worry about me; I'll take care of myself."
Ellinor frowned and huffed, and although she wanted to say more, she held her tongue. She turned and entered his bedroom, then exited through another door to find Adrian.
In the suite's living room, Adrian was joyfully playing with his favorite Mechanical Hero toy.
He definitely loved it here. He felt relaxed and free to play with his toys. At home, although he was happy, his mom would always limit his playtime with his brother. Once the allotted time was up, she would have someone take his toys away.
But here, he didn't have to worry about any of that.
He was immersed in his play when he heard a faint cough behind him.
