Doted On By The Mafia Boss

CHAPTER 37- HUBBY

"I missed you too, Cathie!" Ryan caressed the girl before receiving the basket that Jack had in his

hands. Giving it to her he said, "This is for you, baby girl. It has got cookies, cupcakes, and candies."

Catherine took the basket and smiled, "Thank you, Big Brother." Ryan's eyes picked on the specks of

dirt that were on her elbow, he carefully dusted them off asking, "Did you fall again?"

Catherine poked out her tongue, "Floor likes Catherine..." Ryan ruffled her hair spolingly and looked up

at the housekeeper; his tone, which was warm as the summer breeze just now, turned cold like that of

glaciers all of a sudden, "You are supposed to be watching on her; why is she hurt?"

The housekeeper knew that the Young Master of the Nguyen clan was someone she couldn't afford to

offend. "Mr. Nguyen... I... I...." She tried to reason herself but the boy's gaze and presence were so

overbearing that she couldn't even spill a sane word.

Ryan signaled her to stop, "We are not interested in paying people for free; if you are given a job try to

do it properly or find your way out of the mansion. Many can fill your place, respect the opportunity

given to you. Believe me, it won't take me a minute to fire your face out of the household."

His words, glazed with a layer of frost, were too hurtful and straightforward to the woman. Maybe he

was just a 10 year old but Miss Jude knew that none of his words was a bluff, rather he was capable of

doing worse than just firing her.

"I... I am sorry, Young Master Ryan. This won't happen again." She sincerely apologized; Ryan grunted

before turning his head at the girl. She was cracking the cookies into bits and throwing them at the

ducks, possibly trying to feed them, "Come here little duckies. Eat the cookies..." The boy smiled before

grabbing her hands and bringing her in. The housekeeper led the three to her bedroom and went down

to bring them some snacks.

Catherine brought a bag full of building blocks and poured them on the mat; passing a block to Ryan

she said, "Big brother, play with me."

Jack threw a mocking gaze at Ryan, even though the boy understood what he was implying at he still

rebutted, "What?"

The boy playful shrugged before turning at Catherine, "You shouldn't call him big brother!"

Catherine was stunned, "Is that so... But... Why? He is big... So I should call him big brother, right!" She Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

explained but Jack nodded in refusal, "He is not your big brother!"

Ryan threw him a dreadful glance warning him to be silent but Jack chose to ignore it as he was

enjoying being cheeky. The girl was amused; since she was a child her father taught her to be

respectful to everyone and address everyone as an elder brother or sister. What Jack was telling and

teaching her was completely new to the little girl.

"W... What should I call him then?" The girl asked in a serious tone; she couldn't wait to crack this new

mystery put forward to her. Else than Dad, mom, uncle, aunty, elder brother, and sister... There was

another way of address too?

"Call him Hubby... Mhmmm mm....m..." Jack started but Ryan hurriedly covered his mouth and hushed

him down. He grabbed his neck threateningly before whispering in his ears, "One word and you are

dead..."

"Cool down... I am sure she did not hear it!" Jack pulled himself away from his arms when the girl

chimed sweetly, "Hubby..."

The boys were stunned as they looked at the girl; While Jack started to hear final prayers ringing in his

ears the other had no idea how to react. The two started at her smiling face, the girl pointed at Ryan

and said, "He is my hubby... Hihi!"

"I... I..." Ryan's brain blanked out listening to her addressing him as her husband. The sea of his heart

was waving alarmingly with unexplainable sensations and emotions. Seeing that the boys were mum

she cocked an eyebrow and asked, "What does hubby mean, hubby!"

It was his first time in love and he admired this girl a lot; hearing her calling him Hubby, even though

without knowing, he got his heartthrob. His heart was racing and beating so fast that he was afraid it

may leap out of his chest any second. Gosh... How beautiful she sounded while calling him hubby; he

felt butterflies flutter crazily down his stomach.

His face flushed red and he felt his ears and neck burn and tickle. Her staring at him made him so shy

that the usually fearless boy sprang up and ran into the bathroom to hide. Jack nodded helplessly,

"This lovesick, got nervous over a simple address."

The girl turned at Jack and asked the same question, "What is hubby, brother Jack?"

Jack let out an awkward laugh, "It's... It's nothing, little one. Call him by his name... Haha! It will be

fine."

Inside the bathroom, Ryan grabbed his chest to calm himself down. He splashed his own face

numerous times but the flush refused to subside. Her calling him hubby rang in his ears; he had a spin

of feelings welling up in his heart right now.

Would everyone feel the same hearing their crush calling them that or was it just him? Nevertheless, he

had to admit that he really loved it when he called her. Even though she just called him that mindlessly

Ryan couldn't help but think about what he was gonna do once he grows up; he will marry her for real

in her known attention and consciousness, then she will be rightfully calling him her husband.

Ryan stayed hidden in the bathroom for some more time before finally taking control over his racing

heart. "Ryan..." The girl called out; the boy grunted before going back to his seat. Jack didn't waste

time before he slowly explained, "She is well behaved; I told her only once and she listened to me.

The boy nodded but didn't reply... The time slipped by and the boys were called down by the chauffeur

to head back home.
