My Powerful CEO Husband

Chapter 428

Ch. 428 / 753 Jan 28, 2026

The little fellow's innocent question caused another wave of bitterness in the river bank.

He picked up the little fellow and stuck his forehead to his little face. "It's quite far! Very far away!"

"Is it even farther than outer space?" Children's thoughts were always whimsical.

"It's more or less the same!"

The river rested on the little fella's cheeks for a bit, and then it placed its little face on its own chest, because that place was already in so much pain that it couldn't bear it anymore.

"But I saw Big Sister in this dark room! Father, what's wrong with Big Sister? Are you going to lock her?"

The little girl insisted on asking.

"Your big sister betrayed her love and her oath..."

Her closed his eyes, suppressing the resentment at the bottom of his heart that he could not let go. He wanted her to betray him at a price.

Not everyone could afford love! Henry was the typical kind of stubborn love.

Perhaps in this life, he could only live in the shadow of being betrayed by a woman! A vicious spirit!

As for what love was and what was an oath, the little girl did not understand.

Perhaps the love and vows that the little guy understood were the same: 'Love is like a person, just like I like Mommy Lita very much!' And the oath may be what I have said, so it must be counted as a word, and can't be shameless!

The little fellow used her thumb to gently wipe away a teardrop falling on her cheek from the river bank.

"Foster father, don't cry anymore. 15th Heart is in pain!"

The little fellow liked the river bank. The river bank had accompanied him for five years, and there was nothing more profound than the companionship.

In particular, Lin was only a five-year-old child!

"Fifteen... You are really the good child of my adoptive father!"

The river Soldiers held the little fellow tightly. They hugged her for a long time and refused to let go for a long time.

When they slept at night.

"Mommy, where's the place below the netherworld?"

The little fellow, who was washed and hugged by her mommy, asked thoughtfully, "Does it mean that he is dead?"

The little fellow's comprehension ability was still very high.

"Lin, why do you suddenly ask this?"

Lita was a little taken aback. She felt that for a child who was only five years old, the word "deserter" was simply too cruel.

"Alas." The little fellow sighed like an adult. "My adoptive father said that the elder sister went to the netherworld! But I clearly saw that the elder sister was locked in the black house!"

After listening to his son Lin words, Lita was even more certain that the 'big sister' was just the wax figure of Alex's mother when she was young. That was why she was wearing her clothes and standing still without saying a word.

"My adoptive father also said that my elder sister made a mistake: she betrayed her love and her oath... It seems that my adoptive father doesn't want to let my elder sister out."

The little girl seemed to be a little sad.

When he saw his mommy draw a large version of Lin, which looked like himself, he was also sad.

Vaguely, he knew that the large-sized adult version of Lin was his real father.

He also knew that in fact, his adoptive father Henry was not his own biological father!

Like his fourth and fifth brothers, he was adopted by his foster father Henry. He was not his own child.

Therefore, the little girl had a good impression of the big sister who looked like him in the dark room.

"And my adoptive father said to the elder sister, "Look at this child. Does he look like you?"

At that time, foster father held him in his arms, and the "child" he was talking about definitely referred to him!

Unfortunately, her big sister had been silent all the time! Maybe she was afraid of the river where her adoptive father lived, so she didn't dare to speak.

Lita also let out a small sigh: Betrayal of love, betrayal of an oath...

As expected, Alex's mother betrayed Henry and got entangled with her husband Samuel. She even gave birth to Alex, her illegitimate son, on Samuel's behalf!

Lita was a little confused: Henry's man could still be considered outstanding, and he even loved Alex's mother so deeply. But why would his mother choose to betray his mother?

What puzzled Lita even more was: "I've already betrayed him, why did I leave behind an unfinished portrait of the river bank for my son to seal?"

In fact, love was something that only the person in question himself was clear about.

F*ck*ng pervert!

Christmas Eve should be a happy, peaceful, and carnival Christmas Eve and reunion night.

But little friend Lin was checking his equipment.

"A sleeping bag, compressed biscuits, a lamp on top of your head, a kettle of water, a cane- like telescope, a strong flashlight... and a map!"

Seeing that his five-year-old son had prepared so much for his mommy's wish to get out of the Castle, Lita's nose ached.

"Mommy, is your windbreaker accurate? When I'm drunk in my adoptive father, we can set off."

To have a five year old child take her away from Castle, Lita's heart was filled with other mixed feelings.

"Nuonuo, since you have such filial piety, it's enough for me! I don't want to go anywhere. I just want to stay in Fort!"

Lita held the little guy tightly in her arms and couldn't help but cry out.

Of course, she would not let her son follow her and take risks all the time.

She only wanted her son to be safe and healthy. As for her freedom, it was no longer important.

"Mommy, you lied to your own son again..."

The secret plan of the mother and son was interrupted by the sound of the door being knocked outside the room. Xavier was here to invite the mother and son to the banquet.

Tonight, all the lanterns, colored banners, and the ultra-large, super-luxurious Christmas trees in the Castle were arranged for the sake of little children Lin.

It was obvious that the river bank doted on the little creature.

"Fifteen, come to my adoptive father."

At the moment when he saw the little fellow, the thick eyebrows of the river bank also rose. It seemed that he was in a good mood. But the little fellow didn't seem to be in a good mood.

He crawled onto the thigh of his adoptive father, sulking.

"What's wrong, fifteen? Are you still unhappy after receiving so many gifts?"

Seeing that the little fellow just kept silent, Henry asked again, "Then fifteen makes a wish! Maybe my adoptive father will agree to you as soon as he is happy!"

The little fellow's clear eyes immediately flashed bright light. "Father, can you keep your words?"

"Of course! My adoptive father's words carry weight!" Heis said with a smile.

The little fellow subconsciously turned to look at his mommy, Lita. Lita, on the other hand, had been shaking her head nervously at the little fellow.

"But I don't want to make a wish now! Let's talk about it at night!"

Her son's words caused Lita's heart to palpitate in fear.

This night, Lita couldn't sleep at ease. She didn't know what kind of wish her son, Lin, who had been taken away by Heave, would make with Heave.

River Soldiers were so insidious and cunning. How could a five-year-old child be a match for him?

Lita wanted to open the door, but she found that the door of her room had been locked from the outside.

The sun finally rose. When Lita heard the door being unlocked, she immediately rushed out of the room to look for her son, Lin.

However, she only saw a person sitting where she had breakfast at the table.

"Mr. Xavier, what about... fifteen? Are you still asleep?" Lita asked in a low voice.

"Fifteen went to Lisbon to find his father!" The river bank went straight to the point.
