C57 Uncle will Protect You!

The next morning, the three of them did not eat breakfast and prepared to ride the cable car to the top of the mountain.

As Asher was carried by Harold, his little hand rubbed his eyelids. "Uncle, what's wrong with your eyes?"

It was not your fault!

Harold patted his little butt and said expressionlessly, "I don't like the water and the earth!"

The man gave off an unpleasant aura. Nina reckoned that this old man was not used to sleeping with others, so he was not able to sleep well.

Therefore, she kindly suggested, "Mr. Douglas, I heard that there is a meditation room in Nanshan Monastery that is specifically for people to rest. When we get to the top, I'll take Asher to walk around first. You can go and rest."

Harold glanced over with a cold gaze. He thought to himself, Wasn't it all because of you? If it wasn't for the fragrance on your body that kept entering his nose, would he not be able to sleep?

The culprit!

Harold snorted coldly and quickened his footsteps, leaving Nina behind.

Nina shrugged and jogged to catch up.

After buying the tickets and boarding the cable car, Asher became extremely excited as the cable car gradually rose. He leaned against the transparent glass and looked outside, continuously exclaiming —

"Mommy, there's a big Buddha statue over there!"

"Wow! There are words written there. Mommy, quickly take a look. What are they written?"

"Mommy …"

Nina held onto the railing tightly and froze there, not daring to move.

Nina didn't have the time to answer Asher's questions.

"Do you have a phobia of heights?" Harold asked as he noticed that her entire body was tense.

Nina secretly sighed. "No... No!"

She waved her hand to ask Asher to sit down and not jump around in the cable car.

Although she knew that the cable car was safe, she was still afraid that the cable would suddenly break.

Her eyelashes fluttered as Harold knew that she was lying. He deliberately stood up and walked to another corner. The cable car suddenly tilted towards that direction.

"Ah!" Nina exclaimed and closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she saw a mischievous smile on his face.

"…"

Damn man, he must have done it on purpose!

Nina glared at him and turned her head to the other side. Her face was a bit paler than before, which showed that she was indeed scared.

Harold smiled and pulled Asher over to sit on his lap. He then whispered into Asher's ear.

Asher suddenly realized what was going on and exclaimed, "Oh!" He then grabbed Nina's hand and said, "Mommy, don't be afraid. I will protect you."

After saying that, he felt that he was wrong and added, "Uncle will also protect you."

He grabbed Harold's big hand and covered the back of Nina's hand. He tilted his head and asked, "Uncle, do you think so?"

Harold said lightly, "Yes!"

His long fingers curled and wrapped the mother and son's hands tightly in his palm.

A warm feeling flowed through his skin and dispersed the panic in his heart.

Nina relaxed and stole a glance at the man beside her. He was wearing a white polo shirt and black pants. His eyebrows were sharp and his eyes were bright. His cold and noble face seemed to have become gentle and affectionate because of the little person in his arms.

He was no longer so...impenetrable.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The sound of his heartbeat echoed in her ears. The man suddenly turned his face and said, "What are you looking at?"

As if he was a child who had been caught stealing, Nina looked down helplessly. "I'm looking at...the scenery. Look outside. The clouds are rolling and the clouds are swaying. The peak of the mountain that was covered by the clouds and mist just now is now completely exposed."

Asher followed the direction that Nina was pointing at and said in puzzlement, "Mommy, there's no peak over there."

Nina was speechless.

Ahhh! Don't interrupt the adults!
