Super Wife’s Three Babies novel Chapter 497

Chapter 497 Nightmare

It was almost dawn when Eugene reached home. He kept thinking about North so he went to Olivia’s house. Going to North’s room to take a peek, he found the little fella sleeping soundly. Initially, Eugene had wanted to sleep in Olivia’s room but he was worried that she would blame him for sleeping on her bed, and then have a row with him. So, he just took a shower and slept on the sofa pitifully.

Suddenly, a very soft whimper reached his ears. Is someone crying? Eugene instantly opened his eyes and sat up on the sofa. He looked around confusedly, only to realize no one was around. Could it be…

His heart skipped a beat and he got up hurriedly, rushing to North’s room. As expected, North was curled up under the blanket and his face was red from him holding his breath. His lips were pressed together tightly and whimpers were coming from his throat.

Eugene was shocked and quickly picked North up before calling his name softly, “North! North—”

However, North couldn’t hear him and his tiny body continued to shiver. Eugene patted North’s cheek as he shouted, “Son, wake up! Daddy’s here. North—”

It was as if North was holding back for a long time and couldn’t take it anymore, so he cried out loudly. Eugene’s heart ached for him. He held North in his hands, coaxing him softly, “Don’t be afraid. Daddy’s here. No one would dare to hurt you ever again!”

North opened his panic-stricken eyes. Looking around, he realized he was at home and in his dad’s arms. He was instantly relieved. With tears in his eyes, he wrapped his tiny arms around Eugene’s neck.

“There, there.” Eugene patted his back lightly. “It’s alright. Did you have a bad dream?”

North didn’t say a word but his arms tightened subconsciously around Eugene’s neck. He buried his head into Eugene’s chest, showing his anxiety. Eugene stroked his back lightly, hoping it would quickly calm him down. “Or were you afraid of sleeping alone?”

“What story?”

“It’s a story of your uncle and I when we were young.”

North mulled it over before giving a nod.

“When your uncle and I were about your age, we were afraid of animals with pointy beaks like chickens, ducks and geese. One day when your grandma was not home, our babysitter Miss West had someone who was sick at her place. To make it easier to take care of us, she took us to her house. Back then, she had a lot of chickens and ducks at home. Knowing that we were afraid of them, she rounded them up. The next day, a goose escaped the fence and it happened to be a species of male geese that tended to poke people with their mouths; it was like it wanted to bully us on purpose. It stretched its neck, quacked loudly and chased us all around.”
