Chapter 665 - 14.61

"Dad…" 

"Hm?" Clarke turned his head to Hermes, who finally stopped playing with the toy. He stared at Clarke in the eyes and then asked, "If you don't love Mom anymore, just leave… don't hurt Mom…."

"Un! Arte loves Mommy! Mommy cries because of Daddy, please don't hurt Mommy!" Artemis added. 

"Huh?" Clarke was confused with his children. Why would they say that he was hurting Gaius? 

He did everything for Gaius in the first place. The idea of him hurting Gaius was out of his mind!

"Why did you say that? Dad never hurts Mom," Clarke defended himself. 

"… Dad, you yelled at Mom before because I went to your office…." Hermes mentioned his past deed. He remembered that one, and he realized it was his fault, although, in his defense, he was so stressed out that he couldn't think straight. 

"Un! Mommy came to Arte's room. Mommy cries while sleeping…." 

"And then a few weeks later, I can hear your fight with Mom, so I went to Artemis' room to hug her," Hermes reported more of his sins. "Dad, did you know that Mom slept in the living room while crying again?"

"I asked him what happened the next morning, and Mom didn't want to talk about it. He still cooks us for breakfast and then lunch boxes. I know that he woke up at dawn just to take care of us…." Hermes told everything he knew, and his respect for his Father had already diminished to an all-time low. He didn't even think that his Dad deserved his Mom.

"Dad, when I meet someone like Mom in the future, I will never get angry at him. I don't want to be like you…." Hermes stated.

That statement got right through his heart, it suffocated him, and the fact that it came from his own son… was ten times worse. 

Clarke glanced at Artemis, who kept staring at him with woeful eyes. Even a little kid like Artemis judged him.

'Am I… that bad?' Clarke pondered. 

They said that kids are the mirror of their parents. If the parents taught them right, then they'd be great people in the future. But if they didn't…

"Oh no, Daddy will never hurt your Mommy, not anymore," Clarke defended himself again. He picked Artemis from her seat on his lap and patted Artemis' head. 

"Daddy and Mommy had a fight before, but we're okay now," Clarke said. 

"But Mommy is crying… Daddy, Arte is so sad when Mommy is crying… " Artemis' eyes started pooling with tears. She was a sensitive child whose mood could get affected by any change around her.

She leaned on Clarke's chest and said, "Daddy, please don't hurt Mommy. Arte is so scared of Daddy…."

"Dad, maybe Mom got too stressed with you. That's why he fainted and almost lost his life," Hermes said coldly. Compared to Artemis, who was only 3 years old, Hermes was already old enough to understand what was happening.

Based on what he said just now, it seems data Hermes already hated him. 

It wasn't surprising though, Hermes loved his Mom so much. Because he was practically only raised by Gaius. Because Clarke was way too busy to take care of the kid because he was developing his business, and the villains came out at least 4x a week. 

"My son…" Clarke saw the anger in Hermes' eyes, but he couldn't defend himself against his son. Because he was the one at fault here.

He never actually had a time alone with his son. There was no quality time to create a father-son bond between them as well. 

And he had to admit that he liked Artemis more because she was so cute. She was his little Princess. 

But with Hermes, Clarke was too busy that he didn't realize the kid he had forgotten was already 8 years old. 

Yet, Clarke didn't know what to say to ease up the tension. He was always that awkward whenever it came to direct communication. 

So he just ate in silence with the kids and then got up, carrying them back to Gaius because he believed that Gaius was the one who could make everything alright for him.

Only Gaius could give him peace, and he believed that Gaius could also ease up the tension between Clarke and the kids.

Meanwhile, Gaius was resting on the bed after Reed gave him a blowjob. He didn't have any mood to eat anything afterward, and Reed chuckled after seeing Gaius' current condition.

"Why are you so weak, brother-in-law? It's just a little morning blowjob," Reed smirked as he sat at the edge of the bed. 

Gaius glared at him to no avail. To be honest, he didn't think anything could scare Reed at this point. This daredevil dared to give his brother-in-law a blowjob because of a mysterious illness!

"I don't want to talk about that," Gaius shook his head. "But I have a question for you."

"Hm? Sure, just ask."

"About Clarke…" Gaius still remembered that Clarke said someone named 'Gaia' would take care of the company while he was taking care of Gaius, and he never heard of this Gaia person. 

Since Clarke forbade Gaius to work long hours in the office as his secretary and still had to take care of the kids, Clarke would usually report everything, including what was happening inside the office, to ease Gaius' worry.

"Do you know about someone named Gaia? Clarke accidentally mentioned that name when I got sick here, and he said he will tell me later…." 

Reed grinned upon hearing this question. He had predicted this, and he was ready to wreak havoc in this family. 

"What? Big brother hasn't told you about Gaia? But he is the one who requested me to bring her in!"

"Request?!" Gaius' eyes widened as he started getting wild thoughts about this 'Gaia' woman. "W—What do you mean request?"

"Well, it's simple… he said that his office is tedious and tiring because there's no pretty woman in his office. So he asked me to bring in a beautiful woman as his new secretary, and her name is Gaia.""Dad…" 

"Hm?" Clarke turned his head to Hermes, who finally stopped playing with the toy. He stared at Clarke in the eyes and then asked, "If you don't love Mom anymore, just leave… don't hurt Mom…."

"Un! Arte loves Mommy! Mommy cries because of Daddy, please don't hurt Mommy!" Artemis added.
