the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart-Chapter 917: His Chin Is a Sensitive Spot

By count, this is the first time she kissed him voluntarily. Anything before eighteen doesn’t count, as at that time her kisses were directed at Magnus. The man maintained a calm expression, though his taut body betrayed a hint of daze and ecstasy.

After breaking free from her internal shackles, Delphine stopped suppressing her own nature, her personality seemed to revert to that of her younger self. Before eighteen, she might have been somewhat reserved and introverted, but she was mostly innocent and carefree. Now that their positions had reversed, and with Ignatius Leclair unable to see, his usual imposing aura had significantly diminished, Delphine was so overwhelmed with joy, she ended up giving him a kiss. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Once she came to her senses, the man was already holding her tightly, wanting her to kiss him a second time, which made Delphine blush instantly, faltering, afraid that Ignatius would get stuck in a stubborn mood again, she kissed him on the chin.

The man shuddered and almost pulled her into his arms, wanting to embrace her tightly. Did she not know that his chin was always his sensitive spot?

Ignatius Leclair took a deep breath and let her go, rasping, "I’ll settle this score with you tonight."

Delphine: "..."

For him, there wasn’t really a difference between day and night right now, was there?

Due to their impending return to London, the day was spent in preparation. Most of it was handled by Quentin Liu, while Delphine kept Ignatius Leclair company, chatting with him.

The two spoke more that day than they had in the past year.

The man maintained his usual style, mostly silent, often it would be Delphine asking a question, and him answering, or Delphine talking and him listening.

In the evening, after they had everything packed, it was afternoon back home. As usual, Delphine needed to video call the two kids. Recently, she had been preoccupied with Ignatius Leclair’s situation and would often end the call hastily. This time, she could finally let Nicholas and Benjamin see their daddy.

Nicholas and Benjamin had been feeling down recently. Daddy was traveling, Mommy went to find Daddy, and their great-grandfather was ill, leaving them quite worried.

During the video call with the two little ones, Delphine discovered Benjamin resting his chin on his hand, sighing as he asked, "Mommy, when are you coming home?"

Nicholas was nodding beside him, the young boy said, "Mommy, great-grandfather is sick. Both Benjamin and I miss you."

"Soon, what’s wrong with great-grandfather?" Delphine asked, leaning against the man’s embrace. Ignatius Leclair didn’t want the kids to see him like this, so the camera was kept focused on Delphine’s face.

"Maybe he’s missing Daddy." Benjamin’s voice suddenly grew clear and firm, saying, "That’s it. When Benjamin went over, great-grandfather said, ’Little Benjamin, did your daddy call you?’"

The little girl mimicked the old man’s way of talking, vividly capturing his tone. Delphine wanted to laugh, yet felt a bit heartbroken, she nudged Ignatius Leclair and said, "Then Benjamin, go tell great-grandfather that Daddy is video calling you."

After she spoke, she angled the camera slightly, and the two little ones immediately went "wow," calling out for their daddy and uncle all at once.

Ignatius Leclair was pulled into the video call by surprise, listening to the adorable cheers of the little ones, a faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, and he said in a low voice, "Benjamin and Nicholas, you both are big kids now. Take care of our elder child at home and take good care of great-grandfather. Wait for daddy to come back."

"Alright, Benjamin will take good care of great-grandfather."

"Nicholas will too." Recently, Nicholas learned Benjamin’s favorite phrase, though the young boy spoke slowly, not too softly, looking rather cute with his earnest demeanor.
