Imperfect Desires - Chapter 953

“Yay! We’re going sightseeing! I love it!” Ava was jumping up and down in excitement as she followed Xiu towards their usual destination for ‘sightseeing.’

“Tone it down a little,” warned Asteria in a serious tone but the glint in her eyes gave away her own excitement.  ​​

Xiu was carrying her son with the baby carrier which made Rowan press against her ċhėst. As she held the hands of the two girls following her, she asked, “Did you tell your mom where you’re going?”

Ava pushed her tongue and giggled, “No. Mom doesn’t ask me anything if I tell her I’m going to see Xiu.” And then she looked up at Xiu with admiration in her eyes. Usually, Nora would ask her about everything but as long as she said Xiu’s name, everything in the world was possible. How could she not admire this aunt of hers?

Her aunt ruled the world!

Xiu felt a little shy being under this hot and admiring gaze. Also felt a little guilty. She didn’t think she was that awesome. Okay, she usually did say she was awesome but let’s be real for a minute! She didn’t think there was anything awesome in her that was worthy of this admiration from these pure and innocent kids.

But she couldn’t deny, she loved this feeling as well.

Since the time Rowan was born, these two girls had become inseparable from Xiu. They followed her like a shadow. On usual weekdays they might not find the time to come and find her but on weekends, they had to spend time with her. Xiu actually didn’t mind their presence and quite enjoyed herself.

“Momma!” Rowan called out and Xiu looked down at him. The little three years old was staring at her intently and instantly gave her a smile with his tiny teeth. How cute! Little Rowan held his mother’s hair and continued to play as he giggled.

“Yes, your highness! Do you need something?” asked Xiu.

Little Rowan nodded his head and said, “Kitty!” He pointed happily at the quite a fluffy cat with pure white fur that made her look majestic and quite conceited. Her tail was lazily swaying around as she laid on the ŀȧp of her owner and didn’t even bother to open her eyes to see the world. As if the people around her were not even worthy of her gaze.

“You have quite a taste, son!” said Xiu. “But you can’t have a kitty. Have you looked at it? She might be heavier than you are. You’ll get buried under her weight.”

Both Asteria and Ava laughed out at Xiu. They always ended up laughing because of Xiu. After all, this aunt of theirs always said things randomly and totally out of expectations! She had a unique talent.

Little Rowan pouted at his mother, “Momma!”

“Don’t play cute with me,” said Xiu sternly. “I’m still not falling for it.”

Obviously, her son was as stubborn as her. He didn’t get discouraged at all. Instead, he rubbed her face against her ċhėst cutely and continued to say, “Momma is the best. Momma loves baby the best. Momma can’t do this to baby!”

Xiu felt tickly and ended up chuckling at his antics. “Who did you learn it from?”

Xiu “hehe’ed” in her heart before shaking her helplessly at her son.

Walking over to where the cat owner was sitting, she called, “Excuse me. It seems my son likes your cat. If you don’t mind, can you let him pet her for a minute?”

The cat owner was a young girl who had covered her face with her hat as she was dozing off in this park. She pulled down her hat and yawned so unladylike before turning her gaze to Xiu and then she was stunned!

“My Almighty Boss!” called out Bo Jiu. “What are you being so polite for? My cat is your cat.”

“I don’t fall for that concept anymore,” said Xiu after she got over her initial shock. She didn’t expect to run into Bo Jiu here of all places. But it was better this way. At least, now her son could easily play with the cat he liked.

“Cato!” Rowan called out as he giggled.

“Son, you’re ruining my almighty image here,” said Xiu making Bo Jiu press her lips to hide her laughter.

As always, her Xiu boss was definitely unique! No one can ever match this aura! I repeat! NO ONE!

“Yes, no one can!” Both Asteria and Ava echoed her words with enthusiasm and only then Bo Jiu realized that she actually said that out loud. Oopsie!

Bo Jiu stood up while hugging her plump and heavy cat. She extended a bit towards Rowan so that his hand could reach the cat to pet as she told him, “Little Boss, her name is Sweet Pea. And Sweet Pea, that’s our Little Boss. Say hi to him.” She even held up the cat paw to wave at Rowan who laughed happily and waved back.

“Hi, Sweet Pea! You’re so cute!” said Rowan in his baby voice that could melt anyone’s heart.

Bo Jiu felt like she received a cuteness attack. It was fatal! Her HP was lowering at an astonishing rate! “Xiu boss, are you sure he is your son? How can he be so cute?”

“What’s wrong with that?” retorted Xiu unhappily.
