Doted On By The Mafia Boss

CHAPTER 39- BEING A MAN OR THE MAN

The two were called down for dinner; during the whole course of dinner Catherine kept on chattering

about her wild fantasies.

'Ryan, does unicorn exists?'

'Ryan, do you think... I am a little mermaid! Did I too lose my memory and came to land?.

'Ryan, do wonderland really exist? Can you take me there?'

The Young Master was extremely patient with the kid, he went on nodding and giving out the reply that

she was looking forward to. If believing that unicorns existed gave her happiness, he may as well start

believing that those mythical one-horned creatures were real. If she thinks that she was the little

mermaid of the ocean, he would start believing that he was the Prince she left the ocean for.

After the two washed their hands Ryan looked at the time and asked, "Why isn't Mr Silva here yet?"

The housekeeper, who was currently cleaning the table, replied, "Something urgent happened in an

International branch, I don't know much about it but Mr Silva said that it was important and thus, he left

early in the morning. He said he won't be back for a week or two."

"A week?" Ryan exclaimed, it was a long period for him to leave his 5-year-old daughter alone at home.

He didn't stay back to ask anything anymore but quietly took the girl upstairs. While taking her to the

room he asked her, "Were you scared last night because your dad left for a week?"

"He left for a week again?" The girl asked surprised. Ryan had no idea if he was supposed to laugh or

cry; this girl wasn't even aware that her only family had left for a business trip not to be returned any

sooner. Her expressions were calm and relaxed, it seemed that Mr Silva was barely a family man or

cared about his daughter.

Ryan breathed out, "Huh, never mind." Post dinner the duo nestled on the bed and watched an

animated movie; Ryan was not too much interested in watching it but it was her who asked him to

accompany her. During the whole movie, the girl had her eye fixated on the screen, laughing and

clapping her hands every now and then. Every time she giggled Ryan's lips used to mysteriously curve

up into a hearty smile.

Ryan had some of his personal pieces of stuff and a set of pyjamas delivered for the night stay. When

the girl rushed off to take a shower Ryan strayed out of the room lest he disturbs her privacy. Walking

around he found a lonely balcony with a decent internet connection. He settled there and as soon as he

got the service several messages popped up, all being from Jack.

Ryan casually opened his chat to kill his time by texting his friend.

"What's up? Having a good time with your lady." Jack teased. Jack seemed to be in a really good mood

as he went all the way teasing but his enthusiasm must have been brutally killed when Ryan replied

with a short 'mmm'.

As expected, Jack's faced skulked; he was long used to the way he spoke. Being a soul who treasured

his words as gold he was a miser when it came to expression but this topic must have interested him

yet he was mum.

Jack typed out, "You gonna sleep in her room tonight?"

"Yep."

Finally something juicy; Jack sent nothing but a smirking emoji. Not understanding what he was

smirking for Ryan graced him with a question mark. Jack replied, "It's your chance!" Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"Chance?"

"You are a ten-year-old already, do I need to explain what I am saying?"

Ryan understood what he was indicating; even though the two boys were not too much into it and have

never seen single pornography but they had little knowledge of where babies came from. Jack, of

course, was not talking about making a baby but his meanings were clear. Ryan replied, "What about

that?"

Jack sipped on his milk and asked, "Are you gonna make a move on her?"

"What for?"

Jack spat the milk in shock, without even wiping his lips he held the phone in two hands before dialling

him. As soon as the phone was answered he yelled, "Bruh, are you crazy?"

Ryan's expression was as collected as always, he asked what it was. Jack replied, "You will be

sleeping with the woman you love, don't you wanna at least kiss her lips?" Kiss her... Lips? Ryan felt

electricity wave down his body when he said it out loud in his heart. That would be a really good

sensation but for some reason, the boy's mood worsened. His tone was cold and dangerous as he

asked, "Do you take me as a pervert?"

"Pervert? Bro, you love her... It is ok for you to kiss her."

"Without her consent?"

"She will slap you if you try to kiss her when she's awake."

"Yes, because it's immoral."

"No, she is not old enough to understand what it means. She will get scared."

Ryan massaged his temples before asking, "What do you want?" "This your chance, buddy. Love her a

bit! Don't you know the 'a man and the man' theory?"

"What nonsense are you spouting now?" Ryan rolled his eyes as he leaned on the fence with his eyes

straying aimlessly.

His friend started, "It's no-nonsense, bud. See... It goes like this. If someone is alone with a woman,

like in your case both alone in a room, 'a' man would make a move on her."

"..." Ryan was rendered wordless after hearing this, he asked, "Who taught you all these?"

"My cousin did." Jack admitted cooly. Ryan nodded his head and said in a low tone, "I knew it must be

someone from your family; only your race is capable of weaving such stupid stuffs."

Jack grew impatient, "That's not the point! And... It's not stupid, I think it's really cool." "Is that so?"

Ryan shoved his hands inside the pocket and asked, "What would 'the' man do?"

"The man? Oh, he would wait till the woman becomes his to make a move." Jack explained; Ryan

grunted meaningfully. "No..." Jack stopped his trail of thoughts immediately, "We are human beings and

we follow the crowd. 'A' man is 'a' man because everyone does that; it's... it's like a code. You gotta be

'a' man and make a progress on her today."
