Chapter 5

When they reached the residence, Jamie just realized how rich the General was. Surprisingly, the layout was similar to that of an ancient east Asian manor where there were a collection of courtyards rather than having one large structure. Moving throughout the house was a thrill and a fright. It was hard to believe that from now on this was where he was going to live. When he saw his own courtyard, he was amazed by the garden outside. Although it was slightly bare from the season, there was still so much potential.

Not even a minute in, Jamie began planning what he wanted to grow and where he wanted to grow it in his mind. His green-thumb was coming out in full bloom. Seeing the contagious enthusiasm radiating off the boy, Randall, who had 'finished' his errands, came up from behind with his own smile stretched on his face. "Do you like it? I know you said that you enjoy gardening, rather than choosing something already landscaped, I made sure to just choose the courtyard with the largest garden."

Affected by his own mood, Jamie ran to the beautiful man and gave him a big hug. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

Being granted such a lovely canvas, the green-thumbed Jamie couldn't contain his excitement. He remembered when he was younger, his grandfather's house was only a small plot of land. The two could only choose a few things to grow every season. After that, Jamie then lived in an even smaller apartment where he was only able to fit a few house plants that did well indoors or on his tiny veranda.

Now that he had so much space, he could raise so many things!

Randall wasn't expecting an even bigger reaction from Jamie. It made the beautiful man feel warm inside and want to do more to make the boy happy. 'Ah... so this is what it feels like to be a parent.'

Patting the figure of the boy who only reached a little above his waist, the beautiful man said, "Then... since you like it so much, call me Uncle from now on."

The General standing on the side saw the seen and let out a rare smile that made his intimidating face three-points more gentle.

Returning to his senses, Jamie let go of Randall and straightened his back. He shouldn't be acting like this. Although he was in the body of a 10-year-old, in reality, he was still a 19-year-old man, ah! 'Dammit, what's wrong with me? Ever since I transmigrated, I've been acting more and more childish. Don't tell me not only my body turned younger, but my mind has regressed also!'

Jamie recollected his cool and let go of him. Taking two steps back, he coughed once before saying, "Yes, Uncle Avery." Still embarrassed, he then turned to his father and gave the man a slight bow, "Father, thank you very much for allowing me to stay here. It's like a dream come true."

The General came forward and lifted hand. Ruffling the boy's silky hair with his calloused palm, he said "No need for thanks. You are my son. Naturally, anything you require will always be given to you."

Jamie's lips pressed together hearing him say that. It was no wonder the scum MC ended up staying evil when he got older, this type of doting father will only grow a spoiled child. 'I can't allow myself to become rotten from father's sweetness. I'll have to make sure to walk a straight and upright path.'
