Delete My Love for You novel Chapter 273

Darren’s question slipped out before he could stop himself, and it left little Noah completely at a loss.

At only five, Noah had never even thought about such things.

Darren didn’t press the subject. Instead, he asked gently, “Is there anything you really want? Dad’s been away so long—I owe you.”

Darren fell silent.

Noah knew just how to make things difficult for him. But Darren had precious little time left, and for his son’s sake, he was willing to try anything.

He called Charlotte while she was in her lab, scanning through data.

“Dinner? With the three of us?” she repeated, a hint of disbelief in her voice.

The initial round of trials had to be completed. Only by moving forward could she find the flaws, push that number from fifty to eighty percent and beyond…

Perhaps it was this thought that made her relent. In the end, she agreed.

She answered with a subdued, “Yeah.”

Noah trailed behind, his voice barely more than a whisper, “Hi, Mom…”

Charlotte said nothing.
