Colman's words amused the adults around him. Erica rolled her eyes at her smug son and said, "Since when are you a man? You are just a weaned child. Don't pretend to be mature!"
Holding Colman in her arms, Debbie smiled at Erica as she pointed out, "This little guy resembles you a lot! Now, Adkins, he's most like Matthew, a little Mr. Huo in our family. I think he will be taking over the CEO position in the future."
None of the children agreed with Debbie, but Adkins was the one to first express his opinion. "Grandma, I'm not interested in Dad's company. As a matter of fact, I want to run for public office when I grow up. I'll be the most powerful leader in Y City, and then I'll be able to protect my mom and brothers."
The elders exchanged glances with each other. This little guy didn't seem to be joking. On the contrary, he looked dead serious.
Matthew was sitting quietly aside as he observed the scene. After listening to Adkins' words, he crossed his legs with great interest and looked straight to his son. "Being the most powerful leader in Y City is not a big ideal. How about being the most powerful leader of our H Country?" In his steady voice, Matthew prompted Adkins.
Knowing the characters of both father and son, everyone was shocked by the turn their conversation took. Neither Matthew nor Adkins were playful people. They always meant what they said. Therefore, if Adkins would take his father's words seriously and become the most powerful leader in H Country in the future, that meant he would be... the president of the country?
That was most definitely an ambitious goal.
Carlos suddenly burst into laughter before he added, "From my grandfather to Matthew, we've never had anyone who had run for public office in the past generations. The Huo family has always engaged in business. So, I give all my support to Adkins' dream!"
Sheffield gave Adkins a little pat in the head and said seriously, "Boy, as long as you have a dream in your life, everything is possible! Go for it! Just don't forget to share your glory with your uncle Sheffield here once you become rich and powerful in the future."
Terilynn, on the other hand, had some reservations about the matter. "But politics are also full of intrigues. I can't help being afraid for Adkins..." There were so many people with different and hidden interests in politics that she worried about someone who could set Adkins up at some point in his career.
hem A, B, C, D, and he didn't like it. "Doesn't he have a name?"
Erica responded nonchalantly, "C is easier!"
Matthew was speechless.
With a smile that revealed the two dimples on each side of his cheeks, Colman trotted over and announced, "Mom, I'm here!"
"Tell everyone about your dream. What are you going to do when you grow up?" Erica had heard Colman talking about his dream before, but since the chefs hadn't finished cooking their dinner, they could still carry on with their casual conversation.
"My dream?" Colman's eyes lit up as he thought of his own dream. "I want to buy one hundred sports cars, open a hundred artisanal wineries, and start one hundred modeling agencies..."
Erica asked in confusion, "Why one hundred of each?" 'Besides, didn't he want to join the navy in the past? When did his dream change?' she wondered.
Patting his chest, he voiced out loud his greatest wish, "Because I'll marry one hundred women when I grow up!"
"Puff!" Erica burst into laughter.
The others were at a loss for words, in doubt of whether they should laugh or cry. How could a three-year-old boy say that he wanted to have one hundred wives?
Carlos snorted, "You're impressive, little one. Because your father is already greedy, but you are greedier than him."
Matthew retorted calmly, "What about you, Dad? Isn't he greedier than you too?"
As the more experienced in the room, Carlos was unfazed when he snapped back, "I'm not greedy. I've never cared about any of those things. I'd never even wanted a wife. Only after I met Debbie, I realized how wonderful it is to share a life with a loved one!"
