Bobby received a message from Mr. Q the next day. Through the comparison with the DNA system, Mona’s true identity could be confirmed. Nonetheless, before giving the details of Mona’s biological parents, Mr. Q asked Bobby for a favor. Bobby typed on his keyboard and asked: [What is it?] Q: [Do you remember the question I asked you the last time?] [Uh… Is it the one about whether my mom has someone she likes?] [That’s right.] [But that’s very strange of you, uncle. That concern’s someone’s privacy. Don’t you think it’s kinda disrespectful to my mom?] [Be reasonable. I helped your mom find out information about her biological parents, which is also private. A secret for a secret—it’s an equal trade.] Bobby scratched his head and thought about it. ‘That’s true, but why is Mr. Q always curious about who Mommy likes? Is he Mommy’s friend? Or does he like Mommy’s friend?’ Last night, Bobby checked his dad’s computer and did not find any trace of Mr. Q. ‘Could it be Uncle
Bobby typed: [I went to ask my mom. The person she likes is my daddy. They love each other very much, so don’t have any thoughts about her, ok?] Mr. Q sent over the details of Mona’s biological parents after a while. He went offline without saying anything. Bobby could not think about anything else. He hurriedly clicked on the document and skimmed through the content. “Baxter Ortega and Kendra Sunfield? Are these Mommy’s real parents?” Bobby touched his chin and looked at the home address that was clearly written on the back. It seemed like he needed to go and find out what was going on. He wanted to strike while the iron was hot. If he were to go to the address now, he would be able to come back in time for dinner in the evening. With that, Bobby put the document sent by Mr. Q into his bag. He put on a peaked cap and was ready to leave. “Bobby, where are you going?” Millie heard the movements and ran out from the inner room. Seeing as Bobby was going out, she asked, “Are
Bobby and Millie looked at the man in front of them. He seemed to have visited their house before, so he was probably their dad’s friend. When Bobby heard the security guard address the man as Mr. Ortega, he was moved. He walked to Alex’s side and tugged at the hem of his suit. “Uncle, is your last name Ortega?” Alex curled his lips into a smile. He looked closely at Bobby’s small face, which seemed to be carved out of the same mold from when Thaddeus was a child. He squatted down and pinched Bobby’s little nose. “Where’re your daddy and mommy?” “Bobby and I secretly came here. Don’t tell our daddy and mommy, okay?” Millie walked up to Alex and covered his mouth with her small hand. Alex smiled with his eyes and placed his finger on his mouth. He shushed and assured Millie, “I won’t tell your daddy and mommy, but how did you find your way here?” “Uncle, do you know Baxter Ortega and Kendra Sunfield?” Alex raised his eyebrow and asked Bobby, “Of course, they’re my parent
“Bobby, where did you get this?”“It’s a comparison of my mommy’s DNA and the information in the DNA database. A very powerful man helped me check it out.”Alex was dubious. “A very powerful man? Do you know him?”Bobby shook his head. To be honest, he was also unsure. That was why he thought of coming here to have a look.It was possible that Mr. Q was a liar and had given him a fake report.“It’s not that difficult. I can take this to the police station and ask the police to check it for me, but I’m too young. The officer asked me to call my parents, but I don’t want to tell Mommy and Daddy. If the results are negative, then Mommy will be disappointed...”“Since I know about this now, leave it to me. I’ll verify this matter in a low-profile manner. Your mommy and daddy won’t find out.”Alex attached great importance to this matter. If Mona really was his family, it was a good thing. However, he never knew that his mother had given birth to another younger sister besides his si
Thaddeus looked down at the woman who fell to the ground without any pity on his cold face. He could not care about her since she tried to hurt his children.“Daddy, Daddy...” As soon as Millie saw Thaddeus, she felt that her strongest supporter had come. She let go of Bobby’s hand to run toward Thaddeus.Thaddeus picked Millie up, holding her small body with one arm. He looked down at her dirty little face and wiped the tears in his eyes with his hand.It was like a knight protecting his princess.“Don’t be scared. Daddy is here.”Alex helped his little sister up and was angry at Thaddeus’ indifferent attitude. “Thaddeus, I know that you don’t like her, so don’t appear in our house. My sister’s condition will get worse since you’re here.”“I’m here to pick up the children. Sorry for the bother. We’ll be leaving now.”Alex looked at his sister who burst into tears and felt at a loss. He also felt disappointed.“He already has a family and children. Is a man like that worth cryi
“I was just asking. You don’t have to answer.”Daddy did not love Bobby. That was what Bobby concluded.Thaddeus looked at Bobby with a heavy gaze and said nothing. His expression was so deep and complex that Bobby could not read it.Bobby hung his head and was dejected for a while. When Thaddeus carried him to the car and placed him in the children’s seat, he looked at the majestic figure sitting in the driver’s seat and had an epiphany.“Boys don’t need love. It’s enough if I love Mommy and Millie.”Thaddeus did not turn around. He was silent for a few minutes before starting the car, and simply said, “Good that you know.”Bobby pursed his beautiful lips. Joy ignited in his heart after receiving the man’s affirmation.“Bobby, I want cookies.”Bobby’s thoughts were pulled back by the packet of Koala’s March cookies in front of him. Millie waved the cookies in her hand, her large eyes sparkling as she spoke.Bobby smiled, took the packet, and tore it open for her.“Thank you,
Mona was instantly speechless, but she did not get angry. Jennifer did not like her and was used to blaming her indiscriminately. She did not expect to hear anything nice from Jennifer.“Please come in, Ms. Kimball. Thank you for bringing a gift to my mom.” Mona smiled politely. She would naturally do what the lady in charge of the Fontaine Residence should do.Ginny nodded at Mona and thanked her before pulling Jennifer’s hand. “Auntie, you’ve misunderstood. Mrs. Fontaine wasn’t making things hard for me. She welcomed me at the door and said that I shouldn’t have gone through the trouble of bringing these here. You blamed the wrong person.”Jennifer glanced at Mona disdainfully. “In that case, go in.”Ginny covered her mouth and smiled. “That’s why you shouldn’t be angry with Mrs. Fontaine, or I’ll be uneasy that I made the trip here.”“Of course not. I like you very much and want you to be here. You’re always welcome at the Fontaines’. Don’t just stand outside. Come in with me.”
Thaddeus thought that the woman was jealous. Her indifference was her trying to get his attention by throwing a temper.What a troublesome creature. If she really cared about him, then just say so. Why did she want him to guess her mind? Ugh, women.Just as Thaddeus raised his hand to knock on the door, Jennifer came.“Thaddeus, Ginny is here. Aren’t you going down to see her?”Thaddeus turned around and looked at his mother in exasperation. He knew what she was thinking and already expressed his attitude, but her forcefulness had not changed at all.“I know you don’t want to come down, but you can’t disrespect the Kimballs. After all, Ginny is their little princess. I’m afraid they’ll be unhappy if you don’t see her.”Thaddeus let out a sigh, feeling annoyed.“Enough. I’ll go, okay?” Thaddeus spoke in a sullen voice. He put his hands into his pocket and went downstairs.Ginny was sitting in the living room. When Thaddeus appeared, she stood up and nodded with a smile. “Hello,
