"Isabella needs to study," Isaiah said.Kendrick paused, realizing that, as an adult, he should not be fooling around with the kids when they wanted to focus on their studies. As a result, the villa fell into silence.Isaiah was naturally quiet, spending the entire afternoon engrossed in his books. After finishing her homework, Isabella picked up her drawing materials and became equally absorbed in her artwork, shutting out the world around her.This led to one inevitable outcome—Kendrick was bored!So, when he noticed Isabella being overly absorbed in her work, he went to Isaiah. After all, Isaiah was always reading extracurricular books.Kendrick sat beside Isaiah and whispered, "Isaiah, let's have a little chat.""I'm reading," Isaiah replied."You can read your book anytime.""Hmm?" Isaiah was surprised to hear a grown-up saying that."Aren't you curious about the story of how your parents met before they had you?" Kendrick knew exactly how to pique his interest, making
Kendrick was completely baffled at Isaiah's logical thinking, unable to believe he was only four years old! With all these thoughts swirling in his mind, Kendrick suddenly came up with a bold idea. Could this nephew of his be some kind of reborn bigshot?"Can I ask you a question?" Kendrick's curiosity was burning, and the mere possibility of this idea excited him endlessly.Isaiah calmly looked at him, indicating that he could go ahead and ask.Kendrick cleared his throat, his eyes filled with curiosity. "Do you have memories from your past life?"Isaiah was confused. "What did you do in your past life? Which year did you die? Was it in another era or some other planet?" Kendrick asked.Isaiah frowned, utterly baffled. "Are you sure the questions you're asking are normal?""More normal than you," Kendrick blurted out. Honestly, he had not seen such an extraordinary kid in his life. Not even when Cynthia was a child had she been this mature. Isaiah refused to entertain Ke
Kendrick led them to the back row of the pirate ship. Initially, he had thought about renting the whole ride for the two kids, but to his surprise, they preferred playing with others. So, he went along with their choice.The pirate ship swung through the air, and screams filled the air. Amidst all this excitement, Isaiah sat perfectly still, appearing extremely composed. However, if you were to touch him, you would realize that he was stiff as a board, and his composure was merely a facade.After one round, Isabella was excited, exclaiming, "Can we go again?" Kendrick agreed, "Sure." He was about to take the kids on another round when Isaiah calmly stood his ground and declined, "You go ahead. I will stay here."Isabella preferred to be with Isaiah, so she chimed in, "Then I won't go either. Whatever you want to play, we'll play together."Isaiah hesitated. Could he say that he did not want to play anything at all?Kendrick could not quite read Isaiah's composed expression, unsu
Isaiah's excuse after lunch was rather straightforward. He simply declined by stating that the sun was scorching and that he did not want to be exposed to it."The sun is pretty intense today," Kendrick admitted, wiping sweat from his forehead. After all, it was summertime, the hottest time of the year. "How about going to Snow World? It's much cooler there.""Sure!" Isabella, always up for some fun, readily agreed.Isaiah let out a sigh of relief and joined them.The day passed swiftly, and Kendrick and Isabella had a blast.In the morning, Isaiah had endured the ordeal, but the afternoon was rather uneventful for him. For Isaiah, these amusement park activities still could not quite match up to reading a good book.Kendrick would undoubtedly find it strange if he knew about Isaiah's thoughts.On their way home in the late afternoon, Kendrick finally received a message from Cynthia.[Cynthia: Isaiah doesn't really enjoy the amusement park.]Kendrick was puzzled, replying, [Is
"From a market analysis point of view, no girl would like someone who constantly pokes at others' weaknesses like you. Being single suits you just fine." Isaiah was brutally honest. After all, height was one of his most sensitive subjects. Kendrick struggled to find words as Isaiah's blunt remark caught him off guard.He was single by choice, not because no one wanted him!"Believe it or not, if I were to say I wanted to get married, there'd be a line of people down the block waiting to marry me," Kendrick confidently asserted.Despite being over 30 years old, Kendrick was good-looking and in great shape. Moreover, he was the president of the Yates Group. Hence, girls would naturally want to marry him. However, Isaiah retorted mercilessly, "Even if they came, it wouldn't be because they love you, but because of your looks or your family background.""What does a little kid like you know? You're only four years old." Kendrick could not help but marvel at Isaiah's depth of unders
Isaiah could not resist Isabella's cute antics and tried to discuss, "Let's set some ground rules. If we go, we can't disturb him. Even if you want to play with him, it can't be more than ten minutes.""Okay!" Isabella agreed enthusiastically.Isaiah rubbed his temples, somewhat helpless.Kendrick had not visited a set before, but as the president of the Yates Group, it was easy for him to arrange. He gave the set a heads-up and took Isaiah and Isabella there. Moreover, this particular production happened to be funded by the Yates Group.When they arrived on set, Ellora was just taking a break and was surprised to see them.Isabella rushed over quickly and greeted her happily, "Auntie Ellora!""Why are you here?" Ellora was very fond of the twins and smiled as she ruffled their hair.Isabella coquettishly said, "We missed you."She even hugged Ellora.Upon seeing that Kendrick accompanied them, Ellora looked around and asked, "Where's Mommy?""Mommy and Daddy went on a romant
"Mr. Yates! What brings you here?" The assistant director immediately noticed Kendrick and quickly stood up to greet him.Others also turned their heads, clearly surprised. Fortunately, those deeply engrossed in their work continued filming.Kendrick, not wanting to disrupt the shoot, exchanged a few words with the crew and then focused on the young boy who had just finished his scene. His behavior caught the attention of others, and many started speculating whether the boy was related to Kendrick in some way, perhaps a relative or even his child."Cut!" As the director called a halt to filming, the scene ended. When the young boy was safely lowered to the ground and freed from the harness, Isabella charged forward, joining the group of crew members.As soon as the ropes were untied from the boy's body, he began to walk toward the rest area. Isabella approached him with a friendly smile, walking alongside him."Hey, is the zip line fun?" Isabella was naturally friendly, and her
Isabella glanced at the young boy, her voice gentle as she said, "He's not a stranger.""Do you know his name?" Isaiah felt it was time to step in and take charge.Isabella shook her head.Isaiah continued, "Do you know where he lives?"Again, Isabella shook her head. She had only met the young boy for the second time, so how could she possibly know so much about him?"If you don't know anything about him, why would you go to his house?" Isaiah could not understand what was going on in her mind. Isabella pursed her lips, her teary eyes reflecting her unhappiness.Isaiah held her hand and said, "Come on, let's go home.""Isaiah," Isabella whimpered, sounding wronged.Isaiah looked at her with a stern expression. Isabella was somewhat afraid of Isaiah when he pulled a long face. "Although I don't know his name or where he lives, Auntie Ellora has been filming with him for a long time. Since Auntie Ellora knows him, he doesn't count as a stranger," Isabella spoke softly, he
