After sending Aiden to the lounge, the security guard zealously went to get snacks for him. However, when he returned to the lounge with a plate of cake and fruit, no one was there!Adie successfully evaded all the cameras with perfection and got to the top floor of Hunt Enterprise. The top floor exclusively belonged to Stefan. It was where the CEO's office was.The floor was so spacious and cold that it was close to empty, save for his secretary and the executives.Because there was no news of Stefan these days, his secretary and the executives were so swamped with handling important business that they rarely went to that floor.Adie soon made his way to the door of the CEO's office. He entered the cracked code and unlocked the door easily."Hah! It's just as Mommy said. The security system of Hunt Enterprise sucks. That wasn't even a challenge!"The little boy shook his head in disappointment. Clenching his teeth, he pushed the door with all his might and strutted in.Stefan's
Aiden put down the envelope and looked at Briar calmly. "Who are you? Why are you here at Stefan's office?"His questions only invoked Briar's guilt."I…"Now, she was almost sure that this boy was Stefans's son. Not only did he look exactly like the childhood Stefan, but he carried the same strong and confident aura his father had! "Adie, I am your Mommy's good friend. You can call me Aunt Briar."Briar was all smiles as she approached Aiden gradually.She could only be sure that this kid was Stefan's. As for his mother, she was still unsure if it was Renee.Stefan was so outstanding. There were countless women who wished to bear his children. It might not be Renee, after all."You are Mommy's good friend?"Aiden's chubby but handsome face showed a confused expression.His mother had only talked about one best friend, Leia Osborne, his Aunt Lei. He had never heard of her having any friends named Briar.However, he heard that Aunt Lei often cursed a woman called Briar, sayi
"Aunt Briar, don't you like me?"Aiden blinked his eyes like how his sister, Abigail, always did. He tried hard to act cute with the same intention as Briar, to gain her trust, as he knew that it was her who worked with Bad Daddy to bully Mommy. Therefore, he needed to find a way to teach this woman a lesson!"I…"Briar couldn't bring herself to even say that she hated this little kid the moment she looked at his adorable face."Aunt Briar, can you pat and hug me? You are just like my Mommy. I like you very much!"Aiden beamed and held Briar's hand.Briar was instantly defeated. She failed to restrain herself and cupped Aiden's fair and soft cheeks and said, "How can I not like you? You’re so cute! Don't worry. I will take good care of you. Why don't I take you somewhere to play later?""Sure. You’re the best!"Aiden continued to hug Briar tightly while plotting a small plan in his mind.She indulged in the feel of Aiden's soft cotton-ball-like cheek, unwilling to let go.She
A week later, Renee recovered well from her leg injury. She was now able to get her cast removed and was discharged from the hospital.Liam, Leia, and William came to pick her up."Today is such a good day. Our Boss can finally remove her cast and come back to life with full blood in her veins. We must celebrate this!"Liam was apparently excited and even thoughtfully prepared a wheelchair for Renee."Of course! I have booked a restaurant and prepared a surprise for Ren. I think that she will like it!" Leia said in suspense, smiling like a flower in full bloom.They drove to the restaurant Leia had booked in advance.The feast on the table made Renee drool. She couldn't wait to dig in."Take your time, Boss. Don't choke yourself."Liam patiently cut the steak for Renee and put them onto her plate quietly as if he was taking care of a child. He did everything so meticulously.He could not help it, as he cared too much for her. He would not allow her to be hurt even a bit, so he
Leia tried her best to play matchmaker. William also strongly agreed. "Ms. Everheart, just act spoiled with Mr. Osborne," he encouraged. "I'm sure no man can resist it when you do that." "Yes, just do it!" Leia clapped and encouraged Renee. However, Renee appeared to be in a dilemma as she stood there awkwardly. She did not make a move after a long time. It was not difficult for her to act spoiled, and she had experience with it. However, she couldn’t force herself to do it when the other party was Liam… Liam saw through her dilemma, and his handsome face showed a tinge of sadness, but he hid it just as quickly as it appeared. "That's enough. Where did you get the guts to pick on your elders? Do you still want to hold your wedding at the end of the month?" Liam scolded the two sternly. With that, William and Leia reluctantly dropped the topic. Liam asked Leia, "Didn't you tell me you prepared a surprise for Boss? Why haven't you brought it out?" "Be patient. Just wait
Renee's heart skipped a beat. "Margaret, what happened?" she asked gravely. "Calm down and tell me slowly." "I felt that something was wrong just now, so I forced my way into Adie's laboratory, but I… I found that he wasn't there. I looked around the island, but I still couldn't see him. He's so young. Could some bad guy have taken him? Ms. Ren, what should we do?" Margaret cried profusely and described the incident with a shaky voice. Renee had left the two children in her care, but a second of carelessness caused her to fail to realize that the child had gone missing. She wished so much that she could just kill herself now as an apology, not to mention Renee blaming her. "What did you say?" After Renee heard Margaret's words, her heart twisted painfully. Her mind then went completely blank. Both Aiden and Abigail were of the greatest significance to her, her sole motivation to strive hard and live on. However, Aiden disappeared just like that, and it was hard to tell w
Margaret walked into Abigail's small bedroom and called the little girl, who was still lying in her tiny pink bed. "Hmm… I'll talk to her another day. I want to sleep." Abigail curled up and retreated into her blanket. She knew that Renee would interrogate her sternly, but she promised Aiden that she would never expose his whereabouts. She could offend neither, so… she chose to hide. "Abby, be good. Your mommy has to ask you something very important. Come out now!" Margaret tried to persuade the small bundle that was balled up under the sheets. "No, I'm sleepy, and I want to sleep! Tell Mommy to call later!" After that, Abigail made snoring noises and softly said, "I'm sleeping, so I can't hear you guys." Margaret appeared slightly awkward. She tried her best to pull aside the blanket that Abigail was under, but the little girl had wrapped herself as tightly as a burrito. Consequently, Margaret failed to pull it aside. After a few failed attempts, she was so exhausted
Those two troublemakers were so bold! "Abigail Everheart, just you... wait and see. I'll get your brother back now. I think it's been too long since I taught you guys a hard lesson. You’ve become so bold and fearless!" Renee was so angry that she lost her rationality. She then clenched her fists in front of the phone and cracked her knuckles. Abigail blinked her large, round eyes. She looked naive and innocent. "Mommy, didn't you promise you wouldn't get mad? Your nose will grow longer if you lie, and you'll age faster too. If you want to teach us a lesson, you'd better hit Adie. I'll lend you a ruler." "You didn't tell me what you know, and you tried to hide it from me. Of course, you guys deserve a beating!" Renee wished she could jump into the screen and give Abigail a proper beating for treating Renee like a fool all this time! Alas! Her son and daughter were extremely witty. They were a handful. Aiden had an extremely high IQ, while Abigail had an extremely high EQ.
