Chapter 4

"You brat, your mom doesn't even know who's your dad. Stop thinking about your father. It's not too bad now that you’ve got a godmother, right?" She tapped on the little kid's head. 'Am I that disliked?'

"I don't care. Mummy already said that she's going to bring me on a search for my father during this trip!" The little kid was still pouting with his little mouth.

Seeing his expression on his chubby face, Riley could not help but kiss his face. "Well aren’t your facial muscles a bit too bouncy?"

Sebastian turned pale instead. "Mommy, she… she molested me!"

Sharon had brought her son up by herself and seldom got in touch with other people. Hence, Sebastian relied heavily on her and was rather distant from others.

"A kiss and that's considered molesting?" Riley laughed.

Sharon laughed as well before she 'rescued' her son from the arms of her best friend. "He's just afraid of strangers. Things will become better once he becomes closer to you throughout the next few days."

Riley raised her brows. "Alright, I'll give you one day to be close to me!" she said in a domineering tone.

Sebastian snorted and turned around to hug his mother as he put on a proud look.

The two ladies burst into laughter when they saw this.

Riley led the mother and son to their place. It was a small two-bedroom unit. It was usually more spacious with Riley staying on her own.

Nevertheless, it was still not that packed even though the mother and son were there. That was because they were going to stay in another room.

"I purposely bought lots of food when I found out you guys were coming back. Today, I'll prepare a big feast for you two as a treat to guests from far away!" said Riley with a smile after putting down their luggage.

"I'm hungry, mommy," Sebastian said in a somewhat crying tone.

"Alright, sit here and have some fun while I prepare the dishes with your godmother." Sharon had her son sit on the sofa in the hall.

"Go, go." The little kid immediately let out a smile as he kissed her face.

Riley could finally make out that the little brat was a bright one. It was simply as Sharon had said, he would only play with people he was familiar with and would ignore other people. 'Does that mean he's proud and cold?

'It doesn’t look like the kid inherited his personality from Sharon. Could it be that he inherited it from his father, whose identity is unknown?'

Sebastian was playing with blocks in the hall while Sharon and Riley were preparing the dishes in the kitchen.

Riley glanced in the direction of the hall and touched Sharon with her elbow. She whispered, "Your son doesn't resemble you that much. My guess is that he's eighty percent like his father. Judging by his looks, I can say that the kid's father must be a handsome man!"

Upon hearing Riley's comment, Sharon's recalled the icy cold man she had bumped into at the airport.

At this, it made her realize that the man had been born with a prestigious aura. He gave off a cold feeling that made people stay away from him.

"What are you thinking about, Shar?" Riley raised her hand and waved it in front of Sharon.

Sharon snapped out of it, and her eyes began to glitter. "Nothing, what were you saying again?"

"I was saying that your son must resemble his father, and his father must be a handsome man."

"Nonsense, it's obvious that he inherited his looks from me!"

"Don't you wish that his biological father is a handsome man? It would be best if he's a hundred times more handsome than Howard. With that, you’ll no longer be on the losing end."

Riley regretted her words after blurting them out. She spun around and looked at Sharon. Without a doubt, there was a lonely expression on her face.

"What's wrong? Are you still unable to let go of Howard?*

Sharon shook her head. "Nope."

"That's great. He's a scumbag who doesn't appreciate things that are around him!" Riley barked before quickly changing the topic, "Let me tell you a piece of good news. I've helped you submit your resume. Tomorrow, you can go report yourself at your new company."

"That fast?" Sharon was astonished.

"Well, you’re now a famous designer. So, landing a job is easy for you."

The next day, Sharon reported for work to her new company.

Five years ago, she left Northern City for M Country. After giving birth to her son, she went to further her studies in interior design.

Sharon stepped foot into Central Corporation. However, just when she was about to enquire which floor the personnel department was on, she heard a commotion from behind her.

At that moment, all the employees at the entrance were lined up in two rows. Additionally, there was an intense vibe as if they were about to welcome a big shot.

Subsequently, the security guard dressed in a black shirt pushed the glass door opened. Then, a towering man with strong aura entered the scene. His face was carved like a knife with distinct facial features, and he had a majestic aura that made all of the employees beside him feel pressured.

Sharon turned around and saw the man, who was surrounded by tons of people, entering the scene. All of a sudden, she was thunderstruck. 'Why… is it him?'
