“You’ve done enough for us, Sean. We owe you too much already. Moreover, Travis and I have been separated for such a long time. I’ve already made up my mind to keep him next to me no matter what it takes.”Christina was very determined. Back then, she had given Sean the custody to look over Travis because she was unable to take care of her son. Things were different now. She finally had a stable job and a pay that could give Travis a good life. She did not have to be separated from her son anymore. “I know that you don’t want to separate from Travis, but you’ve got to think of the big picture. If Michael Larson finds out that Travis is his son, he’ll definitely do whatever it takes to grab him away from you. You can’t win against the Larsons.”“I won’t let him find out about Travis’ background. Everything from Travis’ birthdate to his identity is fake. Even if he does look into it, the only logical explanation he can come up with is that I got pregnant three months after the divorc

Michael’s phone rang in the evening. An unknown number was plastered across the display screen. “Hi, is this President Larson?”“Who’s this?” Michael asked out of curiosity.“I’m Wendy Cohen, Serena Garcia’s friend. Serena has been drinking today and keeps calling out for your name. Can you pick her up?”This somehow took Michael by shock. Serena was a gentle and elegant lady who had always maintained her image. It was rare that she would end up drunk. Michael gave a soft hum as a sign of agreement.On the other hand, Wendy gave an ‘OK’ sign to Serena. Receiving assurance from Michael, she felt relieved as the nervousness slipped away. Sitting on the sofa, Serena started to chug glasses and glasses of alcohol, not stopping for even a second to breathe as she swept the mugs off the table in front of her.“Drink up, Serena! I hope that you get the man tonight.”After she had chugged down a few mugs, Serena could feel the alcohol take its effect as her mind started to spin around he

“Brother, Grandma says that she regrets ignoring your feelings and letting you suffer alone for so many years. It's only because she wants to train you to become our family’s successor. Grandma also says that she won’t care and interfere with your marriage, even if you want to be with Christina.”Sean was stunned because he did not know that his grandma would say something like this. Rachel started tearing on the other end of the call. However, she continued, “Brother, you need to come back quickly. If you drag on… I’m afraid it’d be too late!”“Take care of Grandma first. I’m going to get a plane ticket now!”After she hung up the phone, Rachel made a funny face to Old Madam Young who was sitting on the couch. “Done. He’ll be back by tomorrow morning!”Old Madam Young gave her a thumbs up and praised her. “You sneaky little girl. You’re getting better at acting.”“I can’t compete with you when it comes to acting!” Rachel walked toward the couch and sat down. “Grandma, in case he

Michael lost his mind when he heard Travis called Christina, mom. He subconsciously looked at his assistant, who was sitting beside him, and all he saw was Fred shockingly looking back at him too.Christina’s voice was gentle and full of motherly love. It was the kind of love that came from her heart, and it could not be disguised.Michael looked blankly at Travis as if his heart was filled with all kinds of emotions. ‘Why is he Christina’s son? Did she adopt an orphan?’Travis held his hands up to let Christina clean them when he had finished eating. After that, they both held hands and walked out, but suddenly, a man dashed out from beside.Michael blocked them halfway through and stared at Travis. “Whose son is this?”Christina yelled and walked out the door, “He’s mine!”Michael still stood there and did not move a muscle even after she had gone far away. He clearly saw that the kid’s features were similar to hers. Hence, there was no doubt that Travis was her son!His heart

Christina retorted. “I’m on leave. You have approved it!”“I don’t see any proof! I’m not in a good mood, so get back to work immediately!”“Now?” Christina looked at him strangely and thought. ‘Is he out of his mind again?’“Yes. Right now!” Matthew ordered her. “There’s an entrepreneurs’ dinner party tonight, and I don’t have a partner. You’ll accompany me!”“No! I don’t want to!” She might see Michael there, so she shook her head instantly.“I’ll cut half of your monthly salary if you don’t want to!” Matthew threatened her.“Then, are you going to pay me more if I agree to go?” Christina asked.“Woman, why are you always thinking of money?”“If you want me to go with you, then pay me. I’m your assistant, not your partner!”“You…” Matthew pointed at her for a moment. “Fine, fine. Here’s your money, gold digger! Let’s go!”Christina initially wanted to scare him off, but she never thought that he would readily accept her. Hence, she started to struggle for an excuse. “I don’
