In the L’Empire group, Nicholas had just signed a document and was managing the remaining contracts in his hands when Luna walked in from outside with an invitation in her hands."President, this is the invitation the mayor sent, the mayor's son's wedding is the day after tomorrow.""I see, ask Secretary Jorge to prepare a wedding gift for me." Nicholas instructed without lifting his head."Yes, I will do that!" Luna nodded and prepared to leave."Wait..." Nicholas raised his head and called out to her."President, do you have any other instructions?" Luna stopped and turned to face Nicholas when he asked."Did the private detective find anything?" Nicholas paused for a moment and asked, and Luna knew he wanted to ask about Clarice's situation, so she replied."Not at the moment, but as soon as there's any news, they'll contact me immediately.""Alright, thank you!" Upon hearing this, Nicholas dismissed her.As soon as Luna left the office and closed the door, she saw Secretary Jorge
Inside the massive building of L'empire, more specifically within the presidential office, two individuals, one tall and the other small, sat facing each other, staring intently. On the other hand, Luna stood upright, her gaze fixed on the small child in front of her, as if the child reminded her of someone familiar. His large, innocent black eyes seemed reminiscent of Clarice's, but from another angle, his eyebrows, chin, and proud nose were replicas of Nicholas'.But, in the end, isn't this boy Edward's son? Why does he resemble Nicholas so much? Did Clarice lie to everyone for the past four years? It was impossible for Nicholas not to ponder over all of this. The two locked eyes. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the boy sigh lightly, and Nicholas couldn't figure out why he sighed, but his eyebrows furrowed slightly, a question mark hanging over his face."Sir, you're not my father, are you?" He lifted his head and looked at Nicholas, who then turned to glance at Luna
"Nicholas..." Clarice opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.She began to regret not practicing her opening words after seeing him, and now that he only looked at her without speaking, she was so nervous she didn't know what to say.Nicholas glanced at her nervous and restless appearance, hoping she would speak.When Clarice saw that Nicholas didn't say anything, just looked at her as if expecting to see a joke, she bit her lips, hardened her heart, and got straight to the point."Where did you put my son?""My son?" Nicholas imagined her appearance in front of him many times in his mind, and he thought she should at least ask how he was doing over these years. But no, she didn't say anything, and the first thing she said was to ask him where the child had gone, as if there was nothing else to say between them.The corner of his mouth curved into a scornful smile. The fingers of his left hand tapped lightly on his right arm, as if watching a great joke."Yes, my son, I kno
"What happened? What? ... Call an ambulance immediately..." At that moment, Luna's phone suddenly rang; she immediately picked it up and looked at it, then walked aside to answer the call.After hanging up the phone, she looked at Nicholas in panic.When Clarice heard the three words "call an ambulance," the alarm in her head immediately rang; she stood up and turned to look at Luna."Did something happen to Bryan? Where is he now? Tell me, I'm begging you.""That..." Luna was worried and had no choice but to ask for instructions from Nicholas."I should be the clearest about Bryan's condition; I should accompany him to the hospital so that I can save the doctor's treatment." Clarice was afraid that Nicholas would reject her again, so she quickly spoke.Nicholas also regained his senses; Clarice always emphasized the effects of the illness, thinking they had found him in the children's hospital, so he considered the child's condition wasn't good."Let's go to the hospital." He didn't
"‘Do you think he really loves me?’ Clarice was incredulous; after all, Nicholas had never said there was love between them. In the past, he had only mentioned liking her, and initially, she was sure of that, but did love truly exist?‘Clarice, I know I don’t have the right to meddle in your affairs, but shouldn’t you be thinking about how to mend your relationship with the president and give your two children a healthy family? Do you want your child to be born without a father, like Bryan?’ Luna asked, as if it were a very practical matter.Her words were like an alarm bell, allowing the lost Clarice to find her target! Yes, how could she forget that she had originally taken the wrong first step to have a healthy family? However, was there still time to correct it? Would Nicholas give her the chance to do so? Clarice was left pondering this.HapVida Hospital, pediatric ward…After being tended to by the doctors, Bryan was no longer in danger. After sleeping for a while, he woke up an
"What's wrong? What do you need the most?" Nicholas looked at him, concerned."Daddy, the toilet is too high, so I can't pee by myself!" Bryan was so anxious and nervous that he was about to cry, and upon hearing that, Nicholas had no choice but to pick him up and help him pee.After finishing, Bryan looked at Nicholas curiously."Are you really my father? Why has my mother never mentioned you?" Returning to his room, he paced around the sofa, looked Nicholas up and down, then stood in front of him and asked with unmatched seriousness."Yes," Nicholas replied solemnly.This was the first time he had established a father-son relationship with him, and he hoped to be recognized as such. Upon hearing this, Bryan's large eyes blinked a few times, he reached out, and threw himself into Nicholas's arms."Daddy! Daddy! I finally found my daddy!"Nicholas hadn't expected such a big reaction from him, but seeing him acknowledge him as his father, his heart was still very content. After crying
"Why can't I come in? I was here yesterday, remember? It was you who let me in!""I haven't forgotten, ma'am, but you can't come in. An order has been placed!""I need to see Nicholas. So, was it him who gave this order? To prohibit me from coming here?"Clarice couldn't believe that Nicholas would be so ruthless as to prohibit her from coming to the company, let alone not wanting to see her."You cannot see President Murray, and secondly, he did not come to the company today, and even if he had, you still could not see him." The guard stopped her, staring at her seriously.Clarice knew that if it was indeed an order from Nicholas, then she wouldn't be able to enter through this door today, no matter what. However, the guard had just said that Nicholas hadn't come to the company. Was it because he was with Bryan at the hospital?Thinking about it, Clarice immediately took out her phone and called Luna."Luna, are you at the company by any chance?" She asked as soon as the call connect
"Why can't I come in? I was here yesterday, remember? It was you who let me in!""I haven't forgotten, ma'am, but you can't come in. There's been an order!""I need to see Nicholas, then. Was it him who gave this order to prohibit me from coming here?"Clarice couldn't believe that Nicholas would be so ruthless as to prohibit her from coming to the company, and not even want to see her."You can't see President Murray, and secondly, he didn't come to the company today, and even if he had, you still wouldn't be able to see him." The guard stopped her, staring at her seriously.Clarice knew that if it was really an order from Nicholas, then she wouldn't be able to enter through this door today, no matter what. However, the security guard had just said that Nicholas hadn't come to the company, was it because he was with Bryan at the hospital?Thinking about this, Clarice immediately took out her phone and called Luna."Luna, are you at the company by any chance?"
