So now Kevin asked her if Gabriel knew Enrico. She really wasn’t sure.
“…”
Kevin was speechless. “In other words, we have no way of knowing if they’ve met.”
“I don’t think so.”
If they had, her phone would have rung by now.
Would Enrico have let her off the hook so quietly?
“So what are you going to do? Do you need me to send someone to pick Gabriel up?” Kevin asked.
Paige stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass and could hear the faint sound of waves outside.
She had wanted to hide the existence of Enrico’s child, but now that the two of them had met, did she still want to keep on lying?
After a long while,
she said, “Let nature take its course.”
Although Gabriel had the genes of the Davis family, it did not mean that he would definitely develop the disease in the future.
Perhaps letting the father and son get to know each other in this way, spending time alone together, will make it easier for Enrico to accept the truth and understand that one should not deprive a child of the right to come into the world for fear of the unknown.
After all, he is their son, and he is so cute.
She has never regretted her decision to give birth to the child alone at the border, and hopes that Enrico can let go of the taboo in his heart.
After hanging up the phone, Paige returned to her desk and looked at the thick pile of documents in front of her with little interest.
There was a decorative object on the desk, and the hammer was swinging back and forth, striking the wood grain on both sides with a sound, one after the other, as if reading the passage of time.
Paige looked down at it.
After an unknown period of time, she let out a long breath and opened the documents in front of her.
Forget it.
The father and son should resolve their own issues, and their fate as father and son was destined by heaven. She should just focus on her work.
Thinking this, Paige began to read the documents.
…
The majestic Lautners family mansion was fronted by a wide highway, and diagonally across the road, a five-star hotel stood in all its glory.
The curtains of the tall building had been drawn from the inside.
The room was dark, and Enrico stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, one hand casually in his trouser pocket, the other holding a coffee cup, his handsome face expressionless as he gazed in the direction of the Lautners family mansion.
The faint moonlight fell on the large floor-to-ceiling windows, faintly illuminating his tall figure. His shirt glowed with a cold, white radiance, as if he were a god.
Enrico glanced at the door of the Lautners’ family home, then turned and set the coffee cup down.
Instant coffee really tastes bad.
Enrico switched on the lights and looked at the room in front of him. It wasn’t the best presidential suite in the hotel, but it was a high-end queen room.
There was nothing he could do about it. If they had stayed in the presidential suite, the money he and the little guy had together would not have been enough for one night.
Fortunately, the room was clean and tidy, and it was the best place to keep an eye on the Lautners.
On the big bed with a white quilt, the little panda was lying on his back, his little hands pawing through his bag, and he sighed helplessly as he took out a significant amount of banknotes.
“Regret it?” Enrico looked at him coolly.
The little guy turned his head to look at him, and with a face full of melancholy, he said, “I’m afraid I can’t afford to support you anymore, you can spend money quite well.”
This is the money he secretly took from Olivia’s New Year’s Eve money. Olivia said that this money could last a long, long time, and could buy a lot of toys and go to many early childhood education classes.
Why is this money going to be gone as soon as he gives it to this person?
“…”
Enrico resisted the urge to throw him out, and just stared at his big sunglasses, “You’re wearing sunglasses in your room?”
The little panda got up from the bed, sat up, and, with a serious expression, adjusted the large sunglasses on his small nose bridge. “I have pink eye, and taking off the sunglasses will infect you.”
“Suit yourself.”
Enrico was too lazy to bother with him, and turned to look across the room at the Lautners family, who were in the midst of a dazzling display of lights.
The Lautners family were indeed like kings at the border, with so many security guards at the door that they could almost form a formation.
Suddenly, there was a “plop” sound in the quiet room.
Clear.
Crisp.
Enrico looked back at the little panda coldly, his gaze falling on his flat stomach.
Seeing this, the little panda immediately lay on his stomach to protect the money, saying in a childish but serious tone, “I’m not hungry, I don’t need to eat, I need to save the money for you to spend.”
That’s all there is.
Once it’s gone, I won’t let you continue to follow me.
“…”
Enrico really didn’t want to take care of his food and drink, but suddenly hearing such a ‘sincere’ sentence, if he didn’t do anything, it seemed that he was really a bit of a beast.
Enrico picked up the landline and asked the receptionist to send dinner over, specifying that it had to be high-end.
Although the little panda couldn’t count, he knew that high-end was bound to be expensive, and his fair face suddenly looked bad.
He’s so good at spending money.
Twenty minutes later, the waiter pushed the dinner trolley and delivered the dinner, “Business double set meal worth 888, thank you.”
The one who opened the door was the little panda.
He reached up to the doorknob with difficulty on tiptoe and opened the door.
Facing the waiter’s bright smile, he screwed up his face, took a bunch of crumpled bills and walked up, reluctantly handing them over.
“What a cute little boy,”
the waiter said, smiling and petting the little guy’s head. He was about to take the appropriate amount of money from him when the little guy let out a loud cry that startled the two people in the room.
Enrico was sitting on a single sofa inside, issuing commands to Jaden on his phone when he suddenly heard this sound. He frowned and looked over, coldly glancing at the waiter, whose smile had frozen. ‘What did you do to him?’
The coldness was overwhelming.
The room was filled with a sense of foreboding.
The waiter had never seen a man with such a strong aura before. He was just sitting there, but it made people feel suffocated.
He could only desperately wave his hands and say in a panic, “No, no! I didn’t do anything.”
He is innocent.
“Oh, oh, it’s not you,” the little panda cried, pointing at Enrico, “He doesn’t have any money on him. This is my last New Year’s Eve money, oh, oh… I’m a little reluctant to part with it…”
Although he was crying, his articulation was very clear, surpassing that of children of his age in general.
“…” Enrico’s eyes sank, and he wanted to throw him out again.
The waiter froze for a moment. This man didn’t seem to be poor either. Could it be that they had encountered a thief?
Thinking about it, the waiter hurriedly reassured the little panda, “Little friend, don’t cry. I’ll report this to the higher-ups right now and see if I can get you a discount.”
The hotel has a very good sense of service. A minute later, the hotel management spoke, understanding the difficult situation of the father and son, and unwilling to take the child’s only New Year’s money and destroy the child’s beautiful heart. The dinner was given to them for free.
“Uncle, thank you, thank you so much, you are so kind, you will be rewarded.”
The little panda choked as he kept thanking the waiter, and bowed reverently. While thanking, he escorted the waiter out the door.
“Bang.”
The door was shut with a handsome white hand.
The little panda turned around, and his choking sound stopped abruptly. He patted his little face and wiped away a small tear.
