Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 754:

Stunned by the kids’ boldness in asking for gifts, Marissa barely managed to keep her jaw from dropping. Meanwhile, ever the charmer, Kevin smiled warmly and patiently asked Lawrence, “Which mansion would you like?”

Lawrence blinked thoughtfully. “I’ve researched a lot but haven’t decided yet. I’m not in a hurry. Uncle Kevin, you can buy it for me before I turn eighteen.”

“Alright, take your time. I can buy it for you anytime,” Kevin said kindly, trying to suppress a chuckle. “But I’m curious, why do you want a mansion?”

“If I don’t have a house, no girl will want to marry me,” Lawrence said as he shyly lowered his gaze.

Kevin was instantly amused, letting out a hearty laugh. On the other hand, Marissa rolled her eyes. Lindsay wanted a car worth 120 million dollars, and now Lawrence wanted a mansion. In Blebert, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, mansions cost hundreds of millions. It was their first meeting with Kevin, and these kids were already making extravagant demands. Marissa couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. She mentally criticized the man who fathered these children. Did he know how peculiar his offspring were at such a young age?

In the meantime, Connor’s jealousy simmered. He thought these kids were ungrateful. He’d been their father for a few days and treated them well. How could they ask for such lavish things from an uncle they had just met and not from him? Did they think more highly of this uncle than their dad? Was he that terrible a father?

Despite his jealousy, Connor’s curiosity about Kevin deepened. Only someone extraordinary could casually promise such expensive gifts. Ordinary folks couldn’t afford them. The more he observed, the more convinced he became that Kevin was no ordinary person.

“Any other requests?” Kevin asked, raising an eyebrow at the two kids.noveldrama

In perfect unison, they shook their heads and replied, “Not for now.”

Marissa’s lips twitched. “Not for now” was like an ominous cliffhanger. They might not have any more demands for ten years, or they might wake up tomorrow with a mile-long bucket list. As she observed these two, her curiosity about their father skyrocketed. If she ever found out who he was, she’d definitely study him thoroughly. What kind of eccentric man could father such peculiar offspring?

Connor, amused, touched his nose. He shared Marissa’s curiosity. Who was this mysterious dad who could father such intelligent and ambitious kids? Oblivious to Marissa’s and Connor’s musings, Kevin found the children delightful and was ready to meet their requests. “Alright, take your time. Tell me whenever you have more requests, and I’ll fulfill them.”

Lawrence and Lindsay grinned like they’d won the lottery. Coming to Blebert had brought a parade of new relatives and unexpected windfalls, making life feel like a constant series of big wins.

After making the kids float on clouds, Kevin finally turned his attention to Connor. “Mr. Daniels, nice to meet you.”

It was the first formal greeting Kevin gave Connor. Connor managed a smile so polite it was practically a mask. Inwardly, however, he felt like he’d just stepped on a rake. Offending his wife’s brother was not an option unless he wanted to turn his love life into a battlefield. So, tolerance was the best strategy.

Returning the greeting, Connor said, “Nice to meet you, Kevin.”

“Allow me to introduce myself,” Kevin said. “My real name is Kevin, but I also go by an alias in certain circles, Mr. G.”

As Kevin finished speaking, both Marissa and Connor were stunned. Marissa hadn’t spilled the beans to Connor before because she wasn’t sure if Kevin would agree. The last thing she expected was for Kevin to drop this bombshell with zero warning now! Connor, of course, hadn’t anticipated that the person standing before him was the renowned leader of the Rasetsu Group. His expression shifted sharply as Kevin’s words sank in
