Chapter 93 Her son?
Chapter 93 Her son?
Wei Xu left the Dungeon with An Yichen. They both kept their mouth shut and were thinking about something.
They got to the parking lot, and Wei got in the car while Oliver followed him in as well.
“The hell are you. Get the hell out of my car.”
“Stop whining. You own me an explanation.”Oliver kept saying as he buckled himself up. “What did you mean you doubt that? Are you telling me we wronged that woman for all those years?”
“Asshole.” Wei did not want to waste his energy to kick Oliver out. “Well, that was just a reasonable guess. Whether we wronged her or not it depends on the findings.”
“Then why are you saying this shit like that didn’t make sense or something. You confused me, bro.” Oliver rolled his eyes. “Only Ethan listened to your blah blah.”
“single-celled organism” Wei murmured and then explained. “Ethan listened to my words because he already found that.”
“Huh? How? He never told me that.”
“Okay, name one thing he used to mention to us actively.”
“Ummm...”
“See? Why do you think he let Qu and Yoyo go like that?” Wei lit a cigarette and answered his question. “Because he was swayed. Only I don’t know if he knew it himself.”
Wei was right.
He was swayed, but he would not admit it even if he found out.
...
Echo Xu ran to the office door in a hurry. She knocked on the door. Twice, then again, while no one answered once inside. She moved back a step to check the sign on the door, but that was the right door.
As she was confused, a deep voice came from inside. She took a deep breath and opened the door. The slight light of the hall came in with her and lit a little bit of the room. A figure was sitting on the sofa, silent and stock-still.
If Echo did not know that was Ethan, this scene would scare the shit out of her.
“M...Mr. Mo.”
“Speak.” From the shadow came his voice.
“Um...Are you aware of the time when Belle Ye come back?”
Belle did not ask Echo for leave but Echo did not meet her for a couple of days. While Barry Mo did send some of his guys to search the club, Echo knew it was about Belle.
Hearing that name, Ethan suddenly sat up straight and stared at her with his eyes reflected shimmer in the dark.
“Why do you ask?”
“She used to ask me to find a kid, and I just ran into one suiting her description, so I want to bring her to check.”
Clik.
The chandelier was suddenly turned on.
Echo just adjusted the dark, so she covered her eyes in the bright light, and when she opened her eyes again, Ethan was right in front of her.
What the...Echo thought.
“Kid? What kid? Where?” His cold face now turned to astonishment.
Unbelievable, angry, and with a little bit of expectation. The complex expression of Ethan was too bare for Echo to see, she did not know how to open her mouth for a moment.
“Mr.Mo, that...um...that kid is in my office now. I don’t know the details.” Echo did not know why Ethan acted like that, but she knew as an employee, she should never be interested in the boss’s privacy.
She went ahead of Ethan, trying to lead the way, while Ethan walked in a hurry and caught up with her.
Soon, he saw the kid Echo mentioned.
A little kid at the age of four or five years old was sitting in the chair of the office. Seeing this, Ethan opened his mouth but then closed it, because he could not make a sound.
Echo stood behind him and did not dare to say a word. Until Ethan went in slowly that she felt relieved, but she did not follow him in.
The boy sat there quietly and was not afraid of the stranger walking in. He looked drawn in his cute little face which showed that he might be sick for quite a long time. His T-shirt and short pants were washed for too many times and the colors were almost faded into white.
Their eyes met together.
“What’s your name?” Ethan looked at his eyes which were pretty and also unique. So unique were his eyes that he only knew one person with those eyes.
Without a word, the boy just looked up to him and stared at him innocently. It reminded of Ethan a woman.
“What’s your name?” He asked again.
Still silent.
Echo Xu came in and explained in a hurry.
“Mr. Mo, I’m told this kid...got some issue with his brain and he possibly could not speak as...”
“You my daddy?” The boy opened his mouth suddenly and interrupted Echo.
She was astonished.
“No!”Ethan replied to him in a serious tone.
Was this kid...her son?
She was married, and she gave birth to a kid...
That was not what Ethan expected, especially when he saw the kid was at the age of four or five. According to his age, it was exactly five years ago, which meant she had to find a guy to marry and have a baby right after the breaking out.
Thinking of that, Ethan calmed himself down. His eyes looking at the boy were back to emotionlessness. From NôvelDrama.Org.
“Who brought him here?”
“A man called Tang. He left before I got to the front desk. He said he found this kid in the street a couple years ago, and he brought him to me because he heard I was looking for a kid.”
That man had long gone after Echo was called to the front desk. That kid was standing there alone, waiting for her.
“We didn’t know if this kid was who Belle Ye was looking for and the man who sent him here left as well. What should I do with this kid, Mr. Mo? ”
