Maybe it was because he had seen Corinne at the auction house earlier in the day and thought she did

not look like a bad person. He narrowed his eyes when an image of Corinne flashed through his mind.

“What does your mother do?” he asked.

“My Mommy is super awesome. She’s the president of my Daddy’s company!” said Bryan proudly.

A look of skepticism flashed across Jeremy’s eyes. ‘She’s a president? But she doesn’t look like the

type who can lead a company! After all, who’d follow a leader who looks that cute and innocent?

Also…’

“Didn’t you say you don’t have a father? Why is your mother helping him run the company?” he asked.

Bryan frowned and pouted. His eyes shone as he answered, “Mister, you’re not really that smart, are

you? Of course I have a father! Otherwise, how did my Mommy make me? I meant that my Daddy

hasn’t been with US since I was young, so I’ve never seen him before. It doesn’t mean my Mommy is a

being that can give birth to a baby without a man. Do you understand now?”

Jeremy was speechless. ‘Well, he certainly schooled me.’

He did not think there was anything wrong with his question, but after being schooled, he felt like he

was rather dumb.

“Then where’s your father now?” asked Jeremy again. He rarely showed any curiosity toward other

people, but for some reason, he really wanted to know more about Corinne.

Bryan looked down sadly and sighed. “That’s the thing; we don’t know. Apparently, he went missing on

the day my twin sister and I were born. My Mommy has been looking for him everywhere over the

years, but there was

no lead on him at all. She really misses him. Sometimes, she’ll talk in her sleep, calling out to him

‘Mister’.”

“Mister?” Jeremy’s chest suddenly tightened as the wave of familiarity and sadness washed over him.

Bryan nodded. “Yes. My Mommy calls my Daddy ‘Mister’ because they have an age difference of

almost ten years.”

Mister…’ Jeremy snapped out of his daze. “Sounds like your father isn’t a responsible man at all. How

could he abandon your mother while she was giving birth?” he asked with a raised eyebrow.

Bryan’s face fell, and he answered angrily, “Even though I’ve never seen my Daddy before or know

what kind of person he is, you still have no right to talk about him like that!”

Jeremy laughed when he saw Bryan all puffed up with anger. It was one of the rare times he actually

showed any emotion.

“Why are you so protective of me if you’ve never seen him before? Don’t you think he shouldn’t have

abandoned your Mommy like that?”

Bryan’s feelings for his father were complicated, to say the least. After thinking it over, he said

seriously, “I don’t know exactly what happened that time ’cause my Mommy wouldn’t tell US… But I

trust her judgment of people. The fact that she was willing to marry my Daddy means that he must be a

great person. If not, she wouldn’t have stubbornly waited for him to come back until now. She wouldn’t

even look at other men out of respect for my Daddy!”

Jeremy narrowed his eyes. ‘ Meaning to say, your Mommy has never accepted any other men’s

advances at all?”

Bryan nodded resolutely. “That’s right! It’s not surprising other men would like her since she’s so pretty,

but she wouldn’t even give them any of her time. She mostly spends her time running my Daddy’s

company because she said she has to protect my Daddy’s hard work.”

Jeremy was stunned. He could not help but be impressed by Corinne’s character. ‘I guess that’s why

people say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. I’d never taken her for such a strong woman by her

looks alone.’
