Chapter 80

Alas , saying these things to a child seemed harsh , but it couldn’t be helped .
Christian
when they we easily relate to Michael’s feelings . Who hasn’t done some silly things
when they were young ? When he was a kid , he often imagined being Elon Musk’s son . However , a fantasy was just that . Hardly any came true , or the world would be full of rich kids . Moreover , the other party was Jonathan . Countless women had been trying to get close to him every day since he established Horizonlead Group and the company became famous .
If Christian hadn’t known Jonathan was pining over Teresa , he wouldn’t have been so sure that Michael had absolutely nothing to do with Jonathan .
Michael asked , “ Mr. Dunn , I’m thirsty . I want juice . ”
“ Okay , I’ll buy you some from the vending machine , ” said Christian .
As he went to buy juice , Michael skipped to the entrance to wait . He swayed , holding onto the big pillar in front of the hospital . With his delicate face , high nose bridge , and perfectly shaped lips , he looked like a little prince from a fairy tale .
Benny’s car drove past , and he noticed Michael on the other side of the road . He slammed on the brakes , and the car behind him honked furiously , almost rear – ending
him .
With trembling hands , Benny took out his phone and called Jonathan . “ You have a son ? And you didn’t tell me ?”
Jonathan was confused and replied , “ Where would I have a son from ? Did you give
birth to one for me ? ”
Benny replied hastily , “ No. I saw a little boy by the road , around two or three years old . He looked exactly like you when you were a kid . Isn’t he yours ? ”
Benny and Jonathan were childhood friends . He knew exactly what Jonathan looked like as a child . It was Jonathan’s good looks as a kid that made Benny want to befriend
him .
“ You must’ve seen wrong ,” Jonathan disagreed . There was no way he had a child . Teresa would never have a baby with him .
“ But this kid looks so- ” Benny paused when he saw Christian . “ Oh , I see the kid’s dad now . Guess I was wrong .
“ Ha . ” Jonathan hung up . “ What was that about ?’ he wondered .
Benny wanted to drive away but took several photos in Michael’s direction . His resemblance to Jonathan was uncanny , but the kid already had a father , although the father didn’t look like the kid .
Teresa came out of the bathroom and overheard something about a child . She acted

nonchalant and asked about it casually .
Jonathan leaned back in his chair and said , “ Benny said he saw a kid on the street who looked like me and asked if he was mine . ”
His deep eyes locked onto Teresa . “ How could he be mine ? ” he muttered .
Teresa pursed her lips . ‘ Could the kid he saw be Michael ? But Michael should be at home . He is always so well – behaved and obedient , especially with Sherry looking after him , she contemplated .
Thinking of this , Teresa felt more at ease and said calmly , “ Well , there’s no way I’m having your child . As for whether you’ve fathered anywhere else , I wouldn’t know . ”
“ Where would I have another woman ? ” he asked .
Teresa said , “ How would I know if you’ve had another woman in the past two years ? ”
“ I haven’t . ” Jonathan got up to go to the bathroom .
As he walked past Teresa , she asked , “ Do you need my help ? ”
“ No need . ” He closed the bathroom door behind him .
Teresa shrugged . Jonathan was mad again . She realized she hadn’t gone home in three days and wondered if Michael missed her . She tried calling him but couldn’t get through , so she went to the living room and called Sherry .
Sherry quickly assured , “ We’re home . I’m watching over him . ” At the same time , she texted Christian to send Michael back quickly .
