Chapter 127

Jonathan had to go on a last – minute business trip to Cranur for about three days . On his way there , he was still obsessing over the situation with Michael , wondering if he was overthinking it .
Michael , who followed him for the trip , leaned against the airplane window while curiously looking around and said , “ Wow , it’s my first time flying first class ! ”
Jonathan fixed his gaze on Michael and replied , “ What did you fly to Jarisburg ? ”
Michael then said , “ We took the train ! I was upset because we didn’t get to see Candy Castle . It was too crowded . ”
Jonathan replied , “ I’ll bring you there when the weather gets warmer . ‘
“ Sure ! ” Michael swung his legs . “ But Mr. Daddy Lime , how’d you know I visited Jarisburg ? ”
“ I also knew that it was Teresa and Miriam who brought you there . Isn’t that so ? ” Jonathan answered .
“ Wow , you’re amazing . ” Michael’s eyes sparkled with admiration . “ We even saw Edward . Do you know him ? He said he’s your cousin . ”
“ Yeah , that’s right . ” Jonathan nodded and patted Michael’s head . “ Edward Lawrence is my cousin . ”
Michael nodded , his eyes still shining . “ Can we stay in your mansion next time ? Edward took us there , and it’s huge . I loved it ! ”
Jonathan bought that courtyard house in Jarisburg for his wife and son . Being unsure if Michael was his son , Jonathan did not respond , afraid that he might let Michael down .
Since Michael didn’t receive a response , he muttered , “ How petty . ”
‘ We are so close , yet he won’t let me stay in his mansion . What a stingy guy ! ‘ Michael thought .
When they arrived in Cranur , Jonathan brought Michael to the hotel and checked into the presidential suite . It was Michael’s first time staying in a hotel suite , which he’d only seen on television .

“ I’ll bring you downstairs to eat before I attend my business meeting . I’ll come back for you after that , all right ? ” Jonathan asked .
Michael nodded obediently . “ Sure ! ”

Baffled , the manager apologized . “ I’m sorry , Mr. Lynn . I didn’t know you and

don’t eat spicy food . I’ll prepare something else right away . ”
“ Thank you , ” Jonathan said politely .
Jonathan then gave Michael the once over . While they were on their way , at least three strangers had mistaken Michael for his son .
‘ Was it just polite small talk or do we look alike ? If this is my son , I feel like I’ve been played ! ‘ Jonathan thought .
“ Mr. Daddy Lime , I don’t eat peppers and blue cheese , ” said Michael .
“ I know . ” Jonathan returned to his senses and patted Michael’s head . “ Me too . ”
After eating , Jonathan sent Michael back to the presidential suite and headed to his business meeting . Michael had his phone in his pocket , but instead of watching videos as usual , he lay on the couch and started drawing . Suddenly , his phone chimed with a message .
Teresa texted : [ Have you eaten ? ] She wasn’t sure if Jonathan was with Michael , so she texted instead of calling .
Haughtily , Michael sent a voice message . “ Yes , Mommy . I’m staying alone in a
presidential suite now , aren’t
you jealous ? ”
Teresa called Michael as soon as she saw the text , thinking the brat hadn’t taken the initiative to call even once over the past few days . She wasn’t a proactive person , so she was waiting for Michael to contact her .
“ Michael , you’re living the high life , aren’t you ? Staying in a presidential suite and living in luxury ? Did you forget about me ? ” Teresa asked .
“ Since I don’t eat spicy food , I ate a kid’s meal Mr. Lime got me and even flew first class today . Mr. Daddy Lime went out , so I’m alone in this presidential suite . The sofa here is bigger than my bed ! ” Michael reported to Teresa in his cute , baby – like voice .
Teresa snorted . “ What’s so great about a presidential suite ? It doesn’t have the warmth of home ! ”
Michael replied , “ Mommy , you’re just jealous , right ? ”
Teresa was speechless .
