Chapter 1943


    Nicole could immediately sense a sort of palpable tension in the air, so she steered the direction of the


    conversation away. "He''s too young to know anything...He recognized him as a fatherly figure."


    Niki said it lightly, knowing that it was true that her son had realized that he did not have a father once


    he was old enough to go to kindergarten at the age of three. Thus, Leo became his fatherly figure and,


    ever since then, Nn had been calling him his godfather. Furthermore, everyone even thought that


    Leo was his real father.


    "Oh?" Jared grimaced, still displeased at the thought before switching his focus on Nn.


    ''This brat bit me when we first met. I still have his teeth marks on my legs. I can''t believe he easily


    trusted a random guy enough to call him his godfather!'' he fumed.


    Nn, who felt that he was being stared at, suddenly opened his eyes and screamed, "Godfather! Help


    me!"


    Hearing the screams of her son, she hurried over and hugged him. "Nn! What''s wrong with you?"


    It was only then that Nn realized it was all a dream, and quickly hugged Niki.


    "Mommy, I had a nightmare...I dreamed that the big viin came to bully us...,''


    But before Nn could finish his sentence, he saw a pair of slender legs standing in front of him. Nn


    looked up and was startled.


    "Why is the big viin here!"


    Jared was about to lose his cool, ''How could he call a random guy his godfather, and me a big viin!''


    "Kid, who told you I was a bad guy?" Jared suppressed his emotions and asked in a cold voice.


    Feeling intimidated by Jared, the young boy ignored his words and argued, "You kidnapped both me


    and my mommy! If you''re not a bad guy, then what are you!?"


    Jared''s heart froze for a moment. He did not know that his actions at the airport would scare them.


    Moreover, it had caused Nicole to think that he was a bad person, prompting her to attack his


    company''s system. At this juncture, Jared could not grasp the idea that he was a bad guy from a child''s


    perspective. It was in that moment that he regretted his impulsive actions


    ''How could I have made such a terrible first impression on a child like this?'' Jared thought, feeling very


    ufortable under Nn''s hateful stare.

    Not wishing to make matters worse, he said, "You mayfort him first. I''ll be outside."


    Jared left the room, with Niki feeling strangely confused by the fact that Jared had a grimace on his


    face. ''Is this an illusion?''


    At that moment, Nn got out of Niki''s grasp and examined her body for wounds, "Mommy, did he


    bully you?"


    Nicole shook her head. "No, He just asked us for some information..."


    Then, something clicked in Niki''s mind. ''Is this guy really my enemy?''


    Outside the room, Jared had gone downstairs and gotten himself a cup of coffee. There was a solemn


    grimace on his face. It did not take long for a knock to emanate from the door, whereupon the butler let


    the person in.


    It was Preston.


    As soon as he entered through the door, Preston excitedly asked, "Did you really find her?!"


    Jared remained silent for a while.


    This agitated Preston, who yelled, "Talk man!! Did you find her or did you not? Or have we mistaken


    her for someone else?"


    At the time they focused their gaze on that person, it really looked like Nicole. However, they did not get


    a close look of her.


    Jared looked at Preston anxiously, ced his cup of coffee down, and responded, "You didn''t mistake


    her for someone else"


    Preston immediately became thrilled. "It really is Nicole! She''s alive!"
