They reached the office soon enough. Benjamin was carried like a little trinket in his arms. A huge plush poodle was strapped to the back of his T–shirt, bouncing up and down as they walked.
Dawn had put a baseball cap on him, pulled low to cover most of his face<i>. </i>He looked clueless and adorable.
The man carrying him, on the other hand, was in a perfectly tailored suit, calm andposed The contrast couldn’t have been sharper.
They rode the elevator upstairs. Wherever they passed, people whispered.
Some even secretly took photos and posted them in thepany group chats.
<i>This </i><i>is </i><i>huge</i><i>! </i>
<i>Mr. </i><i>Jackson </i><i>brought </i><i>a </i><i>kid </i><i>to </i><i>work</i><i>! </i>
<i>Whose </i>is it? <i>When </i><i>was </i><i>he </i><i>born</i>? <i>Is </i><i>he </i><i>a </i><i>secret </i><i>child </i><i>or </i><i>the </i><i>result </i><i>of </i><i>a </i><i>hidden </i><i>marriage</i>?
Those questions kept every group chat B
all morning.
Ethan knew nothing about it. When it was time for the meeting, he settled Benjamin in the lounge area nearby and walked into the conference room.
When he turned around, he caught the curiou
stares that hadn’t even been put away yet. He snorted. “What, you all switching careers to celebrity reporters?”
Everyone quickly scattered, embarrassed.
“No, no… We were just checking if the kid needed anything.”
“Yeah, yeah! I’ve got snacks at my desk. Does he want some?”
Once someone found an excuse, everyone else followed to get another look at the kid.
And honestly, the resemnce was eerie.
But work still had to be done.

That said, the moment the meeting ended, Benjamin waspletely surrounded by people holding gifts.
“Little guy, what’s your name?”
“Tell me in secret–what’s your rtionship with our Mr. Jackson?”
The questions kept getting more and more inappropriate. Tony rushed over and pushed them back. “Don’t you all have jobs to do? If you scare the kid, are you gonna take responsibility for that?”
That finally sent them back to their desks.
Benjamin looked at the pile of food and toys in front of him and blinked.
“Tony, do they all want me to be their kid?”
Tony froze. “Huh? What makes you think that?”
“Then why are they giving me so many presents?”
Benjamin sat straight and said seriously, “But there’s only one of me. I’m already Daddy and Mommy’s kid. I can’t be anyone else’s kid.”
Tony’s head was spinning.
Heughed awkwardly. “They just like you. You can ept their gifts. Don’t worry about the rest.”
Ethan still had an international meeting.
So babysitting duty fell on Tony.
Honestly, he didn’t <ol><li>it. get </li></ol>
<i>This </i><i>kid </i><i>isn’t </i><i>even </i><i>Mr. </i><i>Jackson’s</i>. <i>Isn’t </i><i>he </i><i>taking </i><i>this </i><i>way </i><i>too </i><i>seriously</i><i>? </i>
“Tony.” Benjamin was bored out of his mind and rested his chin in his hands. “What are you thinking about?”
“I was thinking your daddy isn’t really your daddy, but he still insists on being your daddy…” Tony finished his tongue–twister of a sentence, then realized it wasn’t something he should say to a kid.
<i>Well</i><i>… </i><i>actually</i>.

Tony sighed and patted Benjamin’s head. “You’re still a little kid. There are lots of things you don’t need to know yet.”
“Who says I don’t get it?”
Benjamin pped his hand away and huffed.
“You think Daddy Ethan shouldn’t be my daddy, right?”
Tony had no words. He hadn’t expected the kid to actually get it.
Benjamin didn’t care what Ethan was feeling and said proudly, “If he shouldn’t, then he shouldn’t. Anyway, the people lining up to be my daddy stretch all the way to Faloria. My mommy doesn’t exactlyck husbands.”
Tony was stunned. <i>Did </i><i>a </i><i>three</i><i>–</i><i>year</i><i>–</i><i>old </i><i>really </i><i>just </i><i>say </i><i>that</i><i>? </i>
“No… that’s not what I meant.”
Tony hurried to change the topic. “I mean, your mommy is amazing, and lots of people are worthy of her, b–but…”
<i>That’s </i><i>not </i><i>my </i><i>point</i>.
It’s <i>more </i><i>like</i>… <i>Mr. </i><i>Jackson </i><i>used </i><i>to </i><i>be </i><i>someone </i><i>who </i><i>couldn’t </i><i>tolerate </i><i>things </i><i>going </i><i>against </i><i>his </i><i>wishes</i>. <i>Who </i><i>would’ve </i><i>thought </i><i>he’d </i><i>be </i><i>a </i><i>stepdad</i><i>? </i>
Benjamin watched him struggle to exin,pletely confused.
He muttered, “But what? Even before Mommy was my mommy, tons of people chased after her… She’s never been short on boyfriends anyway.”
A lightbulb went off in Tony’s head. He suddenly grabbed Benjamin by the shoulders. “What do you mean, before your mommy was your mommy? Is Dawn not your real mommy?”
Benjamin had no idea why he was so worked up.
“She’s not. She adopted me before.
“Then Daddy found me, and she became my mommy.”
Those crisp little words blew open a massive secret.
