Leo was very nervous at that time and he kept wandering in the corridor, rubbing his hands constantly.

The doctors passing by saw him like this and couldn’t help but patted him on the shoulder. “It’s your first time to be a father, right? Don’t be nervous, relax.”

He was also so guilty at the time.

Seeing that I remained silent, Leo continued to explain, “Taylor, I just kissed Reynard because he was so cute. You won’t blame me, right?”

I smiled and said frankly, “How could that be? I am busy with work and inevitably neglect my family. You can help me take care of my wife and children. I can’t thank you enough.”

Hearing what I said, Leo and Audrey breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

My son ran to me and asked me with innocent eyes, “Dad, are you going to the company today, or going to kindergarten with me and mom?”

I touched my son’s head and asked, “What does Reynard want from dad?”

My son answered without hesitation, “I hope dad will go to the company and then Uncle Leo will accompany me and mom to kindergarten!”

As if she was afraid that her son would speak without restraint, Audrey immediately held her son in her arms and explained, “Husband, Reynard is afraid of delaying your work. Last time, he said that dad’s work is hard and asked us not to disturb you if nothing happens!”

Leo also nodded and agreed. “Reynard is a sensible child. Only someone as outstanding as you can give birth to such a well-behaved son like Reynard.”

I smiled and said to my son, “Then dad will listen to Reynard.”

Hearing this, my son jumped and jumped with joy.

He ran out directly, holding Leo and Audrey’s hands as if no one was around.

Looking at the happy picture of their family of three, I smiled in secret.

I turned back to the study, turned on the computer and continued to do what I had not finished.

It seemed that he thought I was particularly slow and could not notice anything unusual.

Leo became more and more bold.

In the past, he would only secretly meet Audrey when I went to the company.

Now, even if I was at home, he would find various excuses to come to my house.

“Taylor, I have recently learned cooking skills by myself. I want to come here to make something delicious. Thank you for your support for me over the years.”

“Taylor, I just came back from the countryside and brought a lot of local specialties. I came here specially to give them to you.”

“Taylor, I quit my job and started my own business. I am still short of start-up capital. Can you help me again?”

***

Although I knew in my heart that Leo’s purpose of coming to my house every time was to see Reynard and Audrey, but I still did not refuse.

As long as he came to my house, I would welcome him politely.

I would also respond to his requests for help.

Audrey was very satisfied with this state.

When she saw Leo coming to her house, the corners of her mouth would always rise uncontrollably.

Sometimes, she would exchange glances with Leo in front of me.

Even Reynard became more and more intimate with Leo.

She even bought Leo a pair of home slippers so that he could come over at any time.

This kind of life continued until Reynard took the college entrance examination.

On the day when the scores were released, Leo came to my house early in the morning.

We waited for Reynard’s test results together.

Seeing Reynard’s ridiculously low college entrance examination score, Audrey was so angry that her eyebrows stood up.

“Why did you only get such a low score?”

Reynard said indifferently, “So what? Anyway, our family is rich and dad can just buy me a degree when the time comes!”

Audrey glanced at me vaguely.

Seeing that I didn’t express my opinion, she sighed.

“No matter how much your dad loves you, he can’t let you do this! He originally planned to retire early and let you take over the company. How can your dad trust you to hand over the company to you if you are so disappointing?”

Leo also echoed earnestly, “Reynard, your mom is right. Although Taylor is your dad and will definitely not ignore you, you still need to have some skills of your own. Otherwise, how can you make those old-timers in the company obey you after you take over the company?”

Looking at the two singing the same tune, I smiled slightly and said, “It’s okay, I have already planned for Reynard. Just send him abroad for further studies when the time comes. Anyway, everything I have is left to Reynard. When he comes back from studying abroad, he can take over my company naturally.”

Hearing what I said, the three of them smiled with satisfaction.

I laughed too.

They laughed at me for being too stupid.

I laughed at them for being too naive.

During the period of applying for study abroad procedures, I took Reynard to the company every day.

On the one hand, I taught him to be familiar with the company’s business without reservation.

On the other hand, I asked the company’s elders to communicate more with Reynard to prepare for their assistance to Reynard in the future.

On the day of going abroad, after Audrey sent Reynard to the airport, she kept holding Reynard’s hand, with a look of reluctance on her face.

Leo also came specially.

He carried large and small bags for Reynard, fearing that he would be a little tired.

The two kept giving instructions to Reynard.

The scene was warm and touching and it was really a mother’s worry when her son was thousands of miles away.

Reynard boarded the plane and the two kept watching the plane fly high in the sky until it disappeared.

They left with tears in their eyes and reluctantly.

After Reynard went abroad, Leo came to my house less frequently.

But Audrey went out more and more frequently.

Every time she went out, she would dress up carefully for an hour.

When she came back, her face was rosy and full of spring.

Whenever I asked, she would either say that she went shopping with her bestie to get her hair done. Or she said she had signed up for a dance fitness class.

When she couldn’t find an excuse, she would pretend to be sad and wipe her tears and cry.

“Reynard has never left me. I can’t help missing her after being abroad for so long. If I don’t find something to do, I’ll go crazy.”

I ignored the smell of Leo’s cologne on her and comforted her with a smile, “Reynard will be back soon and then our family can be reunited again.”

Audrey smiled and said meaningfully, “Yes, soon our family of three will be reunited.”

Four years later, Reynard returned from studying abroad.

Leo, who hadn’t seen me for a long time, came to my house early in the morning as before and accompanied me and Audrey to meet him at the airport.

The moment they saw Reynard, Leo and Audrey couldn’t control their emotions and rushed forward.

They hugged Reynard tightly in their arms as if no one was around.

After the three of them vented their longing, Reynard walked straight toward me and said straight to the point, “Dad, I’m back. When will I be able to manage your company?”

Looking at Reynard’s impatient look, I smiled calmly. “Let’s go, I’ve already held a press conference. I’ll hand everything over to you right away in front of everyone.”

The press conference was packed with people.

All media reporters and celebrities gathered here, just to see the change of ownership of the business giant Richards Group.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, I announced that Reynard would take over my position as the president of the Richards Group.

And under the witness of lawyers and interview cameras, I signed the equity transfer agreement.

All the property and company shares under my name were transferred to Reynard’s name.

For a while, there was thunderous applause and the crowd was boiling.

Many people were sighing at the deep father-son relationship between Reynard and me.

The eyes looking at Reynard were full of envy.

However, at this moment, Leo came late, holding Audrey’s hand.

In the puzzled and surprised eyes of everyone, Leo took out a paternity test report and said to me loudly, “Taylor, Reynard is actually my son. He has called you dad for more than 20 years. Now, you should give him back to me.”

Hearing this, the scene was instantly in an uproar.

“Isn’t this the poor student that Mr. Richards has been supporting? He actually cheated on Mr. Richards and had a child?”

“This is a typical bastard behavior! Mr. Richards helped him so much, but he actually repaid kindness with hatred?”

“He didn’t recognize him earlier or later. Mr. Richards just signed the equity transfer agreement and he recognized his son here. Isn’t it obvious that he came for Mr. Richards’s property?”

“That’s right, they are too much. Not only did they break up, but they also cheated and they also emptied their property. How vicious!”

Amid the fierce condemnation of everyone, Audrey spoke with confidence. “In the first half of my life, I have been bound by marriage. Countless difficult nights, I have been asking myself, is this really the life I want? Taylor has a good family background and treats me very well, but the one I really love in my heart is Leo. I am just pursuing my true love, is it wrong? In a relationship, the unloved is the third party and marriage should not be a shackle for pursuing true love. I hope everyone blesses us!”

Audrey was full of confidence and spoke loudly.

I ignored her and looked directly at Reynard beside me and asked, “What do you think?”

Reynard looked carefully at the equity transfer agreement in his hand and then said calmly, “Dad, this is the last time I call you like this. Although you have raised me carefully for more than 20 years, you are not my biological father after all. Blood is thicker than water, I hope you will not prevent our family of three from reuniting.”

After that, Reynard threw a divorce agreement in my face and said proudly, “While everyone is here, you should divorce my mother today and set her free. Since you have been so devoted to me for so many years, I will give you 68,70 dollars in alimony every month in the future.”

Hearing this, everyone at the scene was indignant.

“It’s true that people of the same family are like one another. What kind of family are these three?”

“That’s right. Everyone knows that Mr. Richards has always held his son in his hands and loved him dearly! He has spoiled him for so many years. Just after transferring his billions of assets to him, he turned around and recognized someone else as his father?”

“68,70 dollars alimony a month, is this like sending away beggars? How can he have the nerve to say that?”

“I, an outsider, can’t stand it! Mr. Richards, don’t bother with this family of ungrateful people!”

“That’s right, they are going too far!”

Everyone at the scene spoke up for me and some even offered to help me sue and take back my property.

Faced with everyone’s reactions, Leo and Audrey always looked calm.

It seemed that no matter what happened, they were ready to deal with it.

However, in the midst of everyone’s indignation, I smiled secretly. “Okay.”

After that, I signed the divorce agreement in the surprised eyes of everyone.

Seeing this, Leo and Audrey were slightly stunned, as if they didn’t expect me to agree so readily.

They picked up the divorce agreement and equity transfer document, checked them carefully and only smiled with relief after confirming that they were correct.
