Chapter 651
651
When the twins were three years old, Cordelia had asked them whether they wanted me to be with their father or with William.
Having been exceptionally intelligent since they were little, they had answered that either was fine. As long as I was happy, they were okay with either man.
Ever since they were babies, the twins had always been considerate of me and put my preferences first. Regardless of who they liked more, they would choose the one I liked and wanted to be with . They were so mature , caring , and wonderful that I felt all the hardships I had gone through in life had been worth it.
After three years of relentless effort, the AI chip I had been developing was finally successfully released.
Paralyzed, bedridden patients gradually regained mobility thanks to my chip and were now freed from their suffering.
As I watched this happen, I felt even more that my life on earth was worth it. It also made me feel that my time in this life should be spent on my children and my research.
I really loved the life I had now and had no desire to change it.
As for Irvin, I owed him nothing. He was our children’s biological father, and it was only right that he treated them well. But when it came to William, I always carried a sense of guilt.
He constantly told me that loving me was his own business and that everything he had done was of his own will. He also said I never owed him anything, nor was I wasting his time. Even so, I still felt like I owed him.
Not knowing how else to repay William, I sold Noah the patent rights to my AI chip at an ultra–low price.
Right now, everyone was clamoring over each other to own the patent rights to this most cutting–edge technology in the world. It was something that they couldn’t obtain even if they were to fight tooth and nail for it.
Noah had weathered countless storms over the years, so usually nothing fazed him. But when he heard I was giving the patent rights to my invention at such a low price, he couldn’t help but look at me in shock.
He had asked me if I knew how much profit this represented. I had smiled at him and said yes, I did. I knew ho potential profits were. But to me, no matter how big the gain, it couldn’t compare to how well William had bee. the children.

Noah studied me for a long moment before signing the agreement. If he had been his old self, he probably wouldn’t have signed it. Given how his old self felt for me, he would’ve wanted me to profit even more and would’ve refused to take advantage of me.
However, he was no longer the man he used to be. Having forgotten our history, he was now just a successful businessman, and no businessman turned down free profit.
That was also why I had approached Noah to sign the deal, and not William.
After signing the agreement, Noah looked at me and said, “I never understood why my astute and wise uncle would fall so hard for you. But now, I get it. You truly are worthy of the way he feels about you.”
He knew I had only offered the patent rights of my AI chip at such a low price because of William.
People said money tainted relationships and that people shouldn’t let generosity cloud their judgment . That being said , it was also true that in this world, nothing revealed a person’s feeling, character, or virtue more clearly than how they handled profit.
I simply smiled and said nothing .
When Noah looked at my expression , he suddenly saw flashes of images of me in his mind that he had no recollection of , Just as he frowned and started to wonder why he would have such scenes in his head , his phone rang. It was his wife calling .
Remembering it was his son’s birthday today and that he needed to be home to attend his birthday party , he had no time to

dwell on those images. Noah quickly said goodbye to me and left.
As I watched his departing figure, I smiled again before looking away. He really was doing great now.
