Michael emphasized, “Well, Mommy is Mommy p>
Christian was rendered speechless by his response. “Kid, I mean, what’s your mom’s name p>
“Mister, why do you want to know Mommy’s name? What are you up to?” Michael probed warily.
Christian stated, “You’ve got it wrong. I’m not a bad person. I’m just asking because Mr. Lynn said he doesn’t have any kids. There’s no need for a DNA test p>
With his hands on his hips, Michael voiced, “But if we do the test, he can be my dad, right? That’s what Google says p>
Christian mused, ‘This kid probably doesn’t even know what a DNA test is. ‘
Just then, Michael’s kiddie phone rang. The boy answered it.
“Mike, where did you run off to?” Sherry’s voice came.
Christian took the phone from Michael. “Hello, are you his mom? Your son is at the entrance of Horizonlead Group’s lobby. Can you please come pick him up p>
There was silence on Sherry’s end for a few seconds before she replied, “Oh, okay p>
Sherry hurried to Horizonlead Group. Michael called and addressed her as “Sherry” instead of “Mom,” leaving Christian puzzled. “Aren’t you his mom?” asked Christian p>
“Nope, I’m still single.” One of Sherry’s hands was tucked in her white coat pocket. She took it out and waved dismissively as her face flushed.
“Oh, I see,” Christian replied.
Sherry continued, “I’ll take him back now. Sorry for any trouble p>
Christian was neat–looking and a bit nerdy. He was exactly her type, like a newly
graduated university student with a youthful innocence in his eyes.
Christian noticed that Sherry didn’t have her car, so he suggested, “Let me give you a
ride back p>
Sherry looked up and beamed. “Sure, I won’t say no to
your offer p>
Christian smiled. He owned a car, a Toyota that cost about 65,000 dollars.
Sherry and Michael sat in the back seat. The drive was smooth, and soon, Michael fell asleep with his head on Sherry’s lap.
Sherry started the conversation, “Uh, my name is Sherry Roth! What’s your name p>
“I’m Christian Dunn,” the man introduced himself.
Sherry replied, “What p>
Christian repeated through gritted teeth, “Christian Dunn. ”

“Sorry?” Sherry asked again.
“It’s Christian… Dunn, Christian enunciated his words.
Sherry laughed heartily. “Wow, why did your parents give you such a difficult name?” Christian’s name was a real mouthful to her.
Christian massaged his temple and said helplessly, “Many people tell me that. Even my university friends still have trouble calling my name sometimes p>
Sherry laughed, covering her mouth as her eyes curved into slits. “You just graduated from university, didn’t you?” she asked.
“I’m 26 years old and just graduated from postgraduate school a year ago,” replied Christian. Coincidentally, Sherry was also 26.
Michael was still asleep when they reached Rosary Estates. Sherry covered him with her jacket and carried the child out of the car. Before leaving, she asked Christian for his WhatsApp.
Christian added Sherry as a friend, and as soon as Sherry got home, she messaged him: [Thank you for sending us home, I’ll call you Christian, okay? You can call me Sher.
Christian texted: [Don’t worry about it, Sher p>
Sherry smiled. She hadn’t felt this happy in a long time.
Meanwhile, Michael woke up and rubbed his eyes. Sherry scolded him, reminding h not to run off anymore. Fortunately, Teresa wasn’t back yet. Otherwise, she would have been upset.
Michael pouted. “I miss Mr. Lime, okay? Sherry, if I do an ADN test, can Mr. Lime become my dad p>
Sherry was taken aback. “You mean a DNA paternity test, right? That could technically make Mr. Lynn your dad. But you’re just a child, and no one would perform the test for you p>
Then, Sherry continued chatting with Christian.
They were the same age, and even more coincidentally, both had graduated from Nareigh University of Finance and Economics.
Sherry also learned that Christian, who came from a small town, had come to Nareigh to carve out a future for himself. Then, he earned Jonathan’s favor, becoming his secretary. He also had a cousin, Keith Dunn, who served as Jonathan’s driver. They were fortunate to be valued by Jonathan. They served Jonathan diligently, and Jonathan treated them well, providing excellent benefits and working conditions. Sherry sent: [I’m working with Teresa Johnston now. You should know her, right?] Christian replied: [Teresa? She’s Mr. Lynn’s ex–wife p>

Sherry wrote: [Don’t you think it’s a great coincidence? Do you think they’ll get back. together? Oh… I hope they do. It would be great if they had more good–looking kids.
Christian replied: [Haha. The way you said it, someone might think they already have kids p>
Sherry suddenly realized she had revealed too much. She mused, ‘Oh no. I can’t betray Teresa’s trust. I can’t tell Christian about Michael,
She messaged: [It’s getting late, Christian. We’ve been chatting for four hours. I’m going to shower now p>
He replied: [All right, I’m off to take a shower too p>
Sherry was in a great mood after their chat, humming a cheerful tune.
