Chapter 81
Alas, saying these things to a child seemed harsh, but it couldn’t be helped.

when they we easily relate to Michael’s feelings. Who hasn’t done some silly things
when they were young? When he was a kid, he often imagined being Elon Musk’s son. However, a fantasy was just that. Hardly any came true, or the world would be full of rich kids. Moreover, the other party was Jonathan. Countless women had been trying to get close to him every day since he established Horizonlead Group and the company became famous.
If Christian hadn’t known Jonathan was pining over Teresa, he wouldn’t have been so sure that Michael had absolutely nothing to do with Jonathan.
Michael asked, “Mr. Dunn, I’m thirsty. I want juice p>
“Okay, I’ll buy you some from the vending machine,” said Christian.
As he went to buy juice, Michael skipped to the entrance to wait. He swayed, holding onto the big pillar in front of the hospital. With his delicate face, high nose bridge, and perfectly shaped lips, he looked like a little prince from a fairy tale.
Benny’s car drove past, and he noticed Michael on the other side of the road. He slammed on the brakes, and the car behind him honked furiously, almost rear–ending
him.
With trembling hands, Benny took out his phone and called Jonathan. “You have a son? And you didn’t tell me p>
Jonathan was confused and replied, “Where would I have a son from? Did you give
birth to one for me? ”
Benny replied hastily, “No. I saw a little boy by the road, around two or three years old. He looked exactly like you when you were a kid. Isn’t he yours p>
Benny and Jonathan were childhood friends. He knew exactly what Jonathan looked like as a child. It was Jonathan’s good looks as a kid that made Benny want to befriend
him.
“You must’ve seen wrong,” Jonathan disagreed. There was no way he had a child. Teresa would never have a baby with him.
“But this kid looks so-” Benny paused when he saw Christian. “Oh, I see the kid’s dad now. Guess I was wrong.
“Ha.” Jonathan hung up. “What was that about?’ he wondered.
Benny wanted to drive away but took several photos in Michael’s direction. His resemblance to Jonathan was uncanny, but the kid already had a father, although the father didn’t look like the kid.
Teresa came out of the bathroom and overheard something about a child. She acted

nonchalant and asked about it casually.
Jonathan leaned back in his chair and said, “Benny said he saw a kid on the street who looked like me and asked if he was mine p>
His deep eyes locked onto Teresa. “How could he be mine?” he muttered.
Teresa pursed her lips. ‘Could the kid he saw be Michael? But Michael should be at home. He is always so well–behaved and obedient, especially with Sherry looking after him, she contemplated.
Thinking of this, Teresa felt more at ease and said calmly, “Well, there’s no way I’m having your child. As for whether you’ve fathered anywhere else, I wouldn’t know p>
“Where would I have another woman?” he asked.
Teresa said, “How would I know if you’ve had another woman in the past two years p>
“I haven’t.” Jonathan got up to go to the bathroom.
As he walked past Teresa, she asked, “Do you need my help p>
“No need.” He closed the bathroom door behind him.
Teresa shrugged. Jonathan was mad again. She realized she hadn’t gone home in three days and wondered if Michael missed her. She tried calling him but couldn’t get through, so she went to the living room and called Sherry.
Sherry quickly assured, “We’re home. I’m watching over him.” At the same time, she texted Christian to send Michael back quickly.
