"..." Kiki’s eyes reddened, and he lowered his head without a word.
Seeing Kiki’s hurt expression, Mika Sumrs knew she had scared him again. She sighed softly. "Kiki, I’m sorry. Mommy didn’t an to snap at you."
Kiki looked up at Mika Sumrs. "But I like Dad. I want to be with him."
"Okay, Mommy understands. Don’t be sad, and don’t cry. If you like him, then you can be with him."
"Then what about you?" Kiki asked quietly, a glimr of hope in his eyes.
Mika Sumrs hadn’t expected Kiki to ask that. A bitter smile touched her lips as tears welled in her eyes. She reached out and caressed Kiki’s small face. "? Mommy will probably go back to Austerra, because this place, this city... it breaks my heart."
"..."
She chuckled softly. "Look at ... what’s wrong with , telling you all this? Anyway, just rember that Mommy loves you, Kiki. I’ll always love you."
This ti, Kiki didn’t throw a fit. He just kept his head down, silent.
’He didn’t understand what she was saying, but he knew this woman wasn’t going to be with them...’

When Silas Kent saw Mika Sumrs arrive with the child, he frowned for a mont before smiling. "So this is Kiki?"
"That’s right," Mika Sumrs nodded.
"He really doesn’t look like you," Silas Kent said with another smile, rubbing his chin as he studied the boy.
Silas Kent’s words made Mika Sumrs’s expression darken. She sat on the sofa, holding Kiki close, and said coldly, "What do you an he doesn’t look like ? I think he looks exactly like ."
"Haha, now that I take a closer look, I guess there is a little resemblance." Silas Kent got up, walked over to the mother and son, and leaned in for another careful inspection.
"Of course he looks like ," Mika Sumrs said, displeased, hugging Kiki tighter and looking up at him.
Silas Kent dropped his smile and put on a serious expression, clearing his throat. "Ahem, your na is Kiki, right?" he asked softly.
"Mhm..." Kiki nodded, his eyes filled with a wariness reserved for strangers.
"Kiki, your mom has to work. How about I take you out for a bit?" Silas Kent said patiently.
But upon hearing this, Kiki imdiately turned and clung to Mika Sumrs, coldly refusing, "No! You’re a bad guy, stay away from !"
’He has shifty eyes. He doesn’t look like a good person at all. He must be another bad guy trying to kidnap .’
Feeling Kiki cling to her so tightly, Mika Sumrs was inwardly delighted. She laughed heartlessly. "Haha! Silas Kent, you’ve finally t your match!"
Silas Kent shrugged and sank onto the sofa in defeat. "Well, there’s no mistaking you’re mother and son."
"We are mother and son."

’That woman really has so nerve! A lot of nerve!’
’If he doesn’t give her the dicine, she’ll just go buy it herself?’
’Their relationship is just a transaction?’
’Hah...’
’So ruthless. So despicable!’
Just then, Howard Rhodes rushed in. "Boss," he said in a serious tone, "the Old Master just called. He wants to know when you plan on coming back."
"Next month," Archie Lockwood said coldly, suppressing his rage as he sat back down in his chair.
"But the Old Master said... there’s been so progress on the matter of the madam..."
At those words, Archie Lockwood shot to his feet. "We’re going back now."
"Yes, sir."
