The little boy furrowed his brows, then curled his lips into a small smile. “The countryside is too boring for
me, so I came back early.“
Then, he glanced into the ward and asked, “Is Aunty Fiona inside?“
The bodyguard froze for a moment. This was the first time he had ever heard Nigel bring up Fiona on his
own accord. He scratched his head in slight confusion and replied, “Yes, Ms. Blake is inside. Sir gave us
orders to— “
“Ask her to come out and play with me, “ the little boy interjected curtly. “I’m a little bored now.“
The bodyguard remained silent for a moment, then replied, “But Sir said that— “
“I’m Mr. Lynch’s son.“ The little boy shot the bodyguard a cold glance and continued in a calm tone,
“Everything that belongs to Mr. Lynch now will become mine in the future. If you don’t listen to me and
instead choose to offend the future President Lynch, do you know what the consequences will be? Do
you need me to remind you?“
His answer made the bodyguard hesitate for a moment. “But…“
“If anything goes wrong, then ask Mr. Lynch to blame it on me. I’m his son, Nigel. What are you still so
afraid of?“
As soon as they heard this, the bodyguards standing in front of Fiona’s room exchanged glances, then
finally relented. They opened the door to Fiona’s ward and released her.
Upon exiting the room, Fiona still looked a little puzzled. She stared at the young boy before her and
asked, “Nigel?“
“Yes.“ The boy furrowed his brows and seemed a little reluctant to be called this. He turned and headed
toward the elevator. “Come with me, Aunty Fiona. I’ll bring you out to play.“
Fiona froze for a moment, then quickly followed him. The two got into the elevator together.
As soon as the doors slid shut, the little boy let out a sigh of relief.
It did not feel nice at all to be impersonating someone else.
Fiona frowned and glanced at the young boy standing next to her. “You…“
“Nice to meet you,“ Neil said as he extended his hand to shake hers. “I’m Aura Gibson’s son; my name is
Jake Landry.“
Fiona’s eyes widened in shock. “You’re Aura’s son?“
Even though she had seen Jake before and knew that he looked identical to Joshua and Luna’s son, she
had always thought this was just a boy that Aura had brought from abroad to impersonate Nigel.
All of a sudden, this boy claimed to be Aura’s son instead.
“Are you surprised to know this? “ Neil gave her a small smile. “My mom finally told me why I look
identical to Nigel today. It’s because…”
He narrowed his eyes and continued, “My mother, Aura Gibson is Luna’s sister. As for my father, he’s the
same person as Nigel and Nellie’s father…”
Fiona’s eyes were as wide as saucers. “Are you saying that you’re…”
“Yes.” Neil lifted his head to gaze at the direction ahead of him, a somewhat complicated look in his eyes.
“I’m also Joshua’s son. The reason my mother Aura returned to Banyan City is to take my father away
from Luna.”
With that, Neil let out an internal sigh. Truth be told…he was quite fond of the woman known as Luna. He
was even delighted to find out that she was his aunt, but…
He recalled the way Aura had looked when she held the knife against her neck and demanded to know if
he would help her steal Joshua away from Luna, and he closed his eyes.
