Visiting Luke
“Yes! Something huge has happened! Luke is going to be wrecked!”
Hearing that, Tiffany was bewildered, and she couldn’t quite make sense of his meaning. She gaped at
Levant with shock etched on her face. “What do you mean?”
“You’ll know when you go to Imperial Garden for a look!”
At the sight of his urgency as though some disaster was near at hand, Tiffany didn’t question him
further but rushed over to Imperial Garden with him.
Right then, the children were playing in the toy room happily. Evan had just gotten home from work, but
no sooner had he stepped into the living room than Blake came up to him before he could even go
upstairs to change. Blake informed him that Levant had arrived with his wife and was seemingly not
here for a friendly visit as he appeared to be foaming at the mouth.
“Mr. Evan, I’m not quite sure why Mr. Levant is here. Should I allow him in?”
Why he’s here? Ah, I know all too well the answer to that! His darling son is still here, so he’s naturally
here to visit him. Besides, he even phoned me earlier. Therefore, Evan replied, “Let him in.”
“Sure, Mr. Evan!”
Levant headed straight for the living room in a frenzy with Tiffany. When he caught sight of Evan, he
acted as though the man owed him a humongous debt and demanded in a sharp voice, “Where is my
son, Evan? What right do you have to raise him like a dog?”
In response, Evan stared at him coldly without saying a single word, calm and unruffled.
His demeanor aggravated Levant all the more. “Speak up! Have you gone mute, you high and mighty
president of Seet Group?”
The corners of Evan’s mouth lifted slightly, and he casually drawled, “No, I’m just watching a dog bark.”
A dog… bark? This blackguard is actually calling me a dog?
“Evan, that comment is just too caustic! Mark my words that I’m going kill you if you’ve truly ruined my
son!”
“Okay! How are you planning to do that? You merely keep clamoring that you’re going to kill me at
Imperial Garden alone. I think you’re courting death instead!”
Hearing that remark, Levant was so enraged that he spat, “Let’s have a duel!”
“I don’t have the time for that. Anyhow, you didn’t come here to Imperial Garden to have a fight with
me, did you?”
“Is my son okay, Mr. Seet?” the confused Tiffany at the side inquired while looking at Evan in
bemusement.
“He’s perfectly fine. In fact, he’s playing in the toy room.”
Only after Tiffany heard that did her heart that had been lodged in her throat finally settle back into her
chest. She then turned to Levant, mystified about his claim that their son was going to be wrecked.
“I’m glad to hear that. Thank you for having taken such good care of him with your wife, Mr. Seet.”
“Don’t mention it. He’s been doing great here. Anyway, I’ll have someone go and get him.”
After he had said that, a maid headed to the toy room.
In short order, the few children skipped out of the toy room. Luke was exceedingly thrilled when he
spotted his parents.
“Mommy! Daddy!”
“Luke.”
Leaning down, Tiffany reached out and pinched his cheek. When she saw the innocent and adorable
smile on his slightly chubby face, she grinned as well.
“Are you having fun here, Luke?”
Luke nodded, gazing at her with eyes that shone brightly. “I’ve been having tons of fun here, Mommy!
I’ve got so many people to play with me here, and Maya always prepares all kinds of delicious food for
us. Joy and Zayden play with me, too. It’s much more fun here than at Levant Winery!”
“So, you don’t even want to go home anymore and don’t even want your parents, huh?” Levant
questioned with a frosty expression on his face.
Luke thought for a moment before he stared at him gravely. “Daddy, I’ve told you before I came here
that I was running away from home. There’s a condition if you want me to go home.”
Having no idea what that meant, Tiffany queried, “What’s the condition?”
Luke lifted his eyes to her, conflicted as to whether he should answer her honestly, for he couldn’t
shake off the feeling that it would upset her.
“You said you’re running away from home, Luke? Why did you do that?” Tiffany regarded him
anxiously.
