245 Ch. 245 Richard Meet Elliot
Richardâs transparent glasses were special, as they were a program that could hack the camera and let him know about Anxiaâs exact position. This program could also make him see in the dark and tell him that an enemy is behind him. You could say his glasses were a third eye to see Richardâs blind spot.
The first time he arrived at the balcony of Anxiaâs room, he saw someone he didnât know sneak in and was about to set up a bug. Richard approached the person without a sound, hit the intruderâs nape, and immediately caught his limp body soundlessly.
He could tell this personâs identity through his glasses, and it turned out that this person was one of the people working in this place.
Why would this personâs superior send someone to sneak into his guest room?
He thought Anxia would be held in the most minor place, like the detention room. But Anxia was treated as a guest here, so he didnât need to add a list of prey to be punished.
Richard carried an all-purpose key, which could open any lock in this world, and he could infiltrate any home and become a professional thief using this key.
However, Richard did not want to steal because he preferred to play on his computer keyboard and steal data far more valuable than physical objects.
As soon as his foot stepped into the room, someone attacked him suddenly, making him raise his guard and put all his strength into defending himself.
However, his glasses telling him that his current opponent was Anxia made him want to play a little game with his wife.
.....
Long story short, Anxia finally realized who he was and tried to open the cloth covering his face. Thatâs why Richard no longer attacked her when his wife climbed over his body and arms.
Plus, Anxia does look sexier when he looks at her from below. It made him want to tease his wife, yet he earned a harsh slap when he was off guard.
Well⦠he just lowered his guard and became careless when alone with his wife. He could also suddenly turn into a child-like and playful prankster to tease Anxia, who often showed an indifferent expression and a blush on her face.
Thatâs why he never expected that in this room, one more person was watching them. Why didnât Anxia tell him, and why didnât the X-sharp eye program on his glasses tell him?
Richard let his wife pull his hand and felt confused as they stood in front of a sizeable table next to the bed.
âElliot, come here. Heâs not a bad person.â
Richard was even more confused by hearing the gentle tone of his wife, as if Anxia was afraid that she would frighten anyone hiding behind this table.
As far as he could remember, Anxia only spoke this softly to Lori, their only daughter. Because of that, Richard couldnât understand why Anxia would be gentle towards someone other than Lori with such a motherly tone.
Not long after, Richard saw a tiny head sticking out, followed by a neck, body, and legs starting to come out of their hiding place with hesitation.
Instantly without prompting, the X-sharp eye program immediately investigated the childâs identity but came up empty. There was no data about this child, as if this boy was never born.
Who is this child? Why is his wife being gentle with other peopleâs children? The boyâs eyes had a light that rang a bell in his mind.
Not wanting to be bothered by the holographic line drawing on his glasses, Richard removed the X-sharp eye and glanced at the boy while narrowing his eyes.
There was no mistake, this kidâs eyes⦠he felt like he was looking at Anxia when he saw this kid. Not only his eyes, but his hair, the shape of his jawline, especially his sharp milky nose⦠everything was like his wife!
Richard looked at Anxia in confusion while Anxia looked at him with a big smile.
âRichie, he is Elliot, Loriâs twin brother⦠our son.â
In an instant, Richard felt the world around him stop when he heard the word âour sonâ come out of his wifeâs mouth.
He⦠has another child? And the child is a boy?? Richard pulled down his black cloth so that Elliot could see his face.
As soon as Elliot recognized his fatherâs face, his face beamed, and his feet were already moving towards his father, but he came to a halt.
He remembered his mother had fought fiercely with his father so he didnât know what to do. Elliot glanced at his mother, who was currently smiling gently at him.
âElliot dear, he is your father. You donât want to go to him?â
âBut⦠what if he doesnât want me?â
Anxia glanced at her husband, who was still frozen in place with no sign of approaching their son. Well⦠the first time Anxia heard the news that Elliot was her son, Anxia was also shocked and pushed her son away.
She already felt sorry for avoiding her sonâs approach, so she didnât want her husband to make the same mistake.
âRichie⦠Richie!â
âAh?â Only then did Richard wake up from his reverie and again glanced at the boy⦠his son, with a complicated look.
As the boy looked back at him with eyes filled with fear and disappointment, Richard felt like his heart was being gripped tightly. He tried to calm himself⦠no⦠he tried to hold back his sudden emotions not to frighten the boy... his son.
Is it... a dream?
Richard remembered that he still tested Loriâs DNA even though his daughter had a face similar to his. This kid⦠this kidâs look was closer to Anxiaâs and Loriâs age, so Richard felt confident that Elliot was indeed his son.
But⦠still⦠this news was too shocking and angered himâ¦. so and so angry that he wanted to burn this house down or arrest whoever had taken Elliot from his mother.
Richard wasnât too angry when Anxia didnât tell him that he had a child. Nor was he too upset about missing out on being a father in their daughterâs first three years.
But he was furious⦠and would never forgive that man for taking a child from his mother. He understands what itâs like to lose time with Lori in three years. And now⦠Anxia had to feel the same way about her other child, and not just three years⦠but five years!?
Richard felt he was barely holding back his anger but decided to quell it first. He knelt on one knee and stretched out his right hand.
He gave a friendly smile, dispelled his intimidating aura, and said, âElliot, come here. I want to see you.â
