âBut other than the photo not matching, everything else points to Second Uncle.â Hugo Clark said, âActually, thinking about it⦠Charles Amos does look more like Second Uncle.â
âCould there be a mistake in Charlesâ photo?â Calvin Stewart asked.
Kevin Clark stepped back a few steps and sat down on the chair behind him: âThe little girl has seen Second Brotherâs photo. If itâs Charlesâ father, she wouldnât keep quiet about it.â
After he finished speaking, the living room suddenly fell silent for a while.
Kevin Clarkâs eyes stared at one spot, constantly rubbing his fingertips.
After a while, Hugo Clark said: âWith todayâs technology, changing a personâs appearanceâ¦shouldnât be difficult.â
Although the photo doesnât match. Although they donât know why someone âreturns from the deadâ, why they donât return home, or why they change their appearance.
Butâ¦all the results point to Jack Amos being Finn Clark.
Charles Amosâ DNA test wouldnât lie.
The handwriting wouldnât lie.
âItâs Finn, itâs Finn, it must be Finn.â Natalie Wayne suddenly said, âItâs Finn!â
âMom, donât get too excited, calm down.â Theo Clark said.
âWhere is he? What happened to him? Why has Daisy been raising Charles?â Natalie Wayne looked at Kevin Clark.
Kevin Clarkâs lips moved slightly, and the hand by his side slowly clenched, white-knuckled with force. After a while, he said: âCharlesâ father passed away when he was one year old.â
Twenty-two knives, stabbed thirty-two timesâ¦
It was done by Edward Kirsten.
Kevin Clark controlled his emotions, lowered his gaze, and concealed the emotions in his eyes.
Natalie Wayne covered her mouth and began to cry quietly.
She had thought of this outcome, but it was still hard to hear.
Elina Clark let out a gentle breath, gently patting Natalie Wayneâs back: âItâs all right, madam. Charles is back with us. He is Finnâs blood.â
Natalie Wayne leaned on Elina Clarkâs shoulder.
Calvin Stewart and Hardy Clark also had red eyes.
The living room fell silent again, only the sound of Natalie Wayneâs quiet sobbing could be heard.
Kevin Clark, with his gaze downcast, said after a while: âNo one should tell the little girl, or tell Charles.â
Everyone looked at him.
Hugo Clark pursed his lips without saying a word. Theo Clark asked, âWhy?â
âJust donât tell them, pretend you donât know.â Kevin Clark finished speaking and stood up, not even looking at them, âI have other things to do, Iâll leave first.â
Everyone watched Kevin Clark leave without saying anything.
Finn Clarkâs departure had a great impact on Kevin Clark, even changing the course of his entire life.
Apart from Mr. & Mrs. Clark, the shock to Kevin Clark was probably the greatest.
Kevin Clark walked towards the entrance without looking back.
Just as he reached the entrance, Charles Amos was returning from the Court Music Academy, getting out of the car and walking towards the entrance.
âUncle Clark.â
Kevin Clark saw him and suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Charles Amos ran a few steps forward, looking into the courtyard: âYouâre back. Is mom back too?â
Kevin Clark looked at the top of his head for a moment, then suddenly crouched down and hugged Charles Amos.
Charles Amos was startled by the hug: âUncle Clark?â
Kevin Clark held him without saying a word.
Charles Amos, being held by him, felt his sadness, his big eyes turned and asked: âDid grandmother hit you?â
Kevin Clark still didnât say anything. He held Charles Amos for a while and then said: âGrandmotherâs emotions are a bit agitated right now, so whatever she says to you later, donât tell the little girl.â
âDid you make grandmother angry?â
Kevin Clark still didnât say anything. Charles Amos took his silence as confirmation. He paused and bravely said: âA father must pay his sonâs debt, so Iâll face the storm on your behalf.â
Kevin Clark laughed, ruffled his hair and stood up: âGo on, go face the storm.â
âYouâre leaving just like that? Leaving me to face it alone?â Charles Amos looked at him as if he was leaving.
âYes.â Kevin Clark gently pushed him, âGo on, this way it looks like we have a deep bond.â
After saying that, Kevin Clark left again without looking back.
Charles Amos watched his retreating figure, his head of small curls seeming to curl even more due to anger.
He couldnât bear such deep feelings.
After some hesitation, Charles went alone to face the storm.
As soon as he stepped into the living room, he shouted, âGrandpa, Grandma, Iâm home.â
When he entered the living room, he saw Theo Clarkâs family and greeted them one by one.
Then everyone looked at him.
Charles noticed them staring at him and swallowed hard. He forced himself to walk over to Natalie Wayne, saw the tears on her eyelashes, and handed her a tissue paper: âGrandma, whatâs wrong?â
Natalie, who had just calmed down a bit, couldnât help but cry again at the sound of Charles calling her âGrandmaâ.
She hugged Charles and began to sob.
It had been fifteen whole years since Edward Northâs sacrifice, fifteen long years.
The pain of a white-haired person sending off a black-haired one was unbearable, but they had to bear it.
They dared not even dream that they might see Edward Northâs child again.
Charles was startled and patted Natalie gently on the back, âGrandma, donât be sad anymore.â
âYes, grandma wonât be sad, not sad.â
Kevin Clark went straight to Daisy Zaneâs film set after leaving the Clark manor.
He set out from the manor, went to the Outer Ring, drove at a fast speed, and circled around the ring before heading to the film set.
When he arrived at the film set, Daisy Zane hadnât finished filming, so Kevin waited for her.
During a break in filming, Kevin took Daisy directly onto the nanny car.
Getting onto the car, he turned on the heating inside and held Daisyâs hand.
Wrapped in her down jacket, Daisy asked, âWhy did you suddenly come over?â
Kevin replied, âThere was nothing to do, so I came.â
Daisy stared at him for a while, then said, âThe Research Institute is magical, isnât it, Third Master? Busy with no time for breakfast in the morning, and then nothing to do in the afternoon.â
âItâs Thomas Firway reporting to you again.â
Daisy raised her eyebrows, âIf you scold him, heâll tell me too.â
Kevin took a light breath.
Daisy smiled, âCome on, whatâs up?â
âI missed you.â
When do you not miss me?â Daisy said, âKevin Clark, you didnât even wear a proper jacket when you came out.â
Kevin looked down at himself,
âDonât tell me itâs in the car,â Daisy said.
Kevin hesitated for a moment, then hugged her tightly, burying his face in her shoulder, and said in a muffled voice, âThere really is nothing. I just suddenly wanted to see you.â
And also to thank you in person.
But Iâm afraid youâd be suspicious if I said it, so I just said it silently in my heart.
Jack Amos is Edward North.
He dared not tell Daisy Zane.
Daisy had always thought she had harmed Jack.
He was afraid that if he told her, the little girl would feel guilty and that she owed him.
Little Girl was too sentimental, so he feared she would feel indebted to his family.
Daisy let him hold her and didnât ask any more questions when she saw that he was unwilling to talk about it.
She held him until Anisa Cooper came to find them, saying the director was urging them. Only then did Kevin release her.
âWill you go back or stay here?â Daisy asked.
âIâll stay here,â Kevin replied.
âMmm,â Daisy said, âWeâll finish in about two hours. You just stay here, itâs really cold outside.â
âAlright.â Kevin gave her a quick peck on the corner of her lips, âBe careful when filming.â
âMmm,â she replied.
