âNo! Leonel is my son.
I raised him.
If heâs not my son, whose could he be?â Waylen countered.
Kennethâs face contorted with emotion.
Despite his malevolence, he shared a common trait with many men.
He was foolishly arrogant, despite having nothing much to offer.
Even though he had left his son and wife behind, he still wanted his son to take care of him when he was old.
He hesitated to sign the document.
Waylen extinguished his cigarette and smiled.
âItâs okay if you donât sign it! But consider whether youâll even live to see your trial.
â
Kenneth stared at Waylen.
He couldnât believe what he just heard.
Waylen looked cold and honorable, with a tiny smirk at the corner of his mouth.
As he leaned in, Waylenâs voice dropped to a whisper.
âLeonel is my son.
I wonât tolerate any stains on his reputation, especially from someone like you.
The world would be better off without a lowlife like you, donât you think?â
Kennethâs eyes widened in realization.
Slowly, it dawned on him that Waylen was dead serious.
Eventually, Kenneth signed his name with a trembling hand.
With that signature, Leonel ceased to be Kennethâs son.
Waylen collected the document and scrutinized it.
After a moment, he looked down and sneered.
He believed Kenneth to be a genuine jerk who was terrified of dying.
He was unable to hide his terror.
Waylen stood up and made his way out.
Kennethâs voice quivered as he asked, âDo you truly take him as your son?â
Waylen stopped and turned back.
âYou should ask Leonel who he truly considers his father in his heart.
â
Waylen believed he had the charm.
Waylen arrived back at home around 8 PM.
The aroma of dinner filled the air.
His wife, Rena, was in the kitchen, orchestrating the mealâs preparation with the servants.
The light in the corridor softly illuminated her features, highlighting her soft and gentle Look.
When she saw Waylen, Rena asked in a soft tone, âWhere have you been?
Everyoneâs been waiting for you for quite a while!â
Without waiting for his reply, she added, âYouâre always the one who wants everyone home, and now when theyâre all here, youâre the one whoâs missing!â
