Chapter 499 Leo was totally gobsmacked.
He never figured the big boss would care so much about a kid from God knows where.
But he didnât press on it.
The next day, Jared was up at the crack of dawn and headed to Nocturneâs room.
Sure enough, the kid was out like a light.
Jared stood by the bed, staring at that little face fast asleep.
He felt something, like a feather brushing gently against his heart.
He had no idea where this weird feeling was coming from.
He just looked at the kid, feeling a wave of warmth.
Without realizing it, he was reminded of his own kid.
He spent four crazy years searching everywhere possible, but he wasnât even sure if his kid was still alive.
If his kid was born, heâd be about the same age as Nocturne.
Jared didnât dare to think any further.
He swallowed down his emotions, and scooped up the sleeping kid.
When Jared walked into the company, the kid was snoozing on his shoulder.
This was the overseas headquarters of the Tim Group.
Over the years, the Tim Group has built up quite a portfolio here.
Although Jafed wasnât around here often, everyone in the company knew their CEO well.
Even on a global scale, Jared was the name on everybodyâs lips.
So, every time he came, everyone was on their toes.
When Jared walked into the building, he turned quite a few heads.
But this time, it was different.
The boss actually brought a little kid with him.
The kid was asleep on his shoulder, looking so peaceful.
Holy cow, the boss already has a kid!
Leo was trailing behind Jared, glancing at the disappointed faces of those office ladies who were all geared up for a âchanceâ
encounter with Jared.
â
He thought to himself, a lot of dreams are gonna be crushed today.
Selina was the head of marketing, a real people person. She was originally a key player in the domestic market.
After expanding into the international market, she was transferred here.
When she saw Jared with a kid, she was both shocked and disappointed.
She and Jared shared an elevator ride and exchanged greetings.
When they got out of the elevator, Selina purposely slowed her steps, grabbed Leo, and asked, âSince when does the boss have such a big kid?â
Leo just chuckled, âWhat makes you think thatâs his kid?â
âThe childâs face looks exactly like bossâs. If heâs not his kid, whose kid could he be?â
Selina, both disappointed and curious, asked, âWhy didnât he make this public? The boss isnât engaged yet, is the kid his and his fiancéeâs, or is it a love child?â
Selina leaned in and asked, âCome on, spill the beans, is that the bossâs love child? Whoâs the mother? Is it that actress Sharon from the rumors?â
Over the years, the grapevine had plenty to say about Jared.
Everybody knew Jared was once married.
His exâwife was once the toast of the entertainment industry.
Later, due to the Whitfield family scandal, Jared divorced her.
After the divorce, his exâwife went off the radar.
Over the years, Jaredâs life was always full of juicy gossip.
Some said he had a thing going on with the two halfâsisters from the Thomas family, some said he was backing the current hot star, Sharon.
Some even suggested he still had a thing for the superstar, Mamie.
Despite all the rumors, Jared remained tightâlipped about his personal life.
The media could only stoke the publicâs interest with bits of insignificant information.
Until recently, Alyssa accidentally let slip in an interview about Jaredâs upcoming engagement.
