âYou donât have to worry about it. Iâve talked to him. Provided that Neil agrees, he can come over anytime and take Neil back.â
Jake was stunned, and he looked at Abalene in disbelief.
âMom, why didnât you discuss it with me before deciding?â
She looked at him coldly. âDiscuss what with you? Can you make a decision?â
He was at a loss for words.
Abalene appeared indifferent as she seriously said, âYouâve always been indecisive ever since you were a child. Thatâs why your father handed Remus Corporation over to your brother instead of both of you.â
At the mention of the past, Jakeâs face turned with embarrassment. He furrowed his brows and said, âMom, please stop. I donât want to talk about it.â
She lowered her gaze and did not bring up the subject again.
Half an hour later, Neil walked into the living room.
He frowned when he saw Jake and Abalene sitting on the couch solemnly. âDad, Grandma, what did you want to tell me?â
âHave a seat.â
After he sat next to Jake, Abalene turned to him and said, âNeil, youâre actually not Jake and Melanieâs son. Remember Ariel, your aunt who went missing when you were young? Sheâs your real mother.â
The moment she finished speaking, the living room became as silent as a graveyard.
âGrandma, thatâs not funny at all.â
Looking at Neilâs dour expression, Abalene sighed. âIâm telling the truth. Back then, your mother... Ariel left you at the mansionâs doorstep after giving birth. When I saw your pale face, I took you to the hospital.
âUnexpectedly, Jake and Melanieâs newborn son didnât make it. Later, he suggested replacing their son with you so that she wouldnât be heartbroken.
You wouldnât be labeled as illegitimate either...â
Neil remained silent, and his expression darkened significantly.
He was being told that Melanie and Jake were not his biological parents after more than twenty years. He found it hard to accept.
âGrandma, is this true?â
âWho is he?!â
âI can only tell you that heâs in Imperial City. If youâre willing to accept him as your father, Iâll ask him to come over.
Neilâs expression turned cold. âNo need. He clearly doesnât care about me since heâs never bothered to find me. I wonât acknowledge him as my father.â
Abalene frowned. âNeil, when he found out you were his son, he wanted to take you back, but I stopped him. If you want to meet himââ
âSure. By the way, could you find some time to talk to Melanie? It seems like sheâs seriously considering a divorce this time.â
Seeing how unhappy Jake was, Abalene nodded and promised, âIâll talk to her. Go and check on Neil.â
Neil drove away without a specific destination in mind.
He knew that Jake was following his car, but he was not in the mood to pay attention.
Eventually, he stopped in front of MY Corporation.
It was the end of the workday, and people were coming out of the building nonstop. However, Silvia was not among them.
Neil took out his phone. Even though he tried to stop himself, he ended up dialing the familiar number he had memorized.
He thought that she would not answer, but just as the call was about to disconnect, she picked up.
