Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

At this moment, seeing Adrian Zhekova holding Morgan Clarke, Sheldon Rowland was as shocked as if he had been struck by lightning.
Finally, he figured out who Morgan Clarke resembled.
He was simply a mini-version of Adrian Zhekova, as if carved from the same mold!
But looking at Adrian Zhekova, it seemed that he hadnât noticed it yet.
Itâs true, being used to looking at himself in the mirror every day, he might not notice it easily.
Sheldon Rowland hurriedly said to Cindy Clarke, âYou can sign up for the major competition directly through the official website. Since youâre here, just use my computer to register.â
âThat would be too much of a bother. We will just register ourselves when we get home,â Cindy replied embarrassingly.
âNo problem, you can register here, and Iâll approve it for you directly,â Sheldon Rowland said with a smile.
He didnât care that he was abusing his power right in front of Adrian Zhekova.
Just think, who is he doing it for anyway?!
For Adrian Zhekova!
Seeing how similar Morgan Zhekova looked to Adrian, Sheldon secretly felt something was off.
âItâs a bother for you to work,â Cindy said modestly.
âNo problem, itâs lunch break now, Iâm not working anyway,â Sheldon replied.
During lunch break, he could do whatever he wanted, and Adrian couldnât control him.
âHmph,â Adrian Zhekova sneered but didnât say anything further.
âThank you, Uncle!â Sweet-talking Morgan then opened his arms and reached out towards Sheldon Rowland.
Adrian Zhekova thought this little brat had no loyalty, just goes to whoever shows him kindness like a mother!
Ignoring Morganâs enthusiasm towards Sheldon, Adrian Zhekova carried him away.
With his small face in his hands, Morgan blissfully asked Adrian, âUncle, are you jealous? Donât worry, youâre still my favorite.â âFlattery!â Adrian scorned him.
But his hands couldnât help but hold Morgan tighter. Seeing this, Cindy quickly followed them.
Why is he still carrying her son away?!
Little did they know, the surrounding employees were already stunned. âWhat⦠whatâs the relationship between the child and the CEO?â
âHe looks so much like the CEO, he wouldnât be⦠the CEOâs illegitimate child, would he?â
âShush! You dare to say that! But they do look really alikeâ¦â
âI just heard him call the CEO Uncle. Is he the CEOâs nephew?â
âImpossible, the CEOâs brother is still single, where would he have a child.â
âIt could be the CEOâs brotherâs childâ¦â
Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke, of course, were unaware of these speculations.
Once they entered the elevator, Sheldon Rowland casually asked, âI always see you with the child, but Iâve never seen your husband.â
Feeling awkward, Cindy forced a smile and said, âIâm single.â
Sheldon really wanted to ask her if she was divorced or pregnant before marriage?
But he remembered they only met twice, so it wouldnât be appropriate to ask so directly.
Sheldon Rowland had his own office, but he spent most of his time at an open work desk outside Adrian Zhekovaâs office.
To avoid gossip and rumors, Sheldon brought Cindy and Morgan to his office instead.
âIs there anything specific you want to eat for lunch? Iâm going to order some lunch for the CEO too. Heâs having a simple lunch because we arrived a bit late,â Sheldon said to Cindy.
âWeâre sorry for the trouble, we will leave after registering, so you donât have to order for us,â Cindy hurriedly declined. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âItâs fine, the company will cover the expense, so donât worry,â Sheldon said and glanced over his shoulder at the door behind him, thankfully Adrian Zhekova wasnât around.
Finally, Cindy couldnât refuse any longer, so she agreed to have the same lunch as Adrian Zhekova and Sheldon Rowland..
