Chapter 593: 593: Could it be a case of wrongly acknowledging the father?
Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!
The secrets of The Big Eight families were not known to them.
But the basic information that Adrian Zhekova and Morgan Zhekova were father and son was not missed by the Lanarn Training Ground.
So when they saw Morgan among the children, they werenât surprised at all.
Hence the ones surprised at the wedding were only those invited by Charlotte York.
They saw a stranger, Morgan, among several familiar children.
Someone asked, âWhose child is that? Iâve never seen him before.â
âI donât know. Whose family has a new child?â
âThat canât be, those who are married only have so many children, and that child is already so big, he couldnât be newly added.â
While they were talking, the Old Master Zhekova, Old Madam, Maverick Zhekova and Victoria Wheeler entered together.
The young ones all stood up out of respect for their elders.
After they greeted everyone, they went straight to Morgan.
Morgan saw them and quickly ran out from the crowd of children.
âGreat Grandfather, Great Grandmother!â Morgan called while running.
Since they were still a bit far away, he made sure to call out loud enough for them to hear.
Now, many people heard him.
Following the two elders were Maverick Zhekova and Victoria Wheeler.
Maverick Zhekova peeked his head out from behind his father, smiling amiably, âAnd us too?â
âGrandfather! Grandmother!â Morgan halted in front of the elders.
The kid seemed confused.
Because he didnât know whose arms he should jump into.
No matter who he decided to go to, the other three would certainly be jealous.
Who can blame them for wanting his adorable attention.
Being so cute and so lovable comes with its problems too!
Morgan held his forehead, slightly overwhelmed.
The Old Master was waiting for Morgan to run into his arms.
Who knew the child would actually stop.
âAhem!â the Old Master cleared his throat as a hint for Morgan.
It was time for him to jump into his arms!
The old man could handle it!
And many guests who didnât know the story were taken aback.
âWhat is that child calling the Old Master Zhekova and the Old Madam?â
âGreat Grandfather, Great Grandmother, did I hear that right?â
âYou heard right, he even called the Family Head Zhekova and the Head Mother as Grandfather and Grandmother.â
âAnd this child belongs to the Zhekova Family?â
âWho in the Zhekova family had a new child? I didnât hear about it.â
âOn the Old Masterâs side, thereâs only Adrian Zhekova⦠it couldnât be another family, considering the child is older.â
âAnd moreover, if it was from another family, he wouldnât call them Grandfather and Grandmother.â
People who didnât know the truth quietly speculated.
Morgan, responding to the Old Masterâs cue, felt even more uneasy.
Because the Old Madam was also eagerly watching him!
The child felt troubled and wanted to ask Christopher Smith for help.
Morgan was so hesitant that he didnât dare to meet the eyes of the Old Master and the Old Madam.
As his gaze shifted, he suddenly noticed Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke appeared at the entrance of the Banquet hall.
They were about to enter.
Like seeing his saviors, the boy shouted, âDaddy! Mommy!â
After calling out, the boy sprinted towards Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke.
The Old Master and Old Madam watched as a small figure flashed past before their eyes.
They followed the figure with their eyes.
The boy was like a ball, rolling towards his destination at lightning speed.
Adrian Zhekova was startled.
Since when had the boy been so enthusiastic about seeing him?
Meanwhile, the crowd who didnât know the truth froze in their tracks.
Some of them hadnât settled into their seats yet, given the number of guests at the event.
There were familiar friends and reputable strangers who they could get to know better.
Exchanging contacts and making more friends was always a good thing.
So, the venue was extraordinarily lively.
The guests were bustling about, moving amongst the crowd.
However, because of Morganâs shouts, the bustling stopped.
Regardless of whether they knew the truth, everyone quieted down.
They all stopped their movements, simply standing still.
Everyoneâs attention was on Morgan.
Those who knew the truth were relatively calm, just watching.
Their main concern was avoiding a collision with the little boy.
Due to the height difference, Morgan was quite small which created a blind spot for the adults.
It was easy to bump into him.
So, everyone stayed still.
But those who didnât know the truth were wide-eyed in amazement.
Who was this boy calling Daddy?
Looking at the direction the boy was running in, wasnât that Adrian Zhekova?
Could he really be Adrian Zhekovaâs son!
Where did Adrian get such a grown son!
And where was the childâs mother?
Just now, it seemed the boy was also calling for his mommy.
The crowd couldnât help but set their sights on Cindy Clarke.
Because at this moment, she was standing right next to Adrian Zhekova.
Moreover, they were holding hands.
The mommy that the boy mentioned, was it this lady next to Adrian?
Not only the unknowing guests.
Even the people of The Big Eight families and the Lanarn Training Ground were curiously looking at Cindy Clarke.
Because many of them had not met Cindy Clarke.
The people from Lanarn Training Ground had seen her photo.
But a photo canât compare to a real person.
All at once, everyone in the room fell silent.
Adrian Zhekova noticed this, but he didnât mind.
Cindy Clarke also noticed.
There were many guests here today, such a big banquet hall, such a grand scene.
Normally, Cindy wouldnât be uncomfortable.
But today was different.
Today, she officially appeared as Adrianâs wife.
This was the first time she appeared at a public event as Adrianâs wife, daughter-in-law of the Zhekova family.
She couldnât disgrace Adrian.
So many people were watching!
And as Adrian said, many people in the Zhekova family still had their eye on the position Adrian was going to inherit.
Even at this wedding, although those people were not present, they would definitely still learn about the event.
Therefore, even though they hadnât met, Cindy couldnât let anyone find a fault.
Right now, though, Cindy was focusing on Morgan who was running towards her.
Morgan was focused on heading towards Adrian and Cindy, not noticing the sudden silence in the air.
Just before he reached them, he slowed down a bit.
He was debating in his mind about who he should hug, Adrian or Cindy.
But this time, he wasnât as conflicted as before.
Morgan quickly made a decision.
âDaddy!â Calling out as if they were family, Morgan directly hugged Adrianâs leg.
Adrian Zhekova: ââ¦â
People who didnât know the truth looked at Adrianâs reaction and thought it didnât look like he was seeing his son at all.
They wondered, could this child be wrongly calling someone Daddy?
