The scene felt so surreal it was almost unbelievable.

Aiden lifted his free hand and rubbed his eyes, doubting his vision. After focusing again, his pupils widened in shock, and he forgot the rest of what he intended to say.

Both Josiah and Lysander heard him but were too preoccupied to respond immediately. Only when Aurora had drunk half the bottle and smiled contentedly did they look over at him together.

Lysander, having no particular opinion of Aiden, gave a slight nod as a greeting and then sat back down.

Carefully holding the baby, Josiah said in his usual tone, “Sit down, and let’s talk.”

Aiden silently took a seat across from them, glancing back and forth between Josiah and the baby, his eyes filled with unspoken questions. He looked like he was about to blurt out, “When did you two have a baby?”

Seeing his dazed expression, Josiah didn’t rush to explain. Instead, he asked, “Did you bring the stuff?”

His tone was noticeably softer because of the baby in his arms.

“Yes, I did.” Aiden quickly placed the brown document bag on the table and pushed it toward Josiah and Lysander. “Time was tight, so I gathered everything I could find and brought it here. I hope it helps.”

While speaking, he continued to stare at Aurora, trying to discern who were her parents from her features.

Thanks,” Josiah said. He gently lifted Aurora’s bib and wiped her mouth. After that, he glanced at the paper bag and added, “Give it to Lysander.”

Still somewhat dazed, Aiden pushed the bag toward Lysander. His confusion had lessened, but now he seemed unsure of how to address Lysander. The bag’s contents looked like a hot potato, hard to hold and even harder to let go.

“Um… this is for you,” he said.

Lysander asked, “May I know what this is?”

Aiden sighed in relief and quickly explained, “it is for you. I am just the delivery guy. These are documents Mr. Guerra asked Ms. Collins to compile. They’re from projects he handled while overseeing Guerra Group.

The words were spoken casually, but Lysander was momentarily taken aback upon hearing them. Given that these documents likely contained sensitive business information, she didn’t expect Josiah to share such important materials with her.

Before coming here, Aiden thought that Josiah wanted to see these documents, and he didn’t know Lysander was there. Seeing that slie was confused, he added, “Some of the older projects were hard to compile, so these are just recent ones from the past few months. Ms. Collins is still working on the rest.

“Thank you, and please extend my gratitude to Ms. Collins as well.”

“You should also thank Josiah. Besides the documents, he had me find videos and meeting records from past summits in Seaview. They’re not exhaustive, but they’re the most comprehensive available.”

Genuinely interested in the contents, she opened the document bag and began reading through the documents.

The documents in the bag were meticulously sorted. They were marked with different colored clips and sticky notes indicating the years. At a glance, everything was crystal clear and extremely organized.

“Josiah. This place has a great environment,” Aiden commented.

Josiah didn’t deny it. “Yes, we put a lot of thought into choosing this location. Feel free to visit anytime. The penthouse suite with the scenic view is booked, but there are still a few first–class guest rooms available.”

Aiden waved his hand. “Maybe next time. I have other commitments tonight and can’t stay long.

After saying this, he sat silently, watching Josiah and the baby. If he didn’t restrain himself, he would have stared at Lysander as well.

Josiah seemed oblivious to Aiden’s awkwardness and continued, “Okay, I won’t keep you

then.”

Aiden looked a bit disappointed. “Josiah, this child…

“What about her?” Josiah turned with the baby. “Isn’t she adorable?”

“Adorable, indeed… Is it a boy or a girl?”

“A girl.” Josiah replied, his gaze full of affection. “Do you want to hold her?”

Aiden almost backed away. “No, no, I am too clumsy. I might hurt her.”

Even if time can change a person, isn’t this pace and progress a bit too fast? He went to Apex City and came back with

a child?

He glanced around but saw no one else,

It couldn’t possibly be that they’ve stolen someone else’s child…

“Josiah.”

“What’s wrong?

“Is there anything else you need me to do?”

Josiah looked at Lysander. “Do you need anything else? I can have Ms. Collins compile it and send it over.”

Lysander was still engrossed in the documents in her hand. Upon hearing the question, she shook her head. “Not for now.”

Josiah’s expression remained unchanged, but his eyes visibly brightened. “Okay, let me know if you need. anything.”

As they exchanged a few more words, the atmosphere lightened.

Aurora swiveled her neck. Though she didn’t quite understand what was going on, she still joined in the laughter. Her grape–like eyes curved into crescents, mirroring her joy. In the process, she clung onto the large hand of Insiah, who was protecting her. indicar a close bond between them.

After observing for a lengthy period, Aiden finally found the opportunity to speak once the two of them fell silent. “Josiah, this child seems to bear a striking resemblance to you,” he commented.

Josiah gave him a look. “If you can’t say anything sensible, don’t speak. it is a problem if she looks like me.”

“Oh, so she’s not yours? What a relief….

“Of course not. Who would I have a child with?”

Aiden ran his fingers through his hair, stealing a glance at Lysander. Seeing her engrossed in reviewing the documents, he couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

Josiah, you have a long way to go in your quest for love…

“But Josiah, this child is really beautiful.”

Upon hearing his compliments, Aurora lifted her little face towards him and gifted him with a smile. Her rosy cheeks and adorable demeanor were simply irresistible.

Aiden waved at her. “Hello.”

Aurora responded with a delighted “Ooh!”

Aiden was astonished. “She understands!”

The amusement dancing in Josiah’s eyes was impossible to hide. “Enough. Speak your mind. There is no weed to keep beating around the bush.”
