Chapter 57
Jessamyn was surprised that she had a child. However, it wasn't a bad news for Jessamyn. A single woman with a child would be less attractive, judging from a man's perspective.
However, could the rumours in Vivianna's company be true? Augustine was seeing Vivianna?
If it was true, Augustine had such a bad taste. Vivianna must have concealed her secrets too well. Augustine must have been bewitched by her appearance and didn't know that she even had a child!
Jessamyn was even captivated by Augustine. If Vivianna had the slightest chance to win him over, she wouldn't have let it go. Jessamyn thought.
However, it was quite the reverse. Augustine was the one who had been rejected.
Jessamyn's wedding anniversary was at the end of the month. She had handed over her design draft to a foreign diamond company. The company had already stated that it would be sent back in ten days.
She was determined to show off that diamond ring, which represented love, and publish it on the
headlines of the newspapers. She wanted Vivianna to see how happy she was.
Xenophilius drove his car to Lambert Enterprise. Xenophilius received a call from his assistant on the way, "Hello, President Lambert. I have checked all the hotels above three-stars in the city, but I didn't find any news about Miss Carlewood."
Xenophilius's heart skipped a beat. Could it bethat she couldn't even afford a above-average hotel?
Because of the compassion Xenophilius had toward Vivianna, he subconsciously thought of her difficulty. His thinking changed in the blink of an eye. Last time, she was driving a ten-million-dollar sports car. Could it be that she was living in another man's home?
When Xenophilius thought of that, his handsome face couldn't help but tense. Vivianna was his ex- wife. Although he didn't touch her, there was still a wedding. She swore to love him for a lifetime. But then, she broke her vow and was going out with another man.
Such thought left him in sadness.
In fact, Xenophilius was feeling remorseful. He should have owned her when they were married. At least, he wouldn't have had regrets.
"President Lambert, do you still want continue with the investigation?"
"No." Xenophilius replied coldly.
Hanging up the phone, he was thinking of the encounter with Vivianna in the hotel. She was dressed in a white shirt and a black skirt, with her hair in a bun, looking attractive.
Over the years, he had seen too many women with heavy makeup. He was sick of it. Hence, meeting a woman as pristine and clean as Vivianna felt like a breath of fresh air, he was captivated.
Thinking about it, Xenophilius only felt more remorseful. However, he didn't think that if not for his betrayal, Vivianna wouldn't have become who she was.
Augustine got into the elevator from the parking lot while carrying Zeph. A tall man was carrying a handsome little boy, they posed an adorable scene.
Zeph was obedient. When he passed by the staff members, he would show a charming smile. That kind of smile wouldn't be seen on the president, so it was straight-out flattery to be able to see the handsome mini-master smile so brightly.
Augustine opened the door of his office and put Zeph on the sofa. He then asked him, "What would you like to eat? Go and find Auntie Yallop yourself."
"I'm not hungry, Daddy. Go ahead and do what you need to do. Just give me your iPad." "Why do you want an iPad?" "I want to learn more words, I realized that there are still a lot of words I can't read!" Zeph said with an eager expression.
Augustine smiled and praised, "Great. That's my son."
Ausgutine handed an iPad to Zeph. Zeph quietly sat on the sofa with an earpiece and started reading.
Augustine smiled. At that time, his phone rang. He picked it up and took a look. The name on it made him freeze and his face tensed. He picked it up and greeted, "Grandpa."
"Augustine! Bring the child back and show me." On the other end, there was a deep and powerful old man's voice, which carried a dignified tone.
Augustine's eyes darkened. It seemed that his grandfather had already found out about the child.
"Okay, I'll take him back to meet you later." Augustine answered in a low voice.
Master Giltstone stressed, "Only the child."
That meant that he didn't want to see his mother yet.
Augustine answered, "Okay, I'll only be bringing the child."
After hanging up the phone, Augustine looked at Zeph on the sofa, who was staring at the iPad and recognising words. He sighed inaudibly and walked to him. Zeph took off his earpiece and looked up at his daddy.
"Zeph, would you like to meet someone later?" "Who?" Zeph blinked his eyes and asked curiously.
Augustine gave a smile and replied, "Your great grandfather."
"Great grandfather? Is he my grandfather?" Zeph didn't know much about seniority.
"No, he is your grandfather's father, my grandfather." Augustine explained patiently.
"Wow! Great-grandpa is very old, isn't he?"
"He's almost 86." Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Zeph's eyes widened. "Is great grandfather... an old man with white beard?"
"You will like him. I think he will like you as well." Augustine had confidence that his grandfather would definitely like his lovely son.
"Yes! I want to see my great-grandfather."
At noon, Vivianna's work was meticulous. As soon as she started working, she forgot everything and devoted herself to it wholeheartedly. When she finished a sketch of the design draft and glanced at the time on the bottom right corner of the computer, she couldn't help but meddle with her messy hair on her forehead.
At 12 o'clock at noon, his son didn't call, meaning that he must have had lunch with Augustine.
However, she did not know that at that moment, her son was sitting in Augustine's car, heading to the palace.
The palace residence was located in a century-old house in the west. It was low-key with the majestic air of an emperor. Even the government had to bypass the possibility of obtaining planning permission in that area. They did not dare to step into that area. Many high-end villas were built around the vicinity instead.
Augustine casually drove into the palace. The housekeeper in his sixties had already been there with two servants to welcome them. When the door opened, Augustine stepped down. He was holding a small figure in his hand.
When the butler saw the child, he was shocked. That was definitely the child of Giltstone family.
He looked exactly the same as the young master when he was a child!
"Young Master, this way please." The housekeeper made a gesture respectfully.
Augustine was afraid that Zeph would be frightened, so he bent down and carried him in his arms. But Zeph was not afraid at all. He looked around eagerly, calmly resting in the strong arms of his father.
