She quickly grabbed Noah’s arm, her eyes bloodshot with anger. She glared at him and yelled,” Noah, enough! Are you crazy?”
Noah stopped fighting and looked at River in rage. His face was bleeding.
“Why are you protecting him? Is it because he is Tyler and Liora’s father?”
River was stunned by his remark.
Noah appeared to be in agony when he saw River’s reaction.
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling quilty because I know your secret?”
River looked at him in disbelief, “Noah, do you even know what you’re talking about?”
Noah wiped away the blood on his lips, and his expression turned cold. “One of you is my friend, while the other is the woman I’ve been searching for frantically for five years!”
Noah sneered, his bloodshot eyes revealing a tinge of sorrow.
“Very well. Both of you did a good job!” He took a step back and walked out of the villa with a tense expression
River felt suffocated as she gazed after his lonely figure.
Reuben heaved a sigh. “Ms. Healy, Mr. De Marco has endured a lot of pain in these five years.
He went after Noah after saying that
River lowered her gaze to hide her sadness. ‘He is still the same. He is so fixated on the misunderstanding that he won’t give me any chance to explain myself.‘
“River”
Neil’s face twisted in pain as he slowly sat up from the ground, clutching his chest.
River pulled herself together, sniffed, and helped Neil up. “I’ll help to clean up your wounds.
River helped Neil to the sofa “River, it’s right for you not to get back with him. He’s too wild.”
River did not utter a word. She found the first–aid kit and sat next to Neil to help him clean up his wounds.
Looking at River’s pale face, Neil felt the pain in his heart intensify more than his wounds.
“River-”
* “Don’t speak!” River interrupted him rigidly.
He kept quiet and waited for River to dress his wounds.
River finished dressing his wounds and said, “Let’s just leave the misunderstanding of the children the way it is.”
Neil smiled bitterly. “I didn’t manage to explain to the madman. However, I can use the incident of Noah picking a fight as the excuse to take Ty and Lia back
“Leave it be. Don’t rush it. The more we want the children back, the more suspicious they will become.”
River remained composed. She had carefully considered everything while coming here. She realized that acting out of panic would make her seem like she had done something wrong.
Her main concern was her kids‘ safety. She believed Draco wouldn’t harm them because he desired them greatly.
Also, she didn’t need to stress about Draco discovering the truth, especially since Noah couldn’t uncover anything.
Unless Draco could bring the doctor and medical tools to perform the test at home.
Neil said. “Things will eventually come to light. River, are you really not planning on telling him?
Perhaps he won’t fight for the children’s custody after he finds out?”
“I won’t make that assumption! Noah will try to get close to the children when he finds out, and
Mr. De Marco Sr. will notice sooner or later too!
“Moreover, even if Noah were to not fight for custody, it doesn’t mean Mr. De Marco Sr. won’t!”
Neil heaved a sigh. “Frankly, it’s not fair to hide this from him. If I were in his shoes, I would be angry too.”
River said, “Is it fair for me then? Don’t forget how I waited for him to do something in prison.
but I gave up after hearing his remark back then. My three children and I would already be dead if not for you.”
Neil said, “River, these grievances can actually be resolved because he saved you thrice.”
“I’m grateful for that. However, I can’t forget how he left me behind in peril because he believed in another woman.
Neil fell silent because he knew his sister was telling nothing but the truth.
Meanwhile, at De Marco Residence.
Liora lay in Tyler’s arms, sobbing endlessly.
On the contrary, Tyler was so calm that he did not look like a five–year–old.
Draco was pleasantly surprised by Tyler’s reaction and decided he would keep and train Tyler if he were Noah’s son.
The child will surely become a powerful person when he grows up!‘ he thought.
Draco could not conceal his fondness for Tyler. “Tell me, boy. Who is your father?”
Tyler soothed Liora’s back and looked at Draco provocatively “I have the right to refuse to answer your questions. Also, you may look into it if you want to know so badly.”
“Whoa, Bernard. Look at the child. He speaks boldly and is quite courageous, huh?”
Draco interacted with the butler, Bernard Stone, in excitement
Bernard answered, “You’re right, sir. He is totally a copy of Master Noah.”
Tyler scoffed and thought about how he could possibly be a copy of Noah when he loved his mother so much.
Draco was delighted. “Call me Grandpa, and I’ll give you money, okay?”
Tyler raised an eyebrow. “Ah? How much will you give me?‘
“You can have as much as you want!” Draco said.
Tyler’s eyes glistened with slyness. “Alright then. Let’s calculate my worth. My mother’s company is worth 7,000,000,000 dollars, and you assumed that my father is Noah
“According to my knowledge, his net worth has already reached an immeasurable level. As their son, shouldn’t you give me billions of money based on my calculation? You will be regarded as stingy if you give any less than that.”
Draco was dumbfounded. It was apparent he did not expect Tyler to calculate in that manner.
‘He knows how to calculate his net worth with his parents‘ financial resources at such a young age. He must be a business genius!‘ he thought.
Draco said, “Everything of the De Marcos will be yours if you are my grandson!”
Tyler smirked “The statement has come full circle if that is the case. Why did you claim to let me decide the amount of money earlier then? Don’t embarrass yourself if you can’t afford to pay.”
Liora suddenly raised her flushed face and glared at Draco. “He’s right! I’m embarrassed for you!”
Draco did not mind being embarrassed because he was too pleased with these children’s intelligence.
“If I can’t bear the embarrassment, how can I possibly be where I am today?”
“Ah, some people have no shame, right?” Tyler mocked.
Draco’s expression turned solemn upon hearing that, but he chose to put up to keep his smart grandson.
Draco looked at Bernard and said, “Check when the equipment will arrive. I’m waiting for a verification report!”
Bernard answered, “It will be here soon.
In the afternoon, blood was drawn from Tyler and Liora for a DNA test once the testing equipment arrived.
The report would be available in at least two days.
Tyler pondered how to address this quickly. While he wasn’t skilled at modifying the report, that didn’t mean Axel couldn’t do it.
Tyler gave some instructions to Liora.
Liora’s eyes widened in shock. “Will that work, Tyler?”
Tyler sipped his milk slowly. “You’ve underestimated your ability to throw a tantrum.”
Liora pouted. “Why does this statement sound off?”
Tyler said, “If you want to leave here quickly, do as I said. Don’t forget that Mommy is very worried.
Liora immediately perked up, patted her chest, and said, “Okay! Leave it to me!”
Liora behaved differently during dinner by joining Tyler and Draco to eat without fussing.
Draco was puzzled by Liora’s change in attitude.
“Are you tired from crying, Lia?” Draco asked caringly.
Liora cocked her head at Draco. “Yes, I’m tired of crying, but I can’t promise I won’t cry again.”
Draco was stunned. “What do you mean?”
Liora said, ‘I will cry if Axel is not coming. I won’t cry if Axel is here to play with me.”
Liora inserted Tyler’s instruction into her conversation and emphasized it.
Draco said, “That’s all? You just want Axel to come to play with you?”
Liora said, “Yes, I like Axel.”
Draco checked the time and said, “It might be too late for him to come.”
Liora immediately pouted, and her eyes welled up with tears I haven’t even called him, yet you.
claim he’s not coming!”
Draco had a headache from Liora’s crying episode that lasted the whole afternoon. He hastily comforted her when he noticed that she was about to cry.
“Be good, child. Don’t cry. I’ll make the call, okay?” Draco coaxed patiently.
Draco was delighted there was a granddaughter in the De Marcos.
Liora held back her emotions. “Call then. Call Axel now! I’m going to cry on your bed if he doesn’t come!”
Draco didn’t want Liora to cry in his room, so he quickly grabbed his phone to call Axel. He was really afraid of Liora’s tears.
Axel was getting ready for dinner with Noah when he received Draco’s call. He was quite surprised. that Draco was calling him. “Hello, Grandpa.”
Draco went straight to the point, “Axel, will you please come to my place? Tyler and Liora are here.
