Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Jasmine Hudson spoke boldly, “I won’t accuse someone of a crime that hasn’t happened yet. If Cindy does end up utilizing Adrian’s power, causing the competition to be unfair, I’ll be powerless in the racecourse, but off the racecourse, I won’t let her go.”

So, what Jasmine Hudson meant was, she didn’t need Cindy to withdraw.

Aiden Huxley stated, “I do possess that much generosity.”

Gladys Joy beamed, “If Cindy really cheated, Pingla Academy’s students will speak up together, definitely stronger than Zoe Silverstone and Iris Doone. But before that, I trust Cindy.”

Although Pingla Academy is part of Pingla Group.

Most of the time, the students don’t really care about Pingla Group’s matters.

Should all students make a move together, Pingla Group might struggle to control the situation.

Everyone had made their stance clear.

The relationship between Cindy and Adrian didn’t influence or pressurize them.

Though Jasmine Hudson and others did mention that they wouldn’t let it slide if the competition ended up being unfair.

However, it was just a warning, mere words.

They actually weren’t the least bit worried about Cindy resorting to such tactics.

At that moment, the door to the lounge was suddenly opened.

They had just heard some explosive news and were still tense.

Upon hearing the noise of the door, they all nervously looked over.

Adrian Zhekova walked in with Morgan.

“Cindy!” Morgan saw Cindy and immediately let go of Adrian’s hand and pounced towards her.

The little one stretched out his arms, ready to give Cindy a massive hug.

Just as his feet left the ground, he was caught by the back of his collar and lifted up off the ground.

Without even looking, Morgan knew who had done it.

“Dad!” Morgan flapped his hands and feet like a little turtle, struggling exasperatingly.

“Gently,” Adrian Zhekova said disdainfully.

Only then did he release Morgan into Cindy’s arms.

“Cindy, are you tired?” Morgan held Cindy’s slender waist, resting his chin on her soft belly as he asked.

Cindy gently ruffled his hair, “A little, yes.”

Hearing that, Morgan immediately got off Cindy, “Then I won’t ask you to hold me. Great Grandfather said I’ve grown heavier.”

“You’re growing, so of course you’re getting heavier by the day.” Cindy said with a chuckle.

And also, growing taller every day.

Since they see him all the time, it’s hard to notice.

However, Adrian Zhekova marked a growth chart on the wall in Morgan’s bedroom.

Every now and then, he’d measure Morgan’s height

And the changes would be marked on the chart.

“How come you guys are here?” Cindy looked at Morgan and then at Adrian Zhekova.

Adrian walked over and replied, “Seeing as there was no one here, we’ve come to check and also to pick you up.”

People like Leon Hernandez were dumbfounded.

Even Ava Brown and Yellen Brooks, who had seen them during the competition, were astounded too,

Because they hadn’t seen Morgan back then!

Now, having seen him,

Everyone was crowding around Cindy and Adrian Zhekova, gawking in astonishment, their open mouths large enough to fit an egg.

Right when everyone’s eyes were on Morgan,

Just so coincidentally, Adrian Zhekova and Morgan turned to look at the crowd together.

The father and son duo had very similar faces. Despite Morgan’s face still being cherubic,

His facial features were very similar to Adrian’s.

Especially their eyes. As they looked over together, it was almost surreal

Under everyone’s astonished gaze, young Morgan shyly gave a small smile and said, “All of you are staring at me like this, it’s making me shy!”

Everyone came back to reality.

They had heard the little one call Adrian Zhekova ‘Dad’, just a few moments ago.

So, everyone’s gaze shifted from Morgan’s face to Adrian’s, then back to Morgan’s and finally at Cindy’s.

What was going on?

Cindy then explained, “This is my son, Morgan.”

“Hello, Uncles and Aunts,” Morgan gave a soft greeting.

“Hello, hello.” Everyone greeted Morgan back, unable to keep their expressions in check.

Adrian reminded him, “Introduce yourself properly.”

“Oh.” Morgan obediently responded, “My full name is Morgan Zhekova.”

Adrian’s lips curled up in satisfaction.

As it turned out, this was the first time Morgan had formally introduced himself with his new name.

“Hello, hello.” They responded to Morgan all at once.

“We have to go now, our elders are waiting for us outside.” Adrian said.

“Alright, alright.” Everyone was at a loss for words.

Adrian Zhekova and Cindy left with Morgan first.

However, everyone remained silent, not daring to speak.

It was only after waiting for about ten minutes, thinking that they must have gone far,

They finally let out a sigh of relief.

“What’s the deal? They’re engaged, and they even have a child together?” Leon Hernandez asked.

“Could Morgan be Adrian’s blood son?” Daniel Vahn asked quietly.

“Definitely, they look so alike, you can’t deny it.” Aiden Huxley responded.

Cynthia Florine asked, with eyes sparkling at the prospect of gossip, “Then, is Cindy his step-mom?”

“Ahem.” Yellen Brooks raised her hand, “I watched Cindy’s cooking videos too, seems like she’s always been a single mom. She has been since the start of her videos, all her fans know.”

“Although her child has never appeared on camera, it should be Morgan.” Yellen Brooks added.

“So she and Adrian have a child but are not married?” Yannick O’Brian asked, intrigued.

“We can’t say that the Zhekova elders don’t approve, because Adrian just mentioned that the elders are waiting outside.” Gladys Joy analyzed, “Besides, during these three competitions, the first one was attended by Mrs. Zhekova and the Old Madam together. After that, the entire Zhekova family attended together, including the Old Master and Maverick Zhekova.”

“When they first came, everyone was surprised, we’ve never seen them attend the previous competitions. Even Adrian didn’t come, but this time, the Zhekova family members attended every single event, including the elders.”

“We initially found it weird but now that we see it, they must have come to see Cindy.” Gladys Joy scratched her chin in thought.

“This eliminates the possibility that they’re not married because the Zhekova elders don’t approve.” Bartholomew Bailey stroked his chin.

They couldn’t figure out the reason why, it was frustrating.

“Alright, alright.” Jasmine waved her hand dismissively, “There’s no point in pondering this. Whether Cindy and Adrian are getting married because of the kid, or who the kid belongs to, it’s none of our business. It’s all just speculation. Can our speculations change their relationships anyway?”
