Revenge of the Abandoned Son 148. Jasper Dominic
Kalix was left sitting alone while the homeowner, Jasper, went to the kitchen. No, not to make tea or coffee for the guest, but to prepare food for himself. Nevertheless, Kalix remained patient. He waited calmly and appeared quite relaxed.The room was not overly large, but it was not small either. For a single person, it was spacious enough, especially since there was not much furniture inside. There was only a small single sofa and a chair, with a small table littered with cigarette butts on it. Not far from there were some rather advanced-looking computer equipment in a room with a slightly ajar door.Kalix gazed at the room for a moment with a puzzled expression. Then he heard the system speaking in his mind."The computer in that room has been upgraded, you could say the computer system is more advanced than most computers nowadays.""Is Jasper really that skilled?" Kalix asked, curious.Even though technology had advanced, it was not easy to upgrade an informatics system. Especi

"Someone is investigating you."The system echoed in Kalix's mind, on the quiet and cold streets of the night. Kalix was not surprised by what the system said, he also knew who was currently investigating him.Ever since seeing the computer in Jasper's room and knowing the man's interest and ability in technology, Kalix had anticipated this problem. However, Jasper was not a fool and certainly not someone easily influenced by strangers.Even if he remained silent until this moment after the unfortunate incident that befell him, Jasper's main reason for not seeking revenge certainly was not due to the familial relationship between him and Julie. It might be because this was what Jasper wanted. To live freely without others' expectations or arrangements."That man is quite stubborn," Kalix commented on Jasper.The system responded with absolute agreement, not saying more or discussing Jasper further."So what are you going to do now?" the system asked.Kalix did not immediately give an

Go find him, do not keep me company here and get bored alone."Eugene felt a little embarrassed hearing Grace's teasing tone, she smiled thinly as if embarrassed by being exposed, but actually hiding small emotions in her heart. Whatever Mason was going to do, after what happened earlier this evening, it certainly was not good for Kalix. That's why Eugene felt worried."Mom, I'm going upstairs to find Kalix," Eugene said and quickly left after getting approval.Watching Eugene leave, Grace sighed and her emotions changed slightly.

She just didn't expect to meet that woman again after so long, even in such an unexpected situation.Meanwhile, Kalix was still stunned by what he saw.

"Lucas! Be careful!" The shout came from Eugene. Watching her son continue to run around in the middle of the grass field in front of their house sometimes made Eugene feel like she was on the verge of a sudden heart attack. How could she not? Her five-year-old son was very active and almost never wanted to sit still for more than a minute. Eugene could only laugh as she watched Lucas proudly show off his catch, a small insect-shaped ball with black and reddish-orange patterns. "Are you happy to get it?" his mother asked, answered by her son's enthusiastic nod. A blade of grass fell from Lucas's head. Five years had passed, and Eugene had proven herself capable of fulfilling her duties as a mother. Lucas was active and intelligent, inheriting his good looks from Kalix, but his personality, no one knew where he got it from. "Lucas," called Kalix, who had just come out of the house.

Then, news came from the doctor who checked Eugene's condition, and yes, the pregnancy news made everyone who heard it feel happy. Eugene felt incredulous at first, but then she felt happy. Meanwhile, Kalix was still trying to digest his wife's words. His breathing gradually calmed, but his eyes couldn't lie. "Oh, what did you say earlier?" Eugene glanced at Kalix to reassure him and laughed before answering, "I'm pregnant, Kalix. Pregnant with your child." After seeing her husband's expression, she chuckled softly—feeling amused by what she was seeing now. "You didn't expect that, did you?" At that moment, Kalix felt the heat of his anxiety dissipating, replaced by a happiness that was eve

"Eugene, are you alright?" Kalix's worried expression couldn't be hidden when he saw his wife looking pale. Eugene smiled gently. Actually, her stomach was quite upset in the morning, perhaps due to indigestion or eating something wrong. She emerged from the bathroom after vomiting her breakfast this morning. "I think I'm fine," Eugene said casually. "Shouldn't we go to the doctor just in case? I'll take you right now," Kalix suggested. Seeing how caring her husband was, her heart felt warm, but she had to refuse, "I'm okay. Besides, I already have plans with my friends today." Kalix sighed deeply, his gaze shifting to his wife's stomach. "I don't mean to stop you, but how can you go out on an empty stomach? You just vomited all your food." Actually, Eugene didn't feel very hungry, but considering the effort the man had put into preparing breakfast this morning, she felt guilty. "I'll try to eat again." It seemed Kalix didn't quite agree with Eugene's words. However, he also fel

Eugene asked gently as she approached the only child there.The little boy, Lucas, turned around, seeing the pretty sister who often came to take care of him and his friends in the same room."There's snow, it's beautiful," Lucas said with a sparkle in his eyes.
