Whenever his mother was mentioned, Chris inevitably felt distressed.Hugh noticed his nephew’s expression and realized he was troubled.He quickly said, “Dad, let’s move on. Chris coming back is a good thing. The people who are alive are always the most important.”“That’s right.” Ian nodded. He looked at Chris and said, “We are one family. The Jameson family is different from other families. There’s no scheming or deceit here. We are just one family, always. If anything comes up in the future, talk to your family.”In Cheria, at least around Impelia, there was hardly anything that could trouble the Jameson family.This was also the reason Chris returned at this particular time.Jessica returned from her call, and the atmosphere in the room was just right.Chris normally didn’t drink much, but his family persuaded him to drink quite a bit.That evening, when they returned to the Jameson family’s residence, he was completely drunk.The butler and Hugh helped him onto the bed.
After waiting for a while, Chris said, “No matter what, it’s good to be back. I plan to wait a few days before telling the family about the rest of the matters, and the fact that my uncle is still alive must be kept a secret. We can’t let Grandpa and Grandma live in constant worry.”Their daughter was already dead, and if their son was still alive and working in such a dangerous profession, they definitely wouldn’t be able to handle it.They would surely try everything to bring him back.This certainly was not what his uncle would have wanted.“Speaking of which, actually at last month’s banquet, Hugh—oh, Uncle Hugh—was there too, but you didn’t notice. At the time, I didn’t know he was your uncle either. We just exchanged a few words at the banquet, no other interaction.”All banquets were a trial for Chris.Most of the time, Francesca and Jessica handled external interactions.After greeting a few people, Chris would find a place to sit and rest, or he would stay with Nina and
She wasn’t that busy recently, most of it was just dealing with leftover issues.Blake’s matters were more difficult to handle, but fortunately, Indya was still around.“It’s fine. If you want to stay, we can stay for a day. You can come back often later, it’s not far anyway,” said Jessica.Chris nodded.Hugh said they had found the way back home.For Chris, home had actually always been here, he just hadn’t known about it before.He wanted to tell Simon about the current situation, but Simon had previously said not to inform the family that he was still alive.After giving it some thought, Chris realized he didn’t have Simon’s contact information either, so he let it go.“Jennifer and Simon also communicate online. No one knows Simon’s contact details, probably for safety reasons. But Simon surely knows that you have safely returned to the Jameson family.”After all, Simon had said before that as long as Chris returned, no one in the Jameson family would doubt his identity.
Rebecca stared at Jessica in a daze and then realized, “You... you are married to him? Holly is your mother-in-law?”“Yes.” Jessica nodded.“I’ve been married to Chris for five years. A few years ago when I visited your house, you always treated me like your granddaughter and said I resembled your daughter. Maybe it’s because of the couple resemblance.”“Good, good.” Rebecca held Chris tightly, afraid it was a dream. “I have a grandson... my daughter... my daughter left me a grandson.”Unexpectedly, Chris was acknowledged quite smoothly.Peter called all the members of the Jameson family back that very day.It turned out Peter had another brother, who had a son as well, making him Chris’s uncle.Chris spent the entire day going through the recognition process.He sat in the middle, surrounded by a group of relatives, all of whom were crying.Having seen families like the Felton family and the Phillips family, with their schemes, he never expected the Jameson family to be so pe
Peter finally caught his breath and managed to calm down, but his gaze could no longer leave Chris.There was no need for a paternity test.How could a parent not recognize their child?Chris resembled Holly so much that Peter knew at a glance he had to be a member of the Jameson family.“My dear child... your... your mother... how could you...”Seeing Peter speaking incoherently, Jessica smoothed his back with her hand.“Grandpa, take a moment. Have some water. We can take our time.”Peter then turned his attention back to Jessica and, after a long pause, asked, “Jessica, he is your husband, so Holly is your mother-in-law. You... you’ve been married for so many years, why didn’t you bring him earlier?”It wasn’t a reproach, only pure curiosity.Jessica said, “It’s my fault, Grandpa. In the first few years after I married Chris, I was busy with work and barely saw my mother-in-law. When my mother brought me to your house, I only glanced at the photos, and after that, when I ca
Jessica had already contacted the Jameson family, saying she would come to visit and that she would bring someone with her.When they knocked on the door, the butler was already waiting at the entrance.Seeing someone approaching from a distance, he hurried over to open the door.“Greetings, Ms. Wilder,” the butler greeted with a smile. “Sir Jameson is waiting for you.”As he spoke, Chris stepped out from behind Jessica.The butler had only glanced at him at first, but that single glance made him unable to look away.The butler stepped back in shock, his eyes fixed on Chris as if he had seen something terrifying.He pointed at Chris, stammering, “You... you are!”Jessica held Chris’s hand as they entered the house.“Where’s Grandpa Peter? This is the person I brought. Are Grandpa Peter and Grandma Rebecca home?”The butler regained his composure.After all, he had served Peter his entire life and had experienced many things, even after being startled, he could recover quickl
