Semua Bab After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control!: Bab 211 - Bab 220

“Oh, okay, Aunt,” Alex replied obediently, handing the phone back to Justin. Although Alex didn’t understand why his aunt didn’t come over to thank them—something he found quite impolite—he knew he couldn’t afford to be rude himself. With a polite smile, he sincerely said, “Thank you, Mr. Yates and Mr. White. My aunt is waiting for me over there, so I’ll head back now.”Justin frowned, his concern evident. What kind of parent or guardian lets a child wander off and doesn’t even come to fetch them? Letting the kid walk back alone felt irresponsible.“We’ll walk you over,” he said firmly, unwilling to let the child go by himself.Alex waved his hand. “It’s fine, Mr. Yates. It’s really close! I’ll call you when I get home, okay?” A glimmer of mischief flashed in Alex’s big, sparkling eyes. Now that he had Mr. Yates’s phone number, staying in touch wouldn’t be a problem. “Alright, but be careful. We’ll watch you until you’re safe.”“Got it!” Alex chirped, jogging to the corner be

Haley slumped into the front passenger seat, exhaustion etched on her face. Helen started the car and handed her a coffee. “Here, sis, I got you a coffee. Take a sip to perk up.”“Alex, hand the coffee to your mom,” Helen instructed.“Okay,” Alex replied, carefully passing the coffee from the back seat. “Thanks, Alex,” Haley said with a tired smile, taking the cup from him.Lately, her time had been consumed by preparations for the art exhibition, leaving little room to spend with her children. The family had stepped in to help. Alex stayed with Helen, while Chase spent time with Wilfred. They were now on their way to pick up Chase and Wilfred. Tonight, Evelyn had booked a table at a restaurant to celebrate Haley’s upcoming art show, wishing her success in advance. Over the past five years, Haley’s life had been smooth and fulfilling, free of worries and full of support.In Wilfred’s office, he was wrapping up his work while Chase sat at a small desk nearby, studying business m

Justin pushed open the private dining room door, carrying Alex in his arms. The reactions around the table were varied. The female business partner, in particular, looked utterly shocked. Spotting Alex was as if she had seen someone incredibly influential. It hadn’t crossed her mind that they might know the Walker family.Zac was momentarily surprised to see Justin walk in with a child, but the moment he recognized Alex, it all made sense. His tone turned casual as he remarked, “How’d you run into Alex?”He stood, giving up his seat to make room for them.Justin settled into his seat, placing Alex on his lap rather than letting him sit separately. Alex didn’t mind at all. He was quite content to stay where he was. Noticing Alex might be hungry, Justin picked up a fork and began offering him small bites of food. He even instructed the server to bring a fresh set of utensils for Alex. Once Alex was taken care of, Justin turned to Zac and responded, “I bumped into him while I was o

“Alex, didn’t I tell you not to interact with those two men anymore?” Helen scolded as she led him back to the private dining room. Alex tilted his head up at her, wide-eyed with innocence. “Aunt Helen, you only said not to bring them to the corner to find you. You didn’t say I couldn’t meet them again.” Helen felt her words catch in her throat, momentarily stunned. She huffed in frustration and amended, “Well, I’m saying it now. From now on, don’t meet with those two men again. Got it? If you see them, stay far away!” Alex nodded solemnly, but inside, he was sure of something else entirely. Aunt Helen must be afraid that Mommy would find a boyfriend while she was still single. With a determined squeeze of Helen’s hand, Alex declared, “Don’t worry, Aunt Helen. I’ll help you find a boyfriend too. And even if I can’t, I’ll stay with you forever and take care of you when you’re old.” Helen froze, her forehead twitching as if her frustration was written all over her forehead

Haley gazed at her sleeping sons, their delicate faces and brows resembling Justin’s more than her own. The bond of blood was truly remarkable, she thought, her emotions swirling as she stood there in silence. After a while, she turned off the lights and left the room.Meanwhile, Justin and Zac finished their meeting and left the restaurant earlier than Evelyn’s group, sparing them a chance encounter. Yet, as Justin exited, he glanced back inside, hoping for a glimpse of a small figure that never appeared.Returning to their hotel, Zac grabbed two cases of beer and joined Justin in his room. He was already tipsy from their business dinner, but now he drank even more. His cheeks were flushed, and his eyes glistened as he slumped on the couch, beer bottle dangling from his hand.The bitterness in his heart bubbled to the surface as he turned to Justin, rambling incoherently. “Why did Helen disappear too? Tell me… why?” He tugged at Justin’s shirt collar, his voice trembling and punctu
