Semua Bab After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control!: Bab 291 - Bab 300

Helen decided to head back to her room for a nap. Just as she lay down and closed her eyes, she suddenly remembered how mischievous Alex could be.Feeling uneasy, she got up and quietly returned to his room. Gently pushing the door open a crack, she peeked through to see if Alex was actually studying.Seeing him sitting quietly at his desk, diligently reading, Helen finally felt relieved and went back to bed.Alex managed to stay focused on his books for about three hours, retaining bits and pieces of what he read. But eventually, he couldn’t sit still any longer. His bottom hurt from sitting for so long. Standing up to stretch, his curious eyes darted around, his little mind whirring with ideas.He slipped out of his room and glanced down the hallway. The living room was empty. The housekeeper and staff were either preparing lunch or cleaning. Taking the opportunity, Alex rushed back to his room and stuffed the gift he had prepared for Justin into his small backpack. He made s

The number of bodyguards wasn’t overwhelming, each stationed at a different position. Adding to that, the villa was nestled in a quiet street, far less fortified than the castle-like estates in the Merika State. This made it remarkably easy for Alex to sneak out.Once he reached the street, Alex quickly dialed Justin’s number.On the top floor of RC Corporation's headquarters, Justin sat at the head of the conference table, leading a meeting with the multinational project team. His phone, face-down next to a stack of documents, buzzed. Glancing at the screen, he raised his hand to interrupt his subordinate mid-report. “Hold on a moment.”Without leaving his seat, Justin answered the call. “Alex, what’s wrong?”Alex, unaware Justin was in the middle of a meeting, chirped brightly, “Uncle Justin, where do you work?”“RC Corporation. Why?” Justin replied absentmindedly, charmed by Alex’s cheerful voice, assuming the boy was just curious.“No reason, Uncle Justin. I’ll hang up now.

The employees' curiosity about the situation far outweighed their interest in work. Sam walked over, rapped his knuckles on a desk, and said coldly, “Still looking? Aren’t you worried Mr. Yates might show up unexpectedly and double your workload?”One of the secretaries let out an awkward laugh. “I’m not looking anymore! I still want to take my son out to play on my day off, so I’ll get back to work now.”She hurriedly sat back down and began tackling her tasks for the day.Carrying his mug, Sam made his way back to his office. Without betraying much emotion, he cast a quick glance toward the CEO’s office. Who was that kid to the boss?*Inside the office, Justin set Alex down on the couch. Alex slipped off his backpack and pulled out a gift box, holding it out to Justin. “Uncle Justin, this is for you,” Alex said in his pure, childlike voice, his expression serious. “It’s to thank you for treating me to dinner last time. Mommy says we should always return kindness with k

After a short while, Zac must have found a way to calm Helen down. Taking the phone, he spoke to Alex. “Stay with Uncle Justin for now. After your Aunt Helen and I finish lunch, I’ll come pick you up.” “Okay, Uncle Zac! No rush!” Alex replied obediently. Hanging up, Alex handed the phone back to Justin. “Uncle Justin, here you go.” Justin calmly took the phone and placed it on the table beside him. As they waited for their food, Alex stole glances at Justin. Hopefully, he hadn’t overheard Aunt Helen’s yelling earlier. When Alex realized it was her on the line, he had quietly turned down the volume. After all, he was a big kid now, and letting Uncle Justin hear him getting scolded by Aunt Helen would be way too embarrassing. It would ruin his reputation completely! Justin had caught bits and pieces of the commotion, but not enough to understand what was being said. He wasn’t particularly curious about other people’s phone calls anyway. *Meanwhile, in Zac’s car,

After a satisfying meal, Zac guided Helen to the car. Settling into the passenger seat, Helen felt the post-lunch drowsiness kick in. The warm afternoon sun and her full stomach made her eyelids grow heavy. Her head bobbed slightly as she dozed off, trusting Zac to handle picking up Alex. After all, she didn’t need to drive, so she let herself relax completely. Seeing her fast asleep, Zac quietly drove to a nearby hotel. After booking a room on his phone, he carried her inside. Sleepiness must be contagious because Zac was starting to feel it too. After taking off her shoes and settling her on the bed, he sent a quick message to Justin. “I’ll pick up Alex from you later this afternoon.”With that done, he climbed into bed on the other side and wrapped his arms around her before drifting off. *They slept soundly until late in the afternoon. In her half-asleep state, Helen thought the warmth beside her was her plushie. She turned over and snuggled against it, rubbing he
