Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Such a Big Son

In the end, the baby still left the decision to Chloe Sterling. His big, round eyes looked at her, as if asking for her opinion.

Chloe Sterling understood what he meant and nodded. "Yes, he is."

After getting a definitive answer, the baby looked at Jasper Lockwood again and nodded, indicating he understood.

"What’s his name?" Jasper Lockwood asked.

"Adrian Kensington. His nickname is baby; you can just call him baby." Chloe Sterling patted the baby’s little head and asked softly, "Are you sleepy? Do you want to take a nap?"

The baby shook his head and pointed a little finger at his backpack.

Chloe Sterling brought the nearby backpack over and opened it. "What do you want?"

The baby reached out a small hand and took out the tablet inside.

Chloe Sterling understood. "Go ahead and play," she said. "Tell Godmommy when you’re sleepy, and I’ll take you to bed."

The baby nodded and then became absorbed in his own world.

A short while later, Tristan Sinclair suddenly arrived.

He walked into the living room, freezing for a moment when he saw the little boy sitting between Jasper Lockwood and Chloe Sterling. Then, he said teasingly, "Haven’t seen you in a few days, Second Master, and your son’s already this big."

Jasper Lockwood leaned back lazily against the sofa. "What are you doing here?"

Tristan Sinclair walked over. "I couldn’t find you at the office, so I had to come to your house."

Jasper Lockwood: "Something you need?"

Tristan Sinclair smiled and sat down across from the three of them. "Can’t I come see you if there’s nothing wrong?"

In truth, he was purely there to satisfy his own curiosity. He was dying to see how these two cold-natured people interacted.

He just hadn’t expected there to be a little guy in the mix.

Chloe Sterling hadn’t expected Tristan Sinclair to show up so suddenly. She abruptly remembered running into him at the hotel when she went to find Silas Coldwell, and she wondered if he would tell Jasper Lockwood about it.

Tristan Sinclair looked at Chloe Sterling and said with a smile, "Beauty, why are you looking at me like that?"

Chloe Sterling raised an eyebrow. "Is Young Master Sinclair afraid of being looked at?"

"Of course not. I’m just worried the Second Master will get jealous."

"Oh." A slight smile touched Chloe Sterling’s lips. "So you’re afraid of him."

Hearing this, Tristan Sinclair burst out laughing. "Second Master, so this is what your little beauty is like in private. I thought she was an iceberg just like you. It seems the two of you together are quite interesting. After all, you have a smoldering side under that cold exterior of yours."

"Of course it’s interesting." Jasper Lockwood picked up his tea and took a sip, his expression perfectly composed.

The baby had lifted his head when Tristan Sinclair came in, his bright, dark eyes watching him, though it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Sensing the little guy’s gaze, Tristan Sinclair looked at the baby again. "Whose kid is this? Jasper, he isn’t really your son, is he? And I have to say, he really does look a bit like you."

Jasper Lockwood said leisurely, "You should really get your eyes checked at a hospital."

"He’s my friend’s child." Chloe Sterling looked at the little guy beside her and made another introduction. "baby, this is Uncle Sinclair."

The baby looked at the man in front of him for a good while before finally nodding.

The little guy didn’t speak, and Tristan Sinclair quickly realized something was off. The child looked to be about three years old and should be able to talk, but his reaction suggested he couldn’t.

At this thought, Tristan Sinclair felt an inexplicable discomfort, as if he pitied the beautiful little boy.

Glancing at the tablet in the baby’s hands, Tristan Sinclair asked, "Do you like playing games?"

The baby shook his head. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

He didn’t actually like playing games. He had inherited his mother’s hacking skills and was using the internet to find his father.

But he was too young, after all, and there were some things he couldn’t do yet, so he hadn’t found any news about his father.

"Then what are you doing with the tablet?" Tristan Sinclair asked again.

After thinking for a moment, the baby decided to keep his secret. He hugged his tablet and shook his head at him.

Tristan Sinclair understood what he meant and chuckled. "It’s a secret?"

The baby nodded.

’This is my secret. Even my mother doesn’t know I’m secretly looking for my father.’

"Alright, I won’t ask then."

Tristan Sinclair picked up the tea a servant had just set down and took a sip. No longer paying attention to the little guy, he turned his gaze to Jasper Lockwood. "I heard that guy Coldwell from the Nocturne Group has been picking a fight with you lately. Is he starting to get revenge for what happened before?"

Jasper Lockwood’s expression was indifferent. "Yes."

"Why so suddenly? Didn’t he come to Crestfall to find that top-level pharmacist? He wasn’t making any moves before, so why strike now? And in a way that ensures mutual destruction, no less."

Tristan Sinclair was baffled. This made no sense. This method of revenge was too abnormal for Silas Coldwell.

Before Jasper Lockwood could answer, he seemed to guess something and added, "Don’t tell me you found the person he’s looking for? The pharmacist is with you?"

Chloe Sterling glanced at Jasper Lockwood but said nothing.

Jasper Lockwood said, "That’s right. The pharmacist is indeed with me."

Tristan Sinclair laughed. "No wonder he’s acting this way. I heard the pharmacist is an extremely beautiful woman and is very important to Silas Coldwell. Could she be his runaway lover? Why else would he use this method to get back at you?"

Chloe Sterling: "......"

A strange expression flickered across Jasper Lockwood’s handsome face, but he quickly regained his composure. "You’re overthinking it. He just wants the pharmacist to join the Nocturne Group."

"So this female pharmacist is really beautiful?" Tristan Sinclair asked curiously.

"Yes, very beautiful."

"Hm?" Tristan Sinclair was a little surprised by Jasper Lockwood’s answer. ’He said another woman was very beautiful right in front of Chloe Sterling. This female pharmacist must be someone special.’

Never one to pass up a chance to stir up drama, he gave a wicked smile and suddenly said to Chloe Sterling, "Chloe, besides you, this is the first time the Second Master has ever called another woman beautiful. You’d better watch out."

Chloe Sterling’s expression was nonchalant. "I don’t mind. It’s the truth."

Tristan Sinclair: "......"

’These two are certainly in sync.’

The baby suddenly looked up, his gaze sweeping over the three adults with a little expression that said, ’I know everything, but I’m not telling.’

’Godmommy is obviously the amazing and beautiful Mysterious Pharmacist, but the three of them are intentionally playing dumb. The world of adults is so complicated.’

Because he hadn’t slept well on the plane, the baby started to get sleepy after a short while and let out a yawn.

Seeing this, Chloe Sterling immediately asked, "Sleepy?"

The baby nodded.

"Godmommy will take you to bed." Chloe Sterling was just about to pick the baby up.

"Wait." Jasper Lockwood spoke up. "I’ll take him." Without waiting for the baby to react, he scooped the little guy up.

baby: "......"

’I don’t like being held by strangers. I’m already three years old, I can walk by myself.’

Beside them, Tristan Sinclair clicked his tongue twice and teased with a laugh, "Getting jealous of a child? Second Master, you can’t be serious."

Chloe Sterling: "....."

’I hadn’t thought of it that way at first, but now that he’s said it, I can’t help but wonder. Still, that seems unlikely. Tristan Sinclair is just deliberately teasing.’

The baby, still in Jasper Lockwood’s arms, squirmed a little and then pointed a small finger at the ground.

"You want to walk by yourself?" Jasper Lockwood asked.

The baby nodded.

"Are you sure?"

The baby nodded again, his expression firm.

"Alright." Only then did Jasper Lockwood put the baby down.
