Chapter 572
Sean clenched his jaw and gave a playful, sinister smile. “Say that again, and I might just beat you up!”
Pearl stuck out her tongue and hid behind Drew.
“Alright, enough joking
– Aunt Susan told me she agrees for you to see my dad, so
there’s nothing to worry about.”
Pearl felt worried when she heard that. Reese had found his long–lost son, but Susan might have lost a child. She might be facing the possibility that her own child had been switched or was no longer alive.
Sean, sensing Pearl’s concern, reassured her, “I’ll always be Mom’s son. That won’t change no matter my bloodline.”
Pearl patted his shoulder happily. “I’m glad to hear that. Aunt Susan will be happy let’s not waste any more time. Go see Uncle Reese.”
y too. Alright,
Sean nodded, and Drew went to get his car. The three of them headed to Reese’s place as quickly as possible.
After Reese returned, he purchased a villa in Enswood and filled it with furniture to make it feel like a home.
As the day approached for Sean to visit, Reese paced nervously within the house, changing into various outfits. When he heard a knock on the door, his heart raced so fast that it felt like it might stop.
Pearl led the way inside, and when Sean saw the man before him, he felt an odd mixture of unfamiliarity and a stirring in his heart. Perhaps there was a connection between them after
all.
Reese started crying. “My son, I’m your father…” He then took a step forward and embraced Sean warmly.
It was the first time Sean had been hugged with such love, causing his b*dy to tense with nervousness. “Sir-” He began, which dimmed Reese’s eyes momentarily.
However, Reese quickly reassured himself that it was just their first meeting, and it was normal not to call him “dad” yet. One day, he will.
“It’s fine, you’ll get used to it,” Reese said as he released Sean, but the atmosphere felt slightly awkward between them.
Drew sensed the tension and lightened the mood, saying, “Dad, you never hugged me like that before. How come you’re treating him so nicely?”
Reese rolled his eyes. “What are you talking about? Your mom passed away after giving birth to you, and who else would have hugged you when you were a kid? Your brother has just returned, so of course, I hugged him.”
Drew scoffed. “Sure, sure. My brother is back so I guess I’ll become invisible from now on. I should pack my bags and hit the road to avoid getting boycotted.”
Despite his words, Drew appeared happy and mischievous, showing no signs of sadness.
Reese chuckled as Pearl and Sean smiled.
“By the way, Sean, now that you’ve accepted that I’m your dad, I’m thinking of changing your last name to Cooper. Sean Cooper. What do you think?”
Sean’s smile vanished instantly. “I won’t change it.”
