When Shane learned that Larry was doing high school work despite the fact that he was only eight, he was utterly shocked.
Is he a genius? Vivian is already someone who is extremely smart. Does this mean that her son is even smarter than her?
Is this a sign of one generation outperforming the previous one?
After playing with Shane for a while, Larry started to enjoy his company.
As they continued playing, Shane had doubts over whether Vivian was a vicious person given how happy her family was.
Hence, he grew suspicious of what Evelyn had told him. Besides, given how much Larry liked him, he
began to feel reluctant to kidnap him.
"Mr. Teslar, what's wrong?” Seeing Shane staring blankly, Larry thought that the man wasn't feeling well.
"What is it?" Vivian asked out of concern as she too had noticed how strange Shane was acting.
When he saw the worried look on Vivian and Larry's faces, he hesitated. He began to wonder if kidnapping Larry to cause Vivian distress was a good idea.
After all, Vivian had helped him a lot at work and cared for him at a personal level. No matter how he looked at it, she didn't seem like the evil person Evelyn had made her out to be.
"Oh, it's nothing." He had just spaced out for a moment and yet both mother and son duo showed their concern for him.
He was now at a loss on what to do.
"Good to hear that you're fine." Vivian nodded. She was worried about him when she saw his face turn pale.
As the sky began to darken, Shane decided to take his leave.
That night, he went to see Evelyn.
"Are you sure you're telling me the truth?" Shane still couldn't believe the lady he used to have a crush on was such a vicious person.
"What else can it be? What do I have to gain by lying to you?" Evelyn stared at Shane. What's with the change of heart? Did someone brainwashed him or something?
Why is his tone so different today?
