Leo was totally gobsmacked.
He never figured the big boss would care so much about a kid from God knows where.
But he didn't press on it.
The next day, Jared was up at the crack of dawn and headed to Nocturne's room.
Sure enough, the kid was out like a light.
Jared stood by the bed, staring at that little face fast asleep.
He felt something, like a feather brushing gently against his heart.
He had no idea where this weird feeling was coming from.
He just looked at the kid, feeling a wave of warmth.
Without realizing it, he was reminded of his own kid.
He spent four crazy years searching everywhere possible, but he wasn't even sure if his kid was still alive.
If his kid was born, he'd be about the same age as Nocturne.
Jared didn't dare to think any further.
He swallowed down his emotions, and scooped up the sleeping kid.
When Jared walked into the company, the kid was snoozing on his shoulder.
This was the overseas headquarters of the Tim Group.
Over the years, the Tim Group has built up quite a portfolio here.
Although Jared wasn't around here often, everyone in the company knew their CEO well.
Even on a global scale, Jared was the name on everybody's lips.
So, every time he came, everyone was on their toes.
When Jared walked into the building, he turned quite a few heads.
But this time, it was different.
The boss actually brought a little kid with him.
