Altair Mo's actions came to a sudden halt as Jade Springfield forcefully pulled him. One was stagnant while the other side gave strength. In the end, as expected, they fell off.
Falling down, Jade Springfield did not expect that the other person would suddenly let go of her. It all happened too fast. In this unexpected twist, she was unable to change a thing.
Just when Jade Springfield thought that this man would push her into the water, the man who fell with her suddenly reached out with her hand to wrap an arm around her waist. With a sharp turn, she switched her positions now she was on top.
"iSploosh!" The two fell into the water, spraying gobs of water everywhere.
As Jade Springfield sank, she clearly saw the man's face. His face was almost the exact copy of Bun's face.
This man… Jade Springfield guessed that he was probably Bun's father.
Lucien Goldstein stood by the water and peered into it. "Mister Mo? Mister Mo? He's dead? Give us a sign!"
When Dante Westwood heard this, the corner of his eye twitched.
What kind of influential figure was his boss? He was the Imperial City God of Wealth, who could turn the tide with a wave of his hand as he wished.
To be defeated by falling into the water, what was he thinking? Besides, how was he going to give a sign if he was dead? Other than that, for now, the priority was the youngest son.
Dante Westwood reached Bun's side. Before he could say a word, he saw Bun preparing to jump into the bottom of the river.
Dante Westwood's heart nearly jumped out of his throat with fear. He quickly reached out his hand to hold Bun back. "Young lord, don't worry, the boss will be fine."
Bun was unable to express his panic, so he could only shout out loud to the river.
"Mommy mommy!"
The cry startled Dante Westwood, who nearly dropped Bun.
Lucien Goldstein was also stunned, his body rigid. He thought in his mind he was screaming for his father, right? Dad, mom. These two sound pretty similar.
" plop!" Jade Springfield came out of the water first, followed by Altair Mo.
When Bun saw Jade Springfield resurface, he excitedly yelled again, "Mommy, Mommy!"
At first, Altair Mo's thoughts were the same as Lucien Goldstein's. Dad, mom... They sounded similar. Even so, the little boy had never called him that before.
Jade Springfield wiped some water from her face. After taking a look at Altair Mo, she went to Bun's side.
"Mommy!" This time Bun's pronunciation was quite clear he was not distorted at all. Bun jumped into Jade Springfield's embrace and rubbed his face lovingly against her chest.
Jade Springfield carried Bun and gently patting Bun's back with her hand. "Don't be afraid, I'm fine."
Bun raised his small face from him and looked at Jade Springfield. Only when he saw that she was safe and sound did his little heart sigh in relief. Jade Springfield reached out to wipe the tears from Bun's face, her actions soft.
Lucien Goldstein was so surprised that his eyes nearly fell out of his head. He glanced at Altair Mo, the cold mask he wore on his face visibly cracked. Lucien reached out and nudged Altair Mo.
"
Mr. Mo, Mr. Mo. Do you want to confirm if this Bun is his Bun?"
Lucien Goldstein watched as Bun sobbed and cried, acting like a badass. Compared to his previous cold demeanor, he was almost as if they were two different people. Also, this kid just called her 'mommy'!
Lucien Goldstein looked at Jade Springfield, then looked at Bun in her embrace. If he didn't know better, they both looked pretty similar.
"Mr. Mo, you... Didn't you say that Bun's biological mother died in that fire? Then why no matter how I look at it, this woman looks so much like Bun's mother?"
Altair Mo's gaze had never left Jade Springfield from the beginning. He thought about the fire. The woman whose face he did not know had been burned there. At that moment, he frowned in a gloomy manner.
