Chapter 17
“It took me so long to find you, Daddy.”
Elias held Roderick’s leg and burst into tears.
“I don’t want to be sent back to the island.”
Roderick squatted down and said excitedly, “Tell me, kid. Is your mother Melanie Robertson?”
Hearing this, Elias stopped crying and said in surprise, “You know who my mommy is. Then why didn’t you come to see us?”
“I didn’t know that before, but I do now.”
Roderick held Elias in his arms.
He thought, ‘He’s our child.’
Roderick stretched out his fingers clumsily and wiped the tears from Elias‘ face.
“Where’s your mommy?”
“Mommy is at work and I want to look for you.”
Elias began to cry again as he spoke.
“Mommy won’t let me see you!”
Roderick frowned after hearing this..
“Why?”
“Mommy said that I could only see you when I grow up, but other kids are all with their daddy.”
Elias wiped his tears again.
Roderick felt very guilty.
After seeing Elias’s face and knowing that he was Melanie’s son, Roderick was almost certain that he
was his son.
“Come here, honey.”
He clumsily wiped away Elias‘ tears again and held him in his arms.
“Don’t cry.
Bill was surprised to see Roderick carry Elias back to the Lambert Manor, and he followed them. quickly.
Richard held the file box in his arms and tried to catch up with them.
“What about the international meeting this morning, Mr. Lambert?”
“Cancel it.”
At this time, Jennifer was staring at the breakfast on the table in a daze.
Having got nothing of the mystery girl from Roderick last night, she hadn’t slept well all night.
Just as she was thinking about calling her sons–in–law to ask them to look into it, she saw a servant rush in nervously.
“Mr. Lambert is back with a child in his arms, Mrs. Lambert.”
“How is that possible? Even Noah is afraid of him.”
Jennifer shook her head and sighed, but the next second, she suddenly thought of something.
“What did you say? Roddy is back with a child in his arms?”
“Yes, and he looks a lot like him!”
In an instant, Jennifer thought about a pretty face.
She hurried out of the dining room, and as soon as she walked to the living room, she was surprised!
Roderick, who hardly talked, was holding a boy in his arms and talking to him with a smile.
“Nice to meet you, Grandma. I’m Elias.”
Elias was not afraid of strangers at all.
He showed a big smile to Jennifer.
“Elias?”
Jennifer looked at him and then at Roderick, feeling that they looked so much alike.
“What’s going on, Roddy?”
“Mom, this is my son and your grandson.”
Roderick put Elias in Jennifer’s arms.
“My grandson?”
Jennifer opened her mouth wide in surprise and hugged Elias.
“What exactly happened, Roddy? Where did you get this boy who looks so much like you?”
“I didn’t get him. He’s really your grandson.”
Roderick rubbed his forehead, not knowing how to explain what happened seven years ago to Jennifer.
“My grandson?”
Jennifer was even more surprised.
She didn’t believe it. She knew her son very well and there was no way he had a child this age.
“When did you get someone to have a baby for you? Why didn’t you tell me?”
Elias shook Jennifer’s hand.
“I’m not a product, Grandma. I have a mother who loves me very much.”
Bill, who was listening to this all the time, had already guessed what this was all about.
Seeing that Roderick wouldn’t tell, he volunteered to explain it to Jennifer briefly.
Hearing Bill’s explanation, Jennifer paused and laughed.
“I feel so happy that I have a grandson. Come on, Roddy. Call your father and grandpa.”
Jennifer held Elias in her arms and kept kissing him on the cheek, having a strong affection for
him.
“He looks so much like you. Just look at his nose, eyes, and the mole…
“My dear grandson, Elias. Why isn’t your mother with you?”
Hearing this, Elias‘ face darkened.
“Mommy doesn’t know I’m here. She won’t allow me to see Daddy.” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“What? Then how did you know your daddy lives here?”
After calming down, Jennifer finally asked a question that everyone was curious about.
“Give me your laptop, Daddy.”
Roderick glanced at Bill when he heard this.
Soon, Bill
put the laptop in front of Elias.
Elias turned on the laptop and began to type something quickly.
A few minutes later, everyone was shocked.
On the screen was a genetic map of the global DNA database, and it showed that Roderick was indeed Elias’s biological father.
Bill exclaimed, “That’s insane. How did you get in, Elias?
Elias blinked and said deservedly, “It’s easy. The path is…”
Not only was Bill amazed by his talent, but even Roderick was shocked.

He had never seen a kid this age so proficient in hacking.
“You’re a genius. No, you’re the master of hacking”
As a good hacker, Bill put everything aside and began to consult him about hacking.
me time, Melanie and Angie also went back to the Harbour Villa. They were going to send
At the the kids back to the island.
Unexpectedly, they didn’t see Elias.
“Where’s Elias? Where is he?”
Ethan said first, “We don’t know. I just know that Elias went out with Luke. He said that he was going to see you.
Edward added, “Yes, Mommy. Don’t worry. Elias will be back soon.”
The boys‘ perfunctory answers gave Melanie a bad feeling..
“Find where they are, Angie.”
It didn’t take Angie much time to find where Elias was.
She was a little hesitant when she saw the name of the place.
“Elias is in the Lambert Manor now, Melanie. They’re on the road they were yesterday.”
“Are you referring to the Lambert family, the top one family in Beloris?”
Yes.”
“What is Elias doing there?”
Melanie had just lost her sight this morning, so she was a little mad.
“I told him that I would send him back this afternoon.”
Edward and Ethan looked at each other, not daring to raise their heads.
Angie looked at them and asked, “Are you hiding something?”
“No, we’re not. We don’t know anything.”
Edward and Ethan waved their hands and shook their heads repeatedly.
They couldn’t tell Melanie that Elias was looking for their daddy.
Although they seldom talked about this, they hoped that they could have a father just like Elias did.
More importantly, they wouldn’t have to go back to the island once they had a father here.
Melanie asked Gary to take care of Edward and Ethan. Then she went to Cloud Avenue with Roy
and Sam.
