My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back
Chapter 348: Lunch Party (3)
Harper, who overheard Be’s conversation with Geoffrey, suddenly remembered something.
Her expression turned worried as she looked at Be, "I’m in trouble!" She whispered, grabbing Be’s hands.
"Huh? What... what happened?" Be stared at Harper, worried that something had happened to her. "Are you alright, Harper?" She felt Harper’s cold hand, which made her even more concerned.
"I’m so stupid! How could I forget about my little Dax?" Harper paused to take a deep breath, her expression turning dark as she continued. "Gosh! Ipletely forgot about him... What the hell am I thinking!?"
Harper felt bad because as soon as she arrived at this house, she was distracted by someone she wanted to meet. She couldn’t focus and forgot her priorities, flying to this city only to meet her cute and lovely nephew, Daxton. How foolish she was.
Be was rendered speechless; she almost fell from her chair hearing her words. This girl sessfully made her worry for nothing.
She initially thought Harper was in pain or had forgotten something in New York and needed to return immediately. However, she was in trouble because she had forgotten about Dax.
Sigh!
Be wanted to scold her for worrying her. However, Stefan’s voice calling her has stopped her. She turned to see him.
"Sis, I thought you would keep Dax from me, not wanting to introduce him—" Stefan protested, sending a sharp gaze. "I have been waiting for this opportunity since I arrived in this city!"
Be, "..."
"Sorry, bro. I wanted to bring Dax to meet you earlier, but he has aputer ss with his teacher," Be said.
Stefan didn’t say anything; he just looked at her with a ’seriously?’ gaze before turning his eyes toward the house.
He was curious about meeting Be’s son, Dax. He had only heard about the brilliant Dax from Be and Sam all this time. From them, he learned that Dax was not a typical kid of his age. He had a rare ability for a four-year-old who already understood intermediate coding and other knowledge.
Stefan could understand it since he also had that ability from a young age. But he needed to check Dax’s ability with his own eyes.
In his case, he only became interested inputers and could learn about them at six.
While Dax? He already showed interest at four. How scary is that? If Dax has the ability, he is willing to mentor him.
He will teach and guide him so Dax will not fall to the wrong side. Otherwise, they will get in trouble if someone uses that kid to do something vile and terrible in the future.
However, he needs to meet Dax in person first. Later, when they talk or see him using theputer, he will discover whether this kid is a genius or Be is just bluffing.
Suddenly, Stefan remembered what Be said earlier. He nced at Be again.
"Sis, you said Dax has aputer teacher?" Stefan asked. He wanted to meet that person and test whether he was qualified to teach his sister’s son.
"Yes. Since we arrived in this city, someone has started teaching him. I will introduce you to my son’s teacher; he will join us for lunch."
"Perfect! I want to meet his teacher." Stefan smiled.
"Stef… Gael, behave!" Harper suddenly spoke, surprising Stefan because she almost exposed his real name.
When Harper saw Stefan re at her, she cleared her throat before continuing. "Dax is different from other kids. He can’t get close to new people easily, so you need time to approach him. Don’t scare him, or he will not talk to you for a long time, well maybe a yearter—"
Stefan frowned. He was utterly surprised. But his surprise onlysted a second, and he started to doubt Harper’s words. He turned his gaze back to Be, "Is that true?" he asked.
Be smiled and nodded. "Yes, even Jack could only approach and talk to him after they had met a few times."
"Don’t worry, bro..." Sam patted Stefan’s shoulder. "Little Dax will talk to you, but he needs time. It took me five meetings before he finally talked to me, even though he only responded to my one-sentence greeting."
Sam’s words were enough to make Stefan swallow hard. He didn’t know Dax would be hard to approach.
"Ha ha ha, don’t listen to them," Be said. She felt sorry when she saw Stefan’s pale expression. "My son has changed a lot since we moved here."
"Really? Dax is no longer hard to approach?" Harper was surprised.
"Yeah. His introverted side is slowly changing because, in this ce, he has many friends and plenty of activities to meet new people. As a result, he has started to socialize more easily." Be smiled when she saw Stefan finally rx.
"Well, Gael, don’t worry, you’ll do great. If you share the same hobby as him, he might like you and appreciate you quicker thanmon people..." Be continued.
"Huh!? What hobby?" Harper asked, curious.
"Dax likesputers and software programming, so maybe he could casually chat with him..." Be answered Harper while smiling warmly at Stefan.
Finally, Stefan breathed a sigh of relief. He could be friends with Dax faster.
Before Stefan could ask another question, he saw a chubby, pale-skinned young boy wearing a ck hoodieing out of the house. He knew it must be Daxton.
Stefan felt ted to see him; he appeared adorable and handsome. However, his smile faded when he noticed the tall, brown-haired man walking alongside Dax. Just a brief look at the man, suddenly, his hand clenched into a tight fist.
’Why is he here?’ Stefan wasn’t expecting to see this man here. Before he could find the answer, something crossed his mind. ’What the heck! This man is Dax’sputer teacher? Seriously? I’m way better than him!’
Not wanting that man to be suspicious of him, Stefan turned his gaze to look at Dax again, trying to appear casual before the little kid, worried about scaring him.
When Stefan thinks he is safe from Max’s suspicions, he is wrong because Max has seen him.
Max stared at Stefan briefly and thought the man looked familiar. ’Did I see him before?’ he wondered as he approached them.
