Charlie sat at his desk and watched her signing the agreement with Jonathan on the couch. He frowned, feeling his
heart gripped with a sense of anxiety.
Ben called him, “Dad.”
Only then did he look down at his son and manage to restrain himself.
They went to have dinner at Daphne’s new home. Daphne had just bought a new apartment and moved in. That
was why she invited her friends over for a dinner party. Apart from Roderick,
Charlie’s friend Jack was also there.
Theresa followed Charlie into the door with the two kids.
Jack saw the family show up and his eyes fell on the twins who looked exactly like Charlie.
He ran over, looked at the two kids, and said in amazement, “Gee, Charlie, I knew you have two kids, but I didn’t
know they look so much like you! I can tell that they are your boys at first sight.”
“I haven’t seen you for a while, and all you can do is talk nonsense?” They were his kids, so they naturally looked

Hearing what Charlie said, Jack curled his lip and reached out his hand to pinch Leonard’s face, but Leonard
stopped him coldly. “Don’t touch me.”
Jack said, “Holy shit! He has the same personality as you.”
“No, I don’t!” Leonard glared at Jack and ducked behind Theresa.
He was not like Badass Charlie!
Jack laughed. “Charlie, if these two kids didn’t look exactly like you, I would have thought they were born to
Theresa.”
Leonard was Charlie’s child with another woman, but the boy was obviously closer to Theresa.
It looked as if he wanted to dissociate himself from Charlie.
Theresa was startled by Jack’s words. She knew that Jack was talking off the cuff, but she was nervous and afraid
that Charlie would catch a hint.
Luckily, Roderick came over and said gently to the two kids, “Leonard, and Ben.”
Seeing Roderick, Ben politely said, “Hello, Uncle Roderick.”
Even Leonard, who had just been aloof, looked much better when he saw Roderick.
Leonard liked Roderick better than Charlie and he even wanted Roderick to be his father.
Therefore, his eyes shone brightly at the sight of Roderick.
Jack stood beside Roderick and said with displeasure, “Why? Why do they like you so much as soon as they see
you?”
Roderick said, “Because you don’t look like a nice guy.”
Jack was a man with earrings and his freshly dyed red hair looked even more outrageous.
He had a handsome face, but he looked weird.
Jack said, “I don’t look like a nice guy? I am very nice, okay? What do you think, kids?”
He leaned closer to Leonard, who looked at him with a more serious expression.
Theresa introduced him, “This is Uncle Jack.”
Theresa had met Jack and naturally knew his name.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJack was Charlie’s friend, so the two kids should call him uncle.
Ben said, “Nice to meet you, Uncle Jack.”
Watching Ben whose face looked exactly like Charlie’s and hearing the boy call him uncle, Jack was so excited. “You
too! Oh, it’s the first time we met. I’ll send you boys some money as a gift.”
With that, he went to get his phone!
Roderick said, “Let’s get in. Daphne said she’s cooking herself today.”
He led them toward the dining room.
Ben took Charlie’s hand, followed by Leonard. Theresa and Roderick were left at the back.
Roderick asked, “They’re on holiday?”
“Yes.”
“Did you tell Charlie about the kids?” Roderick whispered.
He was always the one who was most concerned about this matter.
Given his relationship with Charlie, he should have already told Charlie, but he had been concerned about what
Theresa would think, so he hadn’t said anything.
However, with such a big secret on his mind, he would naturally pay close attention to it.
