Chapter 437 That’s Our Fate
"Mr. Gibbs." Madeline was surprised to see Simon here. They met each other at a literary exchange
meeting abroad. She wrote a and won many awards abroad; Simon joked that he was her fan.
Simon held several events abroad and invited her to all of them. But she only attended twice with
Thomas and Mackenzie.
Simon liked the two of them very much after seeing them; he wanted to take them in as his disciples.
But Madeline was full of hatred back then; she was not ready to be back in Imperia. So she did not
agree to it.
Unexpectedly, after everything, she ended up sending the two of them plus Colton to Simon.
"I've heard about your school's reputation for a long time, so I brought them here to take the entrance
exam today."
Simon glanced at Thomas and Colton back and forth, and he stroked his beard thoughtfully and asked
Thomas, "Hey kid, do you remember who I am?"
He nodded and said, "Grandpa Simon, this is my brother, Colton Quincy."
Simon noticed that the two of them resembled each other, but their surnames were surprisingly
different.He gave Madeline a meaningful look without asking anything.
"Grandpa Simon, can we study in this school? They refused to let us in!" Thomas noticed that the
security guards were afraid of Simon. And Easton hid guiltily behind them.
So, he knew that Simon should be influential in this school.
"It's an honor for our school to have students who are extremely smart like you. But, we haven't seen
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇteach other for one year; I'll still test you all." Simon smiled kindly and held Thomas and Mackenzie to
each of his sides.
Madeline saw it and held Colton herself, and she smiled gently toward him.
"Who stopped you just now?" When Simon was entering the school, he turned to look sharply at one of
the security guards.
The security guard trembled with cold sweats.
"H… Hey, where's that man? He's right here just now." Thomas was searching for Easton, but he could
not see him in the crowd.
Madeline realized something was off; Easton might not be the person in charge of the school.
"Alright, I'll let someone handle this matter; you all should follow me to my office." He grimaced and
waved his hands.
Madeline had brought her children to Simon's office and was looking around when Simon tested them.
Simon's office was spacious, and one of the walls was full of pictures.
She had relatively good eyesight; she spotted someone who looked like Noah.
"Ha, ha! Good! Excellent! You all are even smarter than your father!" He exclaimed after testing the
three of them.
Madeline was stunned upon hearing his words.
Simon realized that he had slipped his tongue, so he just brought them to that wall full of pictures and
pointed at one picture. "Look, who's this?"
They were two men standing side by side in front of the school library. One man was older than
another, and he was Simon in his youth. The other man was Noah, around eighteen years old.
"It's my daddy." Colton replied calmly.
Thomas was much more excited than him; he was jumping up and down. "Grandpa Simon, when did
you know my daddy?"
"Daddy was so handsome when he was young." Mackenzie gasped at the picture.
Madeline also took a close look. Alright, Noah's indeed the most handsome man wherever he goes.
Nobody can look better than him in pictures.
"Your Daddy and I have known each other for a very long time; I think back to when he was wearing
diapers... Simon recalled with a soft look.
"So, you knew that Thomas was his son back in Uranica?" Madeline looked away from the picture and
asked sourly.
"I thought that he looked a lot like him; I even told Noah about it when I was back in Imperia. But he
told me that every child looks somehow alike. I wanted to meet with Colton to be sure back then, but he
refused. If not, you all may have united way earlier." Simon said this emphatically, looking at both
Colton and Thomas.
In the past, Colton had autism. Noah usually hid him in the house most of the time; Angie barely
brought him out when she was looking after him either.
Hence, Simon had not seen Colton, even though he knew Noah for so many years.
Madeline's heart skipped a beat upon hearing his words. If Noah knew that someone who looked
exactly like Colton existed, he would straightaway fly to Uranica to fight with her for the custody of the
child.
If something like that did happen, their relationship might be even worse than it is now.
"A few months ago, he unexpectedly called me and told me that he had reunited with his other son and
daughter. He was so happy like a child when he told me he also found his wife back. He told me that he
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwould bring all his children to meet up with me, but I was abroad until now."
Simon laughed as he said that he barely surfed the internet, so he did not know about Noah's news. If
Noah did not tell him about his family reunion, he would not be sure that Thomas was his son.
"Grandpa Simon, is this my daddy too?" Mackenzie pointed at another picture and asked him.
Simon pushed his glasses back and answered, "Yes, that's him. I don't know where he went back then;
he almost lost his life. But he wasn't willing to tell me who saved him back then."
"Mommy, wrong with you?" Mackenzie wanted to show her the picture. She felt that Noah looked so
funny in it.
His face was covered in bruises, and his clothes were soiled. He looked like a beggar.
But she saw Madeline staring at the picture with reddened eyes, and her face was pale.
"Mommy, what's wrong with you?" Colton also realized Madeline's abnormality; he held and shook her
hand.
Madeline came back to her senses, and she forced a smile. "I'm alright, Mr. Gibbs; did they all pass the
test?"
"Of course, they're brilliant. I'm worried that the teacher won't be able to teach them." Simon looked at
her in confusion, but he did not ask much as he knew that she was reluctant to explain.
"Then I'll bring them home first; I'll send them back during the school's open day."
Madeline hurriedly brought them away. Simon sat in his office for a while, then he walked toward the
picture and took a photo, which he sent to Noah.
And he called Noah. "Okay, you can rest assured now. It almost cost me my life for me to rush back."
"Thank you, teacher; please look after my children."
"Stop with your courtesy. I sent you a picture just now; your wife almost cried staring at it. Do you know
why?"
Noah was stunned after clicking into the photo.
