Dana walked over obediently, but she took advantage of Moira’s preoccupation elsewhere and waved
at him as she mouthed, “Goodbye, Master!”
“Aunt Moira, my Dixy is not back yet.” Heidi turned around and pouted at Moira.
“Be a good girl, and I’ll buy one for you tomorrow.”
“No, I don’t want that! My Dixy is very, very big!”
“I’m going to be mad at you now.”
“Hmph! I don’t like you anymore, Aunt Moira!”
Standing at the gate of the neighborhood, as Jacob saw his daughter’s retreating profile and heard her
child-like voice through the wind, he suppressed his urge to run to her and tell her the truth that she
was his daughter.
It was only until he could no longer see her that he went back to his car.
“Boss…” Looking at his lonely figure, Jerry walked to him, hesitant to speak. “Perhaps Heidi might be

Jacob turned around to look at him. “Buy a bottle of water for me.”
“What?” Jerry blinked, taken aback by his abrupt request.
“I have a class reunion party later.” Jacob opened the car door. “Do you think they will recognize me
looking like this?”
Class reunion?
Jerry’s spirits perked up. “What class is this? Hmm… But no matter whether you know them, you can’t
arrive looking like this. At the very least, you should change your clothes to designer clothes, and drive
a fancy car over. Oh, you also need an intelligent wife who–”
“Why are you so dramatic?” Jacob frowned. “I’m just meeting some mates in university. Just go and
buy a bottle of water for me. Ah, forget it. Just wait here for my daughter’s plushie. I’ll buy it on the way
myself.”
With that, he started the engine. Jerry crouched and asked him, “Boss, where should I place the
plushie?”
“Think about it yourself,” Jacob replied simply.
Think about it myself? Based on his fondness toward Heidi, I’m afraid… Jerry frowned. After looking
around the surroundings, a smile slowly surfaced on his face.
After returning to his usual looks, Jacob was late for around half an hour. He drove to the Grand
Imperial Hotel, which was located on a busy street in the city center.
After he parked his car, he followed Geoffrey’s instructions and went to the third floor immediately.
When he was walking past a long, carpeted corridor, a door suddenly opened, followed by a tall man
walking out of it.
When Jacob saw him, he smiled. “Hey, David.”
David, who was reeking of alcohol, blinked when he saw Jacob. With uncertainty in his tone, he asked,
“Jay?”
Jacob smiled widely before he walked over and patted his good friend’s shoulders. “Do you miss me?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt’s been a while since we last met.”
“You really are here!” David’s eyes widened in surprise. “Geoffrey told me that you are coming, but I
thought he was just joking!”
With that, he hugged Jacob. “I miss you so much, buddy!”
Feeling the sincerity in his words, a surge of warmth flowed into Jacob’s heart. He patted his back once
as he said, “When I was out working over the years, I occasionally thought about you too, hahah!”
At this moment, the door behind them opened again, followed by a thin young man walking out with a
glass of beer in his hands while grumbling, “Hey David, don’t you think of using the toilet as an
excuse… Hmph?”
When he saw the familiar face he knew, his hand that was holding the beer jerked. After a few blinks,
he turned around and walked through the door.
In no time, he announced, “Guys, guess who’s here?”
