Chapter 377
Harvey’s words were a barenaked challenge.
“Really?” Isaac smiled faintly in response, his tone clear and rumbling as if emitted out of his chest.
Harvey stared warily at him. “Yes, you’ll definitely get upset if you saw–there’s nothing between me and Irene, and I
had the footage deleted because I don’t want you to misunderstand.”
However, it would have been better if he did not explain.
The more he did, the more others would feel like he had done something shady last night.
“I think you’re just guilty that others would find out,” Stan growled–his distaste toward Harvey did not happen
overnight, and he had always thought Harvey shameless.
Even Harvey himself felt that his attempts at explanation turned out badly.
Stan now seemed certain that he did something wrong, while Isaac glowered intimidatingly.
Could he really keep talking, given the situation? Or maybe he should show Isaac the videos he had… but would
that not worsen the misunderstanding?
Whatever.
“Believe what you want. I didn’t take advantage of Irene when she’s drunk, and that’s the truth.”

Naturally, that response made him appear guilty to Stan and Isaac.
“He’s definitely a rogue, sir. We can’t take his word at face value,” Stan said just then.
On the other hand, Isaac had wiped Irene’s body, and was certain that her body had not been touched.
However, Harvey was acting evasive and suspicious.
Either way, if he did save the footage, they were going to find it.
“Find a way to hack his computer.”
“I’ll do my best.” Stan replied–since their target was Harvey, he did not mind going the extra mile!
Bzzt-
Isaac’s phone suddenly started ringing, and he answered it.
“Sir,” James greeted from the other end.
“Yeah. Is the result out?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Tell me.”
“Layla Gooding is your parent,” James replied. “Our people are watching them now,
and they just sent word that she’s flying into the country.”
Isaac remained still, his chin clenching just then. “Got it.”
Layla, Yvaine… Both names meant ‘night‘.
It was no coincidence.
“Also, identify the man she’s with,” he added calmly.
Those who knew him were aware that the calmer he was, the more restless he was inside.
After all, no one would be calm if they learned that a family member who they presumed dead over more than a
decade was actually alive.
“Yes, sir,” James acknowledged, and hung up.
As for Isaac, his expression darkened as he pocketed his phone, and there was no emotion to be observed from his
calm visage.
Even Stan, who usually was not as attentive as James, knew that Isaac was in a bad mood and did his best not to
upset him.
“I’ll hack Harvey’s computer,” he carefully said.
“Yeah,” Isaac replied coolly, and Stan promptly made himself scarce.
Alone, Isaac headed horne. Finding Tommy lying in his crib, Isaac scooped the infant up in his arms.
Tommy was excited and happy to be carried, and started flailing his little hands.

The baby babbled–it was the entirety of his vocabulary.
At the same time, Isaac carried him over the couch, his mood calming thanks to Tommy.
He thought to himself that no parent would bear to abandon their child–if Yvaine Lynd had indeed been hiding
abroad, she must have had her reasons. She would never have done that on purpose or forgotten about him.
“Mah–Mah…” Tommy’s mushy voice was utterly adorable, and Isaac could not resist pinching his cheek. “Say Dah–
Dah.”
Tommy giggled and snuggled his little head up against Isaac, drooling all over his neck.
Mrs. Watson arrived with Tommy’s dinner just then, saying, “It’s time for little Tommy to eat.”
“I’ll feed him,” Isaac said.
“Okay,” Mrs. Watson handed the bowl of baby oats to Isaac, along with a tiny spoon.
Isaac had yet to master feeding a baby, but he definitely could do it, and there was a gentleness despite a slight
clumsiness. Moreover, Tommy being a glutton helped matters.
Usually, the baby would be sleeping right after he was done eating, but he seemed especially spirited today. He
may be reluctant to sleep because he was in his father’s arms.
Isaac kept carrying him when Stan suddenly arrived.
He was certainly efficient with his task.
“I found the footage on Harvey’s computer…” Isaac looked up.
