Elysia did not take the menu, only shaking her head. “Odalyn, this is more than enough.”

Upon hearing this, Odalyn said nothing more and handed the menu to the waiter. “Just these, please,” she instructed.

“Dad, that’s not what I meant,” Logan said, shifting his gaze as he edged closer to Berenger. “Dad, am I not your real son?”

Upon hearing this, Berenger raised his eyes to him, his tone filled with a hint of scrutiny. “You don’t want to be my son?”

“Dad, what nonsense are you talking about?”

Berenger huffed coldly. “Report to my company next Tuesday, and as for that off–road car, I’ll agree to buy it.”
