It was at that precise moment that Melon got it all. He sprung up in ecstatic elation, rushing into Holden’s embrace and encircling his arms around his father’s neck. With an affectionate tone, he exclaimed, “Daddy, I’ve missed you so terribly!”

Having poured out his sentiments, he planted a joyful kiss on Holden’s cheek and commenced an animated conversation, regaling him with tales of everything under the sun.

Meanwhile, Devin, who had accompanied them, couldn’t be more thrown off.

Both he and Holden had donned leather jackets, but the divergence lay in the fact that Holden had deliberately disguised himself. His wig replicated the hairstyle Theodore had sported five years prior, nearly identical. Though he didn’t appear dramatically distinct from his usual self now, the semblance was convincing enough to deceive a child.

However, Devin hadn’t foreseen the existence of Holden’s illegitimate child in the summer camp!

Initially, he believed Holden had come to evaluate potential investments, but he never imagined that a child who bore an uncanny likeness to Holden would be their intention for coming. The manner in which their eyes and features mirrored each other was astonishing.

Even the faint dimples on the child’s cheek reminded those of Holden’s own from his youth, albeit less pronounced now that he was an adult and only visible when he chuckled.

And to further intensify the intrigue, there was Adele, who also had those same dimples!
