Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 247

Due to the recent upheaval caused by the Lockwood Group incident, the

company found itself entangled in numerous unresolved issues. As a key partner, Forrest was also pulled into the fray, spending his days juggling tasks and rarely making it home before late.

Late at night, at the cozy Willow Lane residence, Forrest finally returned. As he stepped through the door, Howard, the family's trusted butler, took his white jacket and spoke up at the right moment.

Forrest was aware that Julian had moved in and had hoped to meet the boy that day. However, the chaos of the day had thwarted his plans.

"And how's the little one doing?" Forrest inquired.

Howard paused to recall. "The child is well-behaved but seems a bit withdrawn. There's a hint of psychological trouble. He's taken to calling Ms. Sutherland 'Mom'."

"He calls Mimi 'Mom'?" Forrest paused in the act of unbuttoning his silver cufflinks, a small smile playing on his lips as the warm light reflected off his glasses. "What an interesting child."

He chuckled lightly as he handed the delicate cufflinks to Howard to put away.
