Harper, who overheard Bella’s conversation with Geoffrey, suddenly rembered sothing.
Her expression turned worried as she looked at Bella, "I’m in trouble!" She whispered, grabbing Bella’s hands.
"Huh? What... what happened?" Bella stared at Harper, worried that sothing had happened to her. "Are you alright, Harper?" She felt Harper’s cold hand, which made her even more concerned.
"I’m so stupid! How could I forget about my little Dax?" Harper paused to take a deep breath, her expression turning dark as she continued. "Gosh! I completely forgot about him... What the hell am I thinking!?"
Harper felt bad because as soon as she arrived at this house, she was distracted by soone she wanted to et. She couldn’t focus and forgot her priorities, flying to this city only to et her cute and lovely nephew, Daxton. How foolish she was.
Bella was rendered speechless; she almost fell from her chair hearing her words. This girl successfully made her worry for nothing.
She initially thought Harper was in pain or had forgotten sothing in New York and needed to return imdiately. However, she was in trouble because she had forgotten about Dax.
Sigh!
Bella wanted to scold her for worrying her. However, Stefan’s voice calling her has stopped her. She turned to see him.
"Sis, I thought you would keep Dax from , not wanting to introduce him—" Stefan protested, sending a sharp gaze. "I have been waiting for this opportunity since I arrived in this city!"
Bella, "..."
"Sorry, bro. I wanted to bring Dax to et you earlier, but he has a computer class with his teacher," Bella said.
Stefan didn’t say anything; he just looked at her with a ’seriously?’ gaze before turning his eyes toward the house.
He was curious about eting Bella’s son, Dax. He had only heard about the brilliant Dax from Bella and Sam all this ti. From them, he learned that Dax was not a typical kid of his age. He had a rare ability for a four-year-old who already understood interdiate coding and other knowledge.
Stefan could understand it since he also had that ability from a young age. But he needed to check Dax’s ability with his own eyes.
In his case, he only beca interested in computers and could learn about them at six.
While Dax? He already showed interest at four. How scary is that? If Dax has the ability, he is willing to ntor him.
He will teach and guide him so Dax will not fall to the wrong side. Otherwise, they will get in trouble if soone uses that kid to do sothing vile and terrible in the future.
However, he needs to et Dax in person first. Later, when they talk or see him using the computer, he will discover whether this kid is a genius or Bella is just bluffing.
Suddenly, Stefan rembered what Bella said earlier. He glanced at Bella again.
"Sis, you said Dax has a computer teacher?" Stefan asked. He wanted to et that person and test whether he was qualified to teach his sister’s son.
"Yes. Since we arrived in this city, soone has started teaching him. I will introduce you to my son’s teacher; he will join us for lunch."
"Perfect! I want to et his teacher." Stefan smiled.
"Stef… Gael, behave!" Harper suddenly spoke, surprising Stefan because she almost exposed his real na.
When Harper saw Stefan glare at her, she cleared her throat before continuing. "Dax is different from other kids. He can’t get close to new people easily, so you need ti to approach him. Don’t scare him, or he will not talk to you for a long ti, well maybe a year later—"
Stefan frowned. He was utterly surprised. But his surprise only lasted a second, and he started to doubt Harper’s words. He turned his gaze back to Bella, "Is that true?" he asked.
Bella smiled and nodded. "Yes, even Jack could only approach and talk to him after they had t a few tis."
"Don’t worry, bro..." Sam patted Stefan’s shoulder. "Little Dax will talk to you, but he needs ti. It took five etings before he finally talked to , even though he only responded to my one-sentence greeting."
Sam’s words were enough to make Stefan swallow hard. He didn’t know Dax would be hard to approach.
"Ha ha ha, don’t listen to them," Bella said. She felt sorry when she saw Stefan’s pale expression. "My son has changed a lot since we moved here."
"Really? Dax is no longer hard to approach?" Harper was surprised.
"Yeah. His introverted side is slowly changing because, in this place, he has many friends and plenty of activities to et new people. As a result, he has started to socialize more easily." Bella smiled when she saw Stefan finally relax.
"Well, Gael, don’t worry, you’ll do great. If you share the sa hobby as him, he might like you and appreciate you quicker than common people..." Bella continued.
"Huh!? What hobby?" Harper asked, curious.
"Dax likes computers and software programming, so maybe he could casually chat with him..." Bella answered Harper while smiling warmly at Stefan.
Finally, Stefan breathed a sigh of relief. He could be friends with Dax faster.
Before Stefan could ask another question, he saw a chubby, pale-skinned young boy wearing a black hoodie coming out of the house. He knew it must be Daxton.
Stefan felt elated to see him; he appeared adorable and handso. However, his smile faded when he noticed the tall, brown-haired man walking alongside Dax. Just a brief look at the man, suddenly, his hand clenched into a tight fist.
’Why is he here?’ Stefan wasn’t expecting to see this man here. Before he could find the answer, sothing crossed his mind. ’What the heck! This man is Dax’s computer teacher? Seriously? I’m way better than him!’
Not wanting that man to be suspicious of him, Stefan turned his gaze to look at Dax again, trying to appear casual before the little kid, worried about scaring him.
When Stefan thinks he is safe from Max’s suspicions, he is wrong because Max has seen him.
Max stared at Stefan briefly and thought the man looked familiar. ’Did I see him before?’ he wondered as he approached them.
