Chapter 163 Is That My Dad


    In Rosie''s hospital room, a group of business-d individuals was gathered around her bed, three men and two women, as Rosie delegated tasks.


    "Did everyone get that clearly?" Rosie, though primarily stationed at a branch office for thest two years and seldom at headquarters, had kept strong ties at headquarters, particrly with the senior staff. The group present included five top executives from the Harper Group''s headquarters. Among them was a man in his forties, the technical director responsible for automotive manufacturing


    The two women, both about thirty, held significant positions: one as head of thepany''s secretariat and the other as the public rtions manager. The remaining two men managed different departments. They were all tasked with various responsibilities for Brenna''s uing lecture at the Harper Group.


    These five had been promoted by Rosie via the board of directors, earning her their loyalty and quick response


    to her calls.


    "We understand," they assured Rosie earnestly.


    Just as Rosie was about to dismiss them, her phone buzzed with a new message. She opened it casually but then stared at it in disbelief, zooming in on each photo, her face breaking into a delighted grin. “I can''t believe Brenna has a child this age!" she eximed.


    The Harper Group executives leaned closer to her to see the photos curiously.


    "Unbelievable!" the head of the secretariat eximed in shock. "I thought she was inexperienced in love during her award eptance speech. Turns out that is not the case at all."


    The other female executive was equally taken aback. "This is perfect! We can use this to our advantage. If this news breaks before her lecture tomorrow, would she be ousted?"


    Rosie, thrilled by the prospects, quickly began crafting a more borate scheme. "What an excellent turn of events! We need to adjust our strategy now. I doubt Brenna will bring her child to the lecture tomorrow. Listen to me. We need to discreetly disy a photo of her and her child during her lecture so that everyone


    can see


    the real her..."


    Brenna, Ellie, and Patrick arrived at the expansive Bayview Apartments.


    Julia and two maids had already tidied the apartment and arranged some essentials.


    They awaited downstairs to assist with the luggage.


    Brenna instructed Julia, "Please ensure everything is in order and prepare a few dishes..."


    She was aware that after a twenty-hour flight, Ellie was probably starving. On top of that, the food abroad was so different from what they had at home, and Ellie frequentlyined about it, always craving the familiar

    tastes of home.


    As Brenna thought about what dishes to prepare, Ellie interjected, "Just any home-cooked dishes will do Im tired of foreign food. I just want to eat something and sleep."


    Patrick made a face of displeasure. "Mommy, but I want to go out and y!


    Ellie gently tapped her son''s cheek. "Let Brenna take you out to y. I need to catch some sleep"


    She then said to Brenna, "Patrick was so bored on the ne that he slept the entire way, but I was up working I had a client who was pressing me, so I spent the flight working on a design draft. By the time wended, i sent it off to the studio to start on the samples. I''m exhausted because of that. You need to take care of Patrick


    for me now."


    Brenna sympathized with Patrick, patting his head. "Poor thing, you must have suffered a lot living with your mom abroad. Your mom doesn''t know how to cook, so you must have eaten a lot of fast food."


    Patrick nodded earnestly. "She really can''t cook, but she did take me to nice restaurants when she had time.


    It''s not so bad."


    Brenna left some instructions with Julia to ensure Ellie was well taken care of. Then, she and Patrick headed out. Shirie was home to many amusement parks for children, and she nned to take him to one.


    When Brenna returned that evening with Patrick, she discovered Julia and the others had already returned to the Harper family''s home, and Ellie was sound asleep.


    She gave a helpless shrug and said to Patrick, "Looks like you have to go home with me now. Don''t worry. The chef at my home makes fantastic food."


    Just as they were about to leave, Brenna''s phone rang-it was Ethan calling.


    Brenna hadpletely forgotten their dinner ns.


    She decided to take Patrick to the restaurant with her. Ethan had been waiting for her at the entrance for more


    than half an hour.


    "Wow, Mommy, is that my dad? He looks so cool!" Patrick eximed as he spotted the tall, casually dressed Ethan, who looked effortlessly stylish, exactly how Patrick had imagined his father would look like.


    He added, "Mommy, my dad is so handsome! Did you bring me here to see him?”


    He released Brenna''s hand and dashed towards Ethan.


    "You look so much like me. Are you my dad?" He hugged Ethan''s leg tightly,


    looking up at his face. The more he stared, the more he saw the resemnce between Ethan and himself, convinced they looked nearly the


    same.
