Chapter 1483
Bryan sat up and scratched his head. “What are you talking about, Daddy? I don’t understand what you’re saying.” “You’re not
my son,” said Jeremy sternly.
Bryan was shocked. He could not hide the guilt on his face anymore.
Finally, he pouted and said, “Fine, I admit I’m not your son...”
Well, at least he’s honest,’ thought Jeremy. He raised an eyebrow and asked, “Why did you pretend to be my son? Did someone
put you up to it? Just what are you trying to achieve?”
Bryan shook his head quickly and put up his hands. “No, no! I’m not trying to achieve anything! I just thought you were very
handsome and fatherly. I don’t have a father, so I wanted to experience what it’s like to have one...”
For some reason, Jeremy could not help but feel a tug at his heart when he saw how pitiful and sincere Bryan looked.
All sorts of possibilities ran through his mind. For example, someone made the child look like Benjamin through an ancient art of
face disguise called Metamorph so he could spy on him and Sophia.
However, he found no trace of the child having undergone any physical changes. The child’s skin was as real as it could be.
Thus, Jeremy ruled out that possibility.
“When did you swap places with my son?” asked Jeremy, even though he knew the answer since he could remember the exact
moment he found out his son was acting weird. He just wanted confirmation.
Bryan spread out his hands. “Please, Mister, I didn’t mean to swap places with your son. It was all a coincidence. Last Saturday,
my Mommy took me, my brother, and my sister for a picnic, and it was then I saw someone
flying a cartoon kite I like... So I followed the kite to find out who it belonged to.
“It was then I saw the kid flying the kite, and he was wearing a cartoon mask. I went over to ask him where he bought the kite
and begged him to let me wear the cartoon mask for a while...
“After some sucking-up, he agreed to let me wear his cartoon mask. But my mother came to look for me as soon as I put on the
mask. I don’t know why, but she took the other kid away instead of me!
“I started chasing after her, but that lady Sophia grabbed me and told me I shouldn’t run off by myself...and then I saw you. After
that, I was brought back here... I swear that’s how everything happened.”
Jeremy thought back to everything that happened last Saturday. Benjamin went to pick up his cartoon kite, but he would not stop
crying after Sophia found him. He kept saying he wanted his ‘Mommy’, too.
‘So he was crying for his real mother and not Sophia, then. But how could another boy out there look exactly like my son? Do
doppelgangers exist?’
“Call your Mommy now and tell her where you are. Ask her to bring my son back and tell her also that I’m going to make her pay
if my son is hurt in any way,” said Jeremy after thinking it over.
Bryan frowned. “Don’t worry, Mister. My mommy is a super nice lady. Your son must really look like me for her to mistake him for
me. She’ll definitely treat him well since she thinks he’s me!”
Jeremy considered himself a cautious and suspicious person, but for some reason, he did not feel at all worried about the bizarre
situation.
