Johny was surprised.

He had suspected Jack or Henry, but he had missed Mike.

"I forgot him."

Johny's eyes were icy cold. Back then, he had driven the Morris Group to the verge of bankruptcy. However, Mary was pregnant, and Jack extended a helping hand to the Morris family. At the same time, he had to cope with the Eagle Group and the Winsor Group, so he let go of Mike.

However, Mike in turn kidnapped his son.

"Very good. I'll let the Morris Group go bankrupt in a month," Johny said firmly.

Ceres held Swedum in her arms and pressed her face against his.

Ever since Swedum was born, he had become the center of Ceres's life. He was both her armor and her Achilles' heel.

"Mommy, you hugged me so tightly. I can't breathe."

Ceres let go of Swedum and said, "Sorry, Swedum. I have been worried about you. Thank God that you're back."

It was a long night for her. Ceres felt like someone who just had a narrow escape from the grip of death.

"Mommy, you should thank Daddy."

Ceres's smile froze on her face.

"Mommy, do you know? Daddy is so brave. He fought with those bad guys. He is my superman! But Daddy is injured."

"He is injured?" Ceres was shocked.

"Yes, Daddy is injured." Swedum adjusted into a more comfortable posture in Cere's arms, "Mommy, we should thank Daddy. Although you are apart now, Daddy still saved me. We owe him." Ceres nodded reluctantly. It was true that she wanted nothing to do with Johny, but she should visit him and say thank you for what he had done.

"Okay, when you get better, we will visit him."

"Nice!" Swedum nodded vigorously.

Swedum fell asleep in Ceres's warm embrace. He could finally have a proper sleep.

Listening to her son's even breathing, Ceres let out a long sigh of relief.

Her cell phone suddenly rang. Ceres muted it and tucked Swedum in. Then, she went out to answer the phone.

"Hello."

"Miss Ceres, I have sorted out the information. We can set the details and then file the lawsuit."

Ceres hesitated, "I've been absorbing in other issues these days. Shall I call you some days later?" "Okay."

Hanging up the phone, Ceres stood there for a long time with the phone in her hand.

In the last phase, she got cold feet to divorce Johny.

She didn't know what was wrong with her.

She turned around and found Kirs standing behind her, smiling gently at her.

"Ceres, I made some porridge. You haven't eaten anything for the whole night. Go have some or your stomach will hurt." "Thank you, Kirs."

"Don't mention it. Where's Swedum? Did he go to bed? I'll look after him while you eating the porridge."

"He's asleep. Leave him there."

"Alright, then I'll go to the company. You can take a day off. Have a good rest. Feel free to call me when you need." Ceres nodded.

Kirs left.

Two days later, Ceres, pestered by Swedum, finally brought him to Johny. She called Johny in advance and asked him out.

She did not want to go to Johny's house because it would remind her of their past.

In a family restaurant, they finally reunited.

"Daddy, are you getting better?" Once they met, Swedum asked Johny with great concern.

"I'm fine now."

"Thank you for saving Swedum."

Even with Kirs's words, Ceres still believed in Johny's probity.

"Swedum is also my son. I only did what I should do." Johny stared at Ceres.

Under the burning gaze, Ceres lowered her head.

"Daddy, you are really amazing. You beat those valines with a few punches and kicks. I have never seen such impressive martial art before!" Swedum looked at Johny with admiration.

"Do you want to learn? I can teach you."

"Sure! Cool! I have a lot to learn from Daddy!" Swedum had become Johny's little fan and Ceres almost could see stars glistening in his eyes. After that, Swedum talked with Johny about artificial intelligence.

Ceres felt helpless. Swedum had never asked Kirs these questions, albeit that Kirs was an expert in this field.

After the meal, Swedum wanted to play the slide in the restaurants.

Johny sent bodyguards to protect him.

Johny and Ceres were left alone in the room.

It was kind of awkward.

"I've already found out who kidnapped Swedum. It's Mike."

"Mike?" Ceres was very surprised.

"Yes, the Morris Group was about to go bankrupt but was saved by Jack to appease Mary, who got pregnant at that time. The Morris all place their hopes on Mary's child, Brice. So, Swedum is a threat in their eyes."

Johny looked down and said, "In the end, it's still because of me. But don't worry, I won't let Mike get away with it."

Ceres understood what Johny meant. He was probably preparing to attack the Morris Group. However, she did not understand why Johny talked about the Winsor family as if he was not one of them. After the meal, Ceres proposed to go home, and Johny did not detain her.

He had someone send Ceres and Swedum home.

They stood at the door and found that the lights were on.

"Mommy, I remember you turned off the lights when we left! Is there a thief at home?" Swedum lowered his voice.

"I don't think so. How can a thief turn on the lights while stealing?" However, Ceres lowered her voice and quietly opened the door.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
