Chapter285
Maureen’s heart twisted with conflicting emotions upon hearing this.
How did Ethan find the estate? Why did Heather let him stay?
Did Heather know something?
“Justin, please take me to the estate.”
Maureen couldn’t wait any longer.

Ethan had been cooped up in the hospital too long. He hadn’t rushed back, assuming Mommy and his deadbeat dad would stay at the estate a day or two.
Glancing at Heather–exhausted from his demands last night and now asleep–he let the maid take him out for a walk.
“Jacob? What are you doing here?”
A young voice suddenly rang out.
Ethan heard someone calling him and turned around to see Willie.
He looked puzzled: who is this little brat?
Willie walked up to him: “Jacob, what’s wrong?
Why are you ignoring me?”
So he knows my brother.
Ethan glanced at him impatiently.
“What do you want?”
His babyish voice was very different from Jacob’s serious tone, leaving Willie stunned.
“Jacob, why are you acting so girly all of a sudden?”

Ethan’s face darkened: You’re the girly one, your whole family is girly.
“But the way you talk is actually kind of cute.”
Willie chuckled, “You came to play with me, right?
I’ll take you around. In the Sutton Family, there’s no place I don’t know.”
Ethan found this strange.
“What do you mean, no place you don’t know?”
“I’m Willic, the only direct grandson of the Sutton Family. Did you forget?”
Willie said proudly.
Willie…
Ethan pondered the name and soon remembered.
My brother said that our scumbag dad’s cousin has a son, named something like ‘Fei‘…
Oh. so it’s him.
Ethan sized up the pinkish, decent–looking boy in front of him, who seemed a bit dumb.
“Oh. I remember now.”
After saying that, Ethan walked past him directly: “Nothing important, don’t bother me.”
Willie watched Ethan’s small figure walking away, looking defeated.
Why is Jacob suddenly ignoring me?
Did I do something wrong?

Willie, unwilling to give up, chased after him: “Jacob, how about I let you play with my dad’s new model airplane?”
“No.”
Ethan felt that Willie in front of him was just a stumbling block hindering his progress.
He still needed to learn more about the Sutton family.
“Stop following me, or I’ll hit you.”

Ethan threatened.

Willie instantly recalled the unpleasant memories from before, immediately stopped, and watched Ethan leave.
He went back dejectedly and told his mom Kathleen about today’s events.
Ethan wandered around the Sutton family’s old mansion all morning and found it really huge and extremely luxurious.
He secretly vowed that when he grew up, he would build an even bigger house than this.
Ethan, exhausted, was driven back by the driver.
Unbeknownst to him, Maureen had also rushed over and asked Heather sternly: “Where’s the child?”
Katherine
Heather had been up all night, well over fifty and exhausted. “Do you mean Ethan?”
Maureen finally realized she’d mistaken Steven for Ethan.
“Yes, where is he?”
Heather found it odd. Why was Maureen here when Katherine hadn’t even come looking for the child?
Too tired to think deeper, she was about to call the maid.
Unexpectedly, Ethan appeared at the doorway.
Ethan froze when he saw Maureen, never expecting his mom to find him here.
He ducked his head, not daring to make a sound.
Spotting her son, Maureen felt her tension ease. She rushed over, scooped him up, and headed
out.
She walked so briskly she missed Heather’s strange look.
“Jacob… Maureen…”
Heather turned to her secretary. “Didn’t you report Katherine never had children abroad?”
The secretary nodded.

If the child wasn’t Katherine’s, could he be Maureen’s?
Her mind raced.
“Have someone tail Maureen. Investigate her relationship with that boy thoroughly.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
The secretary immediately set to work.
Inside the car.
Ethan kept his head down, not daring to speak.

Maureen had never been this furious or worried before. She didn’t question Ethan, waiting for him to speak first.
Geoffrey was also in the car and told Wayne to call off the search.
After returning home and when Geoffrey went to work,
Ethan started whining: “Mommy, I’m sorry. I missed you and Uncle Geoffrey so much that I went looking for you.”
He turned on the charm to apologize.
Before, whenever he apologized, Mommy would soften and forgive him.
But this time, Maureen’s expression remained cold.
Ethan panicked, unsure what to do. He considered going upstairs to beg Grandma.
But before he took two steps, Maureen spoke: “Stop right there.”
Ethan froze obediently in place.
“Mommy, I really know I was wrong.”
“Was it just about seeing me and Uncle Geoffrey?”
Maureen suddenly asked.
Ethan’s beautiful eyes widened in alarm: “Mommy, I’m sorry. I messed up.
Maureen looked at his slightly pale face but didn’t relent.
