Chapter 593: Chapter 593: Could it be a case of wrongly acknowledging the father?
The secrets of The Big Eight families were not known to them.
But the basic information that Adrian Zhekova and Morgan Zhekova were father and son was not missed by the Lanarn Training Ground.
So when they saw Morgan among the children, they weren’t surprised at all.
Hence the ones surprised at the wedding were only those invited by Charlotte York.
They saw a stranger, Morgan, among several familiar children.
Someone asked, “Whose child is that? I’ve never seen him before.”
“I don’t know. Whose family has a new child?”
“That can’t be, those who are married only have so many children, and that child is already so big, he couldn’t be newly added.”
While they were talking, the Old Master Zhekova, Old Madam, Maverick Zhekova and Victoria Wheeler entered together.
The young ones all stood up out of respect for their elders.
After they greeted everyone, they went straight to Morgan.
Morgan saw them and quickly ran out from the crowd of children.
“Great Grandfather, Great Grandmother!” Morgan called while running.
Since they were still a bit far away, he made sure to call out loud enough for them to hear.
Now, many people heard him.
Following the two elders were Maverick Zhekova and Victoria Wheeler.
Maverick Zhekova peeked his head out from behind his father, smiling amiably, “And us too?”
“Grandfather! Grandmother!” Morgan halted in front of the elders.
The kid seemed confused.
Because he didn’t know whose arms he should jump into.
No matter who he decided to go to, the other three would certainly be jealous.
Who can blame them for wanting his adorable attention.
Being so cute and so lovable comes with its problems too!
Morgan held his forehead, slightly overwhelmed.
The Old Master was waiting for Morgan to run into his arms.
Who knew the child would actually stop.
“Ahem!” the Old Master cleared his throat as a hint for Morgan.
It was time for him to jump into his arms!
The old man could handle it!
And many guests who didn’t know the story were taken aback.
“What is that child calling the Old Master Zhekova and the Old Madam?”
“Great Grandfather, Great Grandmother, did I hear that right?”
“You heard right, he even called the Family Head Zhekova and the Head Mother as Grandfather and Grandmother.”
“And this child belongs to the Zhekova Family?”
“Who in the Zhekova family had a new child? I didn’t hear about it.”
“On the Old Master’s side, there’s only Adrian Zhekova… it couldn’t be another family, considering the child is older.”
“And moreover, if it was from another family, he wouldn’t call them Grandfather and Grandmother.”
People who didn’t know the truth quietly speculated.
Morgan, responding to the Old Master’s cue, felt even more uneasy.
Because the Old Madam was also eagerly watching him!
The child felt troubled and wanted to ask Christopher Smith for help.
Morgan was so hesitant that he didn’t dare to meet the eyes of the Old Master and the Old Madam.
As his gaze shifted, he suddenly noticed Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke appeared at the entrance of the Banquet hall.
They were about to enter.
Like seeing his saviors, the boy shouted, “Daddy! Mommy!”
After calling out, the boy sprinted towards Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke.
The Old Master and Old Madam watched as a small figure flashed past before their eyes.
They followed the figure with their eyes.
The boy was like a ball, rolling towards his destination at lightning speed.
Adrian Zhekova was startled.
Since when had the boy been so enthusiastic about seeing him?
Meanwhile, the crowd who didn’t know the truth froze in their tracks.
Some of them hadn’t settled into their seats yet, given the number of guests at the event.
There were familiar friends and reputable strangers who they could get to know better.
Exchanging contacts and making more friends was always a good thing.
So, the venue was extraordinarily lively.
The guests were bustling about, moving amongst the crowd.
However, because of Morgan’s shouts, the bustling stopped.
Regardless of whether they knew the truth, everyone quieted down.
They all stopped their movements, simply standing still.
Everyone’s attention was on Morgan.
Those who knew the truth were relatively calm, just watching.
Their main concern was avoiding a collision with the little boy.
Due to the height difference, Morgan was quite small which created a blind spot for the adults.
It was easy to bump into him.
So, everyone stayed still.
But those who didn’t know the truth were wide-eyed in amazement.
Who was this boy calling Daddy?
Looking at the direction the boy was running in, wasn’t that Adrian Zhekova?
Could he really be Adrian Zhekova’s son!
Where did Adrian get such a grown son!
And where was the child’s mother?
Just now, it seemed the boy was also calling for his mommy.
The crowd couldn’t help but set their sights on Cindy Clarke.
Because at this moment, she was standing right next to Adrian Zhekova.
Moreover, they were holding hands.
The mommy that the boy mentioned, was it this lady next to Adrian?
Not only the unknowing guests.
Even the people of The Big Eight families and the Lanarn Training Ground were curiously looking at Cindy Clarke.
Because many of them had not met Cindy Clarke.
The people from Lanarn Training Ground had seen her photo.
But a photo can’t compare to a real person.
All at once, everyone in the room fell silent.
Adrian Zhekova noticed this, but he didn’t mind.
Cindy Clarke also noticed.
There were many guests here today, such a big banquet hall, such a grand scene.
Normally, Cindy wouldn’t be uncomfortable.
But today was different.
Today, she officially appeared as Adrian’s wife.
This was the first time she appeared at a public event as Adrian’s wife, daughter-in-law of the Zhekova family.
She couldn’t disgrace Adrian.
So many people were watching!
And as Adrian said, many people in the Zhekova family still had their eye on the position Adrian was going to inherit.
Even at this wedding, although those people were not present, they would definitely still learn about the event.
Therefore, even though they hadn’t met, Cindy couldn’t let anyone find a fault.
Right now, though, Cindy was focusing on Morgan who was running towards her.
Morgan was focused on heading towards Adrian and Cindy, not noticing the sudden silence in the air.
Just before he reached them, he slowed down a bit.
He was debating in his mind about who he should hug, Adrian or Cindy.
But this time, he wasn’t as conflicted as before.
Morgan quickly made a decision.
“Daddy!” Calling out as if they were family, Morgan directly hugged Adrian’s leg.
Adrian Zhekova: “…”
People who didn’t know the truth looked at Adrian’s reaction and thought it didn’t look like he was seeing his son at all.
They wondered, could this child be wrongly calling someone Daddy?
