Hendrix was a little surprised, "Now you want to know his identity?"
All these years, Hendrix had been trying to mention that in an inexplicit way. No matter what, that man was Edmond's father. So Hendrix wanted to know who that man was.
This was an explanation to Edmond.
No one would hope he didn't know his father.
But Everly always refused to mention it again. Hendrix could understand her. She felt that she was very irresponsible back then. Later, she was pregnant. She took pains to decide whether she should give birth to the baby.
It would be ruthless to have an abortion. But if she gave birth to it, it seemed like he couldn't have father love.
Soon it had been a long time. She didn't want to know who that man was because she couldn't face it.
What kind of man was he? It was a question without an answer to both Edmond and her.
"Just now..." Everly sighed at the thought of the conversation between Edmond and Maverick, "I think I’ve ignored Edmond's feelings. He must be dying to have a father. After all, he is still a little boy. I can't avoid that matter anymore."
"I agree with you. And I support your decision." Hendrix nodded.
"You told me you knew something, right?"
"Edmond told me in private that he wanted me to help him find his father. You were so repulsive at that time, so I didn't tell you the details." Hendrix continued, "You were on your business trip when Edmond asked me to do that. So I got someone to investigate."
Everly was quiet for a moment before asking, "What did you get?"
Hendrix paused for a few seconds before saying, "It's not good news, but at least there are some clues. Many of the staff in that hotel had left. But some cleaners still work there. My men asked a middle-aged woman when they investigated it. She said she still remembered something about what happened that year."
"Tell me the details."
"She said that the woman kept pulling the man. Originally, she had thought that they were young lovers who were drunk. Later, they found it was not like that. Because the man looked indifferent and icy. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looking very gentle. At that time, the staff thought that the man must have the woman drink. He took her to a room. And later, she heard the woman saying ... Well, You have no idea about what you said?"
Everly's face immediately flushed red. She was still very embarrassed even if it was Hendrix.
"Well ... skip this. Tell me something valuable." She looked away, "You know what I look like when I'm drunk."
"Anyway, judging from the staff’s words, the man was at your age. Now it's only five years, so maybe he is still single."
Everly could not help but roll her eyes, "Many people get married and even have children in their twenties."
"The staff had worked there for many years, so she had seen many rich people. She said that the man looked rich. The watch on his wrist was worth tens of millions."
Everly frowned, "She is just a cleaner. How could she know famous watches? Maybe it's a knockoff."
"It seems you don't want the man you slept with to be a handsome, rich guy." Hendrix laughed.
"Hendrix!" Everly got embarrassed. "Stop saying that. It's very embarrassing."
Hendrix stopped teasing her, "Fine! You are thick-skinned enough to do that. The cleaner said that her poor husband liked to study watches. A few years ago, their family had a business in the watch industry, but it seemed they declined. Anyway, she wouldn't lie. It was a diamond watch. She wouldn't mistake it. I went to find the watch she described. Five years ago, a limited edition B series watched did hit the market. This one should belong to that series."
Hendrix took out his phone and showed the picture to Everly.
"This watch is not on sale now. So I found it quickly. Moreover, only a few pieces came into the market back then. Anyway, I can find him."
Hendrix put away his phone and touched his chin. He smiled and said, "He's quite rich. To be honest, I wanted to buy this watch before, but it was hard to get. Everly, I'm very interested in him now. I must find him."
Everly was speechless, "You are interested in him? Hendrix, pay attention to your words."
