After divorce I am a billionaire novel Chapter 1038

Chapter 1038 I'll Take You Away from Home

Anthony helped the little one put his hand back under the covers and took out a gift box containing a four-wheel drive car. He quietly placed it on the bedside table while his son slept soundly, not even stirring. He gently stroked his son's small head with affection when suddenly, his phone in his pocket vibrated.

It was Zack calling.

Anthony immediately straightened up and after tucking in the little one, he left the room as quietly as possible to answer the call.

Zack quickly got to business and said, "Mr. Callahan, those twin brothers' parents are high-ranking executives at CloudTop Group. Their father is a project director while their mother holds shares in the company..."

Zack reported all of what he had found out to Anthony in detail.

Anthony listened intently without saying anything for quite some time as he pondered over this new information. That couple was just an ordinary wealthy family who were not supposed to offend the Callahan family by any means. It wasn't a secret that he had been stripped of his position as head of Security Agency and sent to serve time in prison. Most of Suham's upper-class families knew about it too. But since taking control of the Callahan family and sitting at its helm, almost no one dared bring up old issues with him anymore.

Did that couple intentionally or unintentionally bring these matters before Alistair?

"Mr. Callahan?"

Zack called out from the other end of the line which interrupted Anthony's thoughts.

He came back to reality and ordered sternly, "Keep investigating! Also check on those twins' hospital records. Everything except for what was provided by the kindergarten: ambulance footage during transport, diagnosis records – I want them all."

"Understood."

The next day Alistair took off from the school. There was no need for him at the kindergarten either. Molly still had military training going on which got cancelled due to heavy rain, so she decided she would come over alone with her driver and look for Alistair at Callahan Residence.

As she crossed over through the Callahan family garden's rockery and streamlet, she saw little Alistair sitting alone under a tree lost deep into thought.

"Milk Tofu, what are you thinking about?"

She nudged him slightly on his shoulder before sitting down beside him and casually leaning against him.

Alistair blinked those beautiful blue eyes several times, feeling much better now that Molly arrived,

"Momo! Yesterday was my birthday but you didn't come?"

"Both my mom and dad came with me but we were stopped outside your house because the old Mrs. Callahan said you weren't feeling well so they sent us away."

As soon as Alistair mentioned last night, he hung his head in defeat and looked unhappy.

Molly noticed his low mood and asked, "What's wrong?"

Alistair replied with a naive tone, "Did Uncle Malcolm use to beat you up often before?"

"Yeah, I was pretty rebellious back then. I always liked to argue with him and would make him so angry that his face turned black. Hahaha."

Molly laughed out loud while reminiscing about her past achievements with pride.

Alistair sat cross-legged and asked again, "Was Uncle Malcolm really tough on you?"

"Most of the time it was like tickling. He had a fierce expression but didn't hit hard at all. Plus my mom would stop him if it got too much. My dad always listened to my mom's words, and worst case scenario, my brother would protect me."

Alistair listened enviously and also wanted a gentle mother who was beautiful and could control his father just like Molly's mother did for her family.

When Alistair felt downcast again, Molly pinched his soft cheek gently and asked teasingly, "Why are you suddenly asking about this? Did your dad beat you up again?"

He did get beaten up badly! If it weren't for Paloma coming back in time to stop it, he might not have survived.

But he knew that he was partly at fault for what happened. "I got into a fight myself. And accidentally made them to the hospital which is way overboard."

Molly exclaimed in surprise, "To the hospital? No way! Milk Tofu, I never knew your fighting skills are so strong!" She looked at him differently now with curiosity.

"Come on, let's fight each other now! Let me see how good you are!" she challenged playfully while sizing him up.

But Alistair shook his head firmly, "Dad said as a little gentleman one should never bully girls."

Even if he could win against Molly in a fight, he wouldn't do it!

Molly chuckled lightly then pinched his chubby cheeks once more, "I'm actually studying at Junior Military Academy. Don't think just because you learned some basic Taekwondo moves, it means you can beat me."
