Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 499

Chapter 499 

Leo was totally gobsmacked. 

He never figured the big boss would care so much about a kid from God knows where. 

But he didn’t press on it. 

The next day, Jared was up at the crack of dawn and headed to Nocturne’s room. 

Sure enough, the kid was out like a light. 

Jared stood by the bed, staring at that little face fast asleep. 

He felt something, like a feather brushing gently against his heart. 

He had no idea where this weird feeling was coming from. 

He just looked at the kid, feeling a wave of warmth. 

Without realizing it, he was reminded of his own kid. 

He spent four crazy years searching everywhere possible, but he wasn’t even sure if his kid was still alive. 

If his kid was born, he’d be about the same age as Nocturne. 

Jared didn’t dare to think any further. 

He swallowed down his emotions, and scooped up the sleeping kid. 

When Jared walked into the company, the kid was snoozing on his shoulder. 

This was the overseas headquarters of the Tim Group. 

Over the years, the Tim Group has built up quite a portfolio here. 

Although Jafed wasn’t around here often, everyone in the company knew their CEO well. 

Even on a global scale, Jared was the name on everybody’s lips. 

So, every time he came, everyone was on their toes. 

When Jared walked into the building, he turned quite a few heads. 

But this time, it was different. 

The boss actually brought a little kid with him. 

The kid was asleep on his shoulder, looking so peaceful. 

Holy cow, the boss already has a kid! 

Leo was trailing behind Jared, glancing at the disappointed faces of those office ladies who were all geared up for a “chance” encounter with Jared. 

” 

He thought to himself, a lot of dreams are gonna be crushed today. 

Selina was the head of marketing, a real people person. She was originally a key player in the domestic market. 

After expanding into the international market, she was transferred here. 

When she saw Jared with a kid, she was both shocked and disappointed. 

She and Jared shared an elevator ride and exchanged greetings. 

When they got out of the elevator, Selina purposely slowed her steps, grabbed Leo, and asked, “Since when does the boss have such a big kid?” 

Leo just chuckled, “What makes you think that’s his kid?” 

“The child’s face looks exactly like boss’s. If he’s not his kid, whose kid could he be?” 

Selina, both disappointed and curious, asked, “Why didn’t he make this public? The boss isn’t engaged yet, is the kid his and his fiancée’s, or is it a love child?” 

Selina leaned in and asked, “Come on, spill the beans, is that the boss’s love child? Who’s the mother? Is it that actress Sharon from the rumors?”
