His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 546

The receptionist who saw Charlie up close said that she rather suspected the little boy was Mr. Lu's illegitimate child.

Her comments were strongly rebuked by Charles' fans until Coco posted the photo of the boy in the group chat. Then everybody fell silent.

'There's no denying the boy's paternity. He is the exact mirror image of Mr. Lu.' Everyone who saw the photo would be hard put denying the evidence of their own eyes.

"How could this be? How did Mr. Lu managed to conceal a son of his age?" Alice and David, who were working closely with Charles every day, had no idea that Charles was hiding a skeleton in his closet. The photo was enough proof that the boy could be nothing else but their boss' son.

Looking puzzled, David scratched his chin absent-mindedly. "That's impossible. Mrs. Lu has been dead for more than three years…"

The origin of the boy was a big mystery for both of them. Alice gasped suddenly, covering her mouth as an insane thought crossed her mind. "Could it be that the boy is Leila's son?" she asked unbelievingly.

Leila had been absent for a few days, which was unusual. Now their boss suddenly turned up at the company with a young boy who looked exactly like him. If the boy was really Leila and Charles' child, it added up.

As the next Mrs. Lu, Leila would have to resign from her job at Shining Company, so no need for her to report work anymore.

"Don't talk nonsense." Dismissing Alice's guess as bizarre, David scoffed and said,"How could Mr. Lu possibly have a child with Leila?"

In his opinion, Charles had always been a devoted husband to Mrs. Lu.

Looking at the boy in the photo, he was probably born while Autumn was still alive. David couldn't believe that his boss had an affair with Leila.

"But…" Alice knew her guess was reasonable knowing Leila had been infatuated with Charles from the beginning. She was about to argue with David, but she caught a glimpse of Charles carrying the little boy in his arms as he stepped into the office. She quickly swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Lu." They greeted Charles in unison with respect, but their eyes were glued to Charlie pointedly.

Anticipating his staff's reaction, Charles didn't bat an eye at their curious expression. "Charlie, dad's office is over there and dad is going to have a meeting in the Conference Room. You can wait for me at the office and play for a while. Is that okay?" he asked the boy softly, putting him down gently and pointing his fingers to the direction of his office.

"Okay, Dad," Charlie nodded politely and headed regally towards Charles' office, carrying his school bag. Once he was out of earshot, David asked Charles while looking directly at his eyes,"Dad?"

"Sorry, I don't have a son of your age," Charles replied humorously, seeming to be in a good mood. However, David still couldn't believe it. "Mr. Lu, please don't joke with me. How could you have a child of his age? How did you manage to keep him a secret all this time?" he said, looking baffled.

"I'm not kidding, David. He really is my son," Charles confirmed. "As you can see, he looks so much like me. It will be useless to deny that he is my son. Don't you think so?"

"But…how?" David persisted. The boy couldn't have come out of nowhere. "What about the mother?" he asked, going straight for the jugular. David had worked alongside Charles for a long time and had been one of his closest and most trusted employees. He felt he was at least entitled to an explanation.

Charles looked at David, his eyes devoid of expression before saying dryly,"It's Leila."

"What?" David asked, stunned. Alice, who was discreetly listening to their conversation, turned to David mockingly, her expression clearly said,"I told you so."
