His Secret Heir His Deepest Regret novel Chapter 7

EVANDER

“Mr. Miyagi canceled the meeting at the very last second,” my assistant, Rui, said.

I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair. “Did they reschedule?” I asked.

The meeting was long overdue. Mr. Miyagi, a designer from Japan, was someone we couldn’t let go of. Astor Empires had just launched its luxury designer brand, and it has been entrusted to me by my dad.

Mr. Miyagi had expressed his interest to work with us, but the past two meetings didn’t go as planned.

Fortunately, Rui nodded. “Yes, sir,” he responded. “I believe his daughter is going to give birth, and he couldn’t miss it.”

I held in the urge to click my tongue. Why was everyone having children nowadays? It was like the world was mocking me for not being able to produce an heir.

“Anyway, what’s the next agenda?” I asked, glancing at my watch.

“Nothing, sir,” Rui said. “You have a meeting after lunch with your dad and the Maison family. You can go back then.”

I sighed and shook my head. My dad called for that useless meeting once again. “Whatever,” I muttered. “I’m heading out then.”

Rui seemed hesitant, but with one look from me, he merely nodded. With that, I grabbed my keys and went to the parking lot to take my most modest car.

I knew that my sister wouldn’t like me making a scene in her workplace.

“It’s been a while,” I muttered with a small smile.

It has been two? Maybe three months since I last visited Ellie. After she left our family, my parents didn’t want anything to do with her. However, we still shared a bond as siblings, so I visit her from time to time–much to her dismay.

I went to a drive-through to get some food. Ellie would also hate if I visited her empty handed.

I arrived at the humble place–Sunflower Daycare. I waved at the guard, and he immediately recognized me. He bowed and gestured for me to lead myself inside.

I opened my phone and texted Ellie to alert her of my presence. However, she wasn’t responding.

“They’re going to have recess soon,” I muttered, knowing she was probably still teaching so she couldn’t attend to her phone.

Just then, I felt the call of nature, so I decided to go to the restroom while waiting for her. Although I hadn’t been here many times, I already knew the routes in the back of my mind.

I walked to the men’s restroom and sighed when I found it was occupied. Why was it that they only had one restroom for their male faculty? I shook my head and crossed my arms over my chest.

Just then, the door opened. I was fully expecting a fully grown adult man to be standing in front of me. However, much to my surprise, I had to glance down to see who it was.

A small kid?

However, that wasn’t the only case. I had to take a step back since it felt like I was looking at a reflection of myself. Well, my child form, that is.

I found myself unable to speak as I continued to look at him. For some reason, my heart stopped for a second. However, with his utterance, I was brought back to reality.
