In his memory, that man and woman had been very well-matched—their interests and hobbies were similar, and they had a strong bond with each other. Unfortunately, their families were very against their relationship, and they could not get married. In the end, he had gone against everybody’s wishes and allowed them to get married.
“Cooper, thank you for blessing our marriage. Also, Celine and I would like that you name our future children, if possible.”
“Hmm… If it’s a boy, name him ‘Nathan’. Nathan as in ‘the gift of God’. If it’s a girl, name her ‘Esther’. The name is derived from the word ‘Aster’, a flower that blooms in Autumn. It also means ‘star’.”
“Okay. Thanks, Cooper.”
Could it be their child? Then, the man hurriedly asked Nathan, “Who is Celine Fletcher to you?”
Nathan was usually very quiet in front of strangers. Only in front of close friends and family would he occasionally act cute. Upon hearing the man’s question, he became upset. Thus, he turned around and ran off to the kitchen to check on the cured meat he hid here.
Linus smiled as he watched Nathan run off. “Speaking of which, that child is related to you too. His father is Justin Mitchell, and his mother is Celine Fletcher.” It was them after all… That young couple I unwittingly helped… Back then, they were only in their early twenties. I can’t believe their child is so big now.
Regrettably, Linus shook his head, and his demeanor abruptly became melancholic as he continued, “He lost his parents several years back. Right now, he is living with his uncle, Michael Fletcher, who is also known as Taylor Murray, the Best Actor Award winner.”
Michael Fletcher… Fass searched his memories, trying to find something about Michael. He had met Celine several times, but he didn’t have much of an impression of her brother. The only thing he could recall was that the Fletchers had a little kid.
After that, Linus went to the kitchen to look for Nathan. Meanwhile, Fass remained in the living room alone, watching TV. “Search for Mark Fletcher.” The words he said in a cold voice were captured by the robot, and it immediately pulled up the relevant news on the TV. Soon, an aged face appeared on the TV screen.
“The founding general, Mark Fletcher, appeared at the military parade. He remains full of energy at the age of a hundred.”
“The founding general, Mark Fletcher, appeared at a marathon.”
The Mark Fletcher that appeared on the TV was already a hundred years old. Even so, he was still as lively as a young man. Even though his 100th birthday was soon approaching, he seemed to be in good spirits and great health. Looking at the person on the TV, Fass smiled suddenly.
Later, Linus reported to him about some work matters. While he was listening intently, he suddenly felt a weight in his arms. A fat orange cat had jumped into his lap. Linus thought the man would get angry. After all, his impression was that the man had never raised a pet. Contrary to what he thought, Fass didn’t get angry. Petting the cat’s head, he looked at the collar it was wearing around its neck. “Chrysanthemum…”
“Meow!” Chrysanthemum answered. Acting like it knew him, it rubbed its head against the back of his hand.
Then, Linus hurriedly explained, “That’s the neighbor’s cat.”
All of a sudden, Fass reminisced about a cat he used to raise. Similar to this cat, its name was also ‘Chrysanthemum’ and it was a domestic orange cat too. Back then, he had left the cat with Mark because he didn’t dare to bring it home…
Fass was lost in his memories and Linus suddenly saw a small guy knocking on the gate outside the window. Thus, he immediately gave permission to open the door and allow Nicholas to enter.
Fass took a look at Nicholas’ configuration and felt extremely satisfied. He could tell at a glance that it was Linus’ handiwork! Only Linus could write such a perfect coding program and give it such a high level of intelligence. Teaching a genius like Linus is the greatest pride of my life!
