30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband novel Chapter 391

Isaac asked his question slowly, and Jason couldn’t help but grin wider. His son actually thought he was a robot. How adorable was that?

On the other end of the phone, Estrella was brushing her teeth, effortlessly spinning a tale, “Absolutely! Buddy, you’re my special robot! A unique creation of Science Innovations and TechGenius. Don’t worry! And yep, your uncle is indeed your dad—he's the chief of the robots.”

Estrella's whimsical stories made Autumn chuckle awkwardly. She turned to Jason, “Jason, don't mind her! Estrella has always been a bit out there, you know. So, Isaac has always thought he'd grow up to be Superman or maybe even Ultraman. He's really looking forward to it.”

Jason laughed, “Mom, it's fine. Estrella spinning these stories for Isaac is great. His childhood is going to be way more interesting than other kids’.”

Isaac, after hearing a few more of Estrella's tall tales, contentedly hung up the phone. Then, turning to Autumn, he said, “Grandma, Mom said I'm still a robot and that I can still save the world.”

“Of course, whatever your mom says is right,” Autumn replied, then glanced at Jason, “Jason, don't take it to heart! The kid is so gullible.”

Jason grinned, “Mom, I don't mind at all.”

He almost confessed to Autumn how incredibly naive and easy to fool their kid was!

After chatting with Jason, Autumn then addressed Isaac, “Isaac, now that you know he's your dad, you'll have to start calling him 'dad,' you know?”

“After all, even robots and Ultramen have dads.”

Hearing Autumn's words, Isaac shyly looked up at Jason, a bit embarrassed. He had that same spark as Estrella. Nevertheless, he promised Autumn, “I understand, Grandma.” Then, shyly, he called out to Jason, “Dad.”

Upon hearing Isaac call him dad, Jason's eyes welled up, quickly responding, “I'm here.”

Isaac, embarrassed, buried his face in Autumn's embrace. Jason, both surprised and touched, regretted missing out on these two years of Isaac's growth, feeling he owed both Isaac and Estrella. Then, turning to Autumn, he said, “Mom, thank you.”

Seeing Jason's emotional reaction, Autumn sighed, “In the end, it's my fault. So, Jason, you don't need to thank me. Regardless, I just hope you and Estrella can work things out and raise Isaac well.”

Jason nodded, “Mom, I will.”

The sound of Jason calling her “mom” was music to Autumn's ears, a reminder of the challenging years he'd faced. After their talk, Isaac looked up at her and asked, “Grandma, why didn't dad come back before? Why didn't you tell me?”

Isaac's voice was soft, his pace steady, clearly inheriting Estrella's easy-going nature. Autumn, slightly annoyed, explained, “It's because just like you, he was working at the Secret Service. You both had to keep things under wraps.”

To make sure Jason understood, she elaborated, “Isaac never talks about school or his friends. It's like he's training for a secret mission. That's why Estrella jokes he's attending the Secret Service Kindergarten.”

After seeing Isaac safely into the kindergarten, Jason dropped Autumn off at the Dorvold residence before heading back to freshen up with a shower and a change of clothes. Then, it was straight off to the office for him.

No sooner had he settled down at his desk than Drew knocked and entered, handing over a stack of documents. “Boss, here's the info on the car owner from yesterday. Turns out it was unrelated to Aiden. The guy was just distracted by his phone while driving.”

Taking the documents, Jason flipped through them and said, “Keith's team has rounded up eight people in total. Have someone check if there's any connection between them, see if we can dig up any leads.”

Drew replied, “Boss, we've already looked into it. None of them know each other. Some are just petty thugs. Keith is just trying to throw you off, make it impossible for you to get a solid lead.”

The things Aiden had done, Drew could only describe them as bizarre, a once-in-a-century level of weirdness. It was beyond words.

With a nonchalant flick, Jason tossed aside the documents. “Keep digging. Hold onto these pieces of evidence. Also, we've got experts coming over from Germany in the next few days. Have Big Mike handle the hospitality. We need to use whatever resources and methods available to wake Keith up.”

With Keith out cold, Jason was at a standstill, unable to extract any information. So, the search for a cure went on. Once Keith was awake, Jason was sure he'd find a way to deal with him. And all those absurd grievances? They'd settle those accounts in due time.

“Got it, boss,” Drew responded and promptly left to arrange everything.

It wasn't long before there was another knock on Jason's office door. Looking up to see who had entered, Jason smiled and set aside the files he was holding.
