“I shouldn’t have believed online rumors and misunderstood you.”

“Why did you run away from school?”

“I…”

“You came to confront me, didn’t you? What did you do?”

Liam avoided his eyes, twisting his small hands nervously.

“Speak.”

Elias‘ voice rose sharply.

Tears rolled down Liam’s chubby cheeks.

Miles, Jason, and Chloe stumbled and fell together in fright.

Elias rushed over and picked up his daughter.

She wrapped her arms around his neck. “Daddy, Liam said sorry.”

“Did it hurt?”

“Yes, really hurt.”

“Let Daddy see. I’ll blow it better.”

Elias‘ stern look vanished completely.

Stella helped the two boys up and sat them on the sofa once she saw they were unhurt.

“Daddy, I took… the punishment for Liam.”

“You took his punishment?”

“It hurt a lot. That’s enough punishment.”

Elias couldn’t say no to her tearful eyes.

“Daddy, kiss. Then you won’t be mad.”

Mua!

The serious Elias broke into a warm smile.

“Chloe, do you think Daddy is a bad man?”

She shook her head. “The internet is bad. It lies”

She squirmed down and tapped the tablet angrily.

“We’re sorry, Uncle Elias. We thought you were bad too.”

Jason and Miles apologized together.

“It’s good that you wanted to protect your aunt. I’m not angry. But always find out the truth first before judging.”

“Yes, Daddy.”

Stella felt sorry for him. “Is that too harsh?”

He was too young to tell truth from lies. He only wanted to protect her.

“He didn’t even think before doubting me.”

Elias had carried Liam everywhere since birth. The media called him his shadow.

He was strict, but he never thought his son would believe he cheated.

“Liam is my protector. He meant well.”

She held his hand gently. “He’s little. We can’t judge him like an adult. We have to teach him slowly.”

“What about my feelings? I was hurt too.”

Stella froze, then smiled.

She leaned close to his car.

“Honey, I’ll be on top tonight. How about that?”

Elias‘ heart raced. His eyes lit up, but he pretended to be calm.

“Only that?”

“More.”

“What else?”

“Secret.”

Elias was completely softened.

They watched Liam running outside.

Elias frowned deeper.

“What? Still upset?”

Stella kissed his cheek and stroked his forehead smooth.

“Yes.”

When had he become so sensitive?

Maybe he was too attached to the kids. He raised them most, yet they were closer to her.

“Honey, you work so hard. I’ll wash your back tonight.”

“Shower together?”

Stella glanced around, blushing, and nodded.

Elias stopped teasing.

“Stella, do you believe a five–year–old could hack Cross Group’s firewall?”

“You think Liam did it?”

“He had a reason. He was gone at the time. The signal was near Sunny Side Preschool

“He’s only five.”

“I won competitions at five. You were a genius by seven. Do you think our son would be ordinary?”

“But Cross Group has top engineers… and you.”

“I suspect someone called X, the top hacker worldwide for three months. Only he could break in that fast.”

“You suspect X… and Liam? Don’t tell me you think they’re the same person.”

Elias said nothing. He had a strong feeling he was right.
