Chapter 2260
"Holden." Isadora called out.
She found that it was easier for her to call him Holden, to begin with. Elsa, even more so, did not have much of an opinion on her son's name because her son had been stolen from her before she had the time to name him back then. As long as she was still able to see her child, why did it not matter what her son's name was?
"Holden, my child, wash your hands and let's eat," Elsa gently called out.
"Alright, Mom," Holden said with a smile. He felt very relieved. From then on, he would no longer have any more worries. He would no longer have those nightmares of being entangled, blackmailed, slandered, and defamed. However, he really had to thank a person, even though that person was the true culprit.
While they were eating, Holden said to his mother, "Mom, I have a request, and I hope you don't blame me for it."
His mother smiled calmly. "My child, I understand. That man and I are not fated, but he is your biological father, after all. If he didn't step in and testify this time, it wouldn't be that easy for US to deal with the Payne family. So, you should go and thank your father."
Vireo nodded. "Mom, you're the most understanding woman in this world. Don't worry, I will only be going to thank him. I still have a grudge against him, and it's impossible for me to get close to him in this life. That's because he is the culprit and everything started with him."
"Mm-hmm." Elsa also nodded. "I'll respect your opinion."
She would not stop her child from getting to know his biological father. She also would not put her child in a difficult position and force him to admit that the powerful man was his father. It would be best for everything to develop naturally.
Holden went to Sean's house early in the morning the following day. He was working the afternoon shift that day, and he did not have any operations scheduled as well. After he had breakfast early in the morning, he left the house in his car. It took him an hour and a half to drive from the upscale neighborhood downtown where he was staying to the Ford family's luxurious mansion in the suburbs. He had to go through several places along the way, and one of them was the largest train station in South city.
It was such a coincidence that when he drove by the train station, Vireo saw the five members of the Payne family standing at the intersection leading to the train station. Each of them was looking incomparably hopeless. At that moment, it was right in the middle of the morning rush hour, and Vireo's car was also right at the intersection.
As he sat in the car with his window slightly opened, he was even able to hear what the five members of the Payne family were talking about.
"Chloe, what should we do now? We didn't even have the money to stay in the hotel yesterday. The debt collectors in our hometown are also aggressively on our tails. We're at the train station now. The three of you should make a decision on whether we're going home or going somewhere else." That was Lucius' voice.
