The Heir's Secret Bride



Theo didn't think too much about it. He typed rapidly with his chubby hands on the computer keyboard, making crisp sounds.

"Out of the billions of people in the world, it's difficult to find Eric's location with just one photo." Will looked at the computer in front of him and pondered for a few seconds. Suddenly, his round eyes lit up. "I got it."

"Got what?" Theo asked.

"Theo, I want to create a web crawler. First, I want to filter out names that aren't 'Eric Sullivan. Then, I want to narrow down the search area to find our Eric. Wouldn't that be faster and less time-consuming?" Will explained.

Theo's eyes immediately popped. "I think it's so going to work! You are a genius, Will! You can start creating the crawler, and I'll continue to hack into the GPS."

"Sweet."

The two kiddos had a clear division of labor. They were on their own projects in no time, and it was a race against time.

With the help of Will's web crawler, they, indeed, saved a lot of time and effort. There were hundreds of people, who went by the name 'Eric Sullivan' in the world. After filtering out those profiles that didn't match, there were only a dozen or so left.

In the end, it was confirmed that the Eric they were looking for was currently volunteering in a backward village in Creynia!

Theo was also very helpful. Right when Eric's identity information was confirmed, Theo located Eric's exact location and even extracted his phone number.

Will quickly dialed the number.

However, Eric treated Will's request as a prank. He told him not to cause trouble for no reason and warned that he wouldn't treat Will lightly even if the latter was a child. Eric hung up right after he finished his sentence.

He had decided to ignore the call if Will were to call again.

As soon as Will hung up, Theo clenched his fists and said furiously, "Since he didn't appreciate our polite invitation, don't blame me for giving him a hard time!"

"What are you going to do?"

"I want to hire a mercenary team to go to Creynia and kidnap him!" Theo jumped off the sofa aggressively and was about to walk out.

He was about to engage someone with surreptitious professions.

When Will heard this, he quickly clutched Theo's arm. "Wait! Don't be rash! If we do it too forcefully, it might cause Eric to be hostile. It's not good for Mommy!"

Theo pursed his lips unwillingly. Just as he was about to ask Will if he had any good ideas, Will calmly suggested, "If you are thinking of kidnapping, kidnap his family. When we have this leverage, he will have to think twice before going against us." Theo gasped at the idea that things could be done this way!

Daryl, who happened to come over to deliver fruits to them, overheard the conversation and was speechless. 'What a malign idea they have! Ms. Reese's boys are villains!' he thought.

Looking at the two little boys who were fuming with anger, Daryl discretely changed his path to distance himself from them.

Right then, Will's phone rang.

He thought Eric had changed his mind, but it was Byron on the other end of the line.

Will picked up the phone calmly and said sweetly, "Good evening, Daddy."

Theo immediately pricked up his ears.

"I'm at the door. Come out now." Byron's deep voice came from the other end.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Will was a little confused. "Daddy, how did you know that I'm here?"

Will was very sure that he didn't reveal anything on the phone just now.

"I guessed. I'll give you five minutes." Byron hung up the phone right after and didn't give Will any chance to reject.

Will frowned. "Daddy is a little strange. Why did he only say that he was coming to pick me up and didn't mention Mommy and you? He must've guessed that we're all here."

Theo rubbed his chin. "It's hard to say. Maybe they're fighting again. Adults call that romance."

Will thought for a few seconds. "Then I'll go back with Daddy first and see if I can ask Daddy to help me find Eric. If anything happens to Mommy, you must let me know immediately." Will wanted to stay there and be with his mother, but if he did so, he wouldn't be able to do anything.

Theo nodded heavily. "Don't worry, I'll take good care of Mommy."

Although Theo usually liked to eat and play pranks, Will knew that he was more reliable than anyone else at critical moments, and thus, Will wasn't particularly worried.

The night passed.

When Will woke up in the morning, he heard that Byron was going on a business trip overseas for an extended period of time, and that Byron was going to bring him along, he immediately snapped out of his languor.

Will ran downstairs in his pajamas and saw Byron having breakfast in the dining room. His quiet little voice was a little whiny. "Daddy, I don't want to go overseas. Can you not go too?"

'Mommy's condition is so bad now. Who knows if it's going to worsen? How could I abandon my mother and go abroad?' Will thought.

Byron put down the coffee cup in his hand and glanced at Will indifferently. "Reason?"

"I have school."

"Islaton Private International Kindergarten will start their school holiday next week. This is not a valid reason."

Will pursed his lips. He almost forgot that there was a festival coming up.

"I don't like food overseas. I might not be used to the food over there."

"That shouldn't be a problem. Mr. Mcdaniel always brings a professional chef with him every time he goes on a business trip. He gets to enjoy Setigal's cuisine." Serena cut in. She walked over from the door and spoke to Will with a smile, "You're still so young and should go out and see what's out there. It'll help you broaden your horizons."

When Will saw her, his long eyelashes drooped. "Good morning, Dr. Malvis."

"Good morning to you, too." Serena reached out to touch Will's head, but he avoided it. She then retracted her hand as if nothing had happened.

Will thought of something and asked Byron, "Daddy, is Dr. Malvis coming too?"

"Yes," Byron replied softly. "The country where we're going to on this business trip happened to be Dr. Malvis' hometown. She is going to tag along."

Serena's smile stayed wide. "Mr. Mcdaniel, when we're there, do allow me to show you around and treat you with top-notch hospitality."

Byron didn't comment on that.

Will clenched his fists and said to Byron in a serious tone. "Daddy, I'm not going. I can go to Mommy's. We have Mr. Nelson at home to take care of me. I don't want to go so far away."

"No. You have to go this time."

"Why?"

Byron was cold and silent. He thought it might not be a good thing for him to get too close to Jaylen's son.

He was also trying to make sense of Maeve's intention of bringing the two children together.

'Won't she worry that Will is going to be sad when he finds out about the truth in the future? I would never do what she did."

There was no room for negotiation for Will. He ran back to his room and locked the door. He walked to the yoga mat and sat down. One could sense his dissatisfaction easily.

'Mommy is sick and in pain, and Daddy wants to go overseas with Dr. Malvis. This is infuriating! I feel so sad and angry for Mommy!'

Byron knocked on Will's door several times but to no avail. The former then turned around with a solemn face and was about to leave.

The butler walked over with a lightweight phone in his hand and stopped Byron. "Mr. Mcdaniel, Will's phone was found in front of the elevator. There's a call coming in. Look." Byron stopped in his tracks and glanced at the caller ID on the screen.
