Chapter 8
Colt received the message and his heart sank.
An inexplicable panic and unease spread in his heart as he dialed Cindy’s phone, only to see it was
turned off.
When I messaged Cindy, an exclamation mark appeared.
Did Cindy block him?
This is because I didn’t attend Emilie’s birthday party, and I was having a fight with him.
Colt was annoyed and tugged at his tie.
Mr. Nolan, Mr. Durham from the Durham Group is downstairs,” the secretary knocked on the door
to remind him.
Colt got up, adjusted his emotions, and walked out.
This cooperation was very important, and he personally went to the first–floor lobby to greet Mr.
Durham.
Just as he stepped out of the elevator, he heard a burst of noise.
Colt looked over and saw Allan sitting on the ground, looking up at the person in front of him with a defiant expression on his face.
“My father was the boss here. You guys broke my ball, apologize to me quickly.”
“Do you expect me to apologize even though you were the one who made a mistake?”
“I was just a child, why do you bother with me! You better apologize to me, or else I will have my
dad kick all of you out.”
Colt walked over, Allan saw him, and immediately got up and ran to his side.
“Colt, they bullied me.” He rudely pointed at that person and said, “He broke my ball.”
Seeing that person, Colt felt a pain in his forehead.
“Mr. Durham, is there any misunderstanding?” he asked politely, pulling Allan, who was sitting on
the ground, by the arm.
“Mr. Nolan, is this your son?” Mr. Durham sneered.
“Friend’s child,” Colt said, feeling slightly awkward.
Hehe,
Hehe, it’s not a misunderstanding. He kept hitting me with the soccer ball, and my assistant couldn’t bear it, so she took his ball away. He asked me to apologize and even said to have you kick

me out,” Mr. Durham said with a grim face.
“Mr. Nolan, I think I need to reconsider this collaboration we were discussing. Goodbye.”
“Mr. Durham, please stay.”
Colt wanted to chase, but Allan held onto his leg and wouldn’t let go. “Colt, don’t bother with him, he’s a bad guy.”
Colt watched as Mr. Durham walked away.
“Allan!” Colt said sternly, pulling him aside. “Get up quickly! Come with me to apologize!”
Allan was stunned for a moment, and then he burst into tears, saying, “Colt doesn’t love me
anymore. Colt is bad. Mom, I want my mom.”
Colt looked at Allan angrily, displeased with his mischievous behavior.
“Get up!”
“I won’t get up,” Allan turned his head and snorted, “You’re bullying me too, I’m going to tell
Mom!”
Colt caught a glimpse of Emilie’s mature appearance.
She never cried or misbehaved, always watched him carefully, waiting for him to come closer.
But he… never approached her on his own.
Allan cried louder and louder, as people came and went in the hallway, and someone couldn’t help
but mutter under their breath.
Colt’s face became increasingly unpleasant, and he stared at Allan, “Stand up!”
Allan cried louder.
Colt bent down and opened his hand, and Hazel ran out of the elevator.
“Allan, Colt. What happened here?”
Allan saw her and became even more reckless, “Colt doesn’t love me anymore, he wants to hit me.”
Seeing her son crying, Hazel pulled Allan over and said, “Colt, he is just a child. If he made a mistake, you can scold me or hit me, but please don’t be harsh on him, okay?”
Allan plunged into Hazel’s arms and cried his heart out.
It seems like he really physically assaulted him.
Colt was annoyed and frustrated by the noise, so he turned around and walked away.

Yor the first time, they felt that the mother and son duo were not as good as Cindy and her daughter.
Colt was taken aback, why did he think of them….
What did Cindy’s message mean?
He suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and hurriedly contacted Mr. Durham in the office, taking the initiative to offer a ten percent profit in order to seek cooperation.
“Mr. Nolan did indeed love someone else’s son, he put in a lot of effort for this child, all for a one percent profit. However, I must advise you, someone else’s child will never be your own,” Mr. Durham sarcastically remarked.
“Pleasure working with you,” “Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Durham, Wishing us a pleasant
collaboration.”
Colt’s face turned black.
He saw Emilie’s face again in front of him, and his heart skipped a beat. It seemed like he had never
loved her before.
Suddenly, he missed Emilie a lot and wanted to go home to see her.
