After bringing Max Gray back to the apartment, Bella Swan hired a nanny to look after him so she could focus on handling the companys affairs.
"You can trap my person, but not my heart!" Max protested against Bellas actions.
"If you run around again, I promise youll never see your father in your lifetime!" Bella issued an ultimate warning to Max.
Max immediately raised his small hand to tightly cover his mouth, not daring to breathe.
Seeing his nervous and worried appearance, Bella suddenly felt she had been too harsh.
Max just wanted a father; since she had given him life, she couldnt deprive him of his rights.
That night, she sat pondering until dawn.
Bella found her way to the Fantasy Nights Club, only to learn that the event coordinator, Sister Liu, who had been responsible for receiving her, had already resigned.
The clubs service staff changed dramatically year after year, making it as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack to locate the male escort who had served her back then.
While dealing with work in a flurry and trying to turn the tide for Thompson Enterprises, Bella also had to think about how to find Maxs biological father discreetly and subtly.
A strange local number called Bellas phone, and without giving it much thought, she answered, "Who is this?"
"Your son is with me." A deep male voice came through the cold speaker.
Bella was taken aback and immediately panicked, "Dont hurt my son, Ill give you whatever money you want right away!"
She had specifically told the nanny to watch the child closely; how could he have slipped out!
He had already suffered a car accident, and now he was being kidnapped and extorted!
"I dont want your money," the mans voice was somewhat familiar, but Bella had no time to recall.
"What do you want, and Ill give it to you, just dont hurt him!" Bella would never allow anyone to harm her son!
The man sighed, "Im Ethan Hunt, your son is with me... looking for his father."
Bella was stunned, then her face turned as red as a shrimp: "Give me the address, Im coming right over."
Arriving at Ethans office, Bella pulled Max, who was sitting on a massage chair playing with a tablet, up and dragged him outside.
"Ouch~~ Dad, save me——!!" Max sent out a distress signal to Ethan.
Hearing this title, Bella was about to explode: "Max Gray, watch your address!"
But Max nonchalantly rubbed his small arm, ran to Ethans side, and said, "Weve already reached an agreement... before finding my biological father, he will be my godfather!"
Bella was so angry that her hair almost smoked, but Ethan patted Maxs head and looked at her seriously, "Consider this my compensation for Max."
"Even if his biological father is here, I dont want his compensation!" Bella said irritably, still pulling Max outside.
Seeing Bella was really angry, Max made a phone call gesture to Ethan and let Bella drag him away.
Ethan nodded at Max, and even after they left, he didnt realize that the corners of his mouth had been upturned all along.
Back home, Bella continued to educate her child.
"You are the first to trap your mother, but you are not the last, you little rascal!" Bella was so angry that she couldnt calm down.
"Mommy." For the first time, Max called Bella seriously, "You are not young anymore, its time to find a man to marry. Dont you want your son to support you for a lifetime?"
"Who is supporting whom here, you or me?" Bella knew she couldnt communicate with him in an educational tone.
"Grandmas money is all left for me, and you are spending my money to support me now!" Max said indignantly, instantly leaving Bella speechless.
Seeing she was speechless, Max continued, "Its no problem for a son to support you for a lifetime, but when you see my little wife and I show affection in the future, wont you be envious?"
