The Secret Heir Return To Wealth And Love

Wayne stood there, momentarily stunned. Clearly, he hadn't expected Cory to respond that way. He found himself feeling a bit awkward, "Actually, the travel idea was Mom's. Dad just helped with the planning." "I really like the trip," Cory looked up at Wayne with a glint of appreciation in his eyes. "Thanks, Dad."

He said 'thanks' again. Truth be told, Cory didn't often call Wayne 'Dad'. To be strict about it, their communication wasn't all that frequent.

When Wayne and Cory were alone together, they mostly sat in silence.

The most they ever talked about was probably the Bane Corporation.

Even after Wayne had a near-death experience and was brought back by his wife, the first time he met Cory after the incident, he didn't feel the profound sense of position in Cory's heart like he did now.d2 "You don't need to thank me." Wayne gently ruffled Cory's hair.

"I'm going to go look up some places on the route that are good for bug-watching," Cory said, picking up his iPad. He turned obediently to Rosalynn and said, "Mommy, I'm heading back to my room." "Go ahead, sweetheart," Rosalynn nodded with a light laugh.

Cory then scampered upstairs with his iPad in tow. Wayne had only a moment to savor the love and admiration from his son before the boy was gone.

"Who knew our Cory wasn't as much of a homebody as he seemed, actually enjoying the great outdoors," Wayne said to Rosalynn, unable to hide his bubbling joy and happiness.

Today was a rare day of recognition from his son. How could he not feel elated?

Rosalynn watched Wayne, thinking to herself that it wasn't Cory who loved adventures...

"Ma'am!" She was interrupted by a sudden voice. Rosalynn turned around in surprise to see Molly deftly hopping in from the patio and hurrying toward the living room.

Molly burst into the living room, still trying to catch her breath, her eyes immediately found Wayne, "Mr. Silverman, you're really alive!"

Molly's slightly flushed face from the rush and her open display of emotion brought a smile to Wayne's face.

"Ma'am, he's alive! Fantastic! I must go tell my dad!" She turned to leave the way she came, but Rosalynn caught the back of her sundress, "Hold on, don't rush off. Tell me, who said Mr. Silverman wasn't alive?"

"I guessed," Molly replied candidly, "He's been gone nearly a year! Even longer than the time he fell overboard!"

Wayne and Rosalynn both chuckled at her bold analysis.

"Oh, that's why you kept offering me those sickly sweet chocolates, to comfort me, huh?" Rosalynn realized.

Molly blushed a bit, "Ma'am, I should go to my dad now."

"Your father knows everything," Rosalynn gently tapped Molly's nose, "In this blazing sun, don't run back and forth. I have something to discuss with you."

Molly obediently turned and waited to hear what Rosalynn had to say.

"Mr. Silverman has planned a half-month trip, and to put it simply, we'll be following a trail with lots of beautiful bugs," Rosalynn said softly.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Molly had been on guard when the trip was mentioned, showing no interest. But at the mention of beautiful insects, her eyes lit up. Then, seemingly caught in a dilemma, she hesitated, "But I was planning to prep for my exams next year, and time is tight."

"You can do both," Rosalynn continued slowly, "You can take online classes in the car, although it might be tough."

"I'm not afraid of hard work!" Molly declared without hesitation, "Ma'am, take me with you! I'll look out for Cory and Ivy!"
