(Forewords: Chapter 400 is before Ken Chen came to Paris in Chapter 339, this is what happen before the Chapter 340 up to Chapter 350. And started at Chapter 351, it is the time that Madison brought them again to the past then came back at Chapter 400. Thanks! Welcome to Volume 7!!!)"Levi, what"s going on?"
Quinn and Derek rush to the room, and they noticed that Madison is crying.
"Madison? What"s the matter?" Quinn strides closer to the bed, then sat beside her. Patting Madison"s head, her cries became even louder.
"Papa!" Madison throws her arms around Quinn.
Confused, Quinn just hugged her back until she settles down. "Tell me, what"s wrong?"
"Papa—" Madison sobs. Wiping her tears, she told Quinn, "I know where is my older brother."
"Brother? What do you mean?"
"On our way to see Mama Marivella, I glimpse Lady Lisa Grace"s future. I saw her, then Mama, giving birth to a boy. But they separate ways because someone attempts to murder them. Then, the child grew up and become a soldier."
"Lisa Grace…" Quinn mumbles. She holds a big secret and already has a huge part since her past life.
"Isn"t Grace family is Riley"s ancestor?" Derek speaks out.
Quinn nodded at him and conceded. "Yes, and it seems, Riley is her reincarnation."
"I am certain that too, brother Quinn. Lady Lisa Grace is Miss Riley Rivera!" Levi seconded.
"I have to call Riley to ask about these probabilities. I will be confirmed if she was aware of this and what was she know about the past."
Quinn rose from the bed and kiss Madison"s forehead. "You need to remain resting," he told Madison before left the room.
Suddenly, joy-filled his chest. He and Ca.s.sandra have a firstborn, and it was a son! This truly excites him enormously. He cannot wait for Ca.s.sandra to come back and share this news with her. He misses her already and can"t wait to embrace her once again, kisses her and made love all night long.
Preoccupying his thoughts about Ca.s.sandra and their children, Quinn went to his office in this facility and sent a message to Riley. He requested to have a video call with her. Not that too long, Riley now appears to his computer screen. Beside her is Daichi, who quickly asks about Ca.s.sandra. But Riley elbowed him and scold to get out.
"You want to ask me about something?"
"Yes, Riley. First, I want to know if you have doc.u.ments or pictures from your ancestors?"
"What is this for?" Riley wrinkled her forehead, immediately, concern displayed on her face.
"We just believe that you are the reincarnation of Lisa Grace back in the 18th Century. Do you have records or anything about your ancestors from then?"
Riley took a silent and contemplates something. She then returned the question to Quinn.
"Tell me, is there something that happens during your travel time back then?"
Quinn nodded. "Yes. You and Marivella hiding together is the last thing we know before we came back here. You were on her side until she gives birth to our firstborn, a son."
Riley remains her silence, but meeting Quinn"s intense gaze. He doesn"t want to breathe. Antic.i.p.ation filled his chest and felt; he is about to collapse to whatever words would come out from Riley"s mouth.
"Tell me what do you know, Lisa Grace?"
Riley gives up. She hurls a heavy sigh before replying to Quinn. "Since you already learn about this, okay. It is the perfect time for you to know."
"There is someone I will send to you to give you an envelope. Inside, that is the information you demand to know. Just follow the instructions of the letter."
These are Riley"s words, Quinn recalled. Leroy is driving him now toward an old bank here in Paris. In this bank, it keeps an important heritage since the 20th Century. And because of his connection as a Crow heir, the bank manager waiting for his arrival and opens the bank just for him. It is now 2:00 in the morning.
He escorted Quinn until they reach the vault. Outside are countless M15 bodyguards scattering around. The bank manager opens the vault and left Quinn to have his moments. Upon entering inside, he inhaled then release them. Now, he was looking through its safe to this vault. He was reading for the safe number written on a black card. Finding it, his heart pounding rapidly.
Riley said it was the answer to his question. He opens the safe and began scanning the old stuff inside. He saw an old painting of Riley and a girl who look like Marivella.
No. It was Carlene! What"s the meaning of this? It puzzled him.
Quinn took a picture of the paintings. He walked out of the vault with bewilderment. Quinn dialed Riley"s mobile number. He waited patiently for the other line to answer.
"Tell me, who really is my son?" he asked promptly the moment Riley speaks out. "Why there are paintings about you and Madison? Did they meet back then? Carlene and her brother?"
"Yes."
Quinn closes his eyes and breathes. His children met in the past? That"s good. It made him happy.
"Quinn, now that you learn this truth, it is the time to meet him. He could answer most of your questions and anything you wanted to know."
Riley"s next statement shocked him. He wanted to fly a certain place to arrive sooner. Puzzled, Leroy just keeps the questions he wanted to ask his master and followed Quinn"s order to drive faster. Now the car parked outside the Crow Mansion here in Paris.
Butler Son let him come in and request to go to his master"s study room. Upon waiting for Nicholas, Quinn wandered around the room.
The walls filled with photos of everyone instead of paintings. But most especially are his photos with Ca.s.sandra. It was beautifully frame and hanged in the place where the person could always stare at them: like the person who put them in the frame, conveying too much love to the picture.
Now it explains why Nicholas is showing so much affection toward him. Now it was clear, why many people always question them; he is more resembles Nicholas than his birth father, Henry Williams.
Peering at Nicholas photos when he was younger, the more he looks at it, the more it convinced him…
Nicholas is definitely his son.
