Husband

When Averie dragged Samuel to the CEO’s office of the Monroe Group, Carlos was still in a meeting. The new secretary was Averie’s fan and knew Averie would be the CEO’s wife. She enthusiastically invited them to the reception room. 

Averie kept a tight grip on Samuel, even using a pair of props handcuffs to shackle herself to Samuel. When Samuel needed to go to the restroom. she made him do it on the spot, fearing he might escape. 

“Don’t think you can get away by being silent now. It’s too late, You’re doomed, just you wait! Carlos won’t let you off.” Averic’s face was triumphant She appeared as if she had won the lottery.

Carlos cared most about Neil Averie would be credited for discovering Nell had been swapped. Not only would Carlos reward her generously. when Neil was rescued, he would have to call her “Mom” gratefully. Of course, it would be even better if Neil died. Averie would bear children for Carlos after marrying him. In any case, Averie would have the grandeur and wealth of the Monroe family. 

Samuel could hear Averie’s thoughts and disdained her more. If Neil was taken away, now was the perfect time to rescue him. However, Avera wasted time instead of questioning Samuel, hoping that Neil would die. 

But Samuel’s mind–reading ability was useless. If only Samuel could curse like Catherine and bring Averie bad luck, he might find a way to escape and return to his mommy and uncle to discuss their next step. What should he do now! Did his mommy and uncle think of a way to save him? 

The door of the reception room opened, and Carlos’s tall and slender form appeared. He had already been briefed by the secretary on the situation. His gaze was cold and murderous. 

Averie, who was leaning back on the couch smugly, nearly fell to the ground in fear. She quickly stood, wanting to greet Carlos, but didn’t dare to Carlos was too scary. “Carlos Averie began but was interrupted. 

“Shut up.” Carlos’s icy gaze fell on the handcuffs. He ordered, “Undo ir.” 

Averie trembled. “1–I don’t have the key.” 

Carlos called a bodyguard who used a wire to open the handcuffs. He gently touched Samuel’s red chafed wrist. “Does it hurt?” 

Samuel shook his head, surprised by Carlos’s reaction. Anyone would have exploded in fury when he learned his son had been swapped. Why was Carlos so calmn? He even treated Samuel as nicely as yesterday. 

Samuel had decided that no matter how Carlos interrogated him, he would keep his head down and pretend not to know anything. If necessary, he would cry loudly, A DNA test would prove he was Carlos’s son anyway. Samuel wasn’t afraid. 

“What a brave boy you are.” Carlos parted Samuel’s head approvingly, but his fingers searched for the small whorl on his head. He couldn’t find it He stared disappointedly at the tiny face in front of him. It was the same as his son’s, Carlos’s anger surged rapidly. 

However, Carlos did not immediately throw a temper but calmly instructed his secretary to bring some fruits Neil liked for Samuel to eat. 

Samuel’s scalp tingled when he saw mangoes on the fruit platter. He avoided the mangoes and ate the other fruits, even picking up a piece of apple and offering it to Carlos. 

Carlos’s eyes turned icy. Mangoes were Neil’s favorite fruit. He always insisted on finishing the mangoes first. 

Carlos waited away the fork and wrapped his hand around Samuel’s neck ruthlessly. “Who are you? Where is my son!”
