    Chapter 1279 Tempting Offer


    Eugene looked at Hector with a smile in his eyes. “I heard that you conducted many experiments, but in


    the end, only three of them were born. Don’t you think it’s because of the genes? It’s because of my


    genes and Olivia’s genes that we were able to conceive such intelligent children.”


    Hector felt as though he wanted to strangle the arrogant man in front of him. After a while, he said,


    “What’s wrong with your genes? They are here because of me. If I refuse you, can you even take them


    away from me?”


    Eugene looked at him and said earnestly, “It’s not that we can’t. It’s just that we can’t bear to. I’ve said


    before that Olivia and I have no intention ofpeting with you for the children. We are looking for a


    win-win solution. A solution that wouldn’t trample all over your emotions and provide the children with a


    family and a safe space to return to.”


    Hector sneered. “Is there really a win-win solution? Well, I suppose there is. You could stay here in the


    clinic and never return to the country.”


    Eugene said, “Not returning to the country is unlikely. Once ke recovers, we would have to return.


    Although they were conceived through high-tech means, I believe they also want to live with their


    biological parents, just like North. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have traveled such a long distance to find


    us in Criecia.”


    When Eugene saw that Hector was about to puff up and say something, he suddenly changed the


    subject and asked, “Mr. Gedding, you’re 55 years old this year, and you should be thinking about


    retirement. Have you ever thought about enjoying your life after retirement?” Hector stared at Eugene


    for a while and struggled with the words that were stuck in his throat.


    After a while, he sighed. “I’ve been here ever since I was a strapping young man. I’ve spent over ten


    years in that ce and researched this project for over twenty years. Those three little ones are proof


    of my efforts over these twenty years. When I look at them, I can’t even find the words to express the


    joy in my heart. What you said is true. I repeated the experiment over two hundred times, and in the


    end, they were the only sessful ones. This is a gic issue, not the sess of my research


    project. I’m still notpletely satisfied by the results.”


    Eugene didn’t understand his rationale, so he inquired, “Was there a problem somewhere?”


    Hector replied, “We’re still investigating.”


    Eugene asked, “How long will it take?”


    Hector answered, “It’s hard to say. It may take a few months, a few years, or even decades. It’s


    unpredictable. If it’s not sessful, we can only restart the investigation and look through them one by


    one.”


    Eugene said, “In fact, I admire you, Mr. Gedding. Few people devote their whole lives to one thing like


    you have. You’ve even given up your own life and personal happiness just to see this through. If this


    research is sessful, it should be recorded in the annals of human history.”


    Hector huffed, “I’m not as great as you think. You can say that I’m persistent, but in reality, I’m


    stubborn. Since I’ve been researching it, I want to ensure that I understand itpletely.”


    Eugene had initially wanted to bring up the topic of Hector and Ellen, but now it seemed impossible.


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    This man had spent a lifetime of dedication to his career, so how could he give it up for his mother?


    So, Eugene decided to say something else, “If the children hadn’t found us, perhaps they might have


    willingly stayed with you, but the reality is that they have found us. If you insist on keeping them by your


    side, it won’t benefit them in the long run. However, we are not leaving immediately. We still need to


    treat ke’s illness. Your research project may seed during this time. Then, you can return to


    Criecia and live together with us.”


    Hector looked at Eugene in astonishment. Eugene had been speaking non-stop, but he only heard the


    last sentence.


    Eugene mentioned that he could live together with them.


    What did he mean?


    He stared nkly at Eugene as the expression on his face shifted, appearing eager to confirm yet


    hesitant at the same time. Regardless, he knew clearly that there was a blooming hope in his heart.


    Eugene, being perceptive, had long understood human nature. So, he simply smiled and said, “You are


    Olivia’s master, and Olivia has always treated you like a father. Plus, you have no children of your own.


    Isn’t it only natural for us to live together? At that time, you will be able to see the children, and the


    second half of your life will be worry-free. Isn’t that a win-win situation?”


    Hector remained silent, but he couldn’t deny that this offer was tempting
