Chapter 381


    ?


    At first, Pax didn''t say a word. He just kept his head down, focused on his steak. But ire kept piling more food onto his te. Finally, Pax couldn''t take it any longer and snapped, "Mom, I''m not a kid anymore. I can feed myself."


    Suddenly, the whole restaurant fell into an eerie silence.


    In the live stream chat:


    [Mom? Mom! MOM!!!!!]


    [Why is Pax calling the heiress of the Sartori Corporation ''mom''? Could it be...]


    [Stop guessing. Let me spill the tea: Pax is the only son of ire and her ex-husband Desmond. H''s heir to both the Sartori and Gilbert families. His pedigree is even more prestigious than Connor''s. One day, he''s set to inherit not just the Sartori Corporation but also the Gilbert family''s empire.]


    [How could you keep such a massive secret for so long!]


    [Since you''re calling me out, there''s another secret I''m not revealing.]


    [Spill it, Golden Promise! If you don''t, I''ll die from curiosity!]


    [Oh my God, Pax is practically royalty, and here I thought he was just an ordinary student.]


    [He isn''t hustling in the entertainment industry because he''s set to inherit the family fortune.]


    [What''s wrong with having one more rich person in the world?]


    [Pax, your humble servant has finally found you.]


    [Me, hating on the rich, flipped over in anger, but my charger wasn''t long enough, so I flipped back.]


    Faith was just about to pop a


    lite


    meatball into her mouth. Hearing Pax call out "mom," she dropped it with a loud "duang" into her bone china te, the sound ringing out. Her mouth, however, opened even wider in shock.


    Juztin couldn''t stay calm either. He silently pulled back his fork and let his gaze shift between Pax and ire.


    For Chloe and Connor, this was old news. Diana, however, stole a quick nce at ire before quickly lowering her head again, wishing the dinner would end soon.


    Only Kalh seemedpletely clueless. "Pax, have you lost your mind? Even if you want to cozy up to Ms. ire, you can''t just call her ''mom'' out of nowhere. Have some decency!"


    Kalh had been thinking ever since she first saw ire. If ire could recognize her as a goddaughter, it would be a dreame true. Over the years, she had gained countless godfathers and godmothers. At dinner parties, a bit of boldness was usually enough to get the wealthy and influential to ept you as family. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.


    She was plotting how to get close to ire. But Pax just blurted it out so naturally. And he didn''t call her godmother he called her mom! Pax''s audacity was just infuriating.


    Everyone was looking at Kalh like she was a fool.


    ire chuckled, "Miss Kalh, do I not resemble my son?"


    Hearing ire''s words, Kalh finally connected the dots. Pax was actually ire''s son.


    Shock was quickly reced by regret. Had she known, she would never have treated Pax that way. Knowing his status, she would''ve tried to win him over from the start.


    After her surprise, Kalh''s attitude did aplete 180. "Pax, why didn''t you say you''re Ms. ire''s son earlier? We wouldn''t have had all these misunderstandings."


    Kalh poured herself a ss of red


    wine. "Let''s not dwell on the past. It''s fate that brought us all together here l propose a toast to you Let bygones be bygones, alright?"
