"Uncle, what are you doing here?" Ruby asked.


    Since theirst encounter on the ne, they hadn''t seen each other, so Ruby was quite surprised to suddenlye across Adrian here.


    Hearing her angelic voice and soft tone, Adrian couldn''t help but curl up his lips up in a smile.


    From the sound of it, this little one was obviously spoiled and used to getting her own way, just like when she was in the livestream room. She was a clever little girl.


    "I came to visit the school, but I didn''t expect to run into you guys." Adrian nced briefly at Dn.


    Dn wasn''t as adorable as Ruby, nor did he show the same level of intimacy. In fact, after Adrian crouched down, the little guy''s eyes became somewhat guarded, and he subtly held the young girl''s hand. This was his resistance.


    Adrian, however, wasn''t angry. Instead, he found Dn''s behavior somewhatmendable.


    "Huh? Handsome Uncle came to visit the school? Are you married? Do you have a baby too?" Ruby, clearly a curious child, bombarded him with questions.


    Adrian raised an eyebrow, still unsure how to answer her questions. After a moment, he nced at the cautious Dn and said to the young girl, "Don''t call me Handsome Uncle. Change it to something else, like ''Uncle NightA."" "Uncle NightA?!"


    "You are Uncle NightA?"


    Both of them were shocked by this, finding it hard to believe that he was NightA, who often received their tips during the livestream.


    Adrian raised his eyebrow, "Don''t believe me?"


    Neither of them responded.


    "Do you still not believe that I''m Uncle NightA?" With that, Adrian took out his phone and opened his own ount to show the two little ones.


    As he passed the phone over to her, Adrian saw Ruby leaning her little head in to watch, and when she finished, she cheered and hugged Adrian. "Uncle NightA!" Ruby eximed.


    Adrian half embraced Ruby, but when he looked up, he found Dn still standing in ce, raising an eyebrow. This little guy was certainly vignt. "Aren''t you going to take a look?" Adrian spoke up.


    Hearing that, Dn nced at him before slowly walking over.


    Adrian''s lips curled up as he handed Dn the phone. "Double-checking? Otherwise, you might think that Uncle NightA is a bad person or an imposter."


    His words effortlessly pierced through Dn''s thoughts, and though his expression remained unchanged, his ears turned slightly red.


    But he still took the phone and started checking, initially stiff and cautious. However, seeing that Adrian didn''t react, he began fiddling with the phone in his hands. After confirming a few things, Dn handed the phone back to Adrian.


    Adrian gazed at him with a smile in his eyes. "Satisfied now? Do you still doubt me?"


    The little one remained silent, but tightly pursed his lips and took hold of Adrian''s hand.


    Since Ruby found out that he is ''Uncle NightA'' she tightly held onto his arm, showing an intimacy that resembled encountering a dear family member. "Uncle NightA, why didn''t you tell me on the ne that you are Uncle NightA?"


    "Hmm?" Adrian pondered and responded, "Perhaps, as it was our first meeting, I didn''t think of it."


    "Oh, so Uncle NightA came to school today to enroll his baby?" Ruby tilted her head and asked.


    Surprised that the question came up again, Adrian thought for a moment and smiled gently, "My baby has already been enrolled and is in this school too." "Really? What''s their name?" Ruby asked eagerly.


    Adrian chuckled, "I''ll introduce you next time we have a chance."


    "Great, great!" Ruby pped happily.


    Frank stood at a distance, watching them chat and feeling a bit emotional. His curiosity grew, so he turned to Jacob and asked, "What is their rtionship?" Jacob smiled slightly and responded, "Guess."


    Frank hesitated. How could he dare to guess?


    As Adrian hadn''t been fully exined yet, coupled with the children needing to attend ss, Adrian only stayed with them for twenty minutes before leaving. Back in the car, Adrian was visibly in a good mood.


    Observing this, Jacob took the opportunity to offer a thermos cup, "Mr. ckwood, the weather is cold. Have a hot drink to warm you up."


    As Adrian was in a good mood, he didn''t refuse when Jacob handed him the cup. He took a couple sips.


    Inside the thermos cup was oatmeal powder that Jacob had prepared, mixed with milk. The temperature was just right, giving aforting warmth as it slid down his throat.


    Observing him, Jacob, perhaps due to Adrian''s good mood, waited for him to take several sips before taking the cup back and said, "Mr. ckwood, how about having a few more sips to nourish your body? After all, you''re not alone now." Upon hearing this, Adrian''s hand holding the thermos cup paused. His narrow eyes drooped slightly, seemingly digesting Jacob''s words.


    After a moment, he looked up and smiled gently. "You''re right."


    Jacob stared at Adrian, somewhat shocked.


    It had been a while since he had seen Adrian genuinely smile like this. Ever since Granny passed away, he had been closed off from the world.


    Finally, it seemed that his heart was slowly opening up again.?


    Jacob watched as Adrian leisurely finished all the oatmeal in the cup. Only then did Jacob put the cup away.


    While twisting the cap, Jacob said, "Just now, when I saw you with those two kids, the scene was truly beautiful. I even took a photo."


    Hearing this, Adrian''s eyes flickered. "A photo? Send it to me."


    Jacob sent the photo to his phone, and Adrian opened it, his lips curving up again.


    Jacob continued speaking in the front seat, "I saw you all having a great chat, so I secretly took a photo. I can see that the little boy seems wary of you. He''s very mature for his age."


    Adrian pursed his lips and replied, "It''s good that my child has this wariness, it will prevent him from being deceived one day."


    My child...


    Jacob sighed as he questioned, "Mr. ckwood, is this really your child? Don''t you n on conducting a paternity test?" Adrian chuckled dismissively, "Is it necessary?"


    Jacob thought to himself, well, it seems like it might not be necessary after all. With the children having Eva as their mother, and bearing such a striking resemnce to Adrian - about 90% simrity - there was hardly any doubt that they are his biological children.


    "What do we do next then? Should we tell Ms. Hansen about this?" Jacob asked.


    "No." Adrian shook his head. "If she finds out, she might take the children and run away. Not only would I lose her, but the children might also develop resentment towards me. What I need to do now is to assert my presence before them as NightA."


    Adrian intentionally revealed his NightA identity today because his little boy was too guarded with him. He had no choice but to bring up this persona. It may have been a little despicable, but it was effective and necessary.
