Alexander's unusual behavior frightened Noah.
He immediately rushed back to the classroom, borrowed the teacher's phone, and called Samantha.
"Mommy, something has happened. Alexander seems to be under considerable stress. Please hurry to Chelsea Creek, find my father, and go look for Alexander. No matter what, bring Alexander back home first."
Samantha found the call perplexing.
"Alexander, what are you talking about?"
Clearly, the person calling her was Alexander himself.
Why did Noah ask her to find Alexander?
Noah was almost in tears as he urgently said, "No time to explain, just hurry! If you don't go now, it might be too late. I'll talk to you about the rest when you get home tonight."
However, Samantha couldn't comprehend the situation. She frowned and angrily questioned, "Alexander, if you're playing around again, I'll really be angry. Behave well in kindergarten and stop being naughty."
After saying that, she decisively hung up the phone.
As Samantha's side was not working, Noah had no choice but to call Ethan.
At the same time, Ethan, having finished his shower, went to Alexander's room to look for him.
As he entered the room, he noticed scattered documents on the floor. Bending down to pick them up, he inadvertently took a closer look, his expression turning serious as he flipped through the pages.
A paternity test report?
A and N have a 100% match, medically identified as identical twins.
Miss S and Mr. N have a 1% match. The possibility from the maternal side is 1%.
Identical twins? Maternal possibility 1%?
What did this mean?
Why would there be a paternity test in Noah's room?
Who conducted this paternity test?
Just as he wondered, the phone inside his bathrobe rang.
It displayed an unfamiliar number but rang on his private line.
This private number was known only to the closest people; his business affairs were handled with a different number.
Ethan answered the call warily, asking, "Who is this?"
Upon hearing his father's voice, Noah, feeling lost and helpless, as if finding a pillar of support, let out all his grievances. Tears streamed down, and he choked out, "Father..."
It was Noah's voice?
Ethan's heart twisted instantly.
Softening his tone, he asked, "What happened? Where are you now?"
Hearing his father's concerned voice, Noah felt even more aggrieved, and his tears flowed more violently.
"Father, I'm sorry; I deceived you. Alexander has learned the truth, and I'm afraid he might not handle the shock well. Could you please go find him quickly?"
"Alexander?"
Ethan furrowed his brow, feeling that the name was somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.
Noah didn't have time to explain and briefly clarified, "Alexander is my twin brother. He looks exactly like me. He's been with you these days. He always believed he was Miss Samantha's biological son. When he suddenly learned that his biological mother is Suzy, he couldn't bear it and ran away. I'm afraid he might be in trouble. Can you please find him quickly?"
Hearing this, Ethan's gaze fell on the column of the paternity test results.
All the doubts seemed to unravel at once.
The so-called identical twins referred to Noah and the Alexander he mentioned.
And the maternal possibility section should be the paternity test results between Alexander and Samantha.
So, besides Noah, he had another son?
The sudden revelation made Ethan's heart uncontrollably race.
The hand holding the phone trembled slightly.
After a while, he forced himself to calm down and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't worry; I will find him."
After hanging up, he called Jade.
Jade began a city-wide search for Alexander.
However, the entire day passed without a trace of Alexander, as if he had vanished into thin air.
In the afternoon, Samantha came to pick up Noah and Charlotte from school.
Noah logged into Skype immediately and tried to make a video call to Alexander.
But the call rang for a long time without an answer.
Noah then called Ethan.
The call was quickly answered.
Impatiently, Noah asked, "Father, how is it? Have you found Alexander? Is he okay?"
Ethan replied in a deep voice, "Not yet. Don't worry; Jade has deployed people to search the entire city. I believe we will find him soon."
Noah knew his father's capabilities too well. If all forces were mobilized to find someone, it wouldn't take more than three hours.
A whole day passing without any news was unprecedented.
Either Alexander deliberately avoided his father, or something had happened.
"Father, I'm going over right away!"
After saying this, he hung up in a hurry and returned the phone to Samantha.
Samantha, with a puzzled expression, thought Alexander might be emotionally disturbed. She reached out to feel his forehead, asking anxiously, "Alexander, are you feeling unwell? Is there something wrong?"
Noah pulled away from her hand, urgently urging, "Mommy, there's no time. Please take me to Chelsea Creek; I need to find my father."
Hearing the words 'Chelsea Creek,' Samantha instinctively furrowed her brow, "Who is your father?"
"Ethan Steele."
"Ethan is your father?" Samantha exclaimed incredulously. Her voice was high-pitched and piercing due to the shock.
Noah stared at her without blinking and said solemnly, "Haven't you realized it? I'm not Alexander at all. My name is Noah Steele, and my father is Ethan Steele, the president of the Emperor Group. Alexander and I are identical twins, and we switched identities a long time ago. The son you've raised is currently by my father's side."
The sudden revelation left Samantha's mind in chaos.
Her mouth formed an 'O' shape as if she hadn't recovered from this astounding news.
Although she had suspected that Alexander might be Ethan's son, confirming this speculation left her utterly shocked.
Seeing her unresponsive, Noah became anxious and stamped his foot, "There's no time to waste. Alexander is devastated after finding out he's not your biological son. He's currently missing, and after a whole day of searching, there's still no sign of him. I'm afraid he might be in trouble. Please hurry and drive me to Chelsea Creek."
Upon hearing about Alexander's disappearance, Samantha finally snapped out of her daze. She quickly got into the car with Charlotte. Stepping on the gas pedal, the car swiftly sped out.
Charlotte remained in a bewildered state throughout the journey, clueless about what had happened.
It wasn't until Samantha arrived at Chelsea Creek, saw the furious Ethan, and ran towards him with joy that Charlotte finally reacted. She happily hugged Ethan's thigh, her face beaming, "Daddy, Charlotte finally sees you again! Charlotte missed you so much!"
