"Bianca,what mischief have you gotten yourself into now?" Dominic saw the expression of shock on Bianca's face and furrowed his brows.
Bianca was about to explain what had just happened, but when she noticed her nephew, who was no longer wearing a mask and had a tense face standing nearby, she swallowed her words.
Dominic was used to his sister's dramatic reactions and didn't pay much attention to her strange behavior. He said coldly, "I still have things to do. You take Chris home first."
Bianca got into the car with Christopher.
Three hours later, the car entered the city area and was about to reach Forest Hill.
At this moment, Bianca had temporarily forgotten about the little incident just now.
There was a hint of anticipation in her eyes as she turned to Christopher. "Chris, we're almost home. Can you give me Elle's contact information?"
"I won't go back on my word!" Sitting upright and looking straight ahead, Christopher turned his head slightly.
His obsidian-like eyes blinked imperceptibly, thinking about the meeting he had arranged with 'Christian'. He spoke to the driver in front, "Uncle Tom, stop the car ahead. Send Aunt Bianca back!"
The middle-aged driver, Tom, was excited. It was rare for the young master to speak so many words to him.
Uncle Tom was about to agree, but then he heard Bianca displeasedly saying, "No, your dad asked me to look after you. If I go back, where do you want to go?"
"Home. I'll let Aunt Leah pick me up," Christopher replied, his little face tightening as he spoke coolly.
If Aunt Bianca went to Forest Hill, it would affect his meeting with 'Christian'.
Bianca frowned, subconsciously wanting to object.
Unfortunately, when she met Christopher's stubborn gaze, it was as if her mouth had been glued shut.
Once Chris insisted on something, it was impossible to change his mind, especially when he got angry.
Bianca thought about it and decided to compromise.
But when she saw Aunt Leah, she secretly instructed her to keep an eye on Christopher and notify her immediately if anything happened.
...
On this side, Christopher returned to his room and immediately walked to the curtains.
He pursed his lips and carefully opened a gap in the curtains.
Was the neighbor auntie back? Since he wanted to meet 'Chris' secretly, he couldn't let anyone see.
Christopher's obsidian-like eyes darkened, suppressing the urgent desire to meet, and decided to wait until it was dark.
At night, 8 o'clock.
A buzzing sound came from the phone.
In the room, Christian, who was playing games, took a break to pick up the phone.
Christian opened the chat app on her phone and saw that the message was from a user with a black profile picture.
Christian's lips curled into a smile, revealing a row of neat teeth as he clicked on the profile picture.
[I'm waiting for you in the small garden on the left side of your house. Don't tell anyone!!]
Two exclamation marks?
Christian propped his chin, Mommy said that exclamation marks meant the message was important.
Why did his friend make meeting sound like sneaking around? But this also made it more interesting.
Christian's clever eyes turned
It must be because Christopher was too shy!
Christian thought for a moment and quickly typed a reply with his fingers.
[Okay, I'll be there right away!!!]
Christian pressed the send button, stuffed his phone into his little jeans pocket, stood up gracefully, put on his blue jacket, and quietly left the room.
At the same time, Christopher received a message from Christian. He stood up reservedly from his chair.
After putting on his black coat, he hesitated before leaving and decided to take a black mask with him. He carefully put it on before stepping out.
When Christian arrived at the designated spot according to the message, there was no one in the small garden.
Christopher must have been delayed by something.
Christian stood under the lamplight, a mischievous gleam flashing in his bright eyes. He quietly slipped behind a big tree and crouched down.
Ten minutes passed, and finally, there was some movement outside.
A small figure approached from a distance, and perhaps he was walking too fast, as Christian could hear his faint panting.
Christian stood up immediately, arching his body like a little cat, and stealthily walked out.
One step, two steps, three steps, and he was about to approach.
Suddenly, the person in front of him turned around without any warning.
Christian was caught off guard.
The expression on Christian's face quickly changed, collapsing for a moment before sticking his tongue out and making a funny face, greeting with a smile.
"Hi there, we finally meet."
Christopher remained silent, his eyes outside the mask were glued to Christian's face.
When Christopher fully saw Christian's face, he held his breath for a moment, his emotions becoming unusually turbulent.
Under the dim light, the lively face in front of him looked exactly like looking into a mirror, really identical to his own.
So...
They were really twins.
"Hey, are you dumbfounded?" Christian blinked his eyes like black grapes and, seeing that Christopher was still staring at him, couldn't help but raise his little chubby hand to shake it.
Christopher clenched his small hand, then, after several mental preparations, slowly pulled down the mask covering his face.
When Christian saw Christopher's face revealed, his eyes widened in shock, and his small mouth could have swallowed a whole egg.
But Christian was lively and bold. After just a second of surprise, he blinked his big eyes and approached curiously. He reached out his chubby hand and poked Christopher's face to confirm.
Christopher, who never touched people, was momentarily stunned but didn't feel repulsed. On the contrary, he wanted to get closer.
"It's not a prank, it's real!" A few seconds later, Christian confirmed and excitedly continued to mess with Christopher's face.
Christopher's lips twitched, and the next moment, a soft body rushed towards him.
"Brother, it's you, right? It's great, I finally found you."
Christian hugged Christopher tightly like a sloth bear, rubbing against him happily, his black eyes sparkling brighter than jewels.
He had always known that Mommy was looking for his brother. It turned out that the person he had been playing with was either his brother.
He was really super smart. Mommy had been looking for his brother for a long time, and he found him in an instant.
"Brother? So, have you and Mommy known about my existence all along?" Christopher's face turned pale, tightly pursing his lips.
Being a child with autism, he was inherently sensitive and insecure.
"Yeah, we were just born when you were lost. Mommy has been looking for you for so many years." Christian raised his head, his little face full of sincerity.
"So Mommy didn't reject me?" Christopher breathed a sigh of relief secretly, and a rare smile appeared on his usually cool face.
"Of course not! Mommy loves us super much. I'll take you back to see Mommy. Mommy will definitely be super happy to see you."
Christian exaggeratedly said, grabbing Christopher's hand and starting to walk towards home.
Christopher followed for two steps but then seemed to realize something and stopped in his tracks. He blinked in confusion. "What about Dad?"
"Dad?!" Christian's eyes lit up as he realized an important question and asked excitedly, "So are you living with Dad?"
"Yeah." Christopher nodded heavily. Seeing that his brother hadn't grasped the key point yet, he explained the grievances between Dad and Mommy.
"It seems that Dad and Mommy had a very unhappy separation back then. Dad doesn't allow me to mention Mommy."
Christian pulled his hair in distress, wearing a troubled expression.
"Is that so? Mommy doesn't seem to like Dad either. She tells me and Eleanor, we don't have a Dad! What should we do? I want to have a Dad and a Mommy, I hope our family can always be together and never separate."
Who wouldn't want such a beautiful wish?
Christopher's expression was complicated as he carefully analyzed, "If Dad and Mommy know about our existence, they might fight for our custody!"
"What should we do then?" Christian's little head was almost tied in a knot.
Christopher furrowed his brows.
Suddenly, the two little guys turned their heads at the same time, and in unison, they said, "We can help them reconcile!"
"Yeah!" Christian's eyes sparkled, letting go of his hair, excitedly reaching out his thumbs up. "Bro, let's make a pact"
