I’m Someone Else

“I’ve missed you so much, son!” Norman’s eyes welled up with tears, feeling guilty toward his son.

Eira Denver, Olivia’s birth mother, was still alive when Gavin was young, and Norman was fearful of her. After all, she was of the prominent Denver Family. Plus, the Denvers supported him in many ways during his campaign to become the patriarchy of the Pearson Family. Though Eira never forbade him from being with other women, he still feared upsetting her. Hence, he could only send Gavin and Lilith abroad.

However, just when Eira finally passed, her father, Harrison, stepped forward and forbade him from bringing Gavin into the Pearson Family. Helpless, Norman had to let his son continue living overseas.

Over the years, Norman would dream about his beloved son almost every night and longed for a reunion. When it became too much to bear, he would go overseas to visit them on the pretext of a business trip. However, that was not a long-term solution.

This time, Terrence finally convinced his father-in-law, and he could finally openly welcome them back as a mother and son. As such, how could Norman not be excited?

“Dad, what is up with you?” Gavin was rather perplexed and turned to his mother for help.

Lilith quickly came to her precious son’s rescue. “What is up with you, Norman? Why are you crying? Is this how the patriarch of the Pearson Family should behave? It would be quite a joke if this got out!”

“You don’t understand…” Norman shook his head.

“Alright, that’s enough. It’s our reunion today. Don’t spoil the mood by crying,” said Lilith with a smile before handing Norman a tissue. “Wipe your tears away. We should be celebrating.”
