The dashing man on the left side had thick eyebrows and starry eyes.
Joey immediately recognized the similarities he had with him. The man was handsomely dressed in a suit and stood tall next to Maria.
Although he hadnt seen the man before, Joey soon realized who he was. He must be Odin.
If Im not mistaken, youve lived with just your mother since childhood, right? Maria asked.
Have you ever seen your father?
Joey looked up at her without saying anything.
Your father is my son. His name is Odin Sullivan. Im not mistaken.
You are my grandson. Afraid that Joey didnt believe her, Maria continued, Four years ago, your parents fell in love with each other at a wine party. It only took a short while for me to find out. I disliked your mother because of her poor background, so I gave her

generous sum of money on the condition that she would leave your father. I had no clue that she was already pregnant with you at that time. It was not until a few days ago that I learned your mother gave birth to you. When I sent someone to pick you up, you were no longer there. I know you will hate me for breaking up your parents

Joey looked at Maria and bit his lip. He still didnt say anything.
His big eyes blinked without showing any emotion. No one knew what was going through his mind at the moment.
Maria was very kind and gentle to him, but even though she had said so many sentimental words, there was no joy in her eyes. Something felt amiss.
Her demeanor was somewhat distant, and her sweet actions seemed forced. She didnt seem ecstatic to have found her long-lost grandson.
It seemed like she was an actress playing her part. Or a trickster putting on a show.
Joey had no idea what Maria wanted from him, but he didnt intend to be nice to her. He drew back his hand and said firmly, You are not my grandmother.
But
Im afraid I must go now. Joey got up from the sofa and spoke politely but with an air of indifference.
Although your story is very touching, its such a pity that youve got the wrong person. I do have some resemblance with the man in the photo you showed me.
But it doesnt mean that I am his son. All of a sudden, a lady comes up to me and says I am some strangers son? If my dad finds out about this, he will be outraged by your false claim. Besides, if
I dont return home this instant, Mommy will worry about me. If she cant find me, she will be anxious and report me missing to the police.
The smile on Marias face vanished into thin air.
Joeys message was very clear. If she didnt let him go, the authorities would soon come knocking at her door.
After giving them a warning, Joey turned around and casually walked away.
