Chapter 68
On the first floor of Maple Villas.
Ezra, escorted by Marshall, appeared in the villa’s living room.
Initially, when he woke up to find his mom gone, Ezra felt a bit down in the dumps.
To his surprise, Ezra overheard Marshall was coming over to “Miss Clarke’s” place to pick up the big
jerk, and he immediately brightened up, hopping in the ride without. even washing his face.
“Sorry for disturbing. Young Mr. Kinsman woke up early, itching to find his dad, so I brought him
along…” Marshall held William’s clothes in his hand, looking somewhat embarra**ed at young Mr.
Kinsman who was shamelessly sitting at the table and eating breakfast. He was at his wit’s end.
Ever since the young Mr. Kinsman was found after going missing last time, his personality had changed
considerably, becoming a social butterfly.
Within a matter of minutes, young Mr. Kinsman was already treating this place like home sweet home.
“No worries, Miss Clarke is quite fond of kids. She’d be over the moon to know young Mr. Kinsman is
here.”
As Gideon prepared breakfast for Ezra, he was shooting the breeze.
Gideon would come over to prepare breakfast for Olivia practically every morning.
However, when he met Marshall and Ezra this morning, he discovered that William had spent the night
at home.
With the gossip fire burning in their hearts, they all refrained from disturbing Olivia, who was still fast
asleep.
“Mr. Foster, you haven’t had breakfast yet, have you? Why don’t we break bread together?”
“Ah…” This may not be appropriate.
He wanted to refuse although he was so famished, having spent the night searching for William after
he vanished.
“Uncle Marshall, Uncle Gideon’s pancakes are to die for. Come and have a taste!”
“Well then, I won’t stand on ceremony.”
Marshall blushed and sat down together for breakfast
The first one to come downstairs was William.
Lacking proper clothes, he still wore yesterday’s half-dry pants and a skimpy shirt.

With only two buttons fastened, William revealed most of his chest, looking both posh and bewitching.
“Daddy!” Ezra, the sly one, saw William coming down and immediately bee-lined towards him with his
short legs at top speed.
“Luci? How’d you end up here?” William was slightly taken aback to see Lucian.
William bent down and scooped him up.
“Uncle Marshall mentioned you were here. I missed Daddy, so I tagged along.”
“Daddy, what brought you here?” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
“Daddy wasn’t feeling well yesterday, so I came here and asked Miss Clarke to take a look.”
Hearing this, Ezra felt it made sense. His mom was indeed good at treating patients.
He just didn’t know what kind of doctor needed to draw a big turtle on his chest!
“Mr. Kinsman, these are the clothes I prepared for you.”
Marshall looked at the turtle marks on William’s chest and nearly spat out the porridge in his mouth.
He managed to hold it together and, with a red face, lowered his head and handed over the clothes.
William took the clothes, changed leisurely, and even asked Gideon to whip up a pancake for him.
Marshall watched William sit with them, happily munching on pancakes, and almost thought his eyes
were playing tricks on him.
Who could tell him what on earth happened last night?
Marshall had a sneaking suspicion that someone had pulled a switcheroo on William!
Could it be some sort of soul-swapping incident?
When Olivia went downstairs, she saw the harmonious scene in the dining room and was momentarily
at a loss for words.
“William, why haven’t you left yet?”
Ten minutes later, William and Marshall were unsurprisingly kicked out.
Ezra stood by the huge floor-to-ceiling window, watching the pitiful William and Marshall being shooed
away. He pretended to sympathize and waved at them.
“Mr. Kinsman, is it really okay to leave young Mr. Kinsman here?” Marshall was a bit worried.
This woman named Olivia had too many secrets.

They hadn’t gotten to the bottom of it all yet.
“No worries.”
It was high time Lucian spent more time with his biological mom.
William strode out of the villa with his spirits high, despite being booted out.
Plus, with Lucian staying there, he could pick him up later in the evening.
Kill two birds with one stone!
Caroline showed up at the Kinsman family’s villa early in the morning, claiming she was looking for her
daughter, Gianna.
Butler Ivan, aware that the Clarke family was on the Kinsman family’s blacklist, naturally refused to let
her in. However, Caroline insisted that Gianna attended the party last night and hadn’t returned home
since.
Ivan didn’t buy her story and was about to have her escorted out.
At that moment, Gianna emerged from the backyard, covered in suggestive red marks, insisting she
had spent the night with Mr. Kinsman.
Ivan felt the whole situation was absurd. To avoid tarnishing Mr. Kinsman’s reputation, he reluctantly let
them in and promptly called William.
Caroline and Gianna were seated in the living room, with the Kinsman family’s ser vants giving them a
wide berth.
But Caroline didn’t care. Her daughter would soon be the Mrs. Kinsman. She couldn’t wait to see how
these ser vants would look down on her then!
“My dear daughter, it seems that you were successful last night, huh?”
“It seems so. That aphrodisiac was so potent. I only took a little and my head was already in the clouds.
William is quite the stallion. He kept me up all night…”
As Gianna spoke, she blushed with embarra**ment.
It had been five years, and she hadn’t even held William’s hand. He always seemed to resist her touch.
She once thought that there was something wrong with him, but who knew he’s so hypersexual? Her
waist still ached!
“That’s great. As long as you become Mr. Kinsman’s woman, he’ll definitely take responsibility for you.
My sweet girl, just wait to become the Mrs. Kinsman!”
“But Mom, didn’t we agree that we’d tell William when I’m pregnant? Why are you here so early this
morning?”
“Silly girl, after giving it some thought, I reckon the sooner, the better. If you can’t get pregnant later on,
won’t it be useless?”
“I’m sure I’ll get pregnant. I’ve been at it all night. My waist feels like it’s about to snap…”

“Yes, yes, my daughter is the Mrs. Kinsman. But where is William? Why hasn’t he come out yet? Look
at you, why hasn’t he taken you to change your clothes?”
“I don’t know. When I woke up this morning, I was alone.”
“What? That’s outrageous!” Mr. Kinsman was quite the cad. A woman’s clothes had been torn to
shreds, and he didn’t even bother to care?
Caroline grumbled in her heart and even felt that something was off.
“Gianna, are you sure the man you slept with last night was Mr. Kinsman?”
“Mom, how can you ask that? Of course, it was William. Who else could it be?” Who else could be so
irresistible that she couldn’t help herself from falling for him!
“But when I arrived, you weren’t in Mr. Kinsman’s room but in the backyard. Where did you go last
night?”
When Caroline thought back to how she had seen Gianna in the morning, she felt something was
amiss.
“Oh, I just went to the garden shed in the backyard. That’s where I was when I woke up!” Gianna
lowered her head and blushed, feeling a little embarra**ed.
“Sweetheart, this is a crucial event that determines success or failure. Are you sure you’re seeing him
clearly?”
“Of course, Mom, don’t you trust me? Just wait to become the mother-in-law of the Kinsman family!”
