“Hey, Mom, you came,” Rowan greeted her. He sat up and rubbed his drowsy eyes.
Alana shot a warning glare but said nothing.
Rowan ignored her. He grasped his mother’s hand and guided her over to Shane’s desk.

“You two should have met before, right? Mom, is this man my daddy?” he blurted out, excitement bubbling in his voice.
A flash of panic flashed in Alana’s eyes. She shot a quick look at Shane before leaning in and whispering, “Rowan, can you stop making trouble? Let’s go home. Don’t interrupt Mr. Channing’s work”
After giving Shane a brief nod, she began to lead Rowan away.
However, Shane wasn’t finished yet. He slid a jewellery box their way. “Hold up. I’d like to hear about the story behind this emerald bracelet
Emerald bracelet! Hearing this, she immediately turned her head. Only then did she see the emerald bracelet she had received five years ago,
Alana halted abruptly, her mind racing Hote did that bracelet end up here? Did Rowan dig it out in his quest to find his real father?

“I stumbled upon this bracelet while I was overseas. I tried to track down the owner ever since, but no luck. Could it be yours. Mr. Channing?” Alana asked, trying to appear calm.
Five years ago, on the day of the car accident, she went to visit her father’s grave and brought this emerald bracelet with her. At that time, she intended to contact Shane to give that bracelet back, but fate had other plans.
Unexpectedly, there was an accident and she was saved by Andrew who happened to be there.
Although this emerald bracelet had been with her for five years, she had never observed it because she only kept it temporarily. Of course, she had no idea that there was the Channings symbol engraved on the inside of it.
Found it? How lucky! Where did you pick it up?” Shane inquired, his gaze unwavering.
Alana made up a story. “I just found it on my way to work.”
Shane studied her intently, partially buying her story.
Her voice and appearance didn’t look like Celia at all, but the look in her eyes and the way she breathed triggered a memory.

“Do you happen to know a woman named Celia?” he pressed, his eyes locked on her. His heart subconsciously pounded.
Rowan’s heart trembled slightly when he heard this. Celia was Mommy’s real name.
It seems they had known each other,
I’ve never heard of her,” Alana replied, batting her eyelashes innocently. After pondering for a while, she added, “Mr. Channing, now the emerald bracelet has been returned to its rightful owner. If there is nothing else, I will take this child home. I apologise again for causing you so much trouble!”
Hearing this. Shane gestured at Jim who stood at his side to escort the two back. After that, he lowered his head and remained
silent.
There was a fleeting look of disappointment in his eyes.
Rowan was disappointed as well; he shot his mom a puzzled look.
Why don’t admit that you are Celia? Why do you pretend not to know her?

Alana finally let out a relieved sigh when she walked out of the CEO’s office and took the elevator down.
Down in the lobby, Ethan and two officers were waiting. They departed after hearing Alana’s explanation.
She maintained a cold face until she started her car and drove miles away.
“Rowan, shouldn’t you explain to me about what happened today?” she said.
Rowan felt a surge of frustration. He was deflecting, avoiding the main topic. “Why don’t you just admit that you are Celiak What was your previous relationship with Shane
