As Gregory watched Xander’s face scrunch up in distress, he was at loss
Because of his busy work schedule, he rarely had time to spend wig Xander To him, Sander was just someone he was connected to by blood. There wasn’t much emotional attachment beyond that.
As the CEO of Sinclair Group, Gregory could handle major projects and manage relationships with shareholders and directors with ease, but he had no idea how to handle a crying child. Right now, watching Xander cry so luar, he didn’t know what to do
Xander continued sobbing while repeating, “I want Mom! I want om! Did I make her angry? Is that why she doesn’t want me anymore?”
Gregory’s head was pounding from the sound of Xander’s crying. He glanced at his phone and saw that Anathea still hadn’t responded to his messag
What was going on with her?
A cold anger formed at the edges of Gregory’s brow.
Could Anathea really be so heartless that she didn’t care about Xander at all? If she didn’t care about Xander, did that mean she didn’t care about him either?
Gregory suddenly had an ominous feeling. But more than that, it was anger.

But when he remembered that he might see Anathea at home, he hesitated. In the end, he reluctantly followed Mateo.
Before leaving, he stole a careful glance at Gregory, but Gregory didn’t pay much attention to him. He simply gave Mateo a brief command. “Take good care of him.”
“Of course, Mr. Sinclair.” With that, Mateo took Xander away.
Gregory stared at the chat on his phone, where his message still stood alone. His expression grew darker by the second.
Just then, Martin’s call came through.
Gregory answered immediately. “Did you go to the hospital today?”
Before Martin could respond, Gregory continued, “Didn’t I ask you to tell her? What was her reaction? Why hasn’t she replied to me? What does she want?”
His voice grew louder and louder, laced with unmistakable anger.
Martin was taken aback by Gregory’s barrage of questions. For some reason, he felt that Gregory wasn’t really asking him but

However, he felt the need to report to Gregory first. “Mr. Sinclair, I went to the hospital, but I found that Mrs. Jacobson has been
