Chapter 284 – Ch. 284 Meet His Birth Father


    Den looked down the street to see the area of ??the road he was passing. He patiently waited for his phone signal to appear so he could contact Roxy or his right-hand man.


    The longer the wheels he was riding entered the mountainous area, the more uneasy he felt as if he had entered enemy territory alone.


    Was it wrong to make a decision to meet his father?


    "I thought we''re going to Mr. Gonzales''s ce." Den didn''t know that his father had changed their meeting location.


    "Yes, we are going there, sir. My master inquired you to his house to have dinner together. And he would love you to stay overnight."


    One of Den''s eyebrows shot up hearing this.


    His secretary had booked a hotel suite in the town because he wasn''t nning on staying at his father''s house. But since it was his father who wanted him to stay the night, Den had no reason to refuse.


    Not long after, they arrived at a magnificent vi with many shady trees around it. The sun was almost setting, and the weather around them was getting colder. And not to forget, they had entered winter, so every breath Den breathed out was cold steam.


    Den put his hands in his jacket pockets as soon as he got out of the car. He had looked back at his phone, and there was still no signal he could receive.


    Inevitably Den had to wait until tomorrow when he came down the mountain and got the signal back.


    "Please, sir. Master has been waiting for you."


    Den followed the driver into the vi, and another older man warmly greeted Den. This man seemed to live here as a head attendant.


    "Good evening, young master Den. It''s my pleasure to serve you."


    Young master Den?


    Den remembered neither the driver who picked him up nor the butler called hisst name. This driver only wrote his name on a namete so Den would recognize him, but never once did the driver state hisst name.


    And now the maids of this ce call him young master?


    "I''m not your master. I''m here for business with Mr. Gonzalez."


    "Indeed. Pleasee in."


    Den sighed in resignation and followed the old butler. He was relieved that he no longer had to be cold and could take off his ck coat.


    Somehow he felt he would not like his meeting with his father.


    It wasn''t that he didn''t feel enthusiastic about meeting his birth father. At that time, his mother took him away forcibly without letting him say goodbye to his father first.


    Den remembered that his father pampered him and always looked after him whenever the older man came home from work. His father even took time amid his busy life just to apany him to study, y and even take him to school before leaving for the office.


    Den whole-heartedly admired his father, and he''d be lying if he said he wasn''t looking forward to their reunion at all.


    That''s why he immediately changed his mind when his adoptive father showed him a photo of Dario Gonzales. Den couldn''t remember his father''s name, nor did he remember what his father looked like. But when he saw the image of Dario Gonzales, Den instantly knew… the man was his birth father.


    But… somehow, ever since he entered this mountainous area, Den felt restless.


    Did something happen to Roxy? Or… will his reunion with his father after more than twenty years of no see be disastrous?


    Den didn''t know the answer and could only wait for his father to appear in silence.


    The butler led him into a room he thought was Dario Gonzales'' study room.


    "Please, think of it as your home, young master." that''s what the butler said before going out, leaving Den alone in this room.


    Think as it was his home? Was it because the man knew that he was Dario Gonzales''s son?


    Den walked over, and like a child curious about something, Den looked around the room.


    Without realizing it, a small smile graced his face.


    "That old man hasn''t changed at all. He still loves to read." Den remembered his father''s study and bedroom filled with business and quarry books.


    His father''s books even filled almost the entire room in his house, making his mother nag. Unlike his father, who loved to read, his mother hated reading books.


    Den scanned the cab filled with his father''s books with one hand while reminiscing about a past he hadn''t thought about in a long time.


    When the ck family adopted him, Den has decided to forget his memories with his family. But apparently, he didn''t manage to forget it because now the memories came to the surface as if he had never thrown them away.


    Come to think of it, why did his mother decide to leave his father?


    For as long as he could remember, his parents loved each other and rarely quarreled, although they often bickered.


    Den was curious, but he could never find the answer. But one thing he knows, this is all his mother''s fault. Nevertheless, he neither hated his mother nor med her anymore.


    Den walked over to the rows of books until he saw a small frame. There he saw a pair of young men and women while behind them was a beautiful flower garden.


    The young man''s face was very simr to him, although there were some differences. Was that young man his father when he was young?


    Then what about the girl next to him?


    He saw his young father embracing the girl, and his gaze was fixed on the girl with a look of adoration. On the other hand, the girl smiled widely, and her gaze was fixed on the camera.


    Is this his mother?


    No. That girl was not her mother. Although he didn''t quite remember his mother''s face, he felt absolutely sure that she wasn''t his mother.


    Then who is that girl? Why did he feel familiar with the woman?


    "Oh, you found something I wanted to hide."


    Den turned around when he heard that deep voice filled with authority and saw… his father.


    His birth father.
