After the incident at the restaurant, Elliot decided to take the kids to his house so they could rest a bit since he wanted to talk to James about what had just happened, 

When they got to the house, Erika tried to distract Elizabeth so they could talk in private before Deborah and Jayden arrived. They had already been informed about what had happened. 

George and Elliot took James to the study because they wanted to question him. 

“James, come here for a moment,” George called, gesturing for him to sit in one of the chairs in the room. 

“You too, Max, come over,” Elliot said in a serious tone. 

“Wow… the way you said that made me feel like a little kid about to be scolded by his dad,” Max joked. “Well, maybe we will have to scold you and your sister, George replied playfully. 

“Ugh…” Max said, sitting down next to James. 

Why are you going to scold him, Grandpa?” 

“Before I answer that…” George began, getting comfortable in his seat. “James… tell me something, Is it true what your uncle told me?” 

“About what…” 

“Do you know who Roger Peterson is?” 

“Yes,” he said, grimacing as he started to fidget with his hands. 

“James…” The office door opened just then, and Deborah and Jayden walked in, looking anxious. 

“Mom, Dad,” the boy said, feeling them hug him. 

“Mr. George, what are you doing?” Jayden asked, frowning, because they had overheard the question he asked James. 

“Dad, don’t be mad at Grandpa,” James pleaded before looking at the older man. “And yes, I know who he is… he’s Grandpa’s first son, and…” He glanced at his dad before lowering his eyes. “My biological father.” “James…” Deborah was frightened to hear those words coming from her eight–year–old son. 

Jayden was also speechless, now clenching his fists. “Who… who told you that?” 

“No one told me… I figured it out on my own.” 

“But son…” 

“Mom, don’t be mad at Uncle or Grandpa. I did my own research because I was curious after what I heard at Grandpa’s party, so I started looking into it on the internet.” 

Deborah and Jayden both grimaced, because it was obvious that with a quick search, he’d find the truth they didn’t want him to know until he was a teenager.

“James… …” 

“Don’t cry, Mommy,” he said, hugging her. “I don’t blame you for leaving that man, besides, I’m happy with you, Dad, and my siblings.” 

“James…” Jayden smiled and hugged him. 

“I promise, from now on, we won’t have any more secrets, okay?” Deborah said. 

“Um…” 

“James?” Jayden raised an eyebrow at that comment. 

“Well, we…” he said, glancing at Max, who looked nervous, “we do have one more secret.” 

“What secret?” asked Jayden. 

“… I’ve already spoken in person with Mr. Roger.” 

“What?!” all the adults said, except for Max. 

“Wait… what do you mean you’ve already spoken with my brother?” Elliot exclaimed. 

“When?” Deborah asked, worried. 

“When I found out everything, a month after Grandpa’s party. I asked Max to help me find him so I could talk to him in person.” 

“Max…” Jayden and Deborah looked him in the eyes, making him tremble slightly under their piercing 

gaze. 

“Seems like you’ll be getting punished like a little kid,” George said, giving Max a sideways glance. 

“Um… in my defense, it was more of an order than a request, and I’m supposed to obey as well as protect him since he’s my bosses‘ son.” 

“Ah…” Jayden let out a loud sigh, feeling like all this information was going to make his head explode.” We’ll talk about that later… but now tell us, how did you find him?” he asked, looking into his son’s eyes.
