Episode 16

The governess was in her fifties. She had been serving Enrico's father for a long time, so she could say that she had seen him grow up and felt distressed to see Enrico sinking deeper into the struggle for power, but she also knew that he couldn't go back.

"In such a rich and influential family like the Moretti family, if you don't fight back, you can end up being crushed by everyone else. Mr. Enrico became the youngest patriarch the family has ever had, and with that, each of his relatives received their punishment."

Igor looked at her with interest, wanting to know what her mysterious future husband had done to his family.

"What did he do?"

"The family of his elder uncle was sent to prison, his younger uncle's family went bankrupt, only his aunt's family, who helped with his parents' funeral, was spared. They agreed to live under Mr. Enrico's rule, taking a position in the Moretti group, and they need to report everything to him."

Igor thought for a moment about what he had heard and expressed his opinion.

"That's good!"

"What?"

"I said Enrico is very good. When people don't provoke him, he can put aside the power, fame, and fortune to live in peace, but when they hurt him, he can become a real weapon and take them down."

Odette observed his expression as she spoke about Enrico and couldn't help but ask.

"Do you think what he did is appropriate?"

"Yes, he didn't kill them. It's not like he did something wrong. His ability to rise above problems shows that his ability to control a situation is much superior to others."

Igor paused, thinking about Enrico's appearance, completing his observation.

"Besides, he is handsome."

He smiled, and Odette couldn't help but smile too, but shaking her head afterward. Igor noticed the child in the room, putting away his book and obediently lining up for dismissal, realizing that he hadn't asked a question.

"What's the child's name?"

"Samuel Moretti. In the family, his nickname is little hamster, given his chubby cheeks that resemble a guinea pig."

"That's a cute nickname," he smiled, unsure about something. "And what about his paternal grandparents?"

"Mr. Enrico convinced them to let him raise the child from a young age. Since the Moretti family is rich and powerful, and Mr. Enrico was the one leading the family, they didn't oppose it because they knew he would be well-raised. As for the change in surname, it was also something done by Mr. Enrico."

"Mr. Igor, wait here, I'll get the little one and be right back."

Igor waited as she asked, soon seeing the little child coming over. Looking closely, he could see that what she said was true, those chubby cheeks resembled a guinea pig. With his kindergarten outfit, he looked extremely cute.

"Come, Grandma Odette will show you someone."

Odette looked at Igor, not sure how to introduce him to the little one since Enrico and Igor were still engaged by word only and had not officially married yet. Igor, finding the child adorable, crouched down to talk to him, squeezing his cheeks.

"Little hamster, nice to meet you. How about calling me big brother? I will buy you lots of candies."

"No."

Samuel refused with a severe expression on his face, passed by him with his backpack, and headed towards the car. Igor was rarely refused by a child, stood up bewildered, unsure whether to laugh or cry. The two followed the little hamster, and Odette explained to him in a low voice.

"Mr. Igor, don't take offense, but the little one grew up alongside Mr. Enrico, so his nature is a bit more mature and tough than children his age."

Igor actually took it seriously and snorted in disagreement.

"That's all because of his uncle. He keeps that stern face all day, and the child just followed his example, becoming a grumpy little adult."

Odette smiled and did not refute, what he said could be true, since now her little boss was a copy of Enrico when he was a child. The car was parked in the same spot, the child arrived and tried to get into the car with his short little legs, but he was struggling.

Igor, seeing the child's difficulty getting into the car, approached and grabbed the child by the collar, lifting him up. The child, who was suddenly lifted and placed on the seat, was amazed, just like Enrico, who was about to reach out his hand to the child, but was startled for a few seconds, looking at Igor with a certain helplessness in his eyes.

"Igor, how could you lift a child like that?"

In truth, Igor had no idea, he thought he could do it like he did with a kitten, by holding it by the scruff of the neck.

"Sorry," he shrugged, "I have no experience, it's easier this way."

That helplessness in Enrico's eyes became even greater, in light of the other's response, he knew his fiancé was not the conventional type, and mentally prepared himself for what would come.
