Felicity drove straight to the penthouse apartment she had purchased before marriage. On the way back, she asked Sienna to arrange for someone to pick up Leo after his extracurricular class.
There was also one matter she needed to confirm.
When Felicity opened the apartment door, the document Sienna had just sent arrived on her phone.
"Mommy!"
A cute little figure appeared from behind the door, opening his small arms wide toward Felicity.
The heart that had hardened while facing everything at the airport instantly softened. Felicity stepped into the apartment and bent down to accept Leo's hug. Her warm cheek pressed against his soft, childlike face.
The warmth of life gave Felicity an indescribable sense of relief. She felt the moisture gathering in the corners of her eyes and quietly sniffed, forcing herself to hold back her emotions.
There was a maturity on Leo's face that did not belong to a child his age. He frowned slightly as he noticed the unusual emotions coming from his mother.
"Mommy, the person who brought me here already told me. You're divorcing that cold-blooded animal in the big house, right?"
In reality, Leo had intercepted Felicity's call records himself, but he decided to phrase it in a more indirect way.
Felicity froze slightly. She didn't expect Sienna to tell Leo about this.
Leo immediately added, "We usually go back to that big house, don't we?"
The explanation made sense easily. Leo was still so young, and it was only natural that he wouldn't understand the reason behind a separation and would ask Sienna about it.
Looking at Leo's quiet and mature expression, Felicity suddenly felt that he was a child who had been forced to grow up too early. A wave of guilt rose in her heart.
She hugged him tighter, her voice carrying a barely noticeable tremble. "I'm sorry, Leo. I couldn't give you a happy family."
Leo reached up and gently stroked the back of her head, comforting her. "It's okay, Mommy. I never liked Kayden anyway, because I could see that he wasn't good to you."
Those words caught the emotion that had been stuck in Felicity's throat. She looked at Leo gently and held his little face in her hands.
"Thank you, my baby."
A child who was not even six years old could already see the truth clearly, while she had spent the past six years unable to see it.
After a wave of helplessness unlike anything she had ever felt, Felicity looked around the clean and tidy apartment, and for the first time, an overwhelming sense of relief and freedom filled her heart.
Felicity's phone screen suddenly lit up. The unread document notification was still displayed. She unlocked her phone, and her expression immediately became focused.
Leo also curiously leaned closer to look. Felicity noticed it, but she had no intention of hiding it from him. She believed Leo had the right to know as well.
The encrypted file was unlocked after Felicity entered Leo's birthday. Her eyes immediately skipped over the complicated data comparisons and landed directly on the conclusion stamped by the authoritative DNA testing institution.
"Based on the analysis, Kayden Miller is excluded as the biological father of the child, Leo."
Although Felicity had already learned this truth in her previous life, the moment she saw it officially confirmed, her heart still trembled uncontrollably.
Eden had not lied. Leo truly was not Kayden's child.
Then whose child was Leo?
After seeing the result, Leo was only briefly surprised. Then he showed an expression that seemed to say, "I knew it," and silently memorized the name of the DNA testing institution.
When Felicity noticed that the gaze beside her had shifted away, she assumed Leo could not accept the truth and hurriedly turned around, wanting to comfort him.
But what she saw was Leo calmly walking toward the laptop that had been placed open on the dining table. His fingers moved quickly across the keyboard, and a look of admiration appeared on his face.
"Mommy, this testing institution is highly confidential and reliable. I already deleted all traces of your submission."
Felicity finally relaxed. Ever since Leo learned to read at the age of three, he had started playing with numbers and technology. By the time he was tall enough to reach the computer keyboard on the desk, he had already become extremely skilled at using code.
Although Felicity didn't fully understand the things Leo was doing, she knew one thing clearly. Leo would always use his abilities to protect her in the best way possible.
Leo continued focusing on the computer, which sparked Felicity's curiosity. She stepped closer to take a look, and a striking logo with a black-and-red design caught her attention.
"LOVELESS."
That was the name of the high-end custom fashion brand she had founded under her own name before marriage. A dream she had buried for a long time.
Leo deliberately scrolled through the page quickly in front of Felicity, allowing the design sketches from the past, each one created with her time, effort, and irreplaceable inspiration, to smoothly appear across the website homepage.
"I rebuilt your brand's official website and registered all the social media accounts," Leo said, lifting his small face as if waiting for praise. "It's time for 'M' to come back."
"M" was the name Felicity used as a designer.
The design sketches glowing on the screen reflected in Felicity's eyes, like sparks of hope coming back to life. She reached out and gently patted Leo's head as a reward.
"Thank you, my little genius."
