CHAPTER 25: CHAPTER 25: THE MINIATURE KUDO SHINICHI

Vera Yates appeared here with an injury, truly surprising everyone. She returned right after being bandaged, without any delay, impressing everyone with her dedication. Even with an injury, the actress wouldn’t let anything hold up filming.

The young assistant glanced at Vera Yates who was in the process of getting her makeup done, slightly furrowing her brows.

This woman is truly good at acting, clearly pretending from the start. She even applied a makeup look to appear weak beforehand, acting like she was so dedicated.

The assistant’s gaze grew darker, the stinging pain on her arm reminded her of her earlier anger.

If not for Vera Yates, how would she have gotten hurt?

"Miss Vance, your arm..." The makeup artist was a bit troubled. Although medicine was applied, the wounds on her arm were fresh. If removed now and covered with foundation and concealer, it might worsen the injury.

"It’s fine, just apply it."

With gritted pristine teeth biting her lips, she forcefully tore off the bandages on her arm. The shocking wounds made the makeup artist feel a surge of empathy as she looked at her pretty face, leading to a newfound admiration.

"Miss Vance, with this dedication, it’s unjust if you don’t become a star."

...

Chubby little hands rapidly tapped on the tablet screen. A four-year-old child not only had the intelligence of a child genius but even typing was effortless. He wasn’t as fluent in Chinese as in English but typing a few simple words was no problem.

Evan Quinn’s little hand lightly pressed the enter key, his bright eyes scanning the news carefully. If Sienna Quinn were here, she would be shocked to discover.

He was actually searching for information about Vera Yates!

The little hand slowly slid down, his originally calm face suddenly froze upon seeing the man standing next to Vera Yates on the screen, his gaze grew profound.

He picked up a mirror nearby, gazing at his own baby-faced reflection, still able to tell the resemblance to the man’s face despite his young age.

That man appeared to be the grown-up version of Evan Quinn.

Click!

The door opening sound snapped Evan Quinn out of his thoughts. Quick on his feet, he closed the webpage and waddled his chubby little body to the doorway.

"Mommy~"

The childish voice dispelled Sienna Quinn’s day’s fatigue.

Kneeling down, she scooped that round, chubby little body into her arms, gently ruffling his neatly styled hair.

Evan Quinn pouted in dissatisfaction, "Mommy, you’ve messed up my hair. It won’t look nice now."

"He’s not big, but already a little fashionista."

Sienna Quinn laughed aloud, cupping Evan Quinn’s little face and planting a big kiss on it.

"How was your day at home? Tomorrow you can go to kindergarten." Sienna remembered something important. She had asked Danielle Carter to find a good kindergarten, preferably located between home and the office, so she could pick Evan Quinn up after work.

Upon hearing he had to go to kindergarten, his face showed displeasure as he stubbornly raised his little head, "Can I not go? When I was in France, I already knew everything they teach at kindergarten. Watching those kids struggling to learn every day, made me anxious for them."

Sienna was speechless. Seriously, not every kid is a prodigy like you. Those children are normal kids. She often wondered if Evan Quinn’s extraordinary intelligence wasn’t inherited from her. Though hard to admit, he resembled Landon Lawson very much.

A miniature version of Kudo Shinichi.

"You need to play with other kids more. Being alone every day might lead to problems. Besides, I can’t leave you home alone unwatched." No matter how extraordinary, he’s still a child after all.

Seeing her decision was made, Evan Quinn sighed, realizing he couldn’t avoid the kindergarten issue. He could only hope the kids there were smart and wouldn’t struggle too much with math.

Sienna coaxed Evan Quinn to sleep, then went to take a shower, and sat on the couch, looking through the documents in her hand.

These were given to her by Danielle Carter, recording information on the Lawson Group’s collaboration with HR Group. Knowing the opponent is crucial, even if the opponent is Landon Lawson, Sienna wouldn’t hold back.

After setting the documents aside, she looked towards the bedroom, her beautiful eyes sinking into thought.

If Evan Quinn stayed by her side, there was a high risk of his identity being exposed. If Landon Lawson found out about him, he wouldn’t let it go.

Though she wanted revenge, Sienna didn’t intend to disrupt Evan Quinn’s life. After resolving the HR Group matters, she decided to send Evan back to France to be looked after by her friends.

Once things were settled, she’d either bring him back or join him in France for a new life.

The next morning, Evan Quinn woke up early, lightly patting Sienna Quinn’s face.

"Mommy, wake up. If you sleep more, you’ll be late for kindergarten."

Sienna groggily opened her eyes, seeing the big little face in front of her, turning over. She had stayed up late reading documents the night before and was barely waking up when Evan woke her.

"What time is it?"

"Mommy, it’s seven o’clock. Aren’t you going to work? If you don’t go, you’ll be fired, and we’d have to survive on the northwest wind."

Northwest wind? Sienna squinted her eyes. How did this kid manage to pick up these phrases so quickly since arriving in the country?

Because of Evan Quinn, Sienna early on took him to the kindergarten that Danielle Carter had arranged. Looking at the bilingual kindergarten, Evan Quinn lightly touched his nose.

"Mommy, I really don’t think I need to come here,"

"No way, you must get along with the kids here."

Seeing Sienna’s stubborn expression, Evan Quinn knew no matter how much he argued, he couldn’t change the outcome, so he sighed with mild frustration.

Teacher Cole spotted the pair standing at the entrance. The woman dressed in a clean, neat business suit and the little toddler in biker attire, a true little fashionista.

"Are you the new little friend at the kindergarten? Say goodbye to mommy." The young Teacher Cole smiled warmly as she approached, giving Sienna a gentle smile.
