Take My Breath Away

The money award for the first prize was five hundred thousand dollars, and the second was three hundred thousand.

After the competition, Erma immediately bought five air tickets to Y City using her money award.

Since she bought first class tickets, she spent around three hundred thousand dollars.

Two days later, at Y City Airport, a video of a woman advertising a name-brand dress appeared on the huge screen. She had a perfect figure and a beautiful face that attracted many people's attention.

An old man with grey hair walked out of the VIP corridor. Looking at the woman on the screen, he nodded with satisfaction. He then muttered to himself, "Wesley's daughter-in-law is indeed excellent. In just two years, she has become an international superstar. Alas, it's been three years, but I still don't know where Erica and my two grandchildren are. It's so disappointing!"

The old man was none other than Carlos. He put on his sunglasses and continued to walk towards the gate of the airport.

A few moments later, several kids passed by the same corridor. They stopped for a while and stood there, enjoying the advertisement on the big screen. "Aunt Chantel has become so popular in the past two years, hasn't she?" remarked one of them.

"Yes, that's right. I can see her everywhere," another boy said. "Have you seen the movie Youth in Yesterday? She is the lead actress in that movie."

"Of course, I have. Her acting skill is so good that she can beat anyone else in the same movie."

"All right, that's enough. Let's go! If we are late, we won't be able to catch up to Grandpa."

While the children were walking and talking, they also attracted many people's attention. "Wow, they look exactly the same!"

"Yes, their clothes and faces are exactly the same. They are so handsome."

"They are too small to travel by themselves. I think they are only about four or five years old. Why is there no adult with them?"

At this moment, the boys that they were talking about ran to the exit hand in hand and stopped an old man.

A black limo halted in front of Carlos outside the exit. He was about to get in the car when suddenly, some cute little boys rushed to him while calling out loudly, "Grandpa! Grandpa!"

Carlos turned around and saw some handsome boys in black T-shirts and jeans running towards him.

Before he could react, the boys pushed his assistant aside and surrounded him. "Grandpa, I'm the eldest child!"

"Grandpa, I'm the second!"

"Grandpa, I'm the third!"

"Grandpa, I'm the fourth!"

Then, the four of them looked at the last one at the same time.

The last one, who was a black kid, swallowed nervously and greeted Carlos in nonstandard Mandarin, "Grandpa, I'm the youngest."

Looking at the four boys who looked the same and a black-skinned boy in front of him, Carlos was in a daze for a long time. When he finally came back to his senses, he asked, "Boys, who are you?"

The five kids answered in chorus, "We are your grandchildren!"

"W-what?" he blurted out. Unbelievable! How could he have so many grandsons? Still stupefied, he wondered where these boys came from.

The oldest boy smiled and said, "Grandpa, you don't have to doubt us. Our mother is Erma Huo. Oh no. I mean Erica Li."

Then the second added politely, "Grandpa, Mom can't afford to raise us anymore."

With a playful smile on his face, the third said, "Grandpa, Mom told us to come back and look for you and Dad."

The fourth smiled sweetly. "Grandpa, don't worry. We will be filial to you and Grandma."

The last child, who obviously couldn't fit in, was so anxious that he sweated. The only thing he could shout was, "Grandpa! Grandpa!"

Carlos suddenly felt suffocated. What was happening now was too overwhelming. Of course, he knew that Erica was pregnant when she left three years ago.

He had even been longing for his grandchildren. But why were there five boys in front of him all of a sudden? And the youngest one was a black boy.

What was this? A gene mutation?

He decisively took out his phone and dialed Matthew's number.

Inside the meeting room of ZL Group, the senior executives were holding an emergency meeting and solemnly discussing the details of tomorrow's press conference.

The man in the CEO's seat, who was giving off a strong aura, listened to the report of the planning manager expressionlessly. However, the way he was constantly stroking the wedding ring on his finger didn't escape everyone's eyes.

The planning manager wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "Mr. Huo, that's what the staff of the planning department have been working on for half a month now." Matthew's terrifying aura made him so anxious that he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

On Matthew's 29th birthday, Carlos had finally transferred everything in ZL Group to him, so he now had the final say in the company. He was now the official CEO of the company.

Finally, his thin lips opened slightly. He was about to comment on the planning manager's report when the phone on his desk suddenly vibrated. He glanced at the screen and saw Carlos' name flashing.

He canceled the call, indicating that he was busy.

"The concept of the product is not—"

Before he could finish his words, his phone vibrated again. Since Carlos was calling him persistently, it must be something important.

This had been the tacit understanding between Carlos and him for so many years.

If Matthew canceled his call, Carlos already knew that he was busy. But if he called again, Matthew knew that it was something urgent and important.

So he answered the phone immediately. "Dad, what's up?" he asked in a calm voice.

Carlos' voice was so excited that even Owen, who was sitting next to Matthew, overheard it. "Son, you're in big trouble!"

'Son? He doesn't normally call me that. What happened to him? Why does he sound so excited?' Matthew wondered inwardly. "What is it?" he asked indifferently.

"Son, come to the airport right now and pick up your sons. By the way, one car is not enough. Bring at least three cars."

"What did you say?" Upon hearing the word "sons," Matthew, who had always been calm, couldn't keep his cool anymore. He suddenly stood up from his seat, which stunned everyone. The meeting room fell silent. Everyone wondered what had happened to make their cold CEO so excited.

Carlos held one of his grandsons in his arm and said with a broad smile, "Your sons are here."

'My sons? Is Rika back?' Excitement wrapped his handsome face at the thought of Erica coming back. But when he realized where he was and that there were more than ten pairs of eyes staring at him, he adjusted his mood and suppressed the mixed emotions that rose in his heart. Soon enough, he regained his usual calm. "Why do I need to bring three cars?" he asked.

His mind was occupied by the thoughts that the woman he had been looking for more than three years had finally appeared.

"Because you have so many sons," Carlos answered excitedly.

Matthew motioned for his subordinates to continue the meeting as he walked towards the door with his phone without saying anything. "I have two sons, right?" he asked again.

"No, no, no. Listen, I will count them for you. One, two, three, four. They are quadruplets. And there is also the fifth one." 'The Huo family have so many grandsons now, ' Carlos thought happily while counting the kids.

He was already imagining the manor being turned upside down by these kids soon.

Matthew was dumbfounded. 'My sons are quadruplets and not twins? And what does Dad mean there is a fifth one?' He had a lot of questions in his mind. But eventually, he asked Carlos the question he had wanted to ask the most. "Is Rika there?"

Carlos took off his sunglasses and looked at the exit of the airport for a long time. Then he answered, "She isn't here."
