Chapter 627

Then, she turned her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Nocturne slowly sat up and rubbed his eyes. “Where am I? Who are you?”

Despite his cool demeanor, Nocturne was prone to bouts of sleepiness. When he was in Manhattan, Agnes would

always take him around.

So, he was used to waking up and falling asleep in different places.

“My name’s Alyssa, and this is my house,” Alyssa was at a loss on how to explain her relationship with Summer.

Nocturne’s voice was polite, “Hello, why am I here?”

Alyssa took Nocturne’s hand, “You fell asleep. Your mom and dad are in the next room. They’ll be here in a bit.”

Nocturne looked surprised, “Dad?”

Alyssa, sensing Summer’s confusion, asked, “Didn’t Agnes ever tell you who your dad is?”

“I don’t have a dad, Nocturne said calmly.

“How could you not have a dad? Your dad is Jared, he’s just next door.”

“Mr. Whitfield?” Nocturne looked puzzled.

Alyssa was at a loss for words.

She could see that Summer had met Jared, but he didn’t know Jared was his father.

Alyssa sighed, “Agnes and Jared will explain it to you later, let’s hang out for a bit and then we’ll have lunch.”

Nocturne obeyed, “Alright.”

Alyssa was surprised by Summer’s calmness.

He was only slightly surprised when he found out who his father was, and now he seemed quite calm.

He didn’t seem surprised or curious at all.

He sat quietly, not at all like a four–year–old kid.

“Summer,” a deep voice suddenly came from the doorway.

Alyssa and Nocturne both looked up.

Alyssa was surprised and stood up unconsciously.

Standing at the door was Ryder.

Why was Ryder back all of a sudden? And who was he calling just now?

Could it be this little boy?

Sure enough, when Nocturne looked up and saw Ryder, he smiled, “Ryder.”

Ryder walked in and Nocturne greeted him, “What are you doing here? Are you looking for my mom?”

“Where’s your mom?”

“In the next room.”

Alyssa was taken aback and was at a loss for words.

What was going on?

Why were they so familiar with each other?

And Alyssa could tell that their familiarity was not something that had developed over a day or two.

It was the kind of affectionate feeling that comes from knowing someone for a long time.

From their conversation, Alyssa could also sense that.

Ryder and Agnes seemed to have met a long time ago too.

Hadn’t Agnes just returned after disappearing for four years?

What was going on?

Alyssa suddenly felt heavy–hearted.

A terrifying thought suddenly came to her mind.

Ryder had turned his head and said, “I’m back.”

Alyssa stood up and asked, “How do you know this kid?”

Ryder glanced at Nocturne and answered, “He’s my patient. I’ve been treating him for almost three years.” Alyssa

was taken aback.

Over the years, Ryder had joined the top international team in neurological research, the Novy Medical Team.

She knew he had been researching sleep disorders, but she had no idea it was for this kid.

Alyssa’s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Nocturne.

Ryder said, “Yes, his name is Nocturne, he has a congenital sleep disorder.”

Alyssa was gobsmacked.
