Chapter 338 It Turned Out That My Name Is Pearce
Rihan brought Madeline and the three kids to the villa they used to stay in when they were in Uranica
last time. As for Albert, returning to Uranica was a homecoming for him, so after alighting the flight,
Madeline allowed him to take care of his own matters.
Five years ago, the person who saved Madeline sent Albert to her side so that he could take care of
various things for her while assisting her. Although Madeline had given Albert a lot of monetary
benefits, she knew that in the end, Albert had a contractual obligation to that person.
“I always make sure that cleaners come and clean this place. Your stuff is basically untouched. You can
live here for now,” Rihan opened the door of the villa for them, and she helped them to move their
pieces of luggage.
Thomas was leading Colton around the house, “Colt, let me show you our secret base!”
Mackenzie was casually strolling behind them. Without her fingerprint, they would not be able to enter
that area.
“Who’s that kid?” When Colton was no longer in sight, Rihan asked.
Madeline smiled, “He’s my son as well. They are triplets.”
“Oh, my god. Triplets? Maddie, you’re too lucky,” Rihan was covering her mouth in astonishment.
Madeline bantered with her for a little more before starting to unpack their luggage. Rihan knew that
Madeline did not enjoy excessive company from others, so she left her to her own devices.
On the third floor, Thomas and Colton were standing in front of a room. Thomas was scratching his
head as he said sheepishly, “I’ve forgotten that only Zeke’s fingerprints can let us access this room.”
In the beginning, both of them could enter this room via fingerprints, but one time, after losing to
Mackenzie in a race, Thomas gave up his qualifications to enter this room.
“It’s useless for you to run so far ahead, don’t you think?” Mackenzie was slowly strolling toward them.
Thomas was eager as he urged her, “Zeke, open the door now. Colt will be so surprised to see our
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsecret base!”
“Are you rushing me to do this?” Mackenzie’s brows shot up.
Thomas quickly shook his head, “Not at all. Take your time.”
Then, he made a funny face at Mackenzie who had just turned around.
Colton was envious of how they were teasing each other, but he still had that unnatural calm
demeanor, as if he was not a child at all.
Mackenzie quickly unlocked the room with her fingerprints for Colton’s sake.
When the door opened, Colton saw a very modern room. There were electronic devices everywhere,
and there were even robots.
“Pearce, open the game room.”
“Opening the game room now.”
When Mackenzie gave out an order, the doors behind the computer room automatically slid away to
reveal a very cool game room. It could even serve as a playground with high-tech facilities.
Thomas dashed off into the room, and he let himself into a bumper car. He waved at Colton, “Colt,
come join me!”
Colton did not move an inch. Instead, he asked Mackenzie, “Pearce? Who’s that?”
“Pearce is the name of the artificial intelligence system in this place, and it’s also a name that was
meant for you. Mommy said that when you were taken away by daddy back then, she gave you this
name as a promise to bring you back to her.” Mackenzie explained.
In fact, Thomas and Mackenzie were in the dark about Colton’s existence when they were still in
Uranica, therefore that was why Thomas had pretended to be Colton when they came back to Imperia.
Madeline only told them the truth much later on.
Colton felt that something was moving his heart. Thomas saw that Colton was uninterested in playing
with him, so he held Colton’s hands and introduced him to the things in their room.
“Look at this computer, we have the latest technology running in there. It’s given to us by our godfather,
and the three of us have one each. I thought that one of these belonged to mommy, but she barely
used it. I was always wondering, but it turns out that mommy wants to give this to you someday. Look
at these superhuman suits too, it’s basically impenetrable. You can’t even damage it by burning it, and
each of us has our own suit.”
Thomas continued excitedly, “Have you been in a bumper car before? I was the one who chose this
dark blue color paint. Do you like it? It can even transform!”
Thomas got into his black bumper car again, and then he played around with the steering wheel, which
made the car transform into a cool robot.
“Colt, you get into that one. We can even fight against each other! Zeke always cries whenever she
loses, so can’t go all out against her!”
Colton was still a child at heart. A child who was five-year-end would not be able to resist such toys, so
he finally got into that bumper car after Thomas’ convincing words.
Mackenzie patiently taught him how to maneuver the car, but Colton was able to learn the ropes fast
because he was smart.
The two boys were having so much fun in their transformer cars while Mackenzie was on her computer.
Her computer was pink in color, and the background picture was Xander’s face.
As she looked at his picture, she could not help but recall the good times back when they were still in
Uranica.
She vividly remembered that she was vehemently against Madeline and Thomas siding with Noah in
the first place, and she kept throwing in reminders to stop them from getting tricked by Noah. She
wanted them to remember that Noah was their enemy, and her godfather was family.
However, in the end, she became close to Noah also well.
For some reason, she felt guilty about her godfather.
Despite that, the image of Noah lying on the floor when Madeline had taken her away still lingered in
her mind. She felt sorry for him as well.
Who should she choose? Mackenzie moved her mouse absentmindedly and checked on those photos.
Most of the photos had Xander in them, and those who were not in the know would think that they were
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfamily.
She saw a photo that not only had Xander but Joseph as well.
They fondly addressed him as “Uncle Jo”, and Joseph treated them very well. For some inexplicable
reason, he disappeared into thin air soon after. From what she had heard from Thomas, the next time
they met was in Imperia, and just like Trenton, Joseph had turned against mommy.
“Uncle Jo…” Mackenzie muttered out loud, but suddenly, a realization struck her.
Their godfather and daddy were not the same people, after all. Their godfather loved them like an
uncle, but their daddy was related to them by blood. She could love them both equally.
It would be great if the two of them could become friends.
“Oh no! I lost! How can this be? It doesn’t make sense at all!”
Mackenzie turned toward the direction of that voice and saw that Thomas’ robot was getting pummeled
by Colton’s.
“Zeke, save me! Save me now!” Thomas was asking for help, but soon, Colton completely defeated
him, rendering him useless on the ground.
“I admit defeat!” Thomas admitted defeat as he crawled out from his bumper car. Then, he proceeded
to ask about Colton’s strategy on how he was able to defeat him.
Colton patiently explained his strategy.
“Do you guys want to drink something?” Mackenzie came in with three glasses of milk.
Thomas was thirsty due to all the talking, so he immediately gulped down half of his class. He burped,
“No wonder mommy always bought things in threes last time. I thought that she wanted to play with
those toys too, but it turns out that she has always been saving them up for Colt.”
“You didn’t realize that because you’re too stupid,” Mackenzie had realized this fact long ago because
Madeline never used those items. She forbade any of them to touch those things too as if she was
buying them for a specific someone.
Mackenzie tried to ask Madeline about it but to no avail. Madeline would sink into a reverie and stare
outside the window every time, so Mackenzie decided not to be a busybody anymore.
“Get ready, we’re visiting him now,” Madeline knocked on the door and announced to them.
