Chapter 262 Noisy Meeting with Antonio
A sudden knock on the door shattered Antonio's courage, which he had mustered with great difficulty.
"Daddy, are you there?"
It was Ryan.
"Quick, go ahead. Ryan is looking for you." Sarah blushed and pushed Antonio aside, her heart accelerating and almost jumping out of her chest.
Antonio bit his lip unwillingly, realizing there was no opportunity to continue.
After Antonio left, Sarah took out her phone and called Brian.
"Brian, it's Mommy."
When Brian heard his mother's voice, his anxious heart was finally put at ease.
"Mommy, where did you go? I was really worried sick about you!"
"I'm sorry, sweetheart. Mommy had a little accident, but everything is fine now. Ethan and Harper are with me too, so don't worry."
Although Brian was only five years old, he was already a mature child in Sarah's eyes,. Sometimes she even felt that Brian was the one taking care of the family.
"As long as Mommy is okay. Don't go missing again in the future. I was really worried."
"Yeah, Mommy knows. I won't let my son worry anymore in the future."
Sarah cherished the children in her heart and felt grateful for giving birth to three such well-behaved kids.
Meanwhile, Ryan kept apologizing to Antonio, "I'm sorry, Daddy. It's all my fault. I didn't protect Harper and Ethan properly. I didn't fulfill my responsibility to take care of them. I let them run away alone."
Antonio understood Ryan's character and didn't blame him. Instead, he rubbed his head and comforted him, "Ryan, it's not your fault. You don't need to blame yourself like this."
Pausing for a moment, Antonio continued, "But from now on, we can't let this happen again."
Ryan looked up at Antonio, still filled with guilt in his eyes.
"Ryan, as a young boy, if you wish to safeguard yourself and those dear to you, you must first cultivate your own strength. As time passes, you will face increasing challenges, and we won't always be there to guide you.
"What you need to do is to work hard to become strong and excellent. Only then can you firmly control everything and won't regret it someday in the future."
Ryan pursed his lips, not fully comprehending why Antonio had said this. Yet, he couldn't shake the feeling that it somehow made sense.
He nodded and asked another concerned question, "Daddy, where is Grandpa Lucien?"
Although he didn't understand the affairs between the companies, he knew about the complicated relationship between Lucien and Antonio.
Antonio fell silent. He didn't know how to explain this matter to Ryan.
In the past few years, Ryan had been spoiled by Lucien, and their bond was evident.
Antonio could only casually say a few words, diverting the topic. Ryan looked at him, somewhat bewildered.
...
In the following days, Antonio continued to handle matters at Valencia Inc., holding press conferences and announcing appointments of new executives, among other things.
He personally took charge of everything and handled it well. Not only did he resolve the troubles left by Lucien, but he also managed to restore the company's former glory in a short period.
…
In the evening, Sarah sat in the study, browsing through the news, and couldn't help but admire Antonio sincerely.
"Mommy, why are you still holding your computer and looking at his photos when Daddy is right in front of you?" Harper approached, teasing Sarah.
Sarah blushed. "Who's looking at his photos? I'm clearly reading the news."
"Huh, Mommy is just like Ethan. Neither of you likes to tell the truth."
Ethan immediately retorted, "When did I become like that? Don't talk nonsense!"
Harper pouted. "Ethan, you are obviously worried about Daddy. That's why you also pay attention to the company's news and think Daddy is amazing, right?"
"What are you saying! I'm not like that at all... Stop making things up, or I won't talk to you anymore!"
Ethan turned away awkwardly, feeling his cheeks flush as Harper accurately assessed his demeanor.
Sarah burst into laughter at the scene.
Ethan turned away awkwardly, feeling his cheeks flush as Harper accurately assessed his demeanor.
Upon seeing his wife and children in such a joyous state, the weariness that had burdened him for the past few days dissipated, replaced by sheer joy in his eyes.
But not long after, James' phone call came in. "Mr. Valencia, your grandfather insists on seeing you."
