Chapter 847 - 847

The next morning in Mountain View was much livier than normal with all of Cedric's friends having stayed over.

The three boys were quite happy to have woken up still in Yoyo's room. 

Cedric could hear them laughing and playing as he made his way down the hall from his room to Yoyo's.

They hadn't told Dominic yet that they had found his biological family. 

The little kid was smart and knowing who his father now made Cedric understand where the little boy took his intelligence from.

It was clear that he got his looks from Julia. When they had gone up to their rooms last night, Adrianna had found an old photo of her with her friends and their families.

Jonathan was there in the photo with them and he looked so much like Dominic. If he hadn't known that Dominic was Julia's child he would have assumed that Jonathan was in fact Dominic's father.

Due to Dminic being quite a smart child, it didn't pass him or Yoyo that it was not normal for their parents to stay over at Cedric's place.

Normally when the adults had a get together they would wake up the next morning in their own beds, sad that they couldn't have spent more time with their friends.

"Do you think something is wrong?" Cedric heard his son as the older boy.

Cedric stood next to the door that was slightly ajar listening to their adorable voices.

"I don't think so. Maybe they just decided to rest here." Dominic said as he tried to ease Yoyo's worries.

Cedric couldn't help but be happy that his little son had such a friend in Dominic. 

"I still think something is wrong." Yoyo insisted as Cedric heard the crash of some building blocks that the boys must have been playing with.

"Tristan!" Yoyo grumbled.

Tristan, who was still way too young to understand what was going on, simply laughed at the attention he was getting. 

At that moment, Cedric decided to let his presence be known. 

"What are you boys up to?" Cedric asked as he pushed the door open and stepped into his son's room.

"Good morning Uncle Cedric." Dominic said as he greeted the older man.

"Good morning dad!" Yoyo said as he quickly stood up and ran to his father's arms, jumping up and down. 

Clearly he was happy to see his father. Cedric picked his son up and hugged him tightly. He knew that Yoyo was sad that his father couldn't spend too much time with him.

For that Cedric felt very guilty. He had tried to make time for his son but things were just incredibly hectic in the Reyes Group. 

"Why don't we all go down for breakfast?" Cedric asked as he placed Yoyo back down and offered his hands to the two other boys.

Dominic and Tristan quickly ran over to join the father and son. 

Yoyo and Tristan each held one of Cedric's hands while Dominic walked ahead of them.

"Mr. Reyes, are you sure you don't need our help with the boys?" The maids asked as the watch Yoyo and Tristan pull his hands in separate directions.

"It's fine." Cedric told them with a smile. "You three should go on ahead and get some breakfast too, Plus I'm sure you could use the break. Dealing with these three isn't easy." He said with a laugh as he tried to deal with the rowdy boys.

The nannies smiled and nodded, but Cedric could see the concern in their eyes.

The three boys were rarely without their nannies, even around their parents their nannies would still tag along, making sure that each of the boys were cared for.

"Trust me, I'm not as helpless as I seem." Cedric said with a chuckle as he thought back to one of his jobs back when he was doing his poverty training.

For a while he worked for a family, watching over their three sons who were a little bit older than Dominic at the time.

It was rare for a guy to watch over children and work as a nanny or a babysitter, but since he lived next door and was clearly in need of a course of income, the family let him work for them.

They had seen how hard Cedric struggled to find work and make ends meet as he neared the end of his highschool education.

It was also at that time that the allowance the Reyes Family provided him was starting to run out. It really had only been enough to see him through a year, but he managed to stretch it to two years.

"Uncle Cedric, is today a special day?" Dominic asked, pulling Cedric back from his thoughts.

"A special day? I guess you could say that." Cedric told the young man with a smile as they walked towards the elevator.

The rooms were all empty as Adrianna, and the other guests all headed down for breakfast ahead of them.

Cedric had actually volunteered to get the boys.

"Do we get presents?" Yoyo asked his father.

"No, no. It's not anyone's birthday, it's not Christmas either." Cedric told his son with a laugh as he shook his head.

"Does it have to be Christmas for people to give presents, Uncle Cedric?" Dominic asked his uncle as he stopped and turned back.

"No, of course not, you can give gifts at any time in the year." Cedric said as he was fascinated by Dominic's intelligence.

He couldn't help but wonder if he had underestimated the young boy's biological father as well. If Dominic was this smart at this age, then maybe his father was smarter than Cedric gave the man credit.

He made a mental note to review everything he knew about Lucius Ting as soon as he was able.

"We actually have someone we want you to meet, he is a friend of your Auntie Adrianna, and he is very excited to meet all three of you." Cedric said with a smile as he picked Yoyo up, letting the little boy press the down button on the elevator panel. 

"I hope he likes us.." Dominic said with a frown as the elevator doors opened.
