Mike, who has returned to campus life, does not know that a small "intrigue" has formed in the hospital because of the reward he took out.

After another week of study, he had basically completed all the sophomore courses by himself.

With the ability of [Geometric Thinking], Mike can easily connect the knowledge in his mind, which speeds up his learning progress a lot.

Next, there are two weeks until Christmas, which is enough time for Mike to finish studying for his junior and senior years.

When the weekend came, Mike, who had been studying for a long time and wanted to change his mind between work and rest, made an appointment with Father George, Grandma Connie and Professor John, and planned to go shopping in the Fifth Avenue Commercial Street.

Also following were Peggy and the cold-faced female bodyguard Nidi.

"We have everything to eat, drink and have fun here. You can choose what you want to do. Today's expenses will be reimbursed by... me~" The lively crowd in autumn and the rare good weather put Mike in a good mood.

Christmas is only half a month away, and the commercial streets are dotted with bright Christmas trees and people dressed up as Santa Claus.

In short, at a glance, there is already a festive atmosphere.

"I want to buy some holiday gifts for Shelly and the others to send back..." The lively atmosphere reminded Father George of his family, so he made a suggestion.

Although he was not confined in the hospital, Father George, who had lived in a small place for many years, still could not adapt to the bustling life in Apple City.

Judging from his condition, he must be homesick.

"Yes, I should prepare gifts for Missy and Shelly too~" Unlike Father George, Grandma Connie quickly adapted to the life here after arriving in Apple City.

Now that he is living with Professor John and taking care of him, she seems to be living a very comfortable life now.

"Then let's go to the gift shop..."

Seeing that no one objected, Mike immediately led a group of people to find a good-looking gift shop.

With so many beautiful girls at home, Mike also decided to order some Santa Claus or Elk costumes.

At the same time, Mark, who had returned to his youth and changed his appearance, was also helping his son's mother deal with the Christmas tree for the holiday as a classmate and friend.

"Thank you~" Scarlett O'Donnell habitually wiped the sweat on Mark's forehead and said, "O'Donnell used to take care of the Christmas tree at home. Like you, he always likes to be outside the house. Clean the pine branches first, and then move the tree to the house..."

As if thinking of the happy married life before, Scarlett fell into short memories with a slight smile on her face.

Of course Mark knew what Scarlett was talking about, after all, he was her husband.

Although he is now eighteen years old, his appearance has changed and his wife no longer "recognizes" him.

Seeing the smile on his wife's face, Mark deliberately asked tentatively: "I've been here several times, but why haven't I seen your husband?"

Before Mark became young, the relationship with his wife was already so tense that the woman unilaterally filed for divorce.

Mark, who still loves his wife, also wants to take this opportunity to find out what his wife is thinking.

"You're talking about O'Donnell, we are in a divorce lawsuit, but he seems to be deliberately avoiding me recently, and he never sees anyone..." When she really talked about her husband, the smile on Scarlett's face disappeared instantly.

It seemed like he was recalling an unpleasant experience.

"Why do you want a divorce?" Mark unknowingly fell into the role until he saw his wife's surprised eyes and quickly explained: "I mean, you are so beautiful and have a gentle personality, why does that Mr. O'Donnell want to marry you? divorce?"

In the past few months, Mark has become close to his wife again as a good friend of his son Alex. Under his deliberate "pleasure", the two have become "good friends".

"You...just looked like O'Donnell for a moment..." Scarlett stared at the young Mark for a long time. When the "boy" became more and more guilty, she said with an unkind expression: "I have long felt that It's strange, I just realized now... you and my husband looked exactly the same when we were young..."

Hearing this, Mark, who thought his identity had been discovered, began to sweat more and more on his forehead. He closed his eyes as if waiting for "trial".

"You are an illegitimate child, right?"

The process is all right, the answer is wrong. Scarlett stared at Mark and confirmed: "You are O'Donnell's illegitimate son. You approached me because you wanted to destroy my family..."

"However, you don't have to do this now. I have decided to divorce O'Donnell. From now on, your family can live happily together."

"Also, say hello to your mother for me."

Mark, who was originally waiting for his wife's "trial", heard the other party's "nonsense" and his eyes widened.

He didn't understand his wife's brain.

"Mother?" Mark thought of his mother who passed away a few years ago and said honestly: "My mother has passed away."

"I'm sorry, I don't know your situation." Scarlett comforted: "But you can live a good life with O'Donnell in the future. Although he has many shortcomings, he is still a good father."

Seeing that the topic was getting more and more crooked, Mark got excited and quickly explained: "No, no, no, I have nothing to do with your husband, and I am not O'Donnell's son. My father is Ned, Ned Ford. Reedman.”

Yes, Mark Friedman used a false identity again. He is now the "son" of his rich second-generation friend.

"Mark Friedman... Ned Friedman..."

Scarlett also knew her husband's friend Ned Friedman, but she still stared at Mark for a long time: "You look too much like O'Donnell. You didn't ask your Ned if he was helping his friend."

A worse idea came to Scarlett's mind.

"No, no, no, I'm sure I'm Ned's son..." Mark tried his best to explain. He also knew that his current situation was indeed easy for his wife to misunderstand.

Mark actually wanted to "confess" to his wife, but when he thought of the incredible things that happened to him, who else would believe it except his careless and bad friend Ned.

It's good not to think of him as a psychopath.

And before, when he went to his bad friend for help, the other party was also suspicious for a long time, and even beat him up with an Iron Man figurine.

"Okay, I believe you." Looking at the boy who tried his best to explain in front of her, Scarlett finally softened her heart and echoed the other party, but I'm afraid only she knows what she thinks in her heart.

"Leave the rest of the Christmas tree decoration work to me, after all, this is our family's business..." Scarlett, who believed that the boy was her husband's illegitimate child, still had a gap with Mark, and said politely: "You should go back too, Ned's Christmas tree may also be waiting for you to go back and clean it up."

Mark, who knew his wife's personality well, could hear that she was being sarcastic. But seeing that she was angry, he couldn't leave.

"Ned's family doesn't need me, I'll go see what Alex is doing..." Mark made an excuse to stay, thinking that he would find a chance to explain to his wife later.

At least he couldn't let the other party misunderstand that her husband had an illegitimate child.

Here, watching the boy leave, Scarlett's eyes became more and more complicated.

She didn't notice it before, but now recalling the scenes of her getting along with the boy, Scarlett felt more and more that the boy's figure merged with her husband's figure.

Moreover, in the past scenes, the boy also had many intimate details.

Those details were very familiar to Scarlett...

Scarlett's thoughts became more and more confused, and she shook her head violently. She had a terrible idea: the boy seemed to like her.

‘But how is this possible? I am already an old woman, and being the other person’s mother is enough. ’

It must be said that Mark’s young face is indeed very handsome, which is very consistent with the aesthetics of the previous generation.

Even if Scarlett is unwilling to admit it, she actually has some special ideas when such a young handsome guy is courting her.

As she became restless, Scarlett lost interest in decorating the Christmas tree. Somehow, she followed the boy’s footsteps.

In Alex’s room, Mark, as the “big brother”, was teaching basketball skills to his own son.

Yes, Alex continued his father’s hobby and was very interested in playing basketball.

Outside the door, Scarlett, who was peeking at the harmonious scene in the room, felt that everything in the picture was so familiar except for the characters.

Isn’t this the scene of her husband playing with his son before?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Scarlett felt a panic inexplicably, and her legs were a little weak.

So, before she was discovered, she covered her chest and retreated to her room.
