บท 463: Brother

Scarlett simply nodded, her heart struggling with a sense of awkwardness and surreal progress. However, a thought struck her. "Uhm, Sir—"

"Father, please refer to me as such," Roland interjected, understanding her hesitation. Her inability to address him as 'father' prompted an amused chuckle within him. He recognized the need to afford her time to adjust to this new reality.

Scarlett pressed her lips together, finding herself unable to articulate a response. "Alright," she eventually managed to utter, her hesitation palpable.

"Did Simon know about my mother?" Scarlett asked. 

Roland reassured, "He already knows about it. But, you don't have to worry, he understood the situation quickly and requested to meet you in person today. He wants to become familiar with you and also help you locate your mother."

  "Help me find my mother? Didn't you mention you have a hacker who could help me? Why involve Simon now?" Scarlett asked in confusion.
