Chapter 815 Finally Caught You

“Mister,” Irvin stood up. “Have you come looking for me because I didn't give enough money?”

“I was just passing through,” Alexander said expressionlessly. “Since the guy up there really wants usto see each other today, why don't I give you a lift? Where are you staying?”

“Thank you for your offer, but I'll spare you the trouble. I'm staying in a hotel nearby. I can go backon my own.” As much as Irvin took a liking to the man, he still stayed vigilant.

Alexander nodded in response. “Not bad. You act like a man.”

With that, he left the cafe.

“Bye-bye, mister!” The child jumped up and waved his hand before moving over to the cashier.“Pretty lady.” He pouted aggrievedly and grabbed the countertop like a marmot poking its headout, choking with sobs. “I can't replace my mommy. Can you let me check the surveillance and see inwhich direction she has gone? Pretty please...”

What young woman could resist such a cute and handsome boy? Just like that, Irvin successfully gota screenshot of Alexander.

It was already getting late when Irvin came out of the cafe, so he decided to replace a hotel to stay infirst.

As he hadn't had the time to exchange Cittadel Crown, he could only go to the hotel receptionistand supervisor with Alzue Vraleing, hoping they could give him a room first and also help himexchange the currency.

It was a simple request, if Irvin was a legal adult, that was. Worse, the child didn't have a CittadelianID either, putting the supervisor at a crossroads, worried that trouble would befall.

"Why don’t you come home with me, kid? You can stay in the hotel after I take you to an exchangecenter tomorrow.” A male receptionist deliberately wooed the child upon seeing the Vraleing in hisbag.

"Oh, please, there isn't even a place to stand in your place. Don't traumatize the child. I think thishandsome little fellow should come with me,” suggested a female receptionist who adored sweetand good-looking children like Irvin.

“As if you young ones can take care of a child when you can barely even take care of yourselves.Why don’t you come with me, dear? I have tons of imported snacks. You can have them all; what doyou say?” The sweet older female supervisor absolutely loved the child.

Just like that, the staff began arguing in the lobby.

“He should come with me!”

“Don't even think about it!"

“I said it first!"

Poor Irvin stood in the center of it all, looking devoid of life as he was powerless against the handsthat dragged him around.

Meanwhile, Jamie chatted with a beauty as they entered the hotel entrance.

"Haha! Now, I really want to meet this kid that even you can’t handle,” the woman teased.

Jamie waved his hand. “It's a long story. Anyhow, your family is in the hotel business. If you replace hisname registered in one of your hotels, keep an eye on him for me and let me know.”

They passed by the reception area while speaking, and Jamie took a casual gander at the bickeringgroup before arriving at the elevator hall with the woman.

However, the man dashed away the next second, seemingly realizing something.

He took a closer look at the reception area and found who else but Irvin standing in the middle ofthe circle of staff?!

At that, Jamie smirked smugly in response. To think the heavens brought the kid to him!Meanwhile, Irvin was getting woozy from all the tugging, and he wailed feebly, “Please have mercyon me... I just want to take a good rest in the hotel...”

The crowd fell silent at once, but only for a second before succumbing to their infatuation again."So cute...”

"Aw, my heart's melting. That's it, you're coming home with me today!"

"Come with me, dear!”

In deep agony, Irvin closed his eyes in despair. Mommy... The ladies in Cittadel are very scary whenthey become eager...

Just then, something shrouded him from the lights above, leading him to open his eyes, only to bemet with Jamie's ravishing gaze.

"Ah!" The boy freed himself and made a run after gasping softly.

Alas, as soon as he lifted a leg, Jamie lifted him up by his backpack. “Now I've got you!"

“Let go of me! Help! A kidnapper!”

The poor boy was currently like a turtle being held by its shell, flailing his limbs uselessly, unable tochange anything.

Given Jamie's social status, there was no way he would kidnap a child. Besides, even if he waskidnapping the child, the hotel staff wouldn't dare do anything to him either.

Jamie turned the kid around to face him, planning to have a heart-to-heart talk. “Kid—ouch!”

The man had barely said a word when Irvin introduced his fist to Jamie's left eye, causing the latterto howl in pain as he hurriedly placed his free hand over it. “You little rascal. Do you not know agood man when you see one?!”

“It's your fault for grabbing me!” Irvin snapped indignantly.

Livid, Jamie let out a murky breath. “Fine, kid. You've got balls. We're going to settle this here onceand for all. Let's see how you can run away this time!”

With that, he clamped the child under his armpit and strode to the elevator hall.

Upon witnessing Jamie blow a fuse, the woman became somewhat ginger with her words. “So this isthe devil incarnate you told me about?”

“Yeah. Don’t bother yourself with this anymore. I'll take him to the room my family usually goes to.”At that, Jamie entered the elevator and went straight up.

It wasn't until he entered the room and locked the door from the inside that he let go of Irvin, whoimmediately dashed behind the couch and pulled out the pepper spray in defense mode.

As Jamie turned around, he thought his eyes were stinging again when he saw the oh-so-familiarspray. “This again? Can you put that thing down first?”

“No!” Irvin gripped the spray tighter. “Who are you, and why do you want to harm me?!”

"Harm you? When have I ever done that?!” Frustrated, Jamie bet the kid must've watched one toomany crime dramas. Just what the heck is in that little brain of his?!

“You deliberately picked me up at the south gate and even followed me all the way here to thehotel. Now tell me you don't want to harm me!” Irvin argued, leading Jamie to quirk a brow and rubhis nose awkwardly. Now that Irvin put it that way, it did look like he was trying to do somethingbad to the child.

"Alright, let's just say I'm in the wrong.” Jamie went up to the child and extended a hand. “Iapologize to you. Let's ceasefire.”

“Why should I listen to you?!" Irvin raised the pepper spray high. “You're just tricking me intoputting the spray down so that you can capture me for good, you kidnapper!”

"Okay, okay, I'll be honest with you.” Frustrated, Jamie surrendered, raising his hands as a sign ofgoodwill. “I'm actually your mother’s friend. She asked me to look after you. Your mom's AnastasiaWhite, and you're Irvin White. Also, you have a sister. Am I right so far?”

Though the boy had eased a little, he still kept the pepper spray pointed toward Jamie. “How do Iknow you're not lying?”

Jamie chuckled helplessly in response, then pulled his phone out and clicked into a picture beforeshowing it to Irvin.

“Take a good look. This is your mom, isn't it? The hunk next to her is me.”

At that, Irvin stretched his neck to take a gander before finally putting the pepper spray down. Butthen, he couldn't help needing to satisfy his curiosity. “Who's the other lady holding my mom'sarm?”
