Chapter 364 The Child's Father Leon looked at the teasing expressions of everyone around him and felt a wave of frustration.
After all, he really didn't know this person, and bringing up something from five years ago was just digging a hole for him.
"Leon, it seems like this person really wants to mess with your relationship with Tiffany. Should we do something about it?" Ulysses, who now understood Leon's temperament, knew he wouldn't just sit back and do nothing. The most important thing was that this matter involved Tiffany, so Leon definitely wouldn't take it lightly. Leon knew he had to consult Tiffany on what to do next. He glanced at her and asked, "Tiffany, what do you want to do now?" Unexpectedly, Tiffany teased Leon back, staring straight at him and deliberately asking, "Haven't you ever thought about having another gentle woman?" Leon was so startled that he couldn't stop coughing. Ulysses and Aiden, seeing this, couldn't help but laugh. Leon, who always listened to his wife, was really something. Just one unpleasant comment from Tiffany scared him like this, showing how much he truly cared for her.
"Tiffany, let's not joke around in this situation. I've told you before, you're the only one in my heart," Leon said seriously, making Tiffany feel a bit embarrassed.

"Since that person is waiting for us to take the bait, why don't we put on a good show for her? That way, we can figure out what the store owner really wants." "Alright, we'll follow Tiffany's plan," Ulysses immediately agreed, deferring to Tiffany's judgment "Since it's Miss Grey's idea, I guess I need to prepare myself," Aiden said, rubbing his hands together, eager to get involved.
Leon nodded in agreement. From now on, they would follow Tiffany's lead.
At that moment, Tiffany's thoughts drifted away. She was curious about why the store owner wanted to get close to Leon and why she brought up something from five years ago. Was there something Tiffany didn't know about? Had Leon really met the store owner before? It seemed like Leon didn't know her at all, like she was a complete stranger. But the store owner was adamant that she was the person from five years ago. Did something else happen that night? Tiffany's mind was a mess, tangled with thoughts she couldn't unravel. Leon noticed her distress and took her hand. "Tiffany, none of that could have happened. Don't overthink it. You're the only one in my heart, and there's no way it could have been anyone else five years ago." Leon's memory of that night had becclearer over time. Especially after that night of passion, he had initially been unable to see her face clearly. But gradually, he realized it was Tiffany, so he was certain it could only have been her.
Tiffany nodded, deciding not to dwell on it any longer. They had other matters to attend to, like uncovering the store owner's identity.
Tiffany didn't want to disturb Steven and Sophia, who were on vacation abroad. She entrusted the investigation to Aiden, giving him a chance to get closer to the store owner and possibly gather sinformation. If all else failed, Aiden could go undercover. Acting was easy for him.
So, they stopped focusing on the aromatherapy issue, knowing it would take stto investigate. Tiffany spent the next few days busy with work, finally completing the design for an order. The client was impressed with the design and immediately asked Tiffany to make the dress.
When the client saw the finished dress, she was so pleased that she gave Tiffany a tip. Although Tiffany didn't need the money, she was happy to see the client, a celebrity, satisfied with her work.
With the stuwork done, Tiffany turned her attention back to the store owner. Aiden had been investigating for days and likely had sreliable information.
Indeed, the day after their discussion, Aiden visited the aromatherapy store again. This time, he saw a child in the store, about the sage as his own kids, which gave him a bad feeling.

When he saw the store owner, he asked, "Why do I always see youm alone here? This child tooks about four or five years old. Where's his father?" Aiden hoped he was wrong, but the store owner's response chilled him to the bone.
"The child's father doesn't know about him. I kept it a secret, but now I regret it. If I had told him, maybe the child could be with his father instead of watching him happily with another family."
If the store owner had stopped there, Aiden might not have suspected anything. But she mentioned "another family of five," clearly targeting Tiffany. It seemed that her child was conceived with Leon five years ago, but Leon wouldn't have been involved with two women at the stime.
"Why don't you talk to the child's father?" Aiden asked tentatively.
The store owner didn't answer directly but asked Aiden, "Do you think I should?" Aiden hesitated. Should he support her or pretend he didn't know? Before he could decide, the store owner smiled. "Sorry, this is my personal matter. Here's your candle. Please cagain."
