A hint of joy flashed in the young man's eyes. He followed Thomas Schindler and kept talking to him.

Seeing this, Hiroki Sawada slowed down his pace, and Amemiya who was following behind him also slowed down.

"What's wrong? Master Hiroki."

Amemiya's gentle voice sounded in his ears. Hiroki Sawada turned his head and met him. Although his face was expressionless, there was a hint of concern in his eyes.

"Are you hungry?"

Amemiya looked a little annoyed.

"I promised to make you something delicious to celebrate your birthday, but I didn't expect Mr. Schindler to suddenly decide to bring you out today..."

Although there was food at the banquet, Thomas Schindler kept a close eye on him. Whenever he attended a banquet, he would keep Hiroki Sawada by his side. He would not introduce anyone to him, but would hold him tightly to prevent him from meeting someone without his knowledge.

Of course, the excuse used on the surface has always been for the safety of Hiroki Sawada.

So in this situation, Hiroki Sawada had no way to eat.

And he couldn't let Thomas Schindler find out that he had other plans for the day.

After all, Thomas Schindler's goal was to have Hiroki Sawada closely watched, so he naturally wouldn't want to see Hiroki Sawada getting along well with a bodyguard who was guarding him. The two had planned to wait until everyone was asleep before secretly celebrating Hiroki Sawada's birthday.

But for Hiroki Sawada, this was a rare experience after all. He was so excited that he didn't eat much all day, thinking that he could taste Amemiya's cooking in the evening. Unexpectedly, he was brought out to the banquet by Thomas Schindler.

In this situation, he certainly couldn't show any obvious difference from usual.

but……

Sawada Hiroki glanced at Amemiya, who looked guilty, and whispered to comfort him:

"It's okay. We can celebrate after the party."

And the reason he slowed down wasn't because he was hungry.

Hiroki Sawada secretly glanced at the young man following Thomas Schindler and saw that the young man had indeed moved a step and hidden him behind him. Thomas Schindler was attracted by him and did not notice that Hiroki Sawada was already several steps behind him. Hiroki Sawada then quietly explained to Amemiya:

"With Jacob here, Mr. Schindler probably won't have time to bother me today. We can eat something to fill our stomachs first and then celebrate after we get back."

His words made Amemiya raise his eyebrows and subconsciously glance at the young man called Jacob.

It was seen that the other person kept staying close to Thomas Schindler. No matter who came to talk to Thomas Schindler, he would come over and say a few words. Not only did this make Thomas Schindler very annoyed, but even the smile on his face began to become stiff.

Amemiya was rarely curious and asked:

"Who is this Jacob? Why does he seem to have a somewhat awkward relationship with Mr. Schindler?"

"I should call him brother."

Seeing a rare hint of interest in his eyes, Sawada Hiroki blinked his eyes and explained to him directly without any hesitation:

"But neither Jacob nor Herr Schindler wanted to."

The only difference is that Jacob refused to accept the title of brother because he didn't like him and didn't want to acknowledge him as his non-blood-related brother, while Mr. Schindler didn't like Jacob's mother and didn't want to acknowledge Jacob's identity, so he didn't let him call him brother.

Hiroki Sawada gave a brief explanation, which cleared up Amemiya's confusion.

"No wonder I've never heard of such a person in Schindler's family before..."

He murmured, the shadows blocking his eyes, making it difficult to see his expression at the moment.

At this time, Thomas Schindler finally remembered the existence of Hiroki Sawada. He turned his head and looked in their direction. Seeing Hiroki Sawada following him obediently, he hurriedly called him to his side and interrupted Jacob's words.

"Hiroki, come here, come to me."

Hearing this, Hiroki Sawada subconsciously took a few quick steps, and Thomas Schindler extended his hand towards him with a smile on his face.

"Oh, it's Hiroki."

Those who would attend this party were basically people from the same circle as Thomas Schindler, so although they had never formally introduced each other to each other, everyone knew Hiroki Sawada, the child who was often taken by him to various parties.

Then someone who had a good personal relationship with Thomas Schindler glanced at Sawada Hiroki casually, smiled and teased Thomas Schindler:

"I thought you had changed your temper today and didn't bring Hongshu with you. I didn't expect that you were hiding him behind your back. What's going on? Are you afraid that we might snatch him from you?"

The man spoke casually, and Thomas Schindler knew his character, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He just followed his words and agreed with them.

However, what neither of them took seriously sounded particularly harsh to Jacob's ears.

He pursed his lips and no longer tried to join in the conversation between Thomas Schindler and others, but a sinister glint flashed in his lowered eyes.

As expected...

As expected, it’s like this again…

No matter how hard I try, he doesn't take me seriously.

But he didn't choose where he was born!

It was Thomas Schindler himself who was looking for a lover.

It was Thomas Schindler himself who was caught off guard and plotted against.

In the end, it was Thomas Schindler himself who was found with the child.

He just happened to be born in the other person's belly and happened to become his son.

What does this have to do with him?

Why should he be unhappy with him?

Why did everyone know the adopted kid next to him, but ignored the existence of his biological son?

Jacob's eyes gradually darkened. He looked left at Thomas Schindler who had completely ignored him, and right at Hiroki Sawada who was pulled to his side with a well-behaved look on his face, and the bodyguard who was also following Hiroki Sawada and didn't even glance at him.

Jacob pursed his lips and suddenly smiled at Thomas Schindler:

"Mr. Schindler, I just saw someone I know..."

Before he could finish his words, Thomas Schindler waved his hand and said nonchalantly:

"You young people, you can handle your own affairs. You don't need to ask me for permission."
