Susan blinked in surprise and asked the system, "What if he fails to win me over?" The system replied, "If he fails, he will be sent back to his original world, and you won't have to see him ever again."
Susan nodded thoughtfully.
During the meal, Susan excused herself to the restroom. When she came out, she saw a man and a small boy waiting by the chair across the women's restroom door. She tried to ignore them and walk past, but Andrew grabbed her wrist.
"Susan, do you really have to pretend you don't remember me? No matter how much you hate me, we have a child together. Are you going to abandon him too?" Andrew's voice was pleading, but his grip was tight and wouldn't let go.
Susan turned to look at him, her eyes cold and unfamiliar. Andrew's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively loosened his grip.
Susan quickly pulled her hand away. "Andrew, Feynman's second kid? We never met. Where would hatred come from?" Her expression was calm, and her tone steady.
For a moment, Andrew truly felt like he'd mistaken her for someone else. The Susan he once knew was gentle, obedient, always smiling sweetly at him. The coldness in front of him now felt like a hard blow to his head.
"Mom, don't you remember me? I'm Sam!" Sam's eyes were red with urgency as he tried to hug Susan, but she gently pushed him away.
"Little one, it's better not to call someone mom so casually."
"Mr. Feynman, I'm only show you some respects because of Director Yvonne. Please don't come bother me again." After saying that, Susan bypassed the stunned father and son and walked away.
Andrew stared at Susan's back, then called out to the system in his mind: "Is she really Susan? The Susan from my world?"
System 007 answered firmly, "Host, the system does not make mistakes."
A sour ache rose in Andrew's throat and spread through his body. The Susan he remembered would never speak to their child like that. She must still be angry, still upset about him marrying Rebecca.
She loved him once so deeply; she couldn't just stop loving him overnight.
She must be testing him.
Andrew clenched his fists tightly and stared in the direction Susan had left.
This time, he swore he would never let go.
"Did something happen on the way here?" Just as Susan sat down, Andrew's elder brother, Gavin, seemed to sense her mood and quietly asked.
Susan didn't hide anything and replied, "I met Andrew, said hello."
Not only Gavin, but also Mr. Feynman and Director Yvonne turned silent. Director Yvonne sighed and said, "Sorry, Susan. Andrew has always been a bit extreme and reckless. He often hanged out with girls."
"A few years ago, he suddenly brought a kid back from nowhere. If he bothers you again, just tell me." Susan nodded in agreement.
In the previous world, she was the unpampered younger sister; in Los City, their roles were reversed.
She guessed the system arranged this on purpose.
"Miss Susan, you seem quite interested in my brother?" At that moment, Gavin suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered.
His voice was low and magnetic, warm breath like a gentle feather brushing her earlobe. Susan instinctively shrank back, and Gavin immediately stepped away politely. Susan calmly said, "No, just curious."
Gavin's eyes changed slightly, with a meaning she couldn't quite read.
"If you want to know, you can always come ask me."
