Chapter 1047

: Mia Cares For Me the Most in the Whole Family

The moment they arrived at the laboratory, they happened to run into a group of people who had just
woken up and were getting ready to go for breakfast.

The group stopped the trio at the entrance and asked, “Our company is not a place where any Tom,
Dick, or Harry can enter. Who are you?”

Mia replied, “We’re here to look for my elder brother. He’s in there right now. These are my parents.
We’re here on vacation…”

The security guard glanced at Nora and Justin and then sneered, “Are you kidding me?”

Mia: “?”

!!

The security guard said, “These two look so young. The woman can only be your elder sister at best!
How can they possibly be your parents?!”

Mia: “???”

In order to minimize potential trouble, she was pretending to be Cheryl.

That was why she had claimed that Nora and Justin were her parents.

Yet the security guard wasn’t taking her word for it?

The security guard then pointed at Nora and said, “She looks twenty years old at best. How can she
possibly have a child as old as you? And this guy…”



The security guard pointed at Justin and said, “He’s probably only about thirty years old?”

Justin was wearing a suit and had a stern look on his face. Even though his facial features looked
young, he didn’t look like a twenty-year-old lad still wet behind the ears.

Therefore, while the security guard might be persuaded to believe that Justin was Mia’s father, there
was no way he was going to believe that Nora was her mother.

“…”

A grouchy look took over Justin’s face.

The security guard had outright made him and Nora people from two different generations. They were
about the same age, alright?!

Mia explained, “It’s true… They just look younger than most other people, that’s all.”

She took out their ID documents and showed them to the security guard. “My mom is already 34 years
old this year. She gave birth to us when she was 19…”

The security guard examined the ID closely, flipping it over and over as he stared at it. At last, he
believed Mia’s words and said, “Alright, I guess. Security is strict in the lab, so outsiders are not
allowed into the premises. I’ll call Peter Hunt outside instead.”

Asking him to come out…?

Then this would at least mean that Pete was free to move about.

Mia heaved a sigh of relief.

The security guard then went into the reception room and summoned Peter. About five minutes later,
Peter jogged over to the main entrance.



The fifteen-year-old young man was tall and handsome.

As he was going through a growth spurt, his height made him look awfully skinny as though he didn’t
have much strength.

He wore a loose t-shirt, and one could even faintly see the protruding shape of his spine.

Upon seeing the smile on the boy’s good-looking face, Nora was relieved, and she felt that the tiring
night was all worth it.

“Dad! Mom! Mia! You’re here!”

Pete stopped and panted for a while. Then, he returned to his usual calm demeanor and greeted the
trio.

He looked at the security guard and said, “These are my parents and younger sister. They already
notified me long ago that they would be here for a vacation. Surely I can go for breakfast with them,
right?”

The security guard stared hard at Pete and then replied, “Yeah, go ahead. It must have been a while
since you guys met, so I’m sure you miss your family. Have a good chat with them.”

He emphasized the word “chat”.

Peter, however, seemed to understand something. He nodded and said, “Sure.”

Then, he went up to Nora and pointed at a café opposite the road. “Let’s have breakfast there!”

The group went to the café.

After ordering food, they settled down at a table. Justin asked coldly, “What on earth are you up to?”



Not only was Peter able to leave the laboratory for breakfast, but judging from how he looked, it was
obvious that he hadn’t run into terrible trouble. In that case, he’d best give him a good explanation for
sending such a text message to Mia in the middle of the night. Otherwise, Justin wasn’t going to let him
off for disturbing Nora’s beauty sleep.

Peter was still rather scared of his father.

After all… he couldn’t beat him in a fight yet. He was still too young!

But once he could beat him… ahem.

Peter dismissed his thoughts and looked at them. “I really have run into trouble!”

“If you’ve run into trouble, couldn’t you just come to us directly? Why did you send Mia such a text
message late at night and frighten her so badly?”

Nora frowned in displeasure.

Mia had been awfully pale the whole way there and had looked terribly frightened.

Peter coughed lightly and gave Mia an apologetic look. Then, he couldn’t help but heave a quiet sigh
and say somewhat resentfully, “If I had sent you two the message instead, would the two of you have
come over? In the entire family, Mia cares for my safety the most. If I contact her, you guys will
definitely come.”

Mia’s cheeks turned red when she heard the words “cares for my safety the most”.

She subconsciously looked at Nora and Justin. When she saw that neither of them had detected the
hidden meaning of the words, she breathed a silent sigh of relief and then looked at Peter with
infatuation in her eyes.



As for Nora and Justin, both of them were rather speechless.

Come to think of it, It was true that had Peter contacted them directly, they might not have come over
once they learned of the situation!

Nora felt somewhat guilty.

Justin, however, was thick-skinned enough to continue pulling a long face. “Alright, that’s enough. Get
to the point.”
