Chapter 1654: This is the son "born" toby Selena.
Osvaldo looked at the small Gaia on the table, before his gaze settled on Selena.
He smirked. "Selena, are you sure this little thing isn't yours?"
The way she acted and carried herself seemed to resemble Selena in sway...
Selena hesitated for a moment before admitting, "Well... technically speaking, Gaia is mine."
She coughed nervously. "I created her when | was thirteen."
A glimmer of understanding flashed across Osvaldo's eyes as he realized who this little creature really was.
He had initially thought that Stanley had given Gaia to Selena as a gift. But now that he knew she was actually Selena's creation, it
changed everything.
His wife had given birth to a son based solely on his appearance... even before she knew who he truly was...
Osvaldo softened his expression and rubbed Gaia's head gently. "Don't worry, Daddy will take good care of you."
Selena remained silent while Gaia beamed with joy and covered her face with both hands in excitement.
As they stood there together like a family of three, the people in the room couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of harmony
emanating from them.
The people around Osvaldo were eagerly anticipating him having a child. However, Selena was still too young and not ready to
have one yet. Although little Gaia wasn't a real person, she looked like Osvaldo and had Selena's personality, making her a good
companion for both of them.

Selena let Gaia play on her own while she talked to Osvaldo about their upcoming visit to the Wang family. "My parents are hosting
a welcbanquet fortomorrow. Once | take care of everything, I'll bring you to meet them."
Selena had originally planned on bringing Osvaldo with her but his appearance resembled that of Gaia's which could raise
suspicions from smalicious individuals if he were seen at the Wangs' gathering.
As the Turner family's daughter and as someone who has intervened in the center city power struggle as an honorable woman,
Selena has already done something quite extraordinary. With all those noble ladies from the Wang family present tomorrow, it was
sure to be quite lively.
This was also an opportunity for them to see ssights they hadn't seen before...
Selena smiled sweetly at this thought while Osvaldo looked at her meaningfully. He remembered all too well how dangerous things
could get within the Wang family walls - with all their hidden agendas and schemes - so he ruffled Selena's hair affectionately
before saying: "Please tellif there is anything you need my help with."
"Okay," replied Selena with another smile.
Later that night, Selena slept soundly in their bedroom while Osvaldo worked diligently in his study room. Little Gaia sat dutifully
on top of his desk as he conducted video conferences with Luke, Spencer, James... and even Dante who hasn't been seen in ages!
The atmosphere was heavy. Luke rubbed his forehead, looking at the background of Osvaldo's life and said, "Mr. Anderson, when
do you have tto go out for a drink?"
Since Osvaldo married Selena, his carefree days were gone forever. After joining the federation, he becbusier than ever before
and had not relaxed in a long time. With Selena and Osvaldo also in the league now, Luke could almost predict that his future
would only get worse.
Osvaldo's eyes were deep but he remained silent.
Luke could tell from one glance that this guy wasn't in a good mood. He should be happy with his wife by his side but why did he
look so miserable?
Spencer put down his glass and smiled, "I heard there is a banquet tomorrow hosted by King Ting for their newly adopted
daughter."
Luke asked hesitantly,"... Mrs. Anderson isn't planning on going alone?"
Osvaldo gave him an angry glare.
Obviously this guy was being treated like a vase again!
Luke coughed trying to comfort him,"From another perspective, Mrs. Anderson is just worried about your safety..."
Suddenly it dawned on Luke - wasn't this situation similar to that of Queen Elizabeth Il and her 'little pet'?
As the Empress of the Empire, Selena was taught from a young age to cherish and care for those she loved. And so, she dutifully
favored Osvaldo.
But tragically, he fell from grace...
Osvaldo's gaze turned colder as he looked at James. "How is things in the capital?"
James spoke lazily. "Anyone who likes to cause trouble has been taken down by your wife. The capital has never been quieter."
Despite her public identity as a member of the Turner family, they still had to be wary of someone stabbing them in the back.
With James and Lab 717 watching over things in the capital, there was no need for too much concern.
Just as Osvaldo was about to speak, there ca clattering sound from outside.
Little Gaia ran into the room and climbed onto Osvaldo's shoulder before pointing towards their bedroom with her tiny hand -

Spencer watched with interest as this doll that looked just like Osvaldo appeared out of nowhere. "Where did you get that?"
At that moment Dante, who had been silent all this while, showed a hint of shock in his eyes upon seeing little Gaia.
Osvaldo's gaze fell on little Gaia's face and his eyes darkened slightly. "This is my son born by Selena."
Spencer: "..."
Luke couldn't help but burst out laughing at Spencer's expression almost splitting open on his face.
Dante's gaze fell on little Gaia's face, his voice hoarse. "This is the most advanced and perfect humanoid machine in the world."
It had even surpassed the realm of cold machinery and could be called an artificial god.
Spencer and Luke looked at little Gaia in surprise.
Spencer narrowed his deep blue eyes. "Could this be the legendary..."
Dante looked at little Gaia. "She may not be the main one, but she's not far off."
Luke stared at little Gaia carefully for a long time, unable to connect this delicate and fragile doll with the suprruler of the
Riddle Group Empire...
As he looked, he noticed something. "By the way, why does Riddle Group's artificial god look so much like our Mr. Anderson?"
Little Gaia met four pairs of scrutinizing eyes and shyly covered her face before hiding behind Osvaldo while peeking out from time
to time.
Then she remembered Selena's warning not to show herself in front of others and raised her hand to remove her mask from her
forehead.
