The car door swung open, and Weldon stepped out, followed closely by Thomas.
Weldon's gaze found Melissa's, and she looked back at him, unblinking.
Thomas, wearing a look of concern, tried to mediate. “Weldon, give Melissa a bit more time to think it over. It's not fair to push her like this."

His towering presence and stern expression were enough to scare Matthew. The little boy's mouth quivered before he started crying uncontrollably.
Weldon, visibly irritated by Matthew's reaction, didn't hide his disappointment.
He groaned, “What a useless thing! Come on, you're stronger than this.
Boys need to be brave and unyielding. You're going to stay with me from now on.” Matthew, however, was having none of it.
As he glared at Weldon, he began to kick and squirm desperately. “I don't want to go with you! Let me go! | don't even know you. You're the monster that eats kids, aren't you? Julie warned me about people like you” Hearing that, Weldon got really annoyed and asked Melissa, “Who the hell is Julie? And how can she feed a kid with such nonsense?” At that moment, Melissa was so anxious that she was sweating profusely.
Looking straight at Weldon, she slowly said, “You don't understand anything about Matthew. How dare you just come here trying to take my boy? Mr. Smith, you're heartless. Don't kid yourself! Nobody can stand you. If you don't believe me, ask your brother or your wife if they can stand being around you” Weldon just scoffed, “I couldn't care less if they like me or not” He picked up Matthew and walked over to Melissa. In the moonlight, he looked down at the mother and son, noticing how much they resembled each other...
In truth, he wasn't happy that Matthew didn't look like him at all.

What he cared about was having an heir for the Smith family, and he planned to mentor Matthew himself.
Matthew was silent for a bit, and then started crying again, yelling, “Youre the bad guy! | don't like you. Go away, you monster! My dad is a superhero. He knows how to deal with monsters. He's going to come and defeat you” Weldon didn't get angry; instead, he smiled at Melissa and said, “Look at him, naturally ruthless! He comes from the Smith family after all” “Bullshits!” Melissa retorted sharply. “He's nothing like you! Try to take him away, and I'm calling the police immediately.”
Weldon just sneered in response.
Just then, a helicopter started flying their way, its propellers whirring louder as it neared. Cradling Matthew, Weldon told Melissa with a smug look, “I'm sending him overseas! If you can't bear to be apart from your little boy, come with me, Melissa”
