North was sitting in front of the computer while video chatting with Nathan. They were working on the final stages of the robot they had been researching. Although it was just a prototype, it was the culmination of their hard work.
As it was their first attempt in this field, they had read books and conducted numerous experiments to finally make some progress.
However, Nathan had just sent a video showing that the robot had encountered a new problem. Despite having a full battery, the robot would stop walking after a few steps, as if it was tired.
North remained on the video call with Nathan. His eyes were fixed on the walking robot as he analyzed the data, searched for loopholes, and conducted repeated experiments. The Rogers siblings sat there while watching silently without eating or drinking.
After multiple attempts, North finally discovered a minor bug in the robot’s computer program. He skillfully made a few adjustments on the computer, modified a few numbers, and asked Nathan to restart it for another test.
Indeed, the issue of the robot stopping after a few steps did not reoccur after this restart. It seemed like they had solved the problem. Suddenly, the room erupted in enthusiastic applause. The Rogers siblings were thrilled, and admiration filled their eyes as they looked at North. It was as if everyone had participated in the achievement.
Carter couldn’t help but praise, “North, you’re amazing.”
Blake said, “When can we have one in our home?” North smiled. “This is just a prototype. Its appearance and functionality are not up to par. I’ll study with Uncle Nathan to develop an upgraded version and then bring it to our home.”
Terry added, “We want a robot that looks almost like a real person.” Just as Olivia entered, she could feel the excitement radiating from the little ones. “What’s making you all so happy?”
“Mommy!” The four children called out in unison as they rushed toward her. North said, “Uncle Nathan discovered a loophole in the robot program just now, and I fixed it!”
Olivia praised, “Baby, you’re amazing!”
After saying that, she reached out her long arms and gathered all four little ones into her embrace. “Where’s Jewel?”
North replied, “She went out with her phone.” Blake said, “She seemed quite happy.” Carter added, “No. She looked secretive. She stole glances at us several times as if she was afraid we would hear something.”
Terry continued, “It must be Uncle Alex.” Olivia laughed. “That’s right. Terry’s guess is accurate. It’s not easy for Jewel to be in a relationship.”
Jewel came back from outside as they were speaking. All the little ones looked at her, and North mischievously asked, “Aunt Jewel, did you call Uncle Alex?” Jewel blushed while pouting coquettishly. “Guess!”
Carter broke into a cold sweat and asked, “Aunt Jewel, are you insulting our intelligence?” Terry furrowed his brows. “Read the room, will you!”
Blake put on a serious expression and looked at Jewel. “Aunt Jewel, so who did you call?”
Jewel was speechless. Olivia couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Just then, Jewel came over to scold her. “Why are you laughing? Shouldn’t you manage these little rascals?”
Olivia avoided her. “Who told you to play coy? If you want to call your boyfriend, just call him. Why make people guess? Carter is right. You’re insulting their intelligence!” Jewel felt both angry and amused. She glared at the little ones. “You little troublemakers.”
The four children laughed happily. Jewel then looked at Olivia and asked, “Why did you come back so soon?”
Olivia remembered what happened at the restaurant and felt annoyed. Then, she said lazily, “There’s no point in continuing if there’s no sincerity.” Jewel furrowed her brows. “He still didn’t mention why he wanted the necklace?”
“Albert probably intended to say it, but his subordinate got impatient and threw a tantrum. When I was leaving, he even tried to stop me.”
Jewel’s expression turned serious. “On what grounds? Don’t they want the necklace anymore?”
Olivia said, “Albert is a clever person. He immediately reprimanded his subordinate. I think it’s better this way. I don’t have to have any contact with them and I don’t want to know about my identity anyway. After all, I’ve already come this far all these years.”
