My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 105

Chapter 105: Worry About Dax’s Future
Max still felt tired and needed some sleep. Yesterday, Geoffrey asked him to prepare this sophisticated, state-of-the-art computer and gaming room. Something that ordinary people would not be able to do in a short time.

Fortunately, Sinclair owns a computer hardware company. He only needs to make a call and tell them what he needs.

In a short time, they bring it to this place and install it in only a short time. However, he needed to test this room by himself. He only finished testing all the equipment in this room before sunrise.

Max never understood why his boss needed this advanced computer and gaming room. Until this morning, when they met, he knew that this room was actually for his son, Dax.

And the new information is enough to confuse Max because he knows their boss’s son is only four years old.

That little man, or any kids his age, as a matter of fact, didn’t need this kind of room yet. That boy might end up destroying this admirable room.

Young children that age are usually only interested in toys such as Lego, action figures, or any outdoor activity. Even if they are interested in computers, they would not know how to operate computers and electronic devices as sophisticated as the ones in this room.

However, Max was impressed when he finally could test Dax’s computer skills. What he found out was beyond his expectations.

Max thought this little man, Dax, would only know how to play puzzles or games for toddlers. But the test shows he could play games for teenagers three or four times his age; he could even play Roblox and create his own private server.

How could this four-year-old child already read and understand math problems?

This little man was born to be a genius, and Max couldn’t help but envy him.

Max was even more shocked when Dax told him he also knew basic coding and understood Javascript*.

He began to entertain the idea that Dax was not just a four-year-old child but a computer expert who transmigrated into this little boy’s soul.

Yes, he must be!

How on earth could a toddler like him know Javascript?

Max himself had only learned about it when he was in junior high school.

Unbelievable!

To gauge Dax’s ability, Max tested him to see if he could decode the simple firewall on his old website, which he had created in middle school.

Many problems were intentionally placed there, and this was a test for Dax to fix them.

Max gave him a time limit to see how quickly Dax could identify and rectify the issues on the website.

After a few minutes of waiting, Max was almost speechless with what he saw. He glanced at his watch and then back at the computer screen.

‘Crazy! This kid is a prodigy. How did he solve this so quickly?’

Max observed as Dax broke into the website firewall and fixed several problems within thirty minutes.

Now, he was nervous about this child’s future. Dax might veer down the wrong path if not properly guided early on. Dax didn’t follow the basic rules he had learned in college; instead, this little man forged his own path to decode everything.

What surprised Max even more was Dax’s typing speed. Despite his chubby fingers, Dax’s hands danced rapidly across the keyboard. Max estimated Dax’s words per minute to be around 70-80 with just a glance. This was well beyond the average for a four-year-old.

“Uncle Max, did I do it right?” His eyes sparkled with anticipation, awaiting Max’s response. He needed to know if he had done well.

Max swallowed hard.

He only instructed Dax to fix the website and gave him a few guidance steps. Max hadn’t disclosed that he was actually testing Dax’s hacking ability to penetrate a simple firewall on the website.

And, of course, the little genius had succeeded without needing assistance. He had found his own way to solve the problem.

Max tried to conceal his astonishment behind a warm smile. “Yes, you did a great job, Dax. I’m so proud of you,” he said, ruffling Dax’s soft hair.

“Really? Thank you, uncle, for teaching me. Can we learn something else now? I’m so excited!” Dax’s eyes shone with eagerness as he looked up at Max.

Max silently gulped, captivated by Dax’s innocent enthusiasm. He could see a blazing curiosity burning in Dax’s eyes, urging him onward.

“Little man, we’ve been in this place for two hours. It’s time for you to rest now… And I think we can’t learn anything more until you master doing it faster.”

There was a hint of disappointment in Dax’s eyes. However, his excitement arose again when he heard Max’s last words.

“Uncle Max, you mean I need to repair this website faster than before?” Dax asked, frowning.

“Yes… Yes… Little man. Earlier, you finished it in 30 minutes. If you pass my test and can fix it in…” Max paused, pondering. He couldn’t underestimate this little genius.

After a few seconds, Max continued, “—five minutes… then we will move on to another project. Do you accept this challenge?”

Max had to teach this little genius slowly for a while, or he risked losing his standing in the company. His boss might not rely on him as a hacker and computer expert but instead on his son.

“Hmm… I will try, Uncle Max. I won’t let you down.” Dax nodded, turning his gaze to the computer screen before him.

But before Dax could type anything, Max’s hand stopped him.

“Huh? Why did you stop me, Uncle Max?” He blinked several times, looking at Max, confused.

“Little man, not now. We will learn later. Remember, too much exposure to monitor screens is not good for your eyes. Now, you can go talk to your Daddy…”

Max pointed at Tristan, who was still sitting on the sofa without moving after Bella left the room an hour ago. He was curious to know whether his boss was sleeping there or not.

Dax turned to see his father, surprised to find him still in the room with them. He thought his father had already gone to talk to the elders outside.

After Dax exchanged a few words with Max to make a plan for their next learning session, he immediately approached his father.
