My Wife is a Hidden Big Shot

"Aurora..."

Aurora Sinclair hurried forward, throwing herself into the arms of the slightly aged man.

"Morgan..."

His arms tightened around her. Listening to the familiar rhythm of each other’s heartbeats, the emptiness she had felt for so long finally seemed to be filled.

Standing to the side, Winona Morgan stared in disbelief at the two people embracing before her.

’Is this beautiful young woman really my mother, the one who went off to be a superhero and save the world?’

Her feelings were a tangled mess.

After a long hesitation, she finally called out, "Dad, it’s time to go home for dinner."

Aurora Sinclair turned to look. Standing a short distance away was a woman who bore a strong resemblance to her. ’She must be my youngest daughter, Winona Morgan.’

Alvin Morgan took her hand and introduced her to the woman opposite them. "Winona, this is your mother."

Although Winona Morgan had already guessed, the word "Mom" wouldn’t leave her lips. The woman before her looked identical to her photograph, but the years of emotional distance made it impossible for her to say it so easily.

"Winona..." Alvin Morgan’s expression darkened, on the verge of getting angry with his daughter for the first time.

Aurora Sinclair patted his arm. "Let’s go home first."

Their home had been moved to a newly developed villa district.

It wasn’t far from the park, only a ten-minute-or-so walk.

Outside the residential complex stood several middle-aged men in black suits. There was a familiar look about them.

It was Beta Morgan and the other three.

"Sir, you’re ba— Aurora?" Beta Morgan’s smile turned to shock as he cried out.

This face was identical to the woman in his memory.

’I’m not dreaming, am I?’

Beta Morgan pinched himself hard. ’It doesn’t hurt... I must be dreaming...’ he muttered under his breath.

Beside him, Dean Morgan silently rubbed his own arm and said helplessly, "Mr. Beta, you pinched me."

"Holy crap! Then this really is Aurora!"

Alvin Morgan looked at the somewhat foolish-acting Beta Morgan and said with a smile, "Beta Morgan, go get your wife. Let Aurora see her..."

Before Aurora Sinclair left for the Holy Mountain, she had specifically asked Alvin Morgan to help Beta Morgan find a partner.

Beta Morgan stared blankly at his boss for a moment, then let out a bellow toward the villa district behind him. "Wife! Come out, quick! Aurora’s back!"

Beta Morgan’s roar instantly threw the entire villa district into an uproar.

No outsiders lived here; it was all Aurora Sinclair’s relatives and friends.

The entire district had been built jointly by the Sinclair family’s second master, Thomas Sinclair, and his son-in-law, Alvin Morgan. It wasn’t for public sale and belonged solely to Aurora Sinclair.

Hearing his shout, everyone inside their homes was so shocked that they all ran out.

Soon, Aurora Sinclair saw a crowd of people running toward them, a mix of familiar and unfamiliar faces.

"Senior Sister—!"

Leigh Miles shouted.

Moving faster than anyone else, she dashed straight for Aurora Sinclair.

After all these years, Leigh Miles’s appearance hadn’t changed much. Like Aurora Sinclair, she still looked like she was in her twenties.

Generally, Martial Artists with the Vitality Attribute had long lifespans and looked younger than their peers, making it impossible to guess their true age.

She threw her arms around Aurora Sinclair and began to wail, her scalding tears seeming to freeze into ice crystals on Aurora’s cold skin.

Having just returned from the Holy Mountain, the chill hadn’t yet dissipated from her body.

Aurora Sinclair raised a hand to pat her back, gently pushed her away, and tucked the tissue Dean Morgan handed her into Leigh Miles’s hand.

"Senior Sister, you’re finally back. Master will be overjoyed. He’s at the International Penitentiary right now. I’ll contact him immediately..."

Master Aerion had been promoted to Intermediate Supervisor two years ago and was assigned to the International Penitentiary, while Titus Miles had become a Guardian of Veridia.

Aurora Sinclair gave a slight nod, her gaze drawn to an elderly figure.

Behind the crowd, a young-looking man was slowly pushing a white-haired old man in a wheelchair toward them.

The young man strongly resembled a younger Alvin Morgan. The old man in the wheelchair had a face etched with the marks of time, and his eyes were cloudy.

She walked over quickly and knelt directly before the old man. "Dad... I’m back!"

The old man extended a hand as withered as a dead branch. Aurora Sinclair immediately grasped it, channeling a stream of Vitality into his body.

His complexion visibly grew ruddy, and his spirits seemed to lift.

Everyone was stunned, a sense of awe filling their hearts. ’As expected of the Maker.’

"It’s good that you’re back..."

Aurora Sinclair held his wrist, checking his body. There were remnants of Wood Attribute Energy inside.

Someone must have been using Wood Attribute Energy to nourish his body.

’Without a doubt, it must be Leigh Miles and Mr. Beta.’

"Mom, I’m the second son, Jason Morgan..." the young man suddenly said.

Aurora Sinclair froze. She studied him for a few moments, her gaze tightening before she reached out and grabbed his arm.

Jason Morgan said with a hint of resignation, "Mom, stop checking. I did activate a portion of the Beast Gene..."

Back then, before her pregnancy, Aurora Sinclair had worried constantly that her children would inherit her Super Soldier Gene. While preparing for pregnancy, she had been taking medication developed by Leigh Miles and Beta Morgan to lower the gene’s transmission rate.

Fortunately, after her three children were born, none of them displayed the superhuman motor skills she had as a child, and their physical stats were relatively healthy.

But unexpectedly, one of her children had still inherited that mutated Super Soldier Gene.

"Senior Sister, don’t worry. Based on the blood samples you left, Mr. Beta and I have already refined a serum to suppress the Beast Gene. Jason won’t easily lose control before he becomes a Great Martial Venerable..."

Aurora Sinclair had discovered back then that the Beast Gene in her body was inexplicably suppressed after she became a Great Martial Venerable.

At the time, she suspected that the Body Refining Boxing Technique had altered her Constitution. Later, through research by Leigh Miles and Beta Morgan, they discovered that some kind of unknown special substance had appeared in her body, which was very likely what was suppressing her Beast Gene.

Leigh Miles later speculated that this substance might be related to the lightning strike Aurora encountered during her breakthrough on Sunstone. Perhaps as her strength increased, the gene in her body would be completely deactivated by the time she became a Martial God.

Aurora Sinclair squeezed her son’s arm. Its hardness could indeed rival her own from back then.

"Mom, I’ve already notified my older brother. He’ll be back soon," Jason Morgan said with a smile.

’At least he didn’t inherit my deadpan expression...’

Everyone followed Aurora Sinclair and Alvin Morgan to their home.

The spacious living room was filled with people.

Beta Morgan enthusiastically introduced the new members of the extended Morgan Family to Aurora Sinclair.

Aiden Morgan’s wife was the former fugitive princess of Masovia, Martha.

Benjamin Morgan’s wife turned out to be her best friend, Luna Jennings, though she wasn’t present and was currently on her way back.

Dean Morgan’s wife was her junior apprentice sister, Leigh Miles, which she already knew.

Finally, Beta Morgan sheepishly put his arm around a woman who looked somewhat familiar and said with a silly grin, "My wife, Ruth Winslow."

Aurora Sinclair was stunned. She looked back and forth between Ruth Winslow and Beta Morgan for a long moment before finally turning her gaze to a smug-looking Leigh Miles and Dean Morgan.

Leigh Miles said with a beaming smile, "Don’t be surprised, Senior Sister. We keep our titles separate. Mr. Beta only has to call me ’auntie’ when he returns to the Nine Peaks Realm..."

Beta Morgan: ...
