Emma’s reaction was what Emily had expected. Emily quickly reassured the young lady. “Emma, don’t overthink it. Nathan did a DNA test with that child today, and the results showed that the boy isn’t his son. I’m on your side, no matter what. I won’t recognize the child as a Carter. To me, you’re the Carter family’s only daughter–in–law. Only your child will be the Carter family’s legitimate heir.
“When you and Nathan get married, you’ll have your own child. Any child born to that wench, Olivia, is unworthy.” Emily didn’t hide her disdain towards Olivia at all. However, Emma wasn’t comforted after hearing this. She forced a smile, but she looked utterly miserable.
Having been by Nathan’s side for many years, she had long realized how he felt about certain people. Whenever Olivia was involved, Nathan’s behavior would change. Moreover, that child was undeniably his own flesh and blood. With this connection, he and Olivia could never be separated!
Emma was consumed by jealousy. She had been with Nathan for five years, yet he never touched or glanced at her. He didn’t care about her at all. Now that our engagement is being called off, how can we have a child? Just the thought of this drove Emma slightly mad
Nathan is mine! I will be the future Mrs. Carter! Olivia, you wench. Don’t even think about taking away everything that belongs to me! What happened five years ago was an accident. That child is also an accident Accidents need to be rectified!
Olivia’s emotions were still unsettled when she returned home with Liam. Although today’s test results were in her favor, she knew deep down that Liam’s birthday and appearance were still suspicious. With Nathan’s personality, he probably wouldn’t give up easily. If the first test failed, there might be a second…
Olivia couldn’t help but feel a headache forming. Unfortunately, she had to stay in the country to handle the subsidiary office’s affairs. Otherwise, she would have taken her son and left long ago!
Upon entering the house, the boy hugged her tightly and buried his face in her neck. He was still feeling distraught. Olivia. sighed, patted his back, and asked, “Are you still sad?”
The child’s lashes were still wet with tears, and his eyes were watery as he muffled, “Mommy, did I make a mistake? I shouldn’t have returned to look for Daddy. Did you already know that Grandma is that kind of person? She won’t recognize me, that’s why… I’m sorry, Mommy. I was being selfish and didn’t consider your feelings…
Olivia never expected Liam to say such words then, and she was pretty surprised. She carried him to the sofa and observed his expression. He was sad, lost, and slightly guilty. It seemed like he was genuinely reflecting on his actions! This sudden return to the country was impulsive, but every child’s longing for paternal love was inherent. How can I blame him?
“Silly boy, it’s not your fault! It’s my fault that you haven’t had a daddy for all these years…. I also understand that you’ve always yearned for a father deep down! It’s my fault. I understand why you came to the country this time. Besides, what’s done is done. Blaming you is pointless… I just hope you remember one thing. If you can’t get your way, don’t force it. You’re my treasure. I don’t want you to suffer or be wronged because of conflicts between adults, like what happened today, alright? I’m heartbroken to see you like this.”
Emily harbored a strong dislike towards her, which also extended to Liam, and this sentiment couldn’t be changed under any circumstances. The rims of the boy’s eyes reddened. I’m sorry, Mommy. I just… really wanted a daddy! I won’t be so demanding in the future. I… love you the most, Mommy. I only need you…”
Olivia felt a pang in her heart upon hearing this. She embraced him tightly and said, “I understand, but you can’t always get
you want or have things your way.”
Liam wept bitterly. He truly adored Nathan… However, he felt guilty that Emily had berated Olivia. What should I do now? Liam had been utterly tormented that day, and his emotions were in turmoil. The young boy cried himself to sleep as tears. stained his face. Olivia felt deeply distressed, and she carried him to his room and gently laid him on the bed after he had
drifted off.
