She asked very bluntly, without even the slightest pause. However, Kylie's hands were tightly clasped together and her nerves were tense.
She knew that the answer she wanted would probably bring her to her doom, but she was so stubborn to ask.
Joseph looked at Kylie and saw how strong she was pretending to be but how fragile she looked like a lily in the rain, and his heart suddenly ached.
He subconsciously answered her directly.
"No, I didn't have sex with her, or even with any woman."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kylie's tense nerves went slack. She couldn't stand up and fell straight backward.
Joseph quickly held her up and looked at Kylie with concern.
She was too nervous!
In fact, how could Joseph not be nervous?
His palms were also sweating.
Kylie collapsed into a warm embrace and was still in a trance, but she couldn't care so much. She grabbed Joseph's hand straight away and asked nervously, "You didn't have sex with any woman, so the child in Mia's belly isn't yours, is it?"
"Yes."
Joseph met Kylie's anxious eyes and somehow blurted out the truth.
Kylie's tense heart finally loosened up a bit, but she asked with confusion, "If it's not your child, why did you marry her? You know very well that I like you and that I want to marry you!"
Joseph was dumbfounded by Kylie's words.
What did she mean she liked him?
Did she want to marry him?
Why didn't he know anything about it before?
His brilliant brain seemed to have suddenly shut down. Joseph just stared blankly at Kylie, and the last words of Kylie echoed in his head over and over again.
When Kylie saw Joseph like this, she couldn't help but cry out.
"Joseph, you're a fool!"
She pushed Joseph away and turned to run.
"Kylie!"
Joseph tried to go after her but found that his legs were so heavy that he couldn't lift them up.
And Kylie suddenly felt depressed after running away for some distance.
What was she running for?
What had she come to do?
Kylie suddenly stopped, turned around, ran up to Joseph again, tugged at his collar on tiptoe, and asked angrily, "Are you still marrying her?"
"Yes!"
Joseph subconsciously replied, but that answer infuriated Kylie.
She gritted her teeth and said in a rage, "No! You are mine! You can only marry me!"
Seeing Kylie's domineering look, Joseph suddenly felt his heart warming.
He petted Kylie's head dotingly and said, "I have a reason that I must marry her."
Kylie suddenly looked like a deflated ball, and her radiant eyes instantly dulled, as if the whole world had lost its color.
Joseph suddenly felt his heart ache terribly.
He took Kylie's hand in his and said in a low voice, "The child Mia was carrying was my friend's, but a few days ago, my friend died in an archaeological accident. He was the only son of his family. His parents were overwhelmed by the news. His mother had a heart attack and was not rescued, and his father had a stroke and is still in intensive care. If Mia hadn't been pregnant, it would have been fine, but the child in her belly is probably the only bloodline of my friend's family, so ..."
Kylie instantly understood.
"So you're planning to give the child a proper identity and let Mia give birth to the child to leave your friend an offspring?"
