Love from My Dominant Boss novel Chapter 570

Chapter 570 The Illegitimate Child

Leanne did not take offense at my hostile tone; instead, she knocked on one of the bedroom doors and said gently, “Melvin, there is a guest here. Do come out for a while.”

I looked at Leanne in confusion, wondering what she was up to. I just could not figure her out, today but, deep inside, I had a bad premonition.

Instantly, my eyes were glued to the bedroom door and in a short while, a little boy of about five or six years of age emerged. My heart skipped a beat. His face showed a strong resemblance to Leanne’s.

It did not take a rocket scientist to know that the two were related. After taking a deep breath, I tried my best to calm down. Then, I turned my gaze to Leanne and asked in a plain tone, “Is this your child?”

“Um.” Leanne held the little boy named Melvin in her arms, her face a picture of tenderness.

“I didn’t expect you to have a child this age. Since you are already the mother of a child, why would you want to come back for Michael?”

When I said this, I turned my attention to her child. Actually, I was a little afraid that Leanne would suddenly tell me that this child was fathered by Michael.

In fact, I thought that was highly probable. If this child was her child with someone else, then she had absolutely no reason to let me know.

“This child is mine and Michael’s. For so many years, I have been raising him alone but he needs a father’s love. As a mother, I want him to have all the love he needs.

Sure enough, her words confirmed my suspicion.

Although I had mentally prepared myself, when I heard what she said, my heart could not help but tremble fiercely, as if it had been slashed by a knife.

It turned out that they had a child between them. This was something I found difficult in coming to terms with.

Nonetheless, I had always been strong, especially in front of my rivals. I stared at Leanne icily and after a deep breath, I was able to calm myself.

“Since this child is Michael’s, I shall inform him that you have a son fathered by him when I go back tonight. I shall respect his decision. If he wishes to support the child, I have no objections. In fact, I shall take care of him well for you.”

I said this nonchalantly, pretending not to mind, but, in reality, I was feeling very bad.

Leanne was looking at me with a triumphant gaze, but when she heard what I said, her face turned pale.

“Anna, what do you mean by this?”

Leanne looked at me angrily.

“Have I not expressed myself clearly enough? Didn’t you say that a child needs a father’s love? I shall be kind enough to fulfill that need. During this period, I shall discuss with Michael and take Melvin home for a few days to adapt to us.
