"Violet, I think you're seriously underestimating me. Finding out things like that is just a walk in the park for me.
Even if you were so careful about it that you didn't even tell your relatives that you didn't have an abortion, I'll still have my ways to find out about it. After all, you have been bringing the baby along with you everywhere you went in the past couple of years, so it shouldn't be that hard for me to put the pieces together and realize that you didn't get an abortion and kept our baby!" William exclaimed.
Of course, there was no way William could ever tell her that it was Carla who told him about this news by accident. Noticing the flustered look on her face, he held Violet's hand and assured her, "Don't worry. I'm not going to take the child away from you.
My parents hadn't found out about it as well. So, there's no need for you to worry about anything."
Truth be told, in his eyes, although the baby wasn't really the vital factor, the baby's existence indeed strengthened his resolve to keep patiently waiting for her to come back into his arms.
"Okay, I'm glad that you're sensible enough to think this way. Cody is my child. Don't go having any weird ideas about stealing him from me! If you dare to think about it, I swear I'm going to hate you for a lifetime."
Violet gave him a fair warning.
Since she was the one who gave birth to Cody, not to mention the fact that the child was a boy, she couldn't dare let the Qi family find out about him.
She knew William's parents quite well. Because of that, she was scared that his parents would arrange for people to find a way to get their grandchildren back at all costs.
"Violet, why can't you just learn from Carla's actions? As soon as she came back with her child, she immediately went back to look for Terence—the child's father." Holding onto Violet's hand, William tried to stop her from running away. Then, he went ahead and added, "Cody is also my child, just as much as he is yours! Why don't you just come to me?"
"No, our relationship is much too different from theirs. Carla had gone missing after getting into an accident. It's not like she had an argument with Mr. Terence before she disappeared like we did. For that reason, she would most certainly go back to see him the moment she got back. But, as for you and I..."
Violet said, choking on her words.
When the thought of all the cruel things William had done to her all because of that woman's fake pregnancy came rushing through her head, she just couldn't find it in herself to forgive him at all.
"Violet, I understand that after all of the horrible things I've done to you, you won't be able to forgive me. But could you just please give me a chance to try to make it up to you? I know just how hard it is for you to be raising our son on your own. As a father, it's my responsibility to take care of the two of you and keep you safe!"
William was now already forty years old. And since he wasn't getting any younger, he became much too tired of worrying about things like love. At this point in his life, all he really wanted was to have a place he could call his home—a harbor which belonged to him.
Even though the option to get married and start a family of his own with another woman had always been there, Violet had always been in his heart, so he had never shown any interest on other women ever since she left.
