Never Blinded by Love (Linda and Wilson) novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240 

Once Samson left, William approached Lexi. “Do you like these building blocks, Lexi?” 

Lexi knew that they were a gift from William. “I do. Thank you, Uncle William.” 

“I’m glad you do.” 

Linda moved aside to give William space for him to play with Lexi. She couldn’t shake the feeling that William genuinely loved children, but then she remembered the past. If he truly loved children, how could he have killed their baby? 

Of course, it wasn’t entirely his fault. Linda shared responsibility. 

If Linda hadn’t been so focused on William, she might have noticed the unfamiliar feelings she was experiencing. Realizing she was pregnant sooner could have led her to protect the baby. 

So, there was no one to blame. Linda sometimes couldn’t help but wonder if the baby might have survived if William hadn’t been so cold–hearted. But now, she no longer harbored resentment about it. 

“I used to wonder what it would be like if we had a child together,” William suddenly said. 

Stunned by his words, Linda glanced at Lexi. Fortunately, Lexi was deeply engrossed in her game and didn’t notice the adults‘ conversation. 

“It’s all in the past, so there’s no point in reminiscing. Find yourself a new partner and be a good husband and father,” she advised, speaking as if to a friend in need of guidance. “But I don’t think I have the courage to build a new family,” William said. 

Linda understood what he was trying to convey. 

“I’m already married and have a child.” This was an answer for William to let go of any hopes. 

“Do you still hate me?” William asked. 

Linda considered it for a moment. “I don’t hate you anymore. Some things aren’t entirely your fault. I was involved, too. Having faced death, my perspective on many things has changed.” 

She felt that it could be considered a sign of growing up. 

“I’m sorry,” William said quietly. 

At that moment, Lexi turned around and asked innocently, “Did you do something wrong, Uncle William? Why are you apologizing to Mommy?” 

Both Linda and William were momentarily stunned. Lexi had quite a sharp ear. 

“No, Lexi, you must have misheard,” Linda said, holding her close. “How about we ask Daddy if we can go out for dinner later if he finishes work early? Didn’t you say you wanted to eat by the Ferris wheel?” 

Lexi clapped in delight. “Yes, the Ferris wheel!” She then looked at William. “Will you come with us, Uncle William?” 

William turned to Linda. “I’ll join if your dad and mom don’t mind.”
