Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 1403

He really did know everything!

In a flash, a hint of humiliated red crept up her cheeks from his accusation, and her eyes welled up with tears.

She looked incredibly helpless and utterly pitiful.

Jerome was never a harsh man. He rarely raised his voice. Even with people he despised, he seldom used cruel words, usually choosing to maintain a polite smile while plotting their downfall behind the scenes.

Having just spoken such sharp and insulting words, seeing her on the verge of terrified tears made him furrow his brow. A deep wave of frustration and regret hit him.

An uncontrollable surge of guilt, panic, and tender pity bubbled up inside him.

His thumb gently brushed against the reddened corners of the woman's eyes as he sighed.

"Are you still going to deny it?"

Kimberley sensed his anger, but she also felt his restraint and sudden softness.

She stared at him in a daze. She knew that if Jerome was saying this, it meant the secret was completely out.

Dropping all attempts to hide it, she looked at him and bit her lip.

"Yes, Candy is your daughter."

Even though Jerome had already figured it out from Andrea's confession, he hadn't seen the DNA test yet.

Hearing Kimberley admit it with her own mouth sent a shockwave through his chest. His lips couldn't help but curve into a smile.

His daughter. He actually had a daughter, and she was already so big.

His voice was hoarse. "Kimberley, I..."

Before he could finish, Kimberley gripped his arm tightly, begging him.

"I know I was wrong to hide Candy from you, but I love her so much. Can you just pretend she doesn't exist? I promise I'll take her far away. We'll never interfere with your life. Please don't tear my daughter away from me. I can't live without Candy, I..."
