Both Cara and Kevin were baffled by his sudden confession, and for a moment they were unable to react, staring at him in a dumbfounded manner.
"...... what?" After a moment, Kevin asked in disbelief.
The corners of Levi's thin lips pursed hard, and once again he said in a deep voice, "The man Ruby has been looking for from five years ago is me."
This time, Kevin stood up with a start, and Cara finally reacted, looking at him with her mouth half open.
"You - you're actually, you're the man from five years ago! You're actually, you're Olivia's real father!"
With that, she shook her head again as if she could hardly believe it, "How is this possible? How could it be such a coincidence?"
She looked at Ruby, urgently asking her for confirmation, "What he said is really true? Did you have him to fool me? Let me tell you, although I am old and useless, I am not demented! You two, don't try to fool me!"
On the other side, Kevin was also busy echoing.
"That's right, sister, how can brother-in-law be that man back then! That man is not a good person, he actually did that kind of thing! He's a scum of the earth! A beastly thing! How can brother-in-law be that man? Don't be ridiculous, will you?"
At these words, Levi was speechless for a while, the corner of his mouth tugging.
Scum of the earth? A beast? Not a good person?
Heh ......
He didn’t know why, but when Kevin's words fell, he felt a chill run up his back and shivered.
He raised his hand to touch his nose, felt a subtle gaze staring at him, twisted his head to look over and saw that Levi was wearing a smiling expression, his back got even colder.
Ruby was amused by the reaction of the two, and hurriedly explained.
"Grandma, he is not lying, and we have no need to lie to you, the man back then was indeed him."
At these words, the large living room was falling into an eerie silence.
Kevin and Cara seemed to be in sync, with their eyes darting back and forth between Levi and Ruby, then landing on Levi's face in unison, staring at him as if they were seeing him for the first time.
After a few moments, Cara finally spoke up, "Levi, are you really the man from back then?"
Levi's heart thudded and he sensed something bad.
He straightened his serious face, nodded solemnly, and then explained roughly what happened five years ago before Cara became furious.
