Johnny looked at Wendy in shock after heard that.
Wendy didn't avoid Johnny's eyes. Although her hand, which was holding the teacup tightly, was slightly shaking, her eyes were still staring at him, waiting for an answer.
Johnny's body seemed to be stiff. After a long time, he slowly closed his eyes, and the expression on his face was very vicissitudes. "You still heard it that day..."
The last time Helen came to the study with Yolanda, Wendy happened to come over.
Helen couldn't get a penny from Johnny, so she said a lot without thinking. Johnny paid special attention to Wendy after that, but he saw that Wendy was in a good mood at that time, he thought the door was closed and the sound insulation was good, so she didn't hear what she shouldn't have heard...
"Yes." Wendy nodded.
Seeing such a reaction from Johnny, she had already understood, so she did not speak again and waited for him to continue.
"Since you've heard it and ask me about it now, I won't hide it from you anymore!" Johnny put his hand on the knee and seemed to have made up his mind. He said slowly, "You are indeed not my daughter."
"Then I..." Wendy's throat tightened. Johnny answered her questions, "Your mother was already pregnant when she married me."
Wendy felt that all her breath was taken away in an instant.
Johnny sighed deeply, his gaze gradually drifting away as if he was recalling scenes from many years ago. "It has been so many years, and I still can't forget. Your mother walked slowly toward me in a white dress... I fell in love with her at first sight. All I want in my life is to marry her! Even if later I learned that she was actually pregnant with someone else's child, and was determined not to abort it. I had some doubts, but finally, I chose to accept it, accept you!"
"We almost got married in a flash, and she didn't even hesitate. When she heard that I was willing to accept you, she didn't hesitate to marry me."
"I was very happy at that time, and I felt that I was the happiest man in the world. I swear when I said 'I do' to the priest in the church, I really wanted to take good care of your mother and you!"
Johnny was a little excited at the end of his words, and a heavy sadness fell into his eyes.
After calming down for a long time, he found his voice again and looked up at Wendy. "Wendy, I know, you blame me in your heart -- but do you know? Your mother had never loved me, and she loved someone else in her heart! I can tolerate that she's pregnant with another man's child and can treat the child as my, but what I can't stand is that my wife doesn't even look at me in the eye, and she's even so painful to take my hand..." "Yes, I made a big mistake in the marriage. In the beginning, I was seduced by Helen, but your mother didn't care, not at all! When Helen was pregnant, I even wanted Helen to abort the child, as long as your mother gave me a tiny hope! I had worked hard for eight years, for eight whole years, but I still can't enter your mother's heart!" Johnny finally smiled bitterly.
He had thought that he would eventually move her through time, but reality gave him a tight slap.
It was enough for the Chinese Communist Party to win the war with Japan in eight years, but Johnny couldn't win a woman's heart.
Wendy became more and more silent.
Johnny's voice was filled with grief and indignation. It seemed that he had not been able to forget for a long time, and the expression on his face was so lonely.
She never knew that there were things between her parents that no one knew about. No wonder, before the age of eight, she had a happy childhood, but all of these disappeared with the moment her mother jumped off the building.
"I don't know who that man is, but I do know that your mother can't forget him until the moment she died..." Johnny paused and asked bitterly, "You always think that your mother suicided because she couldn't stand me looking for the mistress, right?"

The readers' comments on the novel: Purchased A Mr. Right
Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
