Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1462

Chapter 1462 How To Return To The Past

But before Wendy could come over, Brandon repeated, “Where is she? Where did she go? Why is the kid here? Does she not want her child anymore?”

Silence enveloped the entire living room for a moment.

One of Willow’s last wishes was not for Brandon to learn about the existence of that child so that he could return to his peaceful life.

Yet, at that moment, the man standing before Ichika and asking her those questions was full of rage and resentment. How was it possible for him to pretend that nothing had ever happened?

Indeed, life was not never all about joy, but a complex blend of both anger and sadness.

Ultimately, Ichika still answered his question.

“I don’t know. The child got sent back, and we decided to treat her as our own since we don’t have any children. Mr. Emmanuel, Willow has said that you have nothing to do with this matter, and that also includes the child.”

Ichika was indeed a smart lady.

Even though Brandon knew that Nat was Willow’s child, Ichika sensed that he was still oblivious of the truth; thus, she decided to play along and deny the parental relationship between him and the child.

As soon as Ichika finished her words, Brandon’s face grimaced.

Staring at the baby, the anger residing within him started growing. He turned and was about to leave when something caught his attention.

As Ichika carried the baby up, the small, red-colored birthmark on the back of her neck came into Brandon’s vision.

Brandon’s mind went blank at once.

“Nat, let’s go upstairs for some milk, shall we? You must be hungry, right?”

Ichika, who felt relieved upon seeing Brandon leaving after her reply, did not notice the change in the man’s expression at all. She picked herself up and carried the child upstairs to feed her some milk.

The entire living room fell silent once again.

All that was left were traces of the baby’s milky scent floating in the air, as well as sounds of cute animals from the toys on the floor that were left switched on.

It was a strange feeling that even Brandon could not explain.

As the youngest child of the Emmanuels, he had always led a spoiled life. Not only was he the precious sweetheart of Matilda, but he was also well-loved by his siblings, Philip and Lyla. They would always give in to him. Besides, his uncle, Frederick, would also pamper him and materialize all his wants.

Hence, he had never met any major setbacks; neither did he need to shoulder any responsibilities.

Bringing the pregnant Willow home was probably the most wilful thing he had ever done.
