Chapter 1464 Tough Choice
Brandon requested to take the child with him.
At that, Ichika panicked.
“No way. You can’t take her with you. She’s still so small, and besides, I’m her mother now. You can’t take her with you. She’s my child.”
After spending two months with the little one, Ichika had long gone past the phase of struggling and was now very used to having her companionship. The two looked like a real pair of mother and daughter duo.
Nevertheless, Brandon was unwilling to listen to Ichika and was adamant about leaving with the baby.
Ichika was on the brink of bursting into tears when Solomon came in and stood before Brandon.
“Brandon, what do you want?”
“I want to take her with me!” Brandon cast his bloodshot eyes at the child in his arms as he uttered with a hoarse voice.
Solomon, on the other hand, remained solemn. “And then? Do you want to bring her back and let the Emmanuels bully her like how they did to Willow? Brandon, it’s exactly because Willow couldn’t bring herself to stay any longer that she chose to leave.”
Those words were like a sharp blade stabbing right through Brandon’s chest. At that instance, the scene of him meeting Willow for the last time popped up in his mind.
That was the day when she finally returned to the Emmanuel residence. But it was also the day she infuriated Matilda till the latter landed herself in the hospital.
Despite what happened, Brandon came home to find an unusually calm Willow—she did not even throw tantrums like she always would.
All that she had said was “Brandon, I’m sorry.”
After a pause, she continued, “Brandon, that child isn’t yours. It’s a test tube baby that I made.”
Those words made him flew into a fit of rage.
He had made up his mind and brought her back home just so that both her and the baby could get a proper title and status. Yet, she decided to tell him that the baby was only a test tube baby she had made and not his child.
At this point, her actions back then were probably an indication of how she had a premonition of how things would take a turn.
After all, a woman would never joke about such things unless she was cornered into hopelessness.
She had probably made up her mind then. But Brandon did not notice at all. It was even to the extent that he remained clueless when she became sick.
“Brandon, Willow has mentioned in her last words that she doesn’t blame you. She takes full responsibility for everything that had happened between you two. She wanted you to lead your own life, and that was why she didn’t want us to tell you about the existence of this child. What are you going to do if you bring this child home now? Do you want to give up on your dream and career?”
