Kane replied without thinking, "Of course, he is my son ..." After he blurted out, Kane realized that he made a mistake. He then looked up at Juliana, who was rather touched by Kane's words.
"Kane, thank you for being so tolerant of me. You know that the baby is ... " It seemed that a thorn in Juliana's side was removed by Kane. She was not only touched but also grateful.
"Don't mention it," Kane interrupted Juliana, not wanting her to bring up something that upset her. Then he said, "I promised I would treat him as my own, and I will. He is your son, so how could I not love him?"
As he said this, Kane felt guilty again. The guilt had overwhelmed her.
"Kane..." Juliana held Kane's hand affectionately.
When the two were looking at each other, Kane's cell phone rang suddenly. The baby in his arms was woken up by the noise and wriggled with displeasure. Kane saw this, returned the baby to Juliana, and took out his cell phone impatiently to see who was calling at this time.
Looking at the caller ID, Kane looked bad.
Juliana looked at him and said, "It's Poppy, right?"
Only Poppy could make Kane have such an expression on his face.
He had muted the phone, but the screen was lit up repeatedly because Poppy kept dialing him. Kane looked at Juliana, somewhat troubled.
Juliana smiled and said, "You pick it up."
Kane then picked up the phone and said impatiently, "What do you want from me?"
"Kane ... where are you ...?" Poppy's voice was choked.
Having loved her for more than ten years, Kane noticed something wrong with Poppy and asked her anxiously, "Poppy, don't cry. Tell me what happened."
Juliana heard Kane's anxious tone and frowned slightly, staring at him after pacifying the baby.
"Kane, I'm so scared now ..." Poppy said with a choked voice, "Jacob is a jerk!"
"What's going on?" Kane got even more anxious.
"My transfer of assets was discovered by him..." Poppy sobbed before saying, "He said he would prosecute me for theft of company assets and put me into jail if I don't agree to divorce him ..."
"I told you it was risky," Kane said in annoyance when he heard that Poppy had gotten into trouble for transferring the company's assets.
"You never listen to me."
"I acted so stealthily, and I never expected he would find out ..." Poppy said anxiously, "Kane, come back and help me think of a way, or I will be divorced and end up having nothing. "
Poppy's voice sounded like she was afraid she would lose everything.
"I see. I'll go back and talk to you about this, and I'll see you tomorrow at noon." Kane did not think that much and agreed.
