Chapter 388
However, Lisa shook her head as the corners of her lips curled up."They didn't even get married.How could they be divorced?"
"Ah..." Lily exclaimed.
The first thing that came into her mind was how open-minded the people abroad were.How could a couple not get married and have a child that age?
"Actually, Nick was all part of Helen's plan," Lisa mumbled and sighed.
Then, she looked out the window as if reminiscing.She knew all this because she used to regard Helen as her friend back then and even had a little sympathy for her.
"Plan? Is that not his child?"
"No, it is his! Helen had always liked Mike.She was madly in love with him and swore that she would marry him.However, Mike didn't bat an eyelid at her.Later, she pulled some tricks out of her sleeves and got herself pregnant with his child.In her mind, Mike would marry her after finding out she was bearing his child.She did not expect that he did not even want this child at all, but Helen refused to abort it and insisted on the baby being born.
"Then, bringing the child with her, she went to beg Mike.As a result, Mike took Nick in, gave her a sum of money, and still refused to marry her.A few years later, Nick has also grown up.Helen said she wants to be there for him to establish a mother-son relationship while trying to get close to Mike."
Then, Lisa paused and gulped down half a glass of water.She was thirsty after saying all that.
"Lilsy, I used to think it must be hard for her to love someone so deeply and not have it be reciprocated.That’s why I wanted to help her.It's a good thing if they get together, after all.Children need a proper family to grow up in.However, I didn't expect her to have such a character.After that day in the hospital, I think I understand why Mike refused to be with her, even after so many years."
Lily stayed silent this whole time, not knowing what to say.She was here for dinner, yet managed to learn all these dramas.
However, upon hearing this, she could understand why Helen did not know anything about Nick's condition.
