Chapter 120
Leonardo had thought that it would be a secret that he would never tell until his death, but to spill it out was not as difficult. as expected.
Since he had already started it, Leonardo was not in a hurry and help Nafis to walk slowly while telling him what exactly happened.
In fact, Dylan was not the son of Leonardo but of his father, Richard.
Leonardo found out the secret in some letters stored in Richard’s safe while packing up his legacies.
It turned out that since the establishment of Brooks Group, Richard had been supporting a group of poor students to study at university every year until their graduation.
And Virginia was one of the poor students supported by Richard.
The year when Virginia was admitted to college, she somehow found the phone number and contact address of Richard, calling to say that she wanted to thank him for his years of help. Then they got in touch.
These clues were found by Leonardo in the letters between Richard and those poor students.
And it was the letter from Virginia to Richard that made Leonardo realize the real relationship between the two.
Virginia wrote in her letter that she was pregnant with Richard’s child and asked if she should come to Richard, have an abortion, or tell Maria.
Leonardo went mad when he saw this letter. If Richard were still alive, he would definitely question him face to face. But Richard had already passed away.
He did not dare to make a scene about it or tell his mother Maria. He was afraid that Maria would find it unbearable, so he hid the letters
Leonardo knew Richard’s way of doing things. If he really wanted Virginia’s child to die, it would have been long gone. However, that Virginia was fine to show her pregnancy just suggested that Richard didn’t want to love an abortion either.
Since it was Richard’s wish, Leonardo didn’t force Virginia to abort the child.
Later, Virginia came back and set him up. Although he was drunk, he still had consciousness of what he had done and hadn’t done.
Leonardo didn’t expose the lie of Virginia, so he took advantage of her trap and confessed that the child was his.
Leonardo told Nafis about what had happened back then, just to let him know that he hadn’t any relationship with Virginia and that he did not betray Rosalind
“Dad, I know I used to be a jerk, but at that time I was unable to see my heart and didn’t realize the importance of Rosalind to me. But now I know, I know that I can’t leave her. I love her, and I cannot live without her. Dad, could you please give me
another chance?”
It took a long time for Nafis to recover from what Leonardo had said.
He never thought that the child of Leonardo and Virginia was the son of Richard and Virginia.
That was ridiculous.
What surprised Natis more was that Leonardo raised his brother in blood as his son
And Maria treated the mistress her husband kept outside as her good daughter-in-law and spoiled the child of that woman.
Well… It was so absurd that even the TV series didn’t dare to develop like this.
However, even after knowing the truth, Nafis was more unwilling to forgive Leonardo and allow Rosalind to make up with
As an old saying went “Like father, like son”, Nafis couldn’t guarantee whether or not with a father like Richard, Leonardo would also keep a mistress outside and come out with another son.
“I didn’t know there was a thing like this… But you and Rosalind still don’t fit in.
“Not to mention anything else, you have never explained to Rosalind the matter of why you accepted Dylan as your son. You haven’t even thought about it, which means that you don’t care about her or her opinions at all.
“Between you and Rosalind, she has always laren conceding, but you have never put yourself in her shoes and taken everything for granted. Such a relationship can’t last long.
“Since you’ve separated, it’s better to forget about it. Besides, you don’t have a deep feeling for her, so there is no ne disturbs her life again for a love that has long passed away,”
Nafis said that flatly, just like an elder’s earnest instruction to the younger generation. There was no anger or roar in his tone, but a taint of sincerity.

Chapter 120
“No, I love her. I’ve never been so clear-beaded about what exactly I want.
“As my father once told you, I fell in love with her when I was in college. But I didn’t know what love was at that time, so 1 kept rejecting it. Now I know that is what love is.”
Recalling the past linle by lile, Leonando didn’t even know when Rosalind took root and sprouted slowly in his heart.
Perhaps it was the first time when Rosalind confessed her love in public that made his heart pound.
Or perhaps it was when Rosalind, together with the cheerleading team, came to see him play basketball and he struggled to
win the MVT.
Or maybe it was when he knew that Rosalind would come to watch his debate and he refreshed and rehe a rsed the materials all day and night
Or it might have happened when he got angry with Rosalind’s bright smile at other bays, and thus deliberately announced Virginia as his girlfriend in public.
Leonardo didn’t know it was from when, Rosalind’s laughter, mischief, and eyes began to come into his heart.
After getting married, even if his rational self restricted him from trusting her who was full of lies, Leonardo couldn’t help but want to go back and see her.
Even though he was sober, he still had to pretend to be drunk before having sex with her.
Even though he knew that Rosalind was into him, he was afraid that she would hate him after knowing that Richard had kept a mistress outside.
Leonards loved Rosalind, but he realized it too late.
“Why are you so stubborn?”
Leonardo reminded Nafis of Rosalind, who put everything behind her after falling in love with Leonardo.
They were so persistent, but they had already missed each other.
“Dad, there’s another reason why I can’t let go and why you can’t force me to separate from Roulind.”
Leonardo gathered his wit together, looking at Nadis firmly and saying it with a solemn tone.
“What is it?” Nalis inquired with doubt.
“Because…
Rosalind and Margery had been waiting on the bench for a long time, so long that Rosalind was worried that Leonardo might quarrel or fight with Nafis.
She was worried that Nafis might get so irritated by Leonardo that he would fall ill.
Just as she was to look for them, she saw the figures of Nafis and Leonardo slowly walking toward then
Seeing that Naus was safe and sound. Rosalind breathed a deep sigh out of relief, hurrying to their side after exchanging a look with Margery.
“Dad, are you okay?”
Rosalind grabbed Nafis’ arms and checked up and down. Although see nothing wrong, she still couldn’t help asking.
