His words were simply ridiculous!
"There are certain things that I didn't want to say to you at first, Mason, but since you just won't understand, then I think it's best that I be honest with you."
I crossed my arms and looked at him with an icy gaze. "I have raised Munchkin since he was an infant. It has been more than three years and he has hardly ever gotten sick. Even his mental health is great, so why can't he stay with me?"
After a pause, I sneered and continued, "Indeed, you're his biological father, but have you taken care of him even for a day since the day he was born? Where were you when he woke up from a nightmare crying for help? And where were you when he was ill and someone had to be there with him all night to watch over him? Just because you offered sperm and because you're his biological father, you have the right to take him back, is that it?"
"I didn't even know that Cecilia was pregnant at the time!" Mason said, his voice deep and low as if he was suppressing his anger. "If I had known, then I wouldn’t have let her be-much less let her give birth to the child alone and let you raise him in the end."
I sneered. "You didn't know?"
How absurd!
Even Nadia knew that Cecilia was pregnant, how could he not know?
I took a deep breath. "Mason Lynch, even Nadia knew that Cecilia was pregnant back then. And now you’re telling me that you didn't know? Don't you think that's absurd? If she hadn't gone up to Cecilia and said those provoking things to her, Cecilia wouldn't have suffered premature hemorrhage at all. Are you trying t o shirk responsibility? Is that why you're telling me that you didn't know she was pregnant?"
Mason froze. "Are you saying that Cecilia died because of Nadia?"
"Have you never investigated how Cecilia died?"
I was a little disappointed. My disappointment came o n behalf of Cecilia. If he really cared about her, why did he not investigate her cause of death back then?
To put it bluntly, he had never loved her to begin with!
How could I feel at ease handing Munchkin over to a man like him who treated love so lightly?
Mason fell silent and said no more.
I frowned slightly. "If Munchkin knows that his father doesn’t even love his mother and that it was because o f his father's negligence that his mother died, do you think he’ll hate you? Therefore, you're not qualified to raise him. I don't believe that an indifferent person like you can raise him well either."
