Chapter 72
“Liar, Mommy, you liar… You don’t have a baby at all. You don’t have a father at all. I want a father, I still want a father…” he said and began to cry again.
“You little guy… I didn’t lie to you. I really have a baby, but the baby is very small. Next year, when the baby grows up, he will come out to play with you. Don’t cry, okay? If you keep crying, Mommy will also cry.” I didn’t expect that Cedric would be more difficult to coax as he grows up, so I had to comfort him patiently.
“Does the baby have a father?” He stopped crying and asked seriously.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
“Err… Err… Err…” I was stumped by his question again.
“Is he also a poor child without a father like me? Waah… As mommy’s children, why are they so pitiful? We don’t have a father. How pitiful we are! We hate to be mommy’s children, hate…”
“That’s enough. I can give it to you.” I was almost driven crazy by Cedric and shouted out in a hurry.
“Eh?” He was stunned for a moment, and then crawled up and down to look for me. “Where is dad?”
“What are you looking for? How could it be on me? He’s in Country Z, the distant Country Z, and it will take a long flight to get there. Do you know?”
“I’m going to Country Z, I’m looking for father…” he said, jumping off the bed, and then walked barefoot to a small cabinet aside. He fetched a small stool and stood on it. He opened the door of the cabinet and was about to pack his things.
At this moment, I realized that I had done something stupid. I was afraid that Edmund would know that he had a son? Now Cedric is going to find him. What should I do? I can’t stop him. He’s a tough guy. I’m afraid he’ll make me restless. But if I really want to take him to Edmund, I’m a
‘what should I do? What should I do?
Edmund’s POV
When Edmund and I came to The bar for fun, we met a model named Iris. It was not until then that we realized that the woman who appeared in the Manche Club that night was not her.
Then who was the woman who had sex with me in The Manche Club last time?
Was it really Leanna??
A familiar face suddenly appeared in my mind.
It must be. No wonder she refused to turn on the light that night. It turned out that she was afraid that I would recognize her.
What the hell was this woman doing? Why do you climb into my bed again and again in all kinds of ways, but don’t dare to show up in front of me?
Thinking of this, I immediately stood up from the sofa and said to Oarlan, “let’s go to do something.” Then I went straight to the door of the bar.
“Mr. President, what happened? Why did you leave all of a sudden?” Walking out of the bar and on the way to the parking lot, Oarlan asked curiously.
“Go to The Manche Club and find out who the woman who went to the presidential suite that night was.” I said as I walked.
“That night? Does it mean…” he also felt that things were very strange, so he immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed the general manager of The Manche Club.
I told The general manager on the phone and asked him to prepare the surveillance video of that night. Then we got on the car together and drove quickly towards the Manche Club.
Twenty minutes later, we arrived at The monitoring room of the Manche Club. When I saw the content of the surveillance video, my eyes widened.
“How could this be? Isn’t this Miss Leanna?” Oarlan exclaimed in disbelief, looking at the woman who was taking the room card from the front desk.
“Find a private detective right now. No matter what method you use, even if you search the whole world, find Leanna for me.” Looking at the familiar figure, I ordered coldly. I will never let her deceive me this time.
What does she think of me? She could come and go as she wanted. Could she disappear if she didn’t want?
“Yes, I know what to do.” He nodded.
After walking out of The Manche Club, Edmund still looked terrible. After saying goodbye to Oarlan, he went home, while he drove towards the seaside. It seemed that he was going to blow the sea wind to calm himself down.
Leanna’s POV
I held Cedric’s hand and walked out of the exit of the airport.
“Mommy, can we see daddy today?” He asked as he walked out.
“No I have to send you to the hospital first and make the hospitalization arrangement for you. After you are settled, I will go to find your father and let him come to see you, okay?”
“Can’t you wait till today? Mommy, do you want to lie to me again?” He raised his head and looked at me with distrust.
I sighed and couldn’t do anything to him. “We have been on the plane for so long and we are very tired. Do you want dad to see us in such a mess?”
“Well, that’s right. Remember to dress up well when you go to see father. I’m afraid that he will pretend not to know you when he sees you so unlovely.” He reminded her thoughtfully.
It was already evening after we arrived at the children’s Hospital and went through the admission procedures. They settled Cedric down.
After dinner, I took Cedric to sleep.
The second morning, when I woke up, I found that Cedric had already woken up. He was sitting on the bed and chatting with the nurse who came in to draw blood.
After washing my face and brushing my teeth, I changed into a black dress with a square collar. Then I put on a light make-up and ran to Cedric. “How about baby? Is mommy so beautiful?”
“You need to wear a big white hat.” Then he jumped off the bed and opened the suitcase. After searching for a long time, he found a big white sunhat and a pair of sunglasses.
“Uh… Isn’t it too exaggerated?” I looked at the brim cap in front of me and asked weakly.
“How can you Seduce Dad if I don’t do that?” He jumped onto the bed and put the hat on for me.
When I heard this, I was stunned. I didn’t plan to see Edmund. I came back this time just because I was annoyed by Cedric, so I took him back. I planned to perfunctorily calm him down and take him back to Spain later.
Today, I dressed up and went out to see Eugene in the cemetery.
Four years ago, Eugene suddenly passed away. I didn’t attend his funeral. Under Sheila’s arrangement, I left City Y and went abroad.
It’s always my biggest regret that I didn’t send Eugene.
“Okay, that’s perfect. Go, come on, Mommy.” Cedric gave me a “sure win” gesture and watched me leave the room.
The cemetery was quiet.
The quiet area was adorned with lush trees.
It was half past two in the afternoon.
There was almost no one in the cemetery.
With a bunch of flowers in my hands, I walked up the steps and went deep into the cemetery.
I know Eugene likes to be quiet when he is alive. He doesn’t like to attract attention. When I came to him, I found that his last shelter is in the deepest part of the cemetery.
In the black and white photo of the tombstone, it was his young and handsome face. There was a warm smile. Just like the image he has kept in my heart.
I bent down, put the flowers in front of the tombstone, and gently touched the somewhat cold photo with my fingers. The details of getting along with each other four years ago appeared in my mind.
Tears blurred her eyes in an instant.
“It’s been four years, Eugene. You must feel lonely lying here alone.” My voice was choked with sobs. “I’m fine now. The baby in my belly has been born. It’s a boy called Cedric. How I wish you were still alive, so that you can see how naughty he is…”
“Eugene, Cedric asks me for father every day. I don’t know what to do. If you are still alive, maybe you can give me some advice.”
“In fact, sometimes I also think about one thing. Cedric has grown up and he has the right to know his identity. Moreover, I can’t always hide everything about father from him. One day, he will know who father is. Perhaps I was too selfish to prevent him from meeting father. I left with him in the past because I was afraid that Edmund would not believe that the child was his and would put the child in danger He has been born. If Edmund still doesn’t believe it, they can have a paternity test. ”
“But I’m also afraid. What will Edmund react if he knows that the baby is really his? He must hate me very much. He must hate me for cheating him. Will he take away Cedric from me?”
“Eugene, what do you think I should do?”
I talked endlessly about the contradictions and pains in my heart to the tombstone.
Over the years, I have been living alone with my child. I have a lot to say, but no one can say anything.
Back then, after Hannah took me to Spain, she settled us down and became a doctor. Although the two sisters kept in touch, they rarely saw each other in a year.
Therefore, although I have lived a comfortable life these years, I am not relaxed.
Cedric’s illness has always been like a heavy stone pressing on my heart, making me unable to breathe.
came back from the cemetery, it was almost five o’clock in the afternoon at half past four.
The cemetery was in the suburb, a little far from the city, so it took a lot of time on the road.
When I returned to the hospital and walked into the ward, I didn’t see Cedric.
I asked the nursing assistant who was responsible for taking care of Cedric. The nursing assistant told her that she had gone to the bathroom, but he was gone when she came back.
no one saw the little guy.
According to my understanding of my son, I found all the wards on the whole floor.
However, after searching around, i didn’t find him, not even anyone who had seen him.
She couldn’t just disappear like a child.
The disappearance of Cedric immediately alarmed the whole nursing station. The two nurses, who were in charge, were so anxious that their heads were covered with sweat.
The last group went to the hospital to check the surveillance video. When I saw someone come out of the ward with Cedric in his arms, my face turned pale.
As the man got closer and closer to the camera, I saw his face clearly and sweated on his forehead.
Oarlan!!
It’s him! He found me! So the baby was taken away by Edmund!
After I left the hospital, I got on a taxi. I became very nervous at the moment.
In fact, after that night in The Manche Club, I knew that he had changed. He was no longer the old Edmund.
Although it was also because of his change that I had a chance, I still don’t understand what made Edmund change from a cold and noble man to a playboy who has a lot of affairs now.
It didn’t look like him at all.
He had never been so casual with women.
But after thinking about it again, I seemed to have figured it out.
Maybe Edmund has always been such a man. We first met in a nightclub, didn’t we?
He hasn’t changed. It’s just that I haven’t seen through the real him all the time.
