Chapter 425



.

When he forced Tanya to accept Mia, he no longer had the right to criticize her.

Even if he had never let any woman come near him in the last five years!

He suddenly felt frustrated.

Right now, he wanted to know who this man was who had been with Tanya. He wished he could capture him and beat him up.

With this thought, he looked at Tanya.

He suddenly understood how Tanya must have felt when he and Hillary had gotten together back then.

After five years, he was with Tanya again and he was still so sad and jealous, not to mention her then.

That was why he had decided to go abroad, wasn’t it?

Maybe she hadn’t gone abroad simply to pursue her dream of dancing. She had been hurt by him.

When Joel thought about this, his chest hurt even more.

He had been with her through junior high, high school, and college….

At first she had thought the two of them would go from their school uniforms to their wedding dresses, from her black hair to her white hair. I hadn’t expected them to veer off the path halfway through.

When they got back on the same road, he had Mia, and she had another child.

Their love was no longer as perfect as before.

But he didn’t care.

He didn’t even dare to ask Tanya if she had liked that man when she changed her mind halfway, only to like him again now.

He didn’t dare ask, for fear that the answer would displease her.

She just knew that they had to be together, no matter what.

With this in mind, he walked toward Tanya.

Tanya was also stunned. When she saw Joel approaching, her expression became grave and she felt even guiltier. However, just when she thought Joel was going to question her, she hears him say, “Who is that man?”.

Tanya: “?”

She was stunned and looked at Joel in confusion.

Joel sighed. “If you don’t want to say it, then forget it. I’ll do my best not to let it bother me.”

At that moment, he turned his head and didn’t meet Tanya’s eyes. “Where is your son…? You can bring him. I’ll treat him like he’s mine, just like…. as you treat Mia… Even if I can’t be sincere, I’ll still try my best…”

Tanya: “!!!!”

She finally understood what Joel meant and couldn’t help but laugh.

As she smiled, tears welled up in her eyes.

This man, this silly man, did he really think she had another man?

She thought back over the past five years. Although she was alone abroad, she had been associated with many aristocrats because she was a dancer.

She had no shortage of suitors among those people.

But she had never accepted any of them.

At first, she had told herself that she had lost her son and had no right to start a new life. It was a form of punishment.

But only now did she realize that it wasn’t because she didn’t want to look for a man. It was because, with someone in her heart, she could no longer look at anyone else.

Those aristocrats were all very prominent, but she was blinded by Joel and couldn’t see anyone else.

She looked at Joel with reddened eyes.

When Joel saw her like that, it hurt her heart even more.

How had that man hurt her, was it so painful to remember?

He held Tanya’s arm and said to her in pain and anger, “Why did you separate, did he hurt you?”

Tanya shook her head.

“Did he change his mind?”

Tanya kept shaking her head.

Joel was anxious. “Did he have a change of heart? What happened, did he stalk you? Tell me who he is and I’ll kill him.”

Tanya kept shaking her head, but the smile on her face widened.

She said, “No, no. There is no such person.”

Her voice was cracked.

Joel was stunned. “There is no such person? Then your son…”

Tanya’s screams grew even louder. She looked at Joel and knew that she could no longer hide the child’s existence.

However, she didn’t want Joel to grieve with her.

She clenched her fists. “Calm down. Listen to me.”

Joel was extremely anxious, but when he saw Tanya’s tear-stained face, he knew he couldn’t be anxious. He took a deep breath. “Okay, I’ll calm down. Tell me, what’s with that man and the boy?”

Tanya looked at him and lowered her head again. He said slowly, “There is no other man…. It’s you. It’s always been you.”

Joel froze in place.

He looked at Tanya in a daze.

Suddenly a ridiculous thought occurred to him. “If it’s me, then that kid…”

Tanya looked at him and closed her eyes. Big tears rolled down her face again. “The child is yours.”

It was yours…

These three words stunned Joel.

Surprise surged in his heart as he clutched Tanya. “You gave birth to my child-our child?”

At this moment, he was as happy as a child.

He asked anxiously, “Where is the child, where is he?”

When the two of them were together at that time, they had once imagined what would happen if they had a child in the future. It turned out that they really had a child!

But he didn’t expect that while he was crazy with joy, Tanya would still have her eyes closed. Her tears rolled down her face like broken pearls. She did not speak.

Joel’s ecstasy gradually subsided. He looked at Tanya and finally sensed something strange.

They were already together. Why hadn’t Tanya told him they had a child?

Also, when he asked her if she could be Mia’s mother, why did she resist and say nothing?

She pursed her lips and her heart suddenly sank. “That child…”

“…I lost our child.”

Tanya said those words with difficulty as her tears flowed more violently. She opened her eyes and sobbed as she cried, “After giving birth, I lost the child before I could see him clearly. I don’t even know if our child is a girl or a boy.

I’m sorry… I didn’t protect our child well! I feel guilty when I’m with you! Why should I be happy? I don’t even know if my child is alive or dead…”

After her words, Joel suddenly reached out his hand and hugged her.

At that moment, Joel felt his heart ache so much that he could hardly breathe.

What pain Tanya must have suffered all these years!

It was one thing to suffer the pain of looking for her son every day, but to have to see her and Hillary’s daughter after returning to the country.

Especially when she said she wanted Tanya to become Mia’s mother.

Mia’s mother…

Joel suddenly thought of something and looked at Justin.
