Chapter 747

"Can we meet up and talk?¹' Nadia asked on the other end of the call.

I pursed my lips. "I don't think there's anything to talk about between us."

Nadia chuckled on the other end. "You don’t want your son to return to the Lynches, and neither do

I. There's a lot for us to talk about based on this alone."

After a long silence, I said, "Address.” 1

When I arrived at the cafe we agreed to meet, I walked in and saw Nadia sitting by the window. I

walked over.

Compared to the day before, she looked less haggard today. Perhaps it was because she had put

on makeup.

When I sat down, she went straight to the point." Whether you believe it or not, Cecilia's death had

nothing to do with me. I did go and see her that day, but I didn't say anything that would stimulate

her."

I pursed my lips and did not respond. She continued," I know you won't believe me, so let's just talk

about the kid. You've raised him for three years, so I’m sure you don’t want the Lynches to take him

back. It just so happens that I don't want the Lynches to take him back too. Mason’s child must

come out of my womb or all my efforts before this would be for naught."

"Just tell me what you plan to do," I said, a little impatient.

She pursed her lips. "In the kid’s eyes, you're his mother. With the friendship that Mason and Theo

share, they won't turn against each other. I hope you'll make public the relationship between you

and Theo a s husband and wife, as well as ask the hospital to issue a statement of your inability to

conceive. Mason has never fulfilled his duty as a father, and with the passing of the child's biological

mother, the law will let you adopt this child legally."

After a pause, she continued, "But by doing so, you'll not be allowed to have children in the future."

I frowned. "Is this what you came up with?"

"This is the best way to do it, no?" She shrugged in a lackadaisical manner. "Theo is not an ordinary

man who has no money or power. If you do as I say, then there's nothing the Lynches can do about

it."

I suddenly laughed. "Like you said, Theo isn't an ordinary man who has no money or power, so

even if I don’t do so, the Lynches still can’t do anything as long as I refuse to hand Munchkin over to

them."

"Indeed." Nadia narrowed her eyes slightly. "But aren't you worried that you and Theo's reputation

will be jeopardized? And you can only raise that child in a completely unjustifiable way."

I pursed my lips and fell silent.

Judging from Theo's skills and abilities, he could indeed keep Munchkin by my side.

Though if the Lynches made a big deal out of this, public opinion would be biased toward the

Lynches. Those people would accuse Theo and me of snatching another family's child. Some who

were even more vicious would say that we were snatching other people's children because we

could not have one ourselves.

I became more and more irritated at the thought of this. I believed Nadia was here to make me

angry.

I stood up from the chair and said unkindly, "If this is the only thing you can come up with, then I

think there's not much we can talk about anymore.”

Her idea could indeed let Munchkin stay lawfully by m y side, but if Theo's reputation had to be put

on the line, then I would have to disagree.

"Maybe take some time to consider what I said. There's no better way than this.” She stopped me.

I could not subdue my emotions any longer and coldly commanded, "Get lost.”

After leaving the cafe and taking only a few steps, I felt my stomach turn again.

I crouched on the side of the road and threw up, feeling uncomfortably weak.

It seemed like I was getting more and more low-spirited lately. When I got back to the villa, I did not

do anything and sat on the balcony. I took in the cold breeze all day.

I had no idea how long I would continue to sit there had Theo not come home.

He carried me into the bedroom with a sullen expression and wrapped a blanket around me. He

looked slightly angry. "Why do you not cherish your own body?"

I looked at him, feeling tremendously heartbroken. I took the initiative to hold him, burying my head

in his arms. "I feel really sad, Theo."

His flames of anger were suppressed, and he cast a tender gaze at me. "What's wrong?"

I sighed. "I don’t know either, I just feel really sad."

Coming back to Whaldorf City again, I thought my state of mind was different than three years ago. I

thought everything would finally go in the right direction. Yet who would have thought, more troubles

were cropping up than three years ago and I felt extremely annoyed.
