Chapter 104 Do I Know You?
Claudia no longer pressured her and handed her a business card, saying, âThis is my contact
information. Perhaps one day you will still need me.â
Looking at the business card, the caregiver hesitated for a moment, but in the end, they gritted their
teeth and accepted it.
âYou go.â Claudia looked at her. âTake care.â
The caregiverâs face stiffened, and in the end, they quickly left.
After she left, Claudia also left. This is the Lamontâs manor, and she didnât want to stay here for long.
Not long after leaving the villa, Claudia saw a child squatting in a corner, playing with ants. >
Familiar little brat.
Seeing him, Claudia didnât even want to acknowledge him. She walked past as if she hadnât seen him,
but the little kid had already spotted her and ran over excitedly, saying, âIs it you?â
He glanced at the Lamontâs manor behind her.
However, Claudia completely ignored him. Abel angrily rushed over and said, âStop, didnât you see
me?â
Claudia glanced at him lightly and asked, âDo we know each other?â
âOh⦠so you want to pretend you donât know me!â Abel ran over and grabbed her sleeve. âIt doesnât
matter how you pretend, itâs useless.
Even if you donât know me, I know you.â
When Claudia was proud, she brushed away his hand and quickly stepped back. Abel, in a moment of
carelessness, ended up sitting on the ground.
Looking at Claudiaâs indifferent eyes, Abelâs mouth twitched and he suddenly burst into tears, saying,
âYou bully, youâre mean to me!â
âAbel!â At the critical moment, a figure wearing a black cotton coat rushed over and helped him up,
looking angrily toward Claudia. When he saw Claudia, his face froze. âClaudia, what are you doing
here?â
When Claudia saw Cicely, she was also a little surprised.
She looked at Abel, thinking about Rosalieâs words.
She said that she and Edmondâs child were being taken care of by Cicely, is this annoying kid?
Upon closer inspection of Abel, itâs no wonder she felt familiar at first glance. Those eyebrows and
eyes, arenât they just like Rosalieâs? And those thin lips and facial structure, they are simply identical to
Edmondâs.
Rosalie and Edmond had a five-year-old child, which was indeed true.
Claudia sneered and looked at Cicely, saying, âYou let me spare Rosalie before, was it for this child?â
Cicely nodded with a bitter smile, âI couldnât bear to see the child without a mother, especially since he
is a descendant of the Lamont family.â
âHeâ¦â Claudia took a long time to regain her trembling voice, âIs he really Edmond and Rosalieâs
child?â
She wanted to confirm once again, to see if Edmond was truly beyond redemption.
However, Cicelyâs face stiffened for a moment, but quickly masked her distress and nodded reluctantly
under her gaze.
âClaudia, Iâm sorry.â
Sorry, sorry for what?
Iâm sorry for drugging her to have a relationship with Edmond, or Iâm sorry for her siding with Rosalie?
Originally, I thought that only Edmond would help Rosalie, but I didnât expect that even her mother-in-
law would stand on Rosalieâs side now.
When my mother-in-law lost her memory, she didnât get angry even if we hurt her, because at that time
she didnât have a complete memory.
What about now?
The Lamont family was completely unworthy of her attachment.
She glanced at Abel and couldnât say any more vicious words.
Just the thought that he was Edmond and Rosalieâs child made her say one more sentence, as if she
was deliberately trying to make things difficult.
She lowered her head and glanced at her belly, a quick glance, then she raised her head again, her
eyes already clear.
âYou donât have to apologize to me. Rosalie has already come out, but next time, she wonât be so
lucky.â She looked at Abel, who was peeking out from behind Cicely, and sneered, âShe committed a
crime and ended up in jail, which is indeed cruel to her child. But when someone has a child and still
chooses to engage in illegal activities,
SELY
shouldnât the person who needs to reflect the most be herself?â
âLosing a loved one is difficult for anyoneâ¦â
âLosing my grandmother, I was also in pain!â
Cicely listened to her words and froze.
She turned her face away in shame, unable to look at Claudiaâs expression.
She knew her demands were unreasonable, but she had no choice. If she didnât make any effort, Abel
would definitely blame her when he grew up.
She was the childâs grandmother, and it was her duty.
As for the childâs identity, Abel must have been Edmondâs child, otherwise this child would have been
an undocumented immigrant.
She didnât have much time left to live. In the past, she wasnât afraid of death, but now, she wants to
settle the matter with Abel before dying.
Looking at Claudia, her gaze slowly shifted to Claudiaâs belly.
She noticed that Claudiaâs clothes tended to be loose-fitting, and she was also wearing flat shoes when
she saw her at the hospital last time.
The speculation in my mind suddenly rushed into my brain.
âClaudia, last time I saw you at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics for a check-upâ¦â she
paused, âare you pregnant?â
It has been just over a month since the last incident, if there is⦠then this would be Edmondâs child.
Thinking of this, Cicely also became a little excited.
As life is coming to an end, it would be without regrets if I could see my grandson before I die.
Claudia looked at her without saying a word. She covered her stomach and smiled gently, âYes, I am
pregnant.â
While they were chatting, Edmond was rushing over from outside.
He has already finished dealing with the recent matter, and now he just wants to hurry up and get to
Claudiaâs side.
He knew Claudia wouldnât stay for long, and he also knew what Rosalie would say.
But no matter what it was, he had to explain it to Claudia.
He didnât want her to misunderstand him.
Just as he was walking in briskly, he happened to see Claudia and his own mother standing and
talking.
He was about to step forward when Claudiaâs words lightly brushed past his ears.
âI had a child.â
Edmond was taken aback, and then his heart started pounding.
Child, does she have children now?
Although that day made him feel very embarrassed, he would often dream about it later on. This
indicates that deep down, he didnât actually reject this matter as much as he thought, but he still
couldnât get over it in terms of his pride.
Unexpectedly, Claudia had a child just that one time.
The calmness in his heart was instantly shattered by overwhelming joy. He thought that there was
nothing in this world that could stir his emotions anymore, but now he realized he was wrong.
He had a child!
Edmondâs nose felt a bit sour, and he wished he could immediately hug her.
Just as he was about to rush forward, Claudiaâs indifferent voice sounded, âThe childâs father is not
Edmond.â
Edmondâs feet froze, unable to retract the surprise on his face.
âThe child is over two months old,â Claudiaâs voice sounded like it came from hell, chilling him to the
bone.
Two monthsâ¦
The last time they had a relationship was less than two months ago.
The child was indeed not his.
Edmondâs fingers clenched tightly, his nails were short, but they pierced his palm, causing him to sweat
profusely.
Sure enough, she had an extramarital affair.
The child was not his.
Ha.
At that moment, he didnât even know who to hate.
Claudia didnât know that Edmond stood behind her, coldly fabricating lies.
The childâs matter would eventually be exposed, but this child cannot
be admitted into the Lamont family.
There was a stepmother like Rosalie, and there was a mischievous older brother. She didnât want her
own child to live in such a family.
The child in the belly could be anyoneâs child, but it could never be the Lamont familyâs child.
Upon hearing her say that the child was not Edmondâs, Cicely was first shocked, then anger surged
within her. She had just planned to question her why she had cheated, but before she could ask, she
saw her own son standing nearby, and his expression suddenly changed.
âEdmond, when did you come?â
Edmond, Edmond?
Claudia was taken aback, slowly turned around, and there stood a man whose aura was as cold as if
he had come out of hell. His eyes were icy, and even a touch felt like falling into an ice cellar.
His face was devoid of color, except for those deep eyes, which were terrifyingly red. Despite the faint
sunlight, he seemed like a black hole, burying himself in the darkness.
