Renata intended to exercise her newfound authority to coerce her into a miserable marriage with a divorced elderly man.
Her malevolent intentions were unmistakable and impossible to ignore.
âMy mother doesnât want to get married.
I have a father!â Sheldon suddenly burst out, his voice clear and defiant.
Wilton, stunned, turned to Sheldon.
âWho is your father?â he asked.
Just then, Lyndon pushed the door open and entered the room.
Sheldonâs face lit up, and he hurried over to Lyndon, wrapping his arms around Lyndonâs leg.
âDaddy, youâre here!â
Lyndon rubbed Sheldonâs head and scanned the room, pausing on Tilda before turning to greet Wilton first.
âMr.
Larson.
â
Wiltonâs eyes widened in disbelief as he struggled to process Sheldonâs words.
âWait, Lyndon, is Sheldon really your son?â he asked, his voice tinged with shock.
Lyndon raised an eyebrow, about to reply, when Ivy interjected, her voice tinged with worry, âDad, how could Lyndon be Sheldonâs father? If that were true, why would Tilda keep it a secret?â
She shot Sheldon a stern look and snapped, âYou naughty boy, shh!â
As Elma shifted her gaze between Lyndon and Sheldon, she sighed, knowing that Lyndon was indeed
Sheldonâs biological father.
She wrestled with the urge to spill the truth, but a glance at Tilda, sitting in tranquil silence, stayed her tongue, quelling the storm of her thoughts.
Elma recognized her role as a servant and decided to respect Tildaâs independence in making decisions.
âIâm not lying.
Mr.
Fernandez already promised to be my dad,â Sheldon insisted, looking directly into Lyndonâs eyes.
âDad, Tildaâs my mom, and youâre my dad.
We will become a happy family,â he declared with conviction, his voice unwavering.
Lyndon glanced down at Sheldon, not comprehending the situation.
Meanwhile, Tilda stood up and approached Lyndon slowly.
âLyndon, does your proposal still stand?â
She referred to him by his first name?
She just mentioned his proposal?
Lyndon was taken aback, studying Tildaâs composed demeanor as he squinted in thought.
His proposal was for her to marry him.
After they got married, he wouldnât intrude on her life or touch her.
If she ever found her true love, he would divorce her.
Tilda brought this up at the moment.
Did this mean she was willing to marry him?
