Chapter 429
Sweet Subterfuge
Bethany spoke up hastily. âThe person who pushed me is Aster, the boy from my class! Heâs very naughty! He always bullies me!â
Kevan narrowed his eyes imperceptibly and asked drily, âReally?â He sounded uninterested in the topic.
in the Ruby gritted her teeth and secretly pinched herself, making tears well up in her eyes immediately. âYes!
He leads the other kids in class to ostracize Bethany, so she has no friends at kindergarten, I spoke to his mother once, but she was so unreasonable! She said that bring ostracized is Bethanyâs own fault and has nothing to do with her son âIf thatâs the case, then transfer her somewhere else.â Kevan gave Ruby a solution effortlessly. Rubyâs lips moved as if she had a lot more to say, but she ended up saying okay, suppressing all her dissatisfaction. Her most urgent mission wasnât to make Kevan strike out at Larissa and her son, but for him to accept her and Bethany Kevan invited them into the Eving room. As Bethany was about to climb onto the sola, he stopped her.
âYouâ He said to Ruby. âLet her sit on your lap.â Ruby carried Bethany onto her lap reluctantly. Although Bethany was only five years old, she already weighed over 150 pounds, which was double the weight of a normal child. Ruby couldnât move under her weight and her legs felt numb and sore in less than two minutes. However, she could not lose her temper in front of Kevan, so she continued tolerating it.
Kevan fetched them a glass of water each and sat down beside them. âSince youâre here today, then Iâll make things clear,â he said.
His grim expression made Ruby feel uncertain.
âMake what clear?â she asked.
âI lost all my memories,â said Kevan. âBut my mother told me that we are not married. Youâre not my wife.â
Rubyâs heart sank, but she forced hersell to keep a smile on her face. âBefore you got into the accident, we were already planning to get married. The way we spent time together back then was really no different from a married couple. Besides, we also had Bethany Kevan cut her off calmly. âBut the fact is that we arenât married. I donât care how we used to be, but I do not have any feelings for you now. In other words, I donât love you, and there is no way I can continue a relationship with you as your husband. I canât accept a stranger suddenly invading my personal space and affecting my life. I know Iâm being very selfish and Iâm hurting you a great dealâ¦â
He fished a credit card out of his pocket and said. âThereâs five million dollars in this card. Treat it as my compensation to you. As for this kid He glanced at Bethany and said, âIf you donât mind, I want to do a DNA test. It she really is my daughter, then I give her parental Support.â
âKevan, what do you mean by that?â Rubyâs eyes were wide and gleaming with tears, but she kept them from falling âI donât think what I just said is that hard to understand.â Kevan remained expressionless, completely unaffected by her tears. âOf course, If you canât understand, then I can repeat mysel âThereâs no need Ruby snatched the credit card from him, snapped it in hall, and flung the pieces to the floor. She put Bethany down and stood up, saying furiously, âI never got together with you for your money! Kevan, youâre insulting me with this five milion. Youâve also insubed your past selt I donât want your damn money! I guess I was blind for fating in love with a fuckboy like you and wasting my precious youth! This is my karma! Just forget it if you refuse to acknowledge our child! I just raise her myself! it never let her suffer with you! My daughter and I arenât good enough for the Rogers family anyway!â
