Chapter 151
Ethan’s Vengeance of Love
Keith was convinced that there was a mistake with the results of the paternity test. So, when he gazed
at the good-looking and lovable appearance of the young boy in front of him, he hardened his heart and
prepared his rejection speech.
Apollo added an explanation. âMy surname is Woland, like my motherâs.â
Woland? Like his mother?
Keith forcefully swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
After he carefully observed the face of the young boy in front of him, he discovered that the shape of
the boyâs face, nose, and mouth seemed rather similar to the person who appeared in his mind at this
moment.
An explosion seemed to erupt in his mind, and a sudden possibility occurred to him.
Donât tell me⦠Could this boyâs mother be Alice Woland? But, how could Alice have a child of this age?
Alice had always been engaged to Bruce. In fact, she personally announced that she would marry
Bruce seven years ago.
It stood to reason that she would not bear the child of any other man.
However, the marriage between Alice and Bruce had fallen apart several days ago. That only served to
prove that the child could not belong to Bruce.
Keith suddenly recalled the night seven years ago. Alice had seemed rather unusual when she bumped
into him that night.
When he discovered that something was wrong with her, he couldnât help being worried about her and
quickly rushed to search for her after dealing with those two people on her behalf. Unfortunately, he
had failed to locate her that night.
She seemed to have been behaving strangely because she had been drugged. Could she have slept
with somebody that night and ended up pregnant?
Judging by the timing, the childâs age coincided with the incident.
He abruptly recalled that Ethan had begun searching for somebody after that night. Could it be? Could
it be?
Keithâs silence clearly left Apollo feeling rather displeased. âDo you need another paternity test to
confirm the results?â
Although Apollo was the one who made the offer, he would leave immediately if the man in front of him
requested another paternity test. If this person suspected him, then this person was not a father who
was worthy of his recognition.
The truth was that Keith could barely wrap his head around the situation. His brain was still in shock at
the moment. When he heard Apolloâs question, he instinctively answered without giving it further
thought. âNo. Thereâs no need for that.â
After his automatic response, he seemed stunned by his own answer. Nevertheless, he chuckled softly
when he recovered from his surprise.
Such a good-looking and lovable child had taken the initiative to approach him. Who could resist such a
child?
Who could refuse such a child? Honestly, who could be so hard-hearted as to refuse such a child?
Iâll acknowledge him as my son! I have to! I will! Even if he turns out to be Ethanâs son, I will
acknowledge him as my child! For the sake of such a lovable child, I will even risk my life to oppose
Ethan!
Apolloâs expression softened slightly when he heard Keithâs response.
Even though Keith already had a guess in mind, he couldnât help asking for confirmation. âWho is your
mother?â
He wanted confirmation in case he was mistaken. It would be bad if this childâs biological parents
appeared suddenly and accused him of abducting their child.
Apollo did not seem offended by Keithâs question. Alice had not known the identity of the man from
back then, so there was a great likelihood that the man from back then had not known her identity
either.
Besides, Apollo performed a background check on Keith and the Rowland Family before he came here.
If Keith had known Aliceâs identity seven years ago, he would have approached her a long time ago.
Therefore, Keithâs question only further solidified Apolloâs confidence regarding this matter!
âAlice Woland.â Apollo had already taken the initiative to approach Keith, so there was no reason for
him to conceal such an important matter.
Keith secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This child really does belong to Alice! Itâs such a pity that heâs
not mine! Itâs such a pity that heâs not mine! Itâs such a pity that heâs not mine! Even if I am not the
father, I will definitely acknowledge him as my child. The child has already approached me. How can I
deny him? How can I refuse him? Would I still be human if I refused the child in this situation? I cannot
reject him!
Keith was just about to accept and acknowledge this lovable and bewitching child as his son.
Unexpectedly, Apollo was the first to speak. âI can acknowledge you as my father, and I can follow you
home to meet your family. However, my motherâs identity will never be revealed to the public.â
âWhy?â Keith was dumbfounded. His last proposal had not gone smoothly, but he planned to attempt
courting Alice once more.
Now that his son had approached him, it was only natural to take the mother as his wife.
Apollo glanced sideways at Keith. âI might be your son, but my mother is not your wife.â
Keithâs heart clenched at those words. Those words are really⦠Even my son has acknowledged me.
Why canât the mother become my wife?
âDo you not like Daddy⦠and Mommy to be together?â Although Keith shamelessly addressed himself
as âDaddyâ, he couldnât help feeling a slight twinge of guilt.
âThatâs not up to me. I can only decide for myself. Likewise, my motherâs affairs can only be decided by
herself.â Apolloâs answer was blunt but firm.
He was the one who wanted to acknowledge his biological father, but he would not allow his mother to
be affected by his decision.
Keith studied the seven-year-old boy in front of him with a vague sense of amazement. How was this
boy raised? Isnât he way too intelligent for his age? In addition, he not only reacts quickly but also holds
firm to his principles! I canât believe how sensible he is! He knows how to protect his mother despite his
young age. No matter how I look at him, he is so lovable.
With such a well-behaved and lovely child acknowledging him as a father, he was so overjoyed that he
would even wake up smiling from his dreams.
âOkay. I promise you.â Keith agreed readily. Forget one condition, even if there were ten or a hundred
conditions, he would agree to them all for the sake of such a well-behaved son.
As for the matter regarding his wife⦠That was indeed something he should handle on his own.
The little guy was right. If he wanted to court and eventually marry Alice, then he had to make her fall in
love with him. Her consent should not come from other reasons.
âDid you come alone? Does your mother know that youâre here?â After Keith calmed down slightly, he
finally noticed a more realistic issue.
âYes, I came alone. My mother knows about this matter, but she is currently on a business trip.â
Although the person in front of him was his blood-related father, Apollo didnât really know the other
party. That was why he kept his motherâs affairs a secret.
The answer took Keith aback. Alice is on a business trip? Does that mean the child is home alone?
Be that as it may, the child had invited him out for a meeting and even came here alone. That proved
that the child was far more mature than other seven-year-olds. He could also tell that the child was very
capable of handling various matters.
Nevertheless, he did not want Apollo to return home alone when Alice was not home.
A gleam flickered in his eyes, then he glanced at Apollo with an expectant expression. âDo you want to
come home with me today?â
Grandpa has always yearned for a great-grandson. If I bring one home for him, wonât he be ecstatic? It
will also stop Grandpa from nagging him about having grandchildren in the future.
Apollo considered the suggestion seriously before he finally nodded in agreement. âSure.â
Since he had decided to acknowledge his biological father, then he should get to know his relatives.
He often heard from his mother that James Rowland was a good man, so he wanted to meet this
person too. After all, this person was his biological grandfather.
âAlright, son. Letâs go home together.â Keith did not expect an upright child like Apollo to agree to his
request so readily, but he grinned from ear to ear from happiness after receiving the green light from
the child.
