Jonathan’s eyes were full of shock when he heard his mother’s words.
He could not even want to believe it.
*We just got divorced for half a year. How could she find someone else so quickly?” he thought.
Heartbroken, he looked at Yennefer. “Is what my mom said true, Yenny?”
“It’s none of your business.”
They have not related to each other anymore, and Yennefer refused to explain anything.
chose to
“Does that mean it’s true?” Jonathan’s face was full of sadness and heartache. Then, he continued, “Since you become someone’s stepmother, why couldn’t you accept me having a child with another woman back then? Can you come back to me, Yenny? As long as you’re back, my child will be yours.”
“Jonathan!” Yennefer did not expect Jonathan to be so shameless. “We are divorced. What you do has nothing to do with me. Do not disgust me anymore. Now that you have a child, live your life properly.”
After saying that, she left quickly.
Yennefer felt that the air was more turbid with Jonathan present.
“How can you say such a thing, you jerk? You’re lucky Winnie didn’t hear it. Otherwise, it would’ve been the end of you.” Samantha spoke disdainfully as she viciously poked Jonathan’s forehead. “She just gave birth to a son for you. How dare you say such a thing? I can’t stand it. Spend the rest of your days with Winnie properly, and don’t think about anything else.” Samantha could not be bothered about Winnie. After all, Winnie was uncultured. Jonathan was out of her league. Samantha only cared about her grandson.
“Jonathan makes me so furious sometimes. Why must it be Yennefer? What’s so good about her?” Samantha thought.
Jonathan said nothing as he kept staring in the direction Yennefer had gone.
“Let’s go back to Winnie’s ward to accompany her. Remember that don’t keep that gloomy look on your face, and don’t let Winnie know you met Yennefer just now.”
“Enough. I know what to do,” Jonathan replied.
Then, Samantha dragged Jonathan back to the ward.
They pushed open the ward door and carelessly threw a few caring words before heading toward the crib.
Although Jonathan had no feelings for Winnie, he thought about her birthing a son for him and walked up to her. He pulled
out a stool and sat next to her.
Samantha picked up her grandson and kept staring at him, unwilling to put him down.
She grew more attached to him the more she looked at him.
Suddenly, Yennefer’s words came to her mind. “Since you’re taking care of your grandson now, are you sure he’s your real grandson?”
Upon thinking of that, doubt started to grow in Samantha’s heart.
She carefully observed Jonathan and Winnie, then gazed back at the child.
Only then did she realize that the child had monolids.
Meanwhile, Jonathan and Winnie both had double eyelids.
Samantha suddenly realized that she was overthinking.
“I’m going crazy. This child looks exactly like Jonathan. How could I think about nonsense? I shouldn’t let Yennefer affect me, she thought.
Moreover, Winnie was always in the Zimmerman residence and had never been out. It was impossible for that to happen. With that, Samantha stopped her nonsensical thoughts.
“Yennefer is just jealous. That’s why she deliberately said those things. She wants to drive a wedge between Winnie and me. Yes, that must be it, Samantha pondered.
Silence fell in the ward as no one spoke a word.
After a while, a melodious ringtone rang.
Jonathan took his phone out and saw that it was from the company. He stood up and walked to the window to answer the call.
Chapter 123
After answering the call, he walked to Winnie and said, “I need to sign an urgent document in the company, Winnie.”
Winnie naturally wanted Jonathan to stay with her, but she had to pretend to be considerate for the sake of her future.
She did not mind enduring the present as long as she could obtain Jonathan’s recognition.
Thus, she smiled and said, “Go ahead, Jonathan. Samantha is here to take care of me. Don’t worry.”
Jonathan nodded and patted Winnie on the forehead. “Then, I’ll be leaving. I’ll come back to accompany you after I’m done.”
If he wanted to break up with her, he could not ruin their relationship then.
After all, he wanted to part ways with her on good terms.
After he had left, Samantha walked to Winnie with the child in her arms. Samantha said, “Jonathan has you in his heart, Winnie. Don’t think about anything else in the future.
A smile appeared on Winnie’s pale face. “I know, Samantha.”
Next, Samantha took care of Winnie carefully and also made many nutritious meals for the latter.
After Winnie had fallen asleep, Samantha left the ward and went shopping.
A suspicious person behind her snuck into the ward as soon as she left.
The sound of the door opening woke Winnie up. She thought Jonathan had returned, so she opened her eyes.
When she saw the man, her face turned pale with fear.
Her heart pounded wildly.
If anyone saw him, it would be over for her.
“Why are you here again? Leave now.” Winnie nervously chased the man away.
The man pretended not to hear her as he walked toward the crib. He bent down and lightly caressed the baby’s face.
He remarked, “He looks exactly like me when I was a child.”
Upon seeing the man ignore her, Winnie became more panicked. “I told you to leave quickly. If anyone sees you, everything will be over! Something almost happened yesterday, and it’s all because of you!”
the
“Winnie, anyone can recognize that this is my son with one look, and you still refuse to admit it.” The man picked up child and was delighted. He continued, “Winnie, I know I’m not as rich as Jonathan, but my heart loves you. Can you come back to me for our child? I promise I will be good to you and the child forever.”
“The child is mine and Jonathan’s. Get out of here right now!” Winnie responded.
“No. He’s my son.” The man was certain that the child was his son.
Winnie was panicking. “I said he’s not! Don’t bother me anymore. You and I are over.”
“If Jonathan sees this man, it’d be over for me,” she thought.
“Since you insist that he’s not my son, can you let me do a paternity test, Winnie?”
Upon hearing that, Winnie’s face turned pale as blood drained from her face.
Her body almost trembled.
If he did the paternity test, all of her efforts would be in vain.
She took a deep breath to calm herself and spoke. “Will you only be happy when you destroy everything I’ve gotten with my hard work. Finnick?”
Samantha had just gone to buy something and would be back soon.
“You know I love you very much, Winnie. How could I destroy you?”
At that moment, the ward door was pushed open.
It was Samantha who had entered, and she froze when she saw the man.
She looked at Winnie and asked, “Who is he?”
