Reading Julcy Gossip in Her Mind
Chapter 328 Incapable Of Having Children Finished
The world has always been harsh toward women. Not every woman possessed the inner strength to remain unfazed by rumors and gossip. That was precisely why the Deleon family had gone to great lengths to keep things under wraps. They did not want their daughter to be the subject of criticism and gossip, nor did they want outsiders to bother them and say that they had no one to carry on their lineage.
Ines was naturally sensitive about the matter. Even if she could fend off those with malicious intent, the well-meaning individuals who tried to offer advice would still inadvertently cause her pain, especially if the number of people aware of the situation increased. Hence, the best course of action was to keep it a secret forever.
Unexpectedly, driven by her selfish desires, Yvonne wanted to expose Ines' secret without considering the time or place. On top of that, it was completely unrelated to the current situation. It was utterly despicable.
Almost at the same time, Alexander realized what Yvonne was about to say. However, he was not as quick as Isabella's system, so he immediately shot Aiden a glance.
Aiden's face instantly turned ashen as realization also daw
on him.
Although Isabella reacted swiftly, she could only manage to stall for a moment às she was at a loss for an excuse to explain her sudden interruption.
After an awkward pause that lasted two seconds, she had no choice but to throw Alexander under the bus.
"You stepped on my foot," she said, glancing awkwardly at him.
He replied, "Sorry. I was too engrossed in listening to everything."
Everyone around them was speechless.
It seems that Gossip Queen is quite fragile. A mere step on her foot had her reacting as though she had suffered a terrible shock. Focus, snap out of it. Where were we? Is Yvonne about to reveal something again? At that moment, Yvonne also returned to her senses and immediately called out, "Aiden..."
Oh, no! What should I do? Isabella had interrupted once but without figuring out how to handle the situation, and it seemed too late to ask Alexander for advice.
However, she suddenly heard him say softly, "Don't worry. Calm down."
He remained steadfast in his principle that one had to protect one's own wife. Besides, we've already bought Aiden a few seconds. If he can't handle it, then there's nothing more we can do.
Fortunately, Aiden did not disappoint.
Before Yvonne could reveal what she deemed to be the truth, she heard Aiden slowly say, "Indeed. You deceived me. Previously, I thought you were carrying my father's child, my younger sibling. That's why I had some patience with you. Did my care and concern lead you to misunderstand? How unfortunate. I have no feelings for you. They were purely for my younger sibling. Do you know why?" Everyone was taken aback by the sudden shift in the conversation, including Yvonne.

Chapter 328 Incapable Of Having Children
Finished
that I wouldn't have children. In fact, I had a vasectomy several years ago. I felt a bit guilty about it initially. However, when I heard you were pregnant, I decided to be a little more caring toward you. Oh, by the way, this indirectly proves it, doesn't it? It couldn't have been me that night. I couldn't possibly have gotten you pregnant because I'm simply incapable of doing so."
His blunt remarks left everyone present dumbstruck.
They no longer cared about the abrupt shift in the conversation. It was unthinkable that Aiden, a descendant of the Burke family, would make such a decision that would send his ancestors turning in their graves.
Not to mention that the distribution of the Burke family's wealth was tied to the number of children one had effectively ruled out the possibility of one choosing to have a childless marriage.
However, considering the fact that he dared to utter that revelation on such a big occasion, they thought that it had to be the truth and did not harbor any doubts.
They just found it rather amusing that not too long ago, Yvonne had been claiming adamantly that Aiden was the father of her child. Who would've thought that he was incapable of having children?
D*mn, that's impressive, Aiden. Are you trying to cut Yvonne ompletely with that statement? Since he can't have children anymore, who cares if Ines can or can't? You've truly pulled the rug out from under her. Meanwhile, Caesar, Gloria, and Ines were all staring at Aiden in shock.
They knew of Aiden's decision to remain childless, and although they had convinced Ines that it was Aiden's idea, they were aware that Aiden was doing it for her. What they did not know was that Aiden had gone ahead with surgery without their knowledge. Although a vasectomy could be reversed, the firm determination behind that decision moved the Deleons deeply.
