Now Ronan couldn’t bear it anymore. He suddenly flew into a rage, his eyes glaring like copper bells. “Elijah, don’t push me too far. Let me tell you, I’m not someone you can mess with easily.”
Elijah raised an eyebrow. “Are you saying I’m easy to mess with?”
Ronan knew Elijah wasn’t easy to mess with. He had suffered a lot in his hands. And he had never won.
“You took my child, creating an irreconcilable feud. I will do whatever it takes to settle the score with you.” Ronan said, his face turning red with anger. Spittle flew from his mouth.
Elijah remained calm. “This is also what I wanted to say to you.”
Ronan almost lost his footing. “What… What are you saying? What do you mean?”
“After all this time, you still don’t get it?” Elijah’s patience started to wane. “If you still can’t remember, I can have your son figure it out for you.”
“What?… You’re threatening me?” Ronan swallowed hard. He vaguely understood.
Elijah must have known it.
But how could he possibly know?!
“What do you mean?” Ronan still refused to admit it.
Elijah couldn’t be bothered with him anymore.
“You’re still playing dumb. Your son will have a hard time because of it.”
Ronan was now caught between a rock and a hard place. If he didn’t admit it, Elijah wouldn’t release his son. If he admitted it, it would mean admitting that he had stolen Elijah’s child. Even if he returned the child to Elijah in the end, Elijah would surely not let it go. Based on this guy’s personality, he would definitely seek revenge.
Ronan slumped onto the sofa. He couldn’t understand.
“How did you find out?” he asked.
“Is it necessary to ask that question now?” Elijah responded straightforwardly. “Bring the child to me.”
Ronan was torn apart. But Elijah threatened him with his own flesh and blood, leaving him with no choice.
“Let me see my son first,” Ronan proposed a condition.
Elijah flatly refused. “Impossible.”
“… I thought I had covered my tracks perfectly. How come I still ended up in your hands?” He was unwilling.
Why did everything have to turn out like this in the end?
“Stop babbling and hand over the child,” Evan couldn’t stand it anymore, his impatience evident.
Ronan sighed. “The child was born prematurely. I took him out and placed him in an incubator. He hasn’t come out yet. If you want to take your child away, you can only come with me. But I also want to see my child. Otherwise, I won’t say a word. Yes, you took my child, but don’t forget, your child is also in my hands.”
Freya was in the room, listening to the conversation outside clearly. She glanced at the baby in her arms and opened the door. Ronan saw her and furrowed his brows. “You’re here too.”
Freya’s expression was blank, she didn’t speak, just gave him a cold look. Ronan knew that Freya hated him. He also hated her.
“In the end, we’re not even friends.” Said Ronan. After saying that, he took the lead and walked out. When he reached the door, he looked back at Freya. “Don’t harm my child.”
Freya coldly replied, “I won’t hold a child responsible for the mistakes you made.”
Ronan immediately disagreed. “The mistakes I made?”
“Freya, weren’t you the one who betrayed me first?” Ronan’s face twisted in anger. “You forced me into this situation. Otherwise, why would I end up like this?”
Elijah saw Ronan getting agitated and held onto Freya’s hand, urging her to stop talking. Provoking Ronan would only lead to him going all out and causing harm to their child! Freya also understood Elijah’s intention and didn’t argue with Ronan anymore.
But Ronan refused to give up. “Why aren’t you saying anything? How come you also know that you’re at fault?”
Ronan raised his head defiantly. “Since you know, apologize to me first.”
Evan couldn’t take it anymore. “Ronan, are you dreaming? Apologize to you? Do you think you’re qualified?”
