“Hey, wasn’t it an emergency?” Johnny glanced at Jake, who was still asleep. “Let me ask you, are you sure Rosalind had a daughter? Not a son?”
“… It was a daughter. I’ve seen her.”
“Are you sure? Could it be that she looks so good you mistook her for a daughter?”
Lion didn’t understand why he was asking this, but he did know that Rosalind had a daughter.
“Impossible. Do you think I’m stupid?”
“Oh… then it really isn’t.”
Johnny just wanted to confirm.
He had thought that if Rosalind’s child looked so much like Ulric, Lion would have told him already! Lion knew very well about his good relationship with Ulric and had seen Ulric before.
“What are you talking about?” Hearing Rosalind’s name, Lion was now wide awake.
He worried that he might say something wrong that would make Ulric or Johnny realize something.
“Nothing much, just suddenly discovered that Ulric might have an illegitimate child.”
“…” Johnny spoke casually, but Lion was shocked! “How is that possible? Mr. Walters has always been known for his integrity. In the business world, there have never been any scandals about him. Where would an illegitimate child come from out of nowhere?”
“If I hadn’t seen the kid myself, I would have thought the same as you! After all, I know Ulric very well! But-after seeing the child with my own eyes, I never doubted for a moment that he is Ulric’s child.” What are the odds of someone looking so much like another without being related by blood?
The world must have glitched!
“You saw the child?”
“Yes! He’s right next to me.”
“A boy?”
Johnny nodded, “Definitely a boy. When I bathed him last night, I saw it clearly! So that’s why I asked if you’re sure Rosalind had a daughter and not a son?”
“… It was a daughter, and she doesn’t look like Ulric.”
“Alright then! Maybe I’m overthinking.”
Lion smiled, feeling somewhat relieved.
Looking at it this way, Ulric didn’t love Rosalind that much after all! If he could have an illegitimate child in private, it seems he was just pretending to be deeply in love.
“You shouldn’t be surprised. He’s in a high position; there are too many women wanting to get into his bed. He can refuse once or twice, but can he always have the willpower? Once it happens, there’s always a chance of pregnancy! If the woman gets pregnant, it’s like hitting the jackpot; she definitely wouldn’t abort.”
So that’s how an illegitimate child comes about?
“What you say makes sense, but I’m still surprised he would do such things with other women…” Johnny pouted. “Looks like so-called love is all lies! I’ll just enjoy life as it comes; adult games are too complicated for me!”
“What’s there to be surprised about? Aren’t you a man?”
“I am! But Ulric really loves Rosalind.”
“A man’s body and heart are separate. They’ve been divorced for years; having some desires is normal! This also means your brother can gradually move on from the past. Isn’t that good news for you?”
Johnny thought for a moment and nodded. “It is good news! Suddenly having a son must be confusing for him now.”
“Confusing? Not necessarily. Does he not know who he slept with?”
