Semua Bab The Affair Baby : Bab 81 - Bab 90

As soon as Akira left, Ophelia dialed up a broker her father often used, explained the whole situation to him and asked him to find the person behind that listing.She tapped her foot restlessly on the floor as she waited for his call back. If this was true, this would be the one way to save her marriage. Blaine would be too indebted to her for saving his family’s stake in the company to ever bring up the divorce topic again.And Ariel would be gone for good. She looked at her phone, wanting to edit the message and save it for later, but she could not find it,She blinked, swiping through the screen. She was sure she had written that message out, or had she not? Maybe she will write it again later.Fate was just on her side then. Ariel could not die until she had handed everything over.She was locked up in her room, restless till a couple of hours later when she got a call back from the broker. From what he told her, she realized that although he did not get the real identity of

Blaine stared at the woman. Was she really asking about his daughter now? “Did you have a doctor check her out?” Ariel asked. Blaine glanced at Sullivan beside them, but the man was quiet, his gaze averted. Blaine knew it was his guilt keeping his mouth shut.He frowned now, turning his eyes back to Ariel. She probably did not know what her husband did, and Sullivan was trying to play dead so he did not attract attention to himself or stir any suspicions.His frown deepened as he stared at the couple’s body language, the chasm that seemed to separate them.Or did she know after all? Could that be the reason for their imminent divorce?“She is fine.” He finally responded, as they stopped in front of one of the trucks, and a manager rushed towards them with helmets. Blaine smiled sadly. Ophelia had not asked about their daughter’s welfare even once. The child’s own mother. She had not asked how the child was doing or even the details of the accident.“Are you OK?” He heard Sulliv

Ariel walked closer to him, and stared up into his eyes. “Don’t you dare act like you care,” she said as a tear slid down her face. “I don’t know why you choose to keep bringing this up, reminding me of what I want to forget.” She said, her eyes angry.“What are you talking about Ariel?” His voice came out in a soft, sad plea as his heart began to beat fast. He had gotten used to the idea of having a son. He had even made a mental image of his son, and since that day he caught Ophelia on the phone, he had thought non-stop about what it would feel like to finally meet his son.Who he would look like, and if it were both of them, what features would he have from whom?“Your son died while you were probably just across the hall, sulking that your grandfather was forcing your hand to marry me.”“What?”“And you dare talk about safety. My child would be alive if I had the good sense to take him to Sullivan earlier. That devil like you called him would have protected our son with his lif

Blaine arrived at the Tucker mansion, hurried ahead to the unit Ariel had stayed in, and walked to the bedroom. His new bedroom.As he closed the door behind him, he froze and felt a weird chill, travel up his bones. Both Ariel and Kan claimed she lost the baby in this house. Was it in this room then? Is this why he had always felt a strong pull to this place, and why he moved in here of all the other places he could have gone to after separating from Ophelia?He stared around the room, thinking of where he would look first. But what was he even hoping to find? It had been almost two years. And the Tucker household staff took their jobs seriously. They must have cleaned off every evidence of the event that night.But why had no one reported anything? Or had they done so and not just to him? He went into the closet and began to work through it regardless.He carefully scanned every shelf and drawer, but found nothing even though he was unsure what exactly it was he was looking f

Heidi Tucker's eyes widened like she had just seen a ghost.Even though Blaine had not doubted the housekeeper’s words, it still made him back away, unsteady on his feet to confirm the truth like this.What had he done?“How could you?” He yelled, suddenly filled to bursting with rage. “You are my mother!”“Don’t you dare yell at me.” His mother returned, fire in her eyes. “I am your mother, that’s why I did what any mother would have done.”“What?”“You did not like the girl. You hated that you were being forced to marry her and preferred Turner's granddaughter.”Blaine felt a stab in his chest at those words. She was not wrong. He had been consumed by his obsession with Ophelia to see anything at that time. It was an obsession, he was only realizing now, not love as he believed.But he would have done the right thing regardless, and he said as much. “I would have married Ariel regardless, and cared for my son.”“There’s nothing you could have done. That room was a literal crime sc
