Therefore…this outfit was hers to begin with, was it not? Yannie bit her lip and accepted the DNA paternity test report from Bethan. The report stated that Riley was really her daughter.
She and Thomas were Riley’s parents! Her daughter was not dead! She was still alive in the hospital!
She felt her blood rushing throughout her body at these thoughts as she turned to look at Bethan excitedly.
“Bethan, am I… Am I dreaming? I’m not dreaming, am I?”
Riley, her Riley! From the first time she saw Riley, she thought Riley was endearing and adorable. She truly liked Riley a lot to the extent that she promised Bethan she would be Riley’s godmother.
Over the past month, she would always visit Riley right after she felt wronged during the shooting or after a press conference. Riley’s smile was enough to brighten her day. In the past, Yannie thought it was because Riley was too cute and she liked Riley too much to have such an effect. As it turned out…
She looked at the report excitedly. She finally understood why she fell in love with Riley the first time she saw the infant and why her mood would alleviate after seeing Riley. It was all because Riley was her daughter. It was the miracle of mother–and–daughter bonding!
“You’re not dreaming.”
Bethan smiled lightly and extended her hand out to grab Yannie’s hands. “Riley is your daughter. I only found out about it a few days ago.”
She was not like Brettley who liked to keep secrets. If she knew about the relationship between Riley and Yannie, she would have waited to tell her.
Yannie nodded profusely, her tears threatening to spill from her eyes due to the sheer joy she felt.
“Thank you, Bethan. Thank you so much! I know that if it weren’t for you Mr. Morrison, Riley would be… She’d be…”
She could not say the rest of the words.
Bethan sighed and embraced Yannie lightly.
“You don’t have to thank me. Moreover…”
She closed her eyes and sighed. “It’s only right for us to take good care of Riley. If my daughter is sick or tortured out in the world… I hope someone could take care of her, too.”
Her heart broke when she thought of it.
Yannie had found her Riley, and with that, the duo and Thomas were reunited as a family. What about her and Brettley’s daughter? She had been separated from her child for more than three months. Was she doing fine? Was she…
Meanwhile, in Dark Sky Bar… Thomas was sitting on the bar and downed one glass after another. His arrival was so abruptthat the owner did not have the time to clear everyone out of the bar.
Soon, people started to recognize him.
Word spread around, and many started to come to take a look at the superstar drinking in the bar.
For a while, the hall on the first floor was flooded with people.
Some were admiring his charm, some were taking his photos, while others plucked their courage and talked to him, surrounding him.
Nonetheless, Thomas could not be bothered to care about them.
He leaned on the bar and continued to drink.
All he could see was how Yannie got out of the car cold-bloodedly and how she fought for Brettley.
Suddenly, he felt so lonely, so pitiful, and helpless, like no one in the world understood him.
When he was young, his aunt was the apple of his eye.
Just when he started to learn around the age of four, his aunt was there with him allthe time.
Although his aunt was demented, she had been nothing but kind to him.
She gave him candy every day, played with him, and even taught him things.
She always told him that she had a son too, and her son was one year older than him.
She had never seen his son before, but she trusted her son to look just as cute as Thomas was.
To others, his aunt was a lunatic.
To Thomas, his aunt was the best playmate and friend he had.
She was never fierce with him nor had she ever harmed him.
On his fourth birthday, he had prepared the cake and everything else.
He waited for his aunt to come back to celebrate his birthday with him.
However, what came back was the bad news of his aunt passing away.
It must have been the bond only twins had, but after his aunt passed away, hismother’s physical state deteriorated every day.
When his mother found out about his father’s affair, she died in anger.
After a week of his mother’s burial, his father brought home his mistress and his mistress’ child.
From then onward, he became a child that no one cared about.
If his grFo}!-?-elgfather did not leave a will stating the inheritance would only take effect after Thomas was 18 years old, his father and mistress could have thrown him outof the house.
All these years, he was raised by servants while living away from his own house.
He did not have any family or friends.
He was always alone.
That was until Malcolm contacted him and told him he had a daughter, as well as Yanniein Merchant City, the girl who radiated life regardless of how rough her life was.
He thought his life would change because of Riley and Yannie.
As it turned out…
Yannie could not stop defending Brettley for his aunt’s death.
To her, he was never better than Bethan and Brettley, who had been kind and gracious to her.
Thomas could not stop drinking.
Even as his vision became blurry, he smiled bitterly.
In the end, he was still alone without anyone who understood him, cared for him, or worried about him.
He was still the same; all alone by himself and did not deserve anyone to care for him.
“What’s going on down there?”
Brettley asked.
He was in a business meeting in a private room on the second floor when he heard thecommotion happening downstairs.
Lucas went out to take a look before he returned, reporting, “Sir, people are all everywhere on the first floor.
Celebrities these days tend to get out of control. They knew they would cause commotions by showing up in public,yet they still wanted to go out without any disguise.
“Mr.Morrison, let’s just ignore it,” said Nathan Allen as he raised his glass.
He was the one Brettley had a business appointment with.
“I need to thank you and Ms.Bethan for taking care of Theo all this while. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t know he’s no longer bothering Ms.Bethan and was after a doctor who’s about to get married. This time, his mother and I are here to bring him back.”
Brettley curled up his lips and looked at Nathan.
“Mr.Allen, I invited you here to talk business with you, not because I want you to interfere with Theo and Dr.Liddell’s relationship.”
After that, he paused for a while before continuing, “Furthermore…there could still be chances available for Theo and Dr.Liddell.”
Yes, Rachel was engaged to Caleb.
Theo did not know about Caleb’s sexual orientation, but Brettley knew about it very well.
Caleb’s ex-boyfriend had been causing Rachel trouble ever since he knew Caleb was going to marry Rachel,too.
Rachel fought back calmly and was neither sad nor upset.
She did not even tell Caleb about this and had him manage his ex-boyfriend, either.
