Daddy, You Got The Wrong Mommy

Chapter 214: Children Can Grow Up Without a Father’s Love

Leia Quinn stared straight at Craig Landers, as if trying to discern whether he was telling the truth or lying.

Craig Landers’ gaze no longer avoided hers, allowing her to scrutinize him.

Because at this moment, he had let go of everything from the past and wanted to start a new relationship with her.

Craig Landers tightened his grip on Leia Quinn’s hand.

"Cindy, I know you don’t trust me, and I don’t want to explain much. I just want to say that time will prove everything. Please give me a chance to love you properly."

The man’s tone was gentle, his beautiful eyes overflowing with tenderness, irresistibly alluring.

Leia Quinn’s heart skipped a beat inadvertently.

She wanted to push him away, wanted to say no.

Yet it seemed all the strength had been drained from her body, leaving her unable to utter a single word.

Leia Quinn moved her lips, took a moment to steady her mind, forcefully withdrew her hand, and quickly opened the antiseptic solution.

"Come closer, I’ll apply the medicine for you."

She’s applying medicine for him!

This was practically a sign of not rejecting him!

Craig Landers smiled, leaned in slightly, and watched Leia Quinn.

Leia Quinn felt uncomfortable under his gaze.

Deliberately lowering her voice, she said, "Close your eyes."

"Okay, I’ll listen to my girlfriend."

Craig Landers obediently closed his eyes.

Leia Quinn looked at the man’s face, even prettier than a woman’s, and her lips curled into a silent smile.

Blue Sky Apartments.

Elara Don was holding a hairdryer, preparing to enter the bedroom.

The door was pulled open, and Damon Hawke quickly slipped into the bedroom.

Elara Don frowned and said indifferently, "Mr. Hawke, I need to rest. The door is over there; you can see yourself out."

Ignoring the woman’s detached attitude, Damon Hawke grabbed her hand and pulled her to sit on a bean bag chair.

Then he took the hairdryer from her hand and plugged it in.

Silent, he stood behind her as the hairdryer hummed, starting to dry her hair.

Elara Don pursed her lips, feeling the gentle caress on her head, and suppressed the fluttering in her heart.

He doesn’t really love her!

He’s being nice to her now just because she is the mother of his two children.

And also because she looks like Samantha.

She couldn’t fall into his tender trap again.

Damon Hawke silently dried Elara Don’s hair.

Then he placed the hairdryer aside.

"Thank you, Mr. Hawke, for humbling yourself to dry my hair. Can you leave now?"

Elara Don rose, walked to the door, and opened it.

Damon Hawke’s thin lips pursed as he strode forward and grabbed her hand.

"Elly, let’s talk."

"There’s nothing to talk about between you and me."

Elara Don turned her head away, refusing to look at him.

Damon Hawke frowned, "Elly, do you hate me that much? Hate me so much that you don’t even want to say a word to me?"

Elara Don pursed her lips, saying nothing.

Damon Hawke continued, "Yes, I lied to you, but that was because you resisted my identity as the president of Hawke Corporation. That’s why I wanted to approach you with another identity. I did this only because I wanted to be with you."

Hearing this, Elara Don looked at him.

"Damon Hawke, have you ever thought that by doing this, in the end, I’m the one who gets hurt the most? Do you think by approaching me with a civilian identity, making me fall in love with you, you can erase your identity as the president of Hawke Corporation? The disparity between our statuses is huge. If I hadn’t given birth to your two children, we wouldn’t have any ties, would we?"

He’s just a selfish man.

He thought that once she loved him, he could confess to her.

But by then, the Hawthorne’s opposition, society’s stigma, the way others looked at her—had he considered any of these for her?

She didn’t want a love with ulterior motives.

"Elly, it’s my oversight; I apologize."

Damon Hawke sighed softly and pulled her into his embrace.

"But now, you’ve given birth to two children for me. Can we let go of the past and be together for the sake of the children?"

For the children!

See, he wants to be with her just for the children.

Elara Don felt like her heart was being squeezed tightly by a thin line, painfully tight.

She pushed him away, "Sorry, Mr. Hawke, I gave birth to the children. I just want to be with them; I didn’t consider anything else."

It’s always the children, not him!

Damon Hawke didn’t realize his words had made Elara Don’s sensitive thoughts race.

His intention was to back down, hoping Elara Don would be with him for the sake of the children.

There was a hint of humble pleading in it.

But the difference in male and female thinking made Elara Don misunderstand him.

Damon Hawke was extremely frustrated.

"Elly, are you determined to split our family in two? Have you thought about the children’s mental and physical health?"

Hearing this, Elara Don’s fingers curled.

"Charlie and Bea are both very smart kids. Bea didn’t turn out bad without fatherly love, but you did; Charlie was by your side all along and still developed autism. In conclusion, children can be without paternal love but not without maternal love. They only need me!"

Damon Hawke: "..."

This woman, a heap of illogical reasoning.

He was at a loss for words!

Damon Hawke laughed angrily.

Just as he was about to speak, Elara Don’s phone rang.

Elara Don glanced at the nightstand and went over to pick up the phone.

The display showed Benjamin Harper’s incoming call.

Elara Don pursed her lips and answered the call.

"Evan, what’s up?"

"Elly, are you okay? I’m so sorry about the news."

Benjamin Harper asked with concern.

Elara Don smiled faintly, "I’m fine, don’t worry about it."

"Are you really okay? Elly, your children..."

"It’s a long story, Evan..."

Before Elara Don could finish her sentence, the phone was snatched away.

"Benjamin Harper, Elly has me to take care of her, you don’t need to worry."

After saying that, Damon Hawke directly hung up the phone.

Elara Don glared at him, "Damon Hawke, don’t you have manners? What right do you have to hang up my call?"

"Just because I’m your man!"

Damon Hawke tossed the phone aside, grabbed her shoulders, and kissed her directly.

Dead woman, unwilling to marry him because she found someone else?

He’s probably been too much of a gentleman with her!

"Mm, Damon Hawke, let go of me."

"I won’t let go! Elara Don, from beginning to end, you are my woman, don’t even think of escaping my grasp!"

"Damon Hawke, you bastard!"

"Yes, today I’ll show you how much of a bastard I am!"

"..."

Damon Hawke, regardless of protest, tossed Elara onto the bed.

Clothing was shed, the light was dimmed, and the sounds of the woman’s curses filled the space.

Gradually transforming the atmosphere...

On the other end.

Benjamin Harper looked at the blank screen, slightly clenching the phone.

Damon Hawke was currently with Elara Don.

Then the children by Elara Don’s side were also Damon Hawke’s?

Others said Elara Don stole Damon Hawke’s son, but he did not believe it.

Because Elara Don didn’t seem like that scheming kind of woman.

So, probably another woman was the one lying.

Therefore, Elara Don was likely Damon Hawke’s son’s biological mother!

With this thought, Benjamin Harper closed his eyes and sighed.

Though not having interacted with her much, why did he suddenly have different feelings for her?

Probably it’s just a longing for a woman?

Benjamin Harper shook his head and prepared to return to his room.

Passing by the study, he saw the light leaking out.

It seemed Hunter Miles was inside.

Benjamin Harper knocked on the door and pushed it open.
