Chapter 424 - 402: The Girl is Very Clean
Watching her avoid him, He Ye struggled to keep the secret that’s been weighing on him.He couldn’t bear the thought of being called "uncle" by his child for the rest of his life, and even more so, he couldn’t stand the woman he loved not being his partner.
"Jiajia, all this time, you’ve never mentioned the child’s father."
Recalling that blurry night, Jiajia felt it was a nightmare but also brought her a lovely baby.
Jiajia decided to confess to him: "I don’t know who the child’s father is either. I was drunk and had a one-night stand with a man. A dirty woman like me..."
"Stop talking!" He Ye urgently interrupted her, every word of self-deprecation hurting him deeply, for it was he who had wronged her, "The truly dirty person is me."
Jiajia looked at him in confusion, thinking he was referring to his messy past love life. Unexpectedly, he spoke earnestly and seriously: "Listen carefully to what I’m about to say. After I’ve finished, you can make your decision. No matter what you decide, I will respect you."
"Three years ago, I had a one-night stand with a drunk girl. Back then, I was playful and took the unconscious girl home. She was pure, it was her first time. I thought she would be just like any other girl, but I didn’t expect her to get pregnant and decide to keep the child."
Hearing his confession, Jiajia was completely stunned: "That... that person was you?"
After He Ye finished speaking, he finally felt a bit of relief, nodding as he admitted: "I was the one who wronged you. I admit that at first, I stayed by your side out of guilt. Initially, I even hoped you wouldn’t keep the child. But now, I am truly grateful for your decision. I know my mistakes are unforgivable, but I genuinely want to live with you and the child, and I truly want to love you."
Jiajia, however, couldn’t help but step back, clearly fearful of his words.
Her retreat deeply pained He Ye, but he didn’t dare reach out to stop her.
He could only watch her fearfully escape from his sight, the thing he feared most had finally happened.
At the moment he decided to tell her the truth, he had hoped for her forgiveness, even though he knew how unlikely that was. But he no longer wanted to stay by her and the child’s side in such unclear conditions, so he chose to tell her the truth.
It seemed he gambled and lost, losing his position by her and the child’s side, and might become someone she resents...
Standing on the wide shore, he closed his eyes, letting the cold sea wind blow over him, making him feel a slight chill.
Jiajia returned to her room, and in her panic, she couldn’t help but go to the window, looking at him standing on the shore from a distance.
Her feelings for him became increasingly conflicted; she couldn’t say she hated him, nor could she say she loved him. Right now, she couldn’t make any decisions and needed time to sort out her thoughts.
He Ye stood alone for a long time until the beach was empty, then he turned and went back to the villa. He looked towards the window and then slowly went upstairs. His steps paused by the door of their mother and child’s room, but he eventually left.
Perhaps starting tomorrow, she wouldn’t let him near the child anymore. She would start avoiding and escaping him, maybe even hating him.
But all these consequences were his own doing. If he had admitted it when she was pregnant, would the outcome have been different?
