Chapter 597 - 596
This news was too shocking for him, so shocking that he felt particularly uncomfortable, with an indescribable feeling.
He always felt that things weren’t that simple!
"Yes!"
Mr. Sterling responded.
"Wyatt."
He didn’t wait for Wyatt to answer, gesturing for Wyatt to come in.
"She is the daughter of Claire Sullivan and me."
After Mr. Sterling finished speaking, a smile appeared on his lips.
When Claire Sullivan got pregnant, he was very, very happy. The two of them huddled together, wondering whether the baby in the belly was a boy or a girl.
Claire Sullivan said either was fine.
He, however, said he wanted a daughter and then would spoil her to the skies.
As a result, all these years he hadn’t fulfilled his responsibility as a father, allowing his daughter to become the way she is now.
"She is not Big Uncle’s daughter."
Wyatt’s eyes reddened. As a grown man, knowing Serena and he were half-siblings made him feel bad enough to cry.
"Correct."
Wyatt explained with a faint smile, "She is not your Big Uncle’s daughter, she is mine."
"Your Big Uncle was afraid my reputation would be damaged, so he claimed her. And she doesn’t accept me as her dad."
"Did you know Claire before you married my mom, or..."
"I never did anything to let your mom down."
This "mom," Mr. Sterling knew who it referred to.
For so many years, he couldn’t love June Kane.
Matters of the heart can’t be forced. Even if it meant giving up the person he loved, even after so many years, he still couldn’t fall for a woman who loved him obsessively.
The path you choose, no one can regret.
"When I was with her, June was just June."
Wyatt listened, becoming more puzzled, "Then why didn’t you marry her?"
According to what his father said, at that time, Claire was pregnant with Serena.
"Did Grandpa and Grandma not agree?"
"Then why did you let her get pregnant?"
Wyatt’s questions came one after another, and even he didn’t notice that his tone had accumulated anger.
"They initially disagreed, but later they agreed."
There was nothing about Claire Sullivan that the elders could criticize!
The most might have been that she didn’t graduate from college.
She was carrying twins, and the old lady felt she was so fertile that she could give birth to seventeen or eighteen for The Sterling Family in the future.
At the time, she jokingly said she was so fertile that she had to give him seventeen or eighteen.
It’s not even ten, not even three.
"Then why was it!"
Wyatt pressed on.
This time Mr. Sterling didn’t answer. He chuckled, "I am pleased to have this son."
All these years would’ve been agonizing without Wyatt by his side.
And he felt great heartache for having Serena.
Bringing her into this world and not taking good care of her, let alone spoiling her to the skies as he had said back then.
"Dad!"
Wyatt didn’t want to hear this; he wanted the truth.
"Wyatt, some things can’t go your way."
"Heaven likes to give people multiple-choice questions, and you can only choose one."
After Mr. Sterling finished speaking, he pinched a cigarette and began to smoke it fiercely. Within moments, the smoke obscured Wyatt’s view of him.
Wyatt knew that asking further wouldn’t yield any answers, so he simply turned and left.
Mr. Sterling heard Wyatt’s quick footsteps as he left, heard the heavy door slam, and knew he was angry.
Wyatt didn’t know that Serena and he were fraternal twins born of the same mother, nor did he know that Claire Sullivan was his biological mother. If he found out in the future, he would probably be even more upset.
Mr. Sterling felt distressed, afraid that one day even his son would want nothing to do with him.
