The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 563

The child’s gaze was innocent and naive. Ethan felt a jolt in his heart when he lowered his head to meet the child’s eyes. With a glance, it reminded him of the painful memories from his childhood. Ethan’s complexion was even more unpleasant than expected, and his demeanor became icy.

Evelyn gave a signal to Marta. Understanding the look, Marta stepped forward and picked up the child. “Mr. Arnold Jr., I’ll take you to play with toys. Mr. Arnold has important matters to discuss.”

The child cried and reached out to Ethan, saying, “I want Daddy to hold me.”

Ethan gave the child an icy glance with a cold demeanor. Then, he walked away and sat down on a nearby sofa.

Donna maintained a smile and never shifted her gaze away from him. The child cried, wanting to come down. Then, he immediately ran over to Donna. She reached out and placed the child on her lap. The child clung to her neck with both hands, tearfully expressing his sorrow, “Mommy, why doesn’t Daddy like me? Did I do something wrong? You said that Daddy will like me as long as I’m obedient. However, Daddy refused to hold me.”

His teardrops suddenly fell; his crying was indeed heart-wrenching. Donna wiped away the tears from the child’s face and said, “Daddy doesn’t dislike you, Robin. Be good, okay? Play with Aunt Marta for a little while. We’ll come play with you once we finish talking.”

“Okay.” The child nodded sensibly. As Marta led the child away, he turned back to give a pitiful look to Ethan, who was sitting on the sofa with a cold and distant expression.

Ethan’s gaze remained cold as he stared at Donna. His voice was as chilly as ever when he stated with unwavering determination, “I won’t acknowledge this child.” Donna remained calm and composed, silently waiting for Evelyn to speak.

Evelyn never expected Ethan to say such disrespectful words, especially the refusal to acknowledge his own child. Her subtle expression revealed her displeasure. However, she suppressed her inner thoughts and told Donna, ” We’ve conducted a paternity test for the child. Indeed, he is a member of the Arnold family.

“Tell us your intentions. If you’re trying to marry into the Arnold family using this child, I won’t agree. The Arnold family is willing to offer you three million dollars and property in the city center in exchange for custody of the child. These should be enough for you to start anew and marry into a decent family.”

Donna smiled and said, “I was pregnant for nine months and raised him myself for five years. Are these trivial things supposed to buy me off? Or do you think the worth of the Arnold family heir is so low? If I remember correctly, the value Mrs. Arnold received was far greater than just these. I distinctly remember that it was you who asked me to leave. I agreed primarily because of this child. Considering your personality, I’m afraid I couldn’t stay in Ventropolis if I wanted to. It’s all thanks to your decision, Mrs. Arnold Sr.

“In fact, I don’t want much. I want Ethan to marry me and give Robin a complete family. If I marry into the Arnold family, I ask for nothing. However, I want all of the Arnold family’s assets go to Robin in the future.

“Ethan, this is why I left. I genuinely wanted to be with you back then. We wouldn’t have endured such a long separation if it weren’t for her. Your grandmother always looked down on my background because of my family, because my father was a gambler. I didn’t tell you I was pregnant back then, but I had my reasons. If your grandmother had known, she would definitely not have allowed us to keep our child.

“Do you still remember what you told me in the past? You said when we have children in the future, you will provide them with a complete family and won’t let them experience a broken family like yours. You promised to give them the best of everything. Now that we have a child, you’re changing your promise.

“Do all your words and actions measure up to what you’ve promised me? Because of another woman, you sent me to prison with a single word, and I almost died in a mental hospital. Dare to ask yourself, do you owe me anything? Now that Madelyn can’t conceive, I can provide you with a complete family. Forget about the past. Isn’t it good for us to be together as a family?”

Donna said a lot. Indeed, it was enough to stir up turmoil in Ethan’s heart. He remained silent, his fingers caressing the engagement ring on his middle finger. After a long pause, he spoke, 11 Ms. Jolie, you’re quite the strategist. Unfortunately, your bargaining chips don’t pose a threat to me. The position of Mrs. Arnold will never be yours. However, I will agree to your other requests.

“All that happened in the past did indeed occur and exist. I can’t deny that. Compared to before. I cherish everything I have now even more. Madelyn is my wife, one I fought tooth and nail to reclaim. The one who should be out of the game won’t be her. Whether she can bear children or not, Madelyn will be my only wife. As for the issue of the Arnold family’s heir… Grandma, I haven’t died yet!”
