Mr. Ford Is Jealous

Chapter 129

After all, it was normal for a man at his age to have been married before.

She never had intentions of developing any relationship with him before, so she hadn’t thought about it.

He tapped his finger gently on the steering wheel. “And I have a child-a son. He is in his teens. I have his custody, but he is with my ex-wife most of the time because I am too busy with my work. Besides, I am a man, so I am not as meticulous as she is when taking care of a child. I want to change this situation and have more time with my child. Also, I hope to . establish a new family…”

She knew what he meant. “So you want me to get along with your son?”

“This is only part of the reason.” He did not deny. “I like you because your personality makes you very good at getting along with children. No matter whether or not you two can get along, I can tell from your tolerance of me that you are very patient with children. Moreover, we are similar in many ways. At my age, I am no longer interested in all those insubstantial things. Do you understand what I mean?”

She was a little moved by his words. If he was simply helping her because he liked her, it would be a burden to her.

But now that he also wanted something from her, it would become a fair deal. Ever since she experienced the unequal relationship with Weston, she had been particularly afraid of owing anyone anything. At that time, her marriage with Weston was formed in a very unequal situation in terms of finance when Roger was sick and urgently needed money for surgery. No matter how Weston wronged her, she could only commit to the marriage in silence and never dared to ask for anything because she owed him a lot financially. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Even when he treated her in such a way because of Guinevere, she did not dare to say anything until the end.

Until she lost the only child in this life. She took a deep breath, and her eyes were flickering. After a while, she said, “There is one thing I must make clear in advance: Mr. Hall, I am unable to conceive a child.” As she said that, Justin looked at her, somewhat surprised. The surprise in his eyes was undisguised, and it made her feel a little uneasy. She pinched her palm and forced a smile on her face. “I have a Rh-negative blood type. People with this blood type are likely to have only one child in a lifetime, and my first child is… gone.”

She sounded casual, but there was a storm brewing in her heart. He seemed to be able to hear the pain in her heart. Regardless, she remained smiling. “The doctor said that it is almost impossible to get a second child in my situation, so I basically cannot have another child in this life.” After a moment of consternation, he came back to his senses. He pondered for a long time. Then, he looked at her decisively. “I have briefed you about my circumstances, and I don’t mind not having children. If you are willing, you can treat my child as yours.”
