Secret Wealthy Marriage
Chapter 244: I’m Not Leaving (1)

Although it was true, she had never realized until now that Bryan Hawkins was so conceited.

A feeling of contempt rose in her heart at this moment. Carolline Ruiz felt that this was wrong, but she couldn’t control herself. She not only despised him but also herself.

Especially just now, when she saw him for the first time in five years and was so frightened that she didn’t even want her child anymore, she turned and ran away.

How could she still have no backbone in front of him after five years?

No, she must take her son back. Her son is hers, even if he provided the seed, the boy was still hers.

As for secret crushes or open crushes, Carolline chose to ignore them all.

She took several deep breaths before finally fixing her gaze on Bryan Hawkins’ face. She had indeed lifted her head just now, but she didn’t dare to look into his eyes. At this thought, Carolline wanted to slap herself.

"Mr. Hawkins, how come you’re here?" If she remembered correctly, he should be in either W Country or Y Country. How did he suddenly appear in front of Axel? And it seemed that the two had already communicated just now.

"What did you call me?" Mr. Hawkins? Bryan was quite surprised that after not seeing him for five years, Carolline had grown so bold. She not only didn’t stammer but also didn’t blush or pant in front of him. She really did have backbone.

She had deceived him for so long and even made him obediently present her with the divorce papers. Then she lived a quiet life with their son for five years. Now that he was back, she could still remain so calm.

He had underestimated her just now.

"..." Carolline believed that he had heard her clearly. She didn’t want to repeat herself, so her next move was to turn around and walk back. Her son was still in the kindergarten. If she waited any longer, the security guard would be off work.

"Axel is my son. He just called me Dad." Bryan suddenly grabbed her hand tightly, not knowing where she wanted to run off to this time.

"Hm." Carolline responded indifferently. She never intended to hide Axel from him and not let him know his father. That’s why Axel had Hawkins as his last name. As for Bryan Hawkins, Carolline knew that Axel was paying attention to him. What Axel wanted to do was his business and had nothing to do with her.

"What does hm mean?" Did she think that one hm was enough? Bryan didn’t let go of her hand and continued to ask. Now, after five years of settling down, the present Carolline was completely unreadable to him.

"The meaning of hm is that if you’re free in the future, you can visit him. I never hid anything from him. When he knew what it meant to have a father, he also knew who his father was."

In other words, the person who didn’t know was always him, not the mother and son.

So, he didn’t need to emphasize to her that Axel just called him Dad. Axel was a very kind child. Over the years, she never allowed anyone around her to maliciously slander him in front of Axel. So, she didn’t find it hard to accept that Axel recognized him. On the contrary, she was quite relieved that Bryan Hawkins didn’t wait until Axel was an adult to come and see him.

At this moment, Bryan Hawkins’ eyes narrowed. He suddenly agreed with what his son had said earlier. He was indeed a fool, and he had been a fool five years ago.

What kind of person was Carolline? Her feelings for him were so deep. How could she possibly carry the child of another man? What kind of evil spell had he been under at that time to believe so firmly that she and Andy Aguirre had something to do with each other?
