Chapter 308 "Remi, I'm sorry. I won't ask anymore. If you don't want to talk about it, then we can leave it all behind." Remington's eyelashes fluttered slightly as he took Lizetta's hand, planting a couple of soft kisses on her knuckles.

His expression had settled down a bit, and he wrapped his arm around Lizetto's waist, his lips barely parting as he began to speak "Quinn and Evelina were never an item. It was at a party where Quinn accidentally got drugged by a rival, and Evelina just happened to be there. That night, Evelina was forced into a situation she didn't choose, and somehow, she ended up pregnant. Evelina didn't want to keep the baby initially, but the HawthGroup faced sfinancial troubles. In exchange for her agreement to keep the child, I invested in the Hawthorne Group and provided Evelina with resources to boost her career in the entertainment Industry" Because of all this, Remington felt a sense of guilt towards Evelina.

After all, being forced to carry and give birth to the child of an assailant was not something any woman would find joy Moreover the child would grow up fatherless.

Lizetta was stunned, having not expected the story to unfold like this.

No wonder she always felt Evelina lacked genuine maternal affection towards her unborn child.

If she truly loved the baby, why would she behave so recklessly, even to the point of pushing Lizetta towards the pool once? "Barbara and Martin don't know about the child?" "Martin knows. Barbara's already in the late stages of lung cancer She was already not doing well, and then she had to face the grief of losing her son. She couldn't take any more bad news. Evelina had a risky pregnancy at one point, almost miscarried, so Martin and i decided to keep it from Barbara. We were worried that if Evelina couldn't keep the baby, it would just be another blow to her, possibly one she couldn't recover from." Remington's voice trailed off, laden with worry Evelina's baby was tied to Quinn's death, and even more so to Martin's unethical decision to keep Quinn's death a secret for the sake of business Barbara couldn't afford any more surprises because of this child And Quinn, who had lived honorably, would have his memory tamished by the scandalous circumstances surrounding Evelina's child.

With so much at stake, revealing the child's paternity would unravel too many secrets.

Lizetta hadn't realized Barbara was in the late stages of lung cancer, recalling how frail and aged she appeared last tthey met, even needing a wheelchair "So that's why you went along with your grandmother's wishes to have Evelina undergo amniocentesis. You were worried the child might not be Quinn's because Evelina had an affair." Now Lizetta understood, but she felt Remington could have shared this with her privately, trusting she wouldn't spread the word.

She couldn't shake off the feeling that Remington was still keeping something from her, a slight unease settling in her heart As she pondered what else might be off, Remington squeezed her hand, interrupting her thoughts.

"Evelina's relationships and love life don't concem me, but he couldn't harm the baby. Once Evelina safely delivers the baby, it will be directly taken in by the West, family. And it won't be public knowledge that Evelina is the mother, Instead, we'll say the baby was left by Quinn's girlfriend from abroad. So, you don't need to worry about any future entanglements between Evelina and the child. After she gives birth and receives what she wants in return, she'll move on and live a normal life, having nothing to do with the child anymore."

Remington then gently stroked Lizetta's head, "I promised Martin to keep the child's origin a secret which is why I've kept quiet. But with ΕΠ.

someone getting so insanely jealous, I was afraid I might end up losing both my wife and my child if I didn't speak up"
