Chapter 1053

Hailey didn’t wait for Yeager’s response, pressing on with her questions

“So, the next question. You let your mom pressure me because you think I’m some powerless orphan

who’s an easy target?”

Yeager didn’t see it that way. In his mind his mom was still his mom, and no matter how much he liked

a girl, she couldn’t compare with his own mother

“You heard it on the recording. I already scolded her for it.”

“Indeed.”

Hailey smiled

“You always explain things after they happen. Like last time, when your friend was badmouthing me

behind my back, but you said you were distracted and didn’t hear”

Yeager frowned, wanting to explain, but Hailey cut him off.

“The first time I met your parents, you let your mother pressure me. That shows that in your mind, your

perception of me is the same as your mother’s.”

Like Janice, thinking she was impure, without a background, uneducated, divorced, not good enough

for him.

“I told you about these issues before we got together. You said you didn’t mind, why the contradiction?”

Her disappointment was written all over her face, making Yeager feel a twinge of pain.

“Hailey, I really don’t mind. It’s just because she’s my mom…”

Realizing his mistake. Yeager dropped his gaze.

“I was wrong I’m sorry”

Finally, he apologized, but Hailey wasn’t going to forgive him like before.

“Actually, I don’t care what you think I’m asking you this to tell you…”

Taking a deep breath, Hailey paused, her eyes welling up with tears

“No one has ever loved me, nobody, not a single person. When you came along and told me that you

had a crush on me in high school, I was happy, touched, because someone in this world actually liked

me I cherish this late–found affection, so even when I found out about your little schemes, I put up with

them. I always believed that nobody is perfect, that even you would have some flaws. But that’s okay,

as long as you truly like me. I kept consoling myself, but I realized you didn’t like me that much…”

Hailey unlocked her phone, brought up a photo of Bernice and a child, and laid it in front of Yeager.

“When you confessed your feelings to me, you said that you had a crush on me since high school and

never liked anyone else. You’ve been busy studying medicine and didn’t have time for a girlfriend. You

portrayed yourself as pure and innocent, but can you tell me, what’s up with this mother named

Bernice?”

When Yeager saw the picture of him and Bernice in an affectionate embrace, a flicker of uncertainty

crossed his eyes. He was about to explain when a photo of Bernice holding a child auto–played. His

pupils dilated in shock.

“What’s the deal with this kid?”

Looking at his expression, Hailey couldn’t tell if he was genuinely clueless or just pretending

“This is your child”

“That’s impossible!”

Yeager suddenly became agitated, snatching the phone from Hailey’s hand to scrutinize the photos.

It wasn’t until he saw the text confirming the child was his that he came to a realization.

“There’s no way I told her to abort the child. How could she give birth to the child without letting me

know? That’s impossible”

His muttering sounded like he was mocking himself to Hailey

“If you don’t believe it, call your mother and ask.”

That would also verify if the message from the unknown number was real.

Yeager seemed flustered, quickly pulling out his own phone to call Janice

Hailey sat in silence, observing Yeager’s reactions that ranged from shock and disbelief, to anger, and

finally resignation as he slumped into his chair

Once he ended the call, Yeager lifted his swollen eyes to look at Hailey, whose expression unreadable.

Suddenly, she seemed distant, beyond his reach

Refusing to accept this harsh reality, he rose from his seat, walked over to Hailey and squatted down,

holding her hands tightly to his face.

“Hailey, I’m sorry I did have a brief relationship with Bernice while I was abroad, but we amicably parted

ways after realizing we weren’t right for each other I had absolutely no idea she got pregnant and had a

child after our break–up. You have to believe me I only discovered this now.”

Hailey pulled back her hand, looking calmly at Yeager
