Chapter 1167


    Chapter 1167 Even Nicole and Daisy, who were both dressed to the nines, paled inparison to Ste,


    whose elegancepletely outshone thebined beauty of the other two women.


    Grace and charm flowed out of her body with every gesture she made, making it almost impossible for


    Ben to take his eyes off her.


    How could such a bewitching woman not be a ghost?


    The thoughts in his own head shocked him over and over again. His palms began to sweat, and he did


    not know what to do.

    In the end, it was Henry who spoke up, breaking the long silence in the room.


    “So you‘re not dead after all,” hemented. “Looks like you‘ve been duping us for three full years.” He


    then chuckled under his breath, acting as if he was the only one in the room. “Don‘t mention death in


    front of my children!” Ste red coldly at him and hissed. She took Elias‘ hand, nced at Emma, who


    seemed to be extremely fond of Weston, and sighed.

    “What do I have to do for you to return my daughter, Mr. Ford?”


    “All you need to do is prove that this really is your daughter, and I‘ll dly return her to you. What do you


    say?”

    Ste gritted her teeth so hard that she could hear them grinding against each other. “Stop messing


    around with me!” she snapped. Weston‘s eyes slowly turned gloomy as he stared fixedly at her.


    “All I‘m asking for is proof,” he spoke slowly, word by word. “After all, you can‘t expect me to believe a


    word you say, can you? You‘re the one who hoodwinked me into thinking that you‘re dead all this time.


    To think that you‘d deceive your own husband about something so serious as that, you can‘t me me if


    I can‘t trust you enough to hand over this innocent little girl to you.”


    “You—“Ste‘s expressions altered. Instead of getting angry, though, sheughed as she stared at him


    and asked, “Fine, how would you like me to prove it then?”


    Weston put Emma down on the floor , rubbed her head, and took her hand.


    “We’ll do a DNA test to start,” he said.


    Ste clenched her fists tightly, and her fingers dug deep


    into her flesh that marks were visible. With a pale face, she looked at him and said, “I know what you‘re


    thinking, Weston, but don’t you think that you‘re being ridiculous? Don‘t tell me that you still can‘t let go of


    me after all these years. Are you actually hoping that I‘ve given birth to your children? Have you forgotten


    why I became infertile?”


    Ste uttered those words in an utterly in voice, yet each word hit his raw nerves, again and again,


    causing him unimaginable pain.


    His face changed as he gazed wistfully at the face that he had been dreaming about day and night for


    the past three years.


    “I told you,” he said, “that I don‘t care if we had children or not. I never minded the fact that you‘re


    infertile…”


    “But I did!” she interrupted him. “You didn‘t want children, but I did!”


    She then paused and frowned before impatiently adding, “This is not the time to be talking about these


    things. What exactly do you want?”

    Emma had never seen Ste so furious before. Thinking that it might be because she had done


    something wrong, those tears that had stopped flowing not too long ago started to gush out again. “Stop


    fighting,” she cried, waving her chubby arms,” stop fighting... It‘s aw my fawt... Stop fighting...”


    The sight of her daughter crying pierced straight through Ste‘s heart.


    “Mommy‘s not mad at you,” sheforted the girl.” Don‘t cry, Emma...”


    She wanted to wipe away Emma‘s tears, but stopped and merely red at Weston when she saw that


    Emma was still in his arms.


    Seeing that Emma was crying again, Weston wiped her tears and, without any hesitation, gave her back


    to Ste.


    This move stunned Ste, but before she could react, Emma flew straight into her arms and softly


    sped her hands behind Ste‘s neck before kissing her gently on her cheek.


    “I‘m sowwy, Mommy. I didn‘t mean to run...”


    Ste quickly held her daughter close to her chest and hugged her tight. She closed her eyes and


    breathed in the faint scent of milking from her daughter. Only then did her heartbeat return to its


    steady pace.


    “I‘m just d that you‘re alright, Emma... That‘s all that matters. But you‘re not allowed to run away like


    that ever again, understood ? You will stay exactly where you are until Mommy returns, okay?”


    “From now on, no matter where we go, I‘ll always make sure that you‘re by my side,” she added after a


    pause.


    Emma nodded solemnly. Elias, who was standing by the side, folded his arms as if he was an adult and


    shook his head disapprovingly, saying, “Emma is a naughty girl! A stupid one too!” Emma had always


    been so mischievous, and she was always causing trouble. She liked to bully Elias a lot, too, aside from


    being so dumb. How could she run off like that when she was left alone for just a few minutes? How


    could she possibly help him protect Mommy in the future if she kept on acting in this stupid way?
