Chapter 1844


    ric''s face was a mask of frosty seriousness as he nced at r. The little boy, though adorable in appearance, seemed to shrink in on himself, his timidity and skittishness painting a picture of someone struggling with deep-seated fears.


    Compared to the vibrant and cheerfully vivacious Helena and Julian, it was likeparing night and day.


    Georgia was clearly pushing the Falconer family''s buttons with precision!


    Sure enough, upon hearing this, Angelina shot ric a look filled with both self-reproach and annoyance. Concerned about frightening the child, she softened her tone and chided, "ric, this is all on you. You''ve been an absent father, and you need to make amends for theck of love you''ve shown."


    ric''s face darkened immediately, his anger boiling over as he retorted, “This is all Georgia''s doing! First off, I never asked her to have the child! If I had known she was pregnant, I would have never allowed it to happen! And secondly, she''s not fit to be a mother. What''s the point of having a child if you don''t love them?"


    With that, he stormed off, leaving Angelina and Georgia in shock.


    Hertha, on the other hand, had raised their two children without a father''s presence, yet she managed to nurture them into lively, cheerful, and adorable kids who brightened ric''s day whenever they called him ''Daddy''.


    Such sunny and lively children were like a balm to his irritated soul.N?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    Hertha had single-handedly raised their children without once reproaching him for his absence or using the children as leverage to manipte him into doing something.


    But Georgia!


    When the child was hurt, her first reaction wasn''t concern for his well-being, but how she could use the incident to manipte ric into showing up. The child''s timidity was not met with support orpanionship from her, but with usations ofcking fatherly love. What was her next move? To use the child''s struggles as an excuse to force ric into marrying her and providing a plete'' family?


    ric didn''t need to guess; he knew Georgia''s intentions were precisely that.


    Those three years of being ckmailed by Georgia were unbearable for ric!


    She used their past rtionship to coerce him into an engagement and even interfered with his work and personal life.


    She had barged into hispany on multiple asions, boldly using him in front of his colleagues of being a kept man, saying he rode on the coattails of the Reed family demanding he follow her whims. If he refused, she threatened to cut off the Reed family''s support! Content

    The humiliation of having his dignity trampled on, the rage he had to swallow, ric couldn''t bear to go through that again!


    So, no matter how Georgia tried to manipte him now, he wouldn''t give in or show mercy.


    The child was born out of Georgia''s


    unteral decision, and she would have to face the consequences alone. If the Falconer family chose to support the child, he wouldn''t interfere, as long as it wasn''t used to ckmail him!

    Watching ric''s retreating figure, hardened and unyielding, Angelina called out, “ric, how could you do this? Come back here!"


    Georgia, her chest heaving with


    emotion and eyes brimming with tears, stared at ric''s departing silhouette, her fists clenched


    tension running through her body.


    Turning to see Georgia in her state of heartbreak and defiance, Angelina softly consoled, "Georgia..."


    Biting her lip, tears began to fall as Georgia fought back her emotions.


    The little boy, witnessing Georgia''s tears, voiced his concern in a timid whisper, "Mommy?"


    "Get away, don''t call me Mommy!" Georgia''s inner volcano erupted as sheshed out at the child.
