Chapter 2442


    "Did I cross the line with what I''ve said? Don''t you think he''s disgusting by asking me to acknowledge


    him as my rtive the moment I came?"


    Yannie was stunned when Thomas pointed at her.She shot Thomas a dull look, then turned to look at


    Luna and Joshua warily.She was in tremendous fear at the moment.Her heart had been pounding the


    moment she bumped into Thomas'' assistant.


    After all, she had once seen his assistant before.


    On that night a year ago, she bumped into a man when she was in a hurry to escape from Thomas''


    room, and that man was Thomas’ assistant! Yannie, on that night, was in a mess with her clothes torn.


    The assistant had assumed she was a beggar and thus barked at her.She was badly shaken up,


    fearing that the assistant would recognize her when she bumped into him—afraid that Thomas would


    come looking for her.


    Two months ago, she delivered her infant in a small hospital, but the baby did not survive.She thought


    she could care for her child, even imagining that the baby would grow up to be handsome like Thomas.


    Who would have thought...


    By the time she woke up, the doctor told her the baby was dead, and the corpse was taken away.


    There was nothing else she could have done but drown herself in sorrow and pain.


    After that day, sheforted herself by telling herself it was all just a dream.


    The baby knew he would be unhappy to have lived with a poor mother, and that was why he chose to


    leave the world upon birth.


    As such, she even prayed for the baby for a month, hoping the baby would find a better family in his


    next life.


    Yannie never thought that Thomas would, at present,e to Merchant City just as she was slowly


    moving on.


    Not only did hee to Merchant City, but he even saw her a few times.She was afraid, terrified that


    Thomas would find out that she had delivered his baby in silence.She was even more terrified to let


    Thomas know that she failed to care for the infant, that the child after their birth.


    That was why she had tried all means possible to avoid Thomas.She dreaded that Thomas or his


    assistant would recognize her.

    Despite these thoughts, however, she could not help but nce at Thomas discreetly.Thomas was no


    doubt some, good-looking man.He was the most handsome man she had ever seen in her life.


    If she did not walk into the wrong room a year ago, and if Thomas was not drugged...she would never


    have had the chance to get close to a man like Thomas, what more to have carried his child.


    "Say something."


    When Yannie was spacing out as she stared at Thomas'' face, Thomas narrowed his eyes and looked


    at Yannie impatiently.


    "I asked you a question.Why are you staring at me?"


    Smirking, he added, "I know I''m very good - looking, but this isn''t the time for you to ogle me."


    Yannie blushed instantly.She turned her face to the side so she did not have to look at him.


    "Mr.Howard, did you just ask if what you did was way overboard?" She pursed her lips.


    "That''s ridiculous."
