Chapter 696
Josiah didn''t look at her at all but went straight into the bathroom. After seeing this, | felt that it was unnecessary for me to stay
here any longer than | had to.
| made my way towards the restaurant. As | walked, | could still hear the sound of her crying in the corridor.
When Josiah caught up to me, | didn''t realize that it was him. | thought he was just a passer-by, so | subconsciously gave way to
him.
But he didn''te forward. He just followed behind me instead.
Out of instinct, | looked back and saw him walking along, his face pale.
After walking in silence for a while, he suddenly said, "You raised Anne, so the thought of taking her away from you never
crossed my mind but she is a child of the Saunders family. No matter what kind of life she chooses in the future, you should at
least let her know of her father''s existence.”
What he said caught me off guard. | stopped in my tracks and looked back at him. My words were stuck in my throat.
After a pause, | finally said, "Before Monique left, she said that she would never allow Anne to associate herself with you, nor
would she allow her to return to the Saunders family. Josiah, there is no point crying over spilt milk. You should just let some
things go."
He frowned, his face turning grim. "So, what do you n to do? Let her stay with you? Yes, I''m sure you can give her everything,
but do you know what she actually wants?”
"She has been with me since the day she was born. Why can''t she stay with me? Indeed, you''re her father, but have you ever
taken care of her? Have you ever seen her babble as a toddler or learn to walk? Have you ever felt her crying in the middle of
the night looking for her mother? No, you don''t. How dare you say that you are her father? Just because you contributed your
sperm?"
| always lost control of myself whenever it came to Anne.
He suppressed his anger and said in a low voice, "I did not know Monique was pregnant at that time. If | knew, | would not have
left her, let alone allow her to give birth to a child by herself and have the child raised by you. This was out of my control.
I sneered, "How could you not know? If you didn''t, then how did Chloe know? She provoked Monique when she was having it the
hardest. She even caused Anne''s premature birth and Monique''s circtory system to copse, thereby killing her. Josiah, do
you think you can cover up all these with a frivolous word like ''you don''t know''?"Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.
He was startled by my response, and looked like he was on the verge of a mental breakdown. He squinted his eyes to look at
me, unconvinced, "Are you saying that Chloe has something to do with Monique''s death?"
“You''ve never investigated what happened to Monique, have you?" | felt disappointed for Monique. If Josiah really cared about
her, how could he not investigate what had happened to her that day?
To put it bluntly, he never loved her. Even though she had been missing for so long, he never looked for her and did not even ask
about her.
In this case, if | were to give him Anne, it would only fill my days with worries and anxiety.
He pursed his lips and did not say more.
| calmed down, casting a nce at
him as | said, "No matter, hat ￠hel\
on ￡3 family PANS 0 do, | will not
h if nne over to any of you."

"It''s nothing, have you guys finished eating?" | asked.
