Chapter 1573


    Looking at the pained expression on Jayden''s face, Julien felt as if something sharp had stabbed


    his heart.


    For Julien, it had been many years since he saw such a look on Jayden''s face. Thest time he saw


    Jayden look this disappointed was the year when his parents brought Jayden back to Chatterton


    Town to recuperate from his illness.


    At that time, Jayden seemed to have been disappointed by Silvia, so he agreed to go back to


    Chatterton Town with his parents. What happened this time?


    "Could it be that Silvia really lost her baby after so much difficulty conceiving?"


    "Jayden..." Julien walked over and wanted tofort his brother, but he did not know what to say.


    He could see Jayden was suffering and he was very concerned about him.


    "Why are you guys here?" Jayden asked. He did not call home to inform them of this matter. They


    must have been informed by someone else since they came so quickly. However, Jayden did not


    have the mood to ask further.


    Knowing that Julien wanted to ask the question but could not bring himself to, Vanessa stepped


    forward and asked, "Jayden, are Silvia and the child okay?"


    "They''re fine," Jayden replied indifferently.


    "Jayden, are they really okay?" Julien asked. If they were really fine, Jayden would not look so


    distressed.


    Jayden did not respond, but sat on the chair in the corridor weakly with his head in his hands.


    "Jayden, what''s the matter?"


    "Silvia wants to get a divorce."


    "Why?"


    Jayden irritably scratched his head and slowly told the whole story in detail. After hearing it, Julien


    said, "Jayden, you are also doing this for Silvia''s sake. Go in and exin it to her now. As long as


    she knows the truth, she will certainly forgive you."


    Vanessa, on the other hand, had a different opinion. "Jayden, it''s not that I have anything against


    you, but how could you have done such a thing like surrogacy behind Silvia''s back? Although it’s


    true that she really wants a child of her own, she might not be willing to let another woman give birth


    to a child for her."


    Jayden and Julien both looked at Vanessa at the same time. Under the gazes of the two brothers,


    Vanessa continued to say, "I am also a woman. If I faced something like this, I wouldn''t be able to


    ept it either. What you''ve done seems like you were sure that Silvia was infertile. And s, for us


    women, not being able to carry a baby may feel like a physical defect..."


    It was not that Vanessa med Jayden for his decision, but she was thinking of the situation from


    Silvia’s point of view. Some things were perceived differently between men and women. It was not


    about who was right or wrong - it was just different ways of looking at things.


    Jayden understood the crux of the problem Vanessa had mentioned. In the past, when he heard


    that it was difficult for Silvia to get pregnant, he had tried hard, because for a woman, whether she


    could conceive or not waspletely different from whether she could give birth or not. "I know this


    isn’t right... Well if this is the case, if she wants to divorce me, then she may. I was the one who


    forced her to marry me at the time anyway. Perhaps she has been thinking about how to leave me


    for years. She finally got her chance now.”


    Hearing that, Julien became furious and barked, "Jayden, what are you talking about? You''re just


    angry at Silvia. Why don''t you calm down? Are you trying to break our family up? Do you want my


    nephew to not have a father when he’s born? Are you going to make him an illegitimate child? You


    always lecture me when ites to my problems, so why don’t you think it through first when it


    comes to yours?"


    Jayden said, "It''s been so many years. I''m tired. I don''t want to think about it anymore."

    Vanessa said, "Jayden, I know that you care about Silvia. That’s why you''re so distressed when she


    says she wants to divorce you. Okay, why don''t we do this? Let me go talk to her and see what''s on


    her mind."


    Jayden did not say anything, but Julien spoke up, "Vanessa, I''ll leave this matter to you."


    Vanessa nodded. "I''ll leave Jayden to you as well."


    The couple carried on with their respective actions separately. One took care of the dejected


    Jayden, and the other went into the room to talk to Silvia.


    Vanessa came to the door and knocked. "Silvia, it''s Vanessa. Can Ie in and talk to you?"


    Silvia knew that Vanessa might be the savior sent by Jayden, but she could not ignore Vanessa for


    this reason. She said, "Mom, please leave first and let Vanessa in."


    "Silvia, think about what I said.You are an adult, you can''t be impulsive." Before going out, Mrs.


    Turner pulled up the quilt to cover Silvia, and told her again. Then, she went to the door and opened


    it. "Miss Love, I need you to help me persuade Silvia. She is a stubborn person and sometimes she


    doesn''t think things through. But as long as we can persuade her and change her mind, the problem


    will be solved."


    Vanessa said, "Auntie, I will talk to Silvia. You don''t have to worry too much."


    Mrs. Turner took Vanessa''s hand and patted it. "Okay, I''ll hand Silvia over to you."


    After seeing Mrs. Turner out, Vanessa entered the room and saw Silvia lying on the bed. Vanessa


    smiled and greeted her, "Silvia, I''m here to see you."


    Silvia looked behind her and did not see Lawrie. She was a little bit disappointed. "Vanessa, didn''t


    Lawriee with you?"


    Vanessa said petntly, "I came all the way to see you but you don''t even wee me! You only


    thought that naughty little Lawrie. I'' m jealous!"


    Silvia smiled and said, "Well, you’re the one with an super adorable son, it''s impossible to


    not like him!"


    Vanessa continued, "Fortunately, I had your help to get the little guy out of his haunted past. Now,


    he gets along well with Larry and his grandparents. He won''t be as clingy as before."


    Silvia said, "From your tone, it sounds like you are really jealous."


    "I went through a lot with him. He used to only cling to me but now suddenly, there is another


    person whom he loves. Of course I''d be jealous," Vanessa said as she sat on the edge of Silvia''s


    bed. She reached out to hold Silvia''s hand and said, "Silvia, you definitely won’t want to see your


    child being born and tormented like Lawrie was before."


    Silvia was silent.


    She had not thought of this.


    She had always wanted to have a child. If the child could be born, she would love it and definitely


    would not let the child be bullied. But with Lawrie''s past experience, it seemed that she was not sure


    whether she could take care of the child alone.


    Vanessa added, "Silvia, can I be honest with you?"


    Silvia asked, "Did Jayden send you here?"


    Vanessa shook her head and said, "Jayden didn''t ask me to persuade you. I came here on my own.


    Because men''s view of things is too different from us women''s. There are some things that they


    don''t think are important, but matter very much to us."


    Silvia said, "s, you’ re the one who understands me."


    Silvia was willing to listen, and Vanessa did not want to beat around the bush. So, she directly told


    her, "Silvia, the baby that woman is carrying... It''s actually Jayden and your child..."
