Chapter 401


    Callum shook his head wordlessly, wrapping his arms around Lexi in a protective hug. "Alright, I can''t


    deal with this she-devil. How about we make a run for it, Lexi? Let''s get outta dodge before we get


    dragged into their mess."


    Lexi, however, didn''t budge. The gossip hound within her was howling at the moon, yearning to stick


    around and see how this soap opera between James and the mysterious Ang, who apparently had


    his child, would y out.


    Seeing that Lexi was adamant about staying, Callum resigned himself to standing by her side.


    Meanwhile, James felt like he''d been hit by a freight train. What did that blonde bombshell just drop on


    him? She had his kid?


    No way. He didn''t even know her name, how could he possibly have fathered her child?


    But then again, that night, he did gomando because the little minx swore up and down she was


    “safe.” No condoms, no worries, she said.


    Damn it all to hell! So much for “safe.” Now, it looked like he''d been royally yed.


    "Baby, I''ve crossed oceans to find you, to give our child a home," Ang implored, reaching for James''


    hand.


    James jerked his hands behind his back like they were on fire. "Hold up, this is just too bizarre. You''re


    telling me you had my child? But I don''t even know your name or anything about you. Don''t you find


    that a bit ridiculous?"


    Ang, mistaking his shock for curiosity, beamed brightly. "A name is just a tag. I can tell you now, it''s


    not toote. My name is Ang, my aunt by marriage is the sister-inw to the Queen of Ennd. Our


    family holds the reins to a tel empire. I''m an unofficial princess, if you will."


    James felt like he was in a whirlwind. What in the world? The Queen''s sister-inw''s niece? But hold


    on, none of this mattered right now! It didn''t matter if she was some unofficial princess. He wasn''t about


    to be henpecked, trapped by marriage and fatherhood!


    He had a life full of sparkle ahead, with countless girls waiting for his love. He wasn''t ready to be


    chained down to one woman!


    So, without a second thought, James shook his head in refusal. "Ang, ''Princess Ang,'' if that''s


    what I should call you. I''m ttered to be considered the father of your child, but I can''t just go with you


    because, technically, I''m just a donor. This doesn''t mean I want to start a family with you, let alone


    marry you. There are plenty of girls out there waiting for my care and affection, waiting for—"


    He stopped mid-sentence, struck dumb as he saw Ang''s tears starting to flow. Suddenly feeling like


    he''d stepped way out of line, James lost his voice entirely.


    As tears streaked down Ang''s face, she couldn''t believe that her years of searching had been one-


    sided. That night, heartbroken, she''d dressed up like a punk rocker and drowned her sorrows in a bar.


    By some twist of fate, she had a one-night stand with James.


    She fell for the dark-eyed man with the tanned skin but woke up to find him gone. Since then, he was


    the indelible mark on her heart, her unremitting yearning.


    And then, to her shock, she found out she was pregnant. Next, she bravely brought the child into the


    world, but her father found out and insisted on marriage.


    She used Callum as a decoy out of options, but her father found Callum and ordered him to marry her.


    Callum, naturally, denied everything, swearing his heart belonged to his beloved wife from Melfort.


    She thought the matter would fade, but with deep pockets, her father bribed Callum''s maid, Rita, to


    handle his wife discreetly.


    After Callum''s wife mysteriously vanished, Ang, privy to this dark secret, couldn’t reveal the truth for


    fear Callum''s wrath would be too much for her father to bear. Left with no choice, Ang kept quiet


    while searching for Callum''s missing wife, only to be knocked out cold and her child snatched away.

    Since then, Callum red daggers at them, threatening blood if his wife and son weren''t returned.


    Fortunately, his wife was still alive and well in this world. But why did her first love, the man she found,


    turn out to be just a joke?


    Taking a deep breath, Ang approached James with aposed smile.


    James felt oddly nervous. "Ang, let''s... let''s talk this out, okay?"


    Before James couldprehend her words, Ang''s hand shot up, and with a swift, precise chop to


    the back of his neck, James hit the ground without a peep.


    In truth, James was no slouch in a fight; he was just caught off guard. With Ang''s angelic looks, who


    would''ve guessed she''d y dirty?


    Natalia and Lexi gasped in unison, "Oh my God!"


    "Oh my God! You knocked him out cold, what on earth are you nning to do with him?" Natalia


    couldn''t help but blurt out.
