Chapter 249 His Bted Apology


    Chapter 249 His Bted Apology


    In the hallway of the rk mansion, Alexander introduced Keh''s mother to Emerson, "Emerson,


    this is Grandma!"


    Although Emerson was a bit shy, he mustered up the courage and approached Athena, jumping into


    her arms.


    Athena held the little boy and experienced a whirlwind of emotions.


    There was delight, but also a hint of guilt!


    Despite her advanced age, she insisted on holding Emerson and nting a gentle kiss on his cheek.


    The gifts she had brought were initially intended to secure a marriage for her son.


    But now, all those gifts were given to her grandson.


    As Keh sat beside Athena, his gaze lingered on the child for a moment before shifting to Eloise,


    who was sitting across from him.


    Eloise understood his curiosity and admitted, "Yes, we have a child!"


    Keh closed his eyes gently, trying to find the truth.


    It must have been during hisst visit to Gredax when she became pregnant.


    And when she went to Vadiff, she must have already known about the baby.


    At that time, how did she have the courage to end their rtionship?


    Keh failed to make it clear, but he realized that their rtionship had ended.


    He was no longer the naive young man. He understood that a woman, who could stay away from home


    for two years and raise a child alone, must bear her love for the child and harbor some resentment


    towards him.


    Keh''s gaze darkened.


    Suddenly, he remembered what Benjamin had previously mentioned: "A girl in her thirties who doesn''t


    get married or live alone, how can she live well?"


    Just as he was lost in these thoughts, Benjamin returned with Madelyn.


    Benjamin observed the scene in the hall and smiled, "What''s going on today? Why is everyone


    gathered here?"


    He lovingly touched Emerson''s face and warmly greeted Athena.


    Athena had always admired Benjamin, and now she still relied on his help. So, her admiration for him


    was stronger.


    Benjamin sat down with Madelyn, quickly grasping the situation.


    He nced at his own father, and Alexander also looked back at his son.


    They exchanged nces, neither of them wanting to be the viin in this situation.


    Finally, it was Brianna who broke the silence.


    Tearfully, she called out, "Alexander!"


    Alexander got her meaning and took a sip of coffee.


    He smiled and said to Athena, "The kids are so naughty to make trouble. Let''s hear their suggestions."


    Athena finally rose from her seat.


    Observing the awkward situation, Madelyn took Emerson outside.


    With no children present, Athena found it easier to take action.


    She spoke sternly, "Keh, the rk and Ryan families are already married. What''s more, Eloise is


    younger than you... How could you hurt her?! You even left her and made her bring up Emerson alone


    for many years! How dare you!"


    Keh, standing before her, was extremely obedient.


    His face was filled with shame. "I''m sorry, Grandma!"


    Athena waved her hand. "You owe an apology to Eloise, not me! You have to take some action now."


    Keh went straight to Alexander and Brianna, then knelt down.


    They were shocked by his decisiveness.


    Considering Keh''s respected status, it seemed out of character for him to plead or kneel before


    others.


    Alexander, being a reasonable person, understood that Eloise must have had genuine feelings for


    Keh, as evidenced by her secret birth of Emerson.


    Moreover, Alexander had already fought with Benjamin.


    Considering that, Alexander gave a nce to his wife.


    Then Brianna helped Keh up and gently said, "It is better for you to have a discussion. After all,


    Elosie and you already have a child."


    Athena felt even more ashamed.


    Benjamin looked at his sister and inquired. "Eloise, what''s your opinion?"


    Eloise calmly stared at Keh, and he returned her gaze.


    She was clearly knowing that now due to Emerson, he was obligated to marry her.


    However, she had no desire to marry him!


    Why did she have to choose him?


    Suddenly, Keh interrupted her thought.


    "We need to have a private discussion," he said.


    Eloise looked at her brother.


    And Benjamin took a sip of coffee and sneered softly, "It''s a good idea for you two. Don''t worry, he is


    too old to hurt you."


    Indeed, there were some truths that were unsuitable for the elders to hear.


    So Eloise agreed, and they moved to a small flower hall.


    Eloise stood by the window, her back turned to Keh.


    She softly confessed the truth, "I discovered I was pregnant during ourst meeting! But I only found


    out after we broke up."


    Keh gazed at her back, shaking his head.


    He replied gently, "You''re lying, Eloise. You already knew before we broke up, didn''t you?"


    Eloise took a deep breath and admitted, "Nothing can escape Mr. Ryan''s observation. Yes, I realized I


    was pregnant on the night we broke up! I wanted to tell you, but you had already rejected me."


    Actually, even if he hadn''t rejected her, it would have been impossible for them to have a future


    together.


    After all, she also wanted to maintain her dignity.


    Mr. Ryan had encountered so many captivating women, how could a little girl like her dare to win his


    love?


    She turned to Keh and smiled faintly, "Madelyn taught me that sometimes it''s better to let go of


    everything than to hold onto something. She chose to stay with Benjamin because little Everest needs


    his care..."

    "But Mr. Ryan, Emerson has never had a father in his life, and he''s healthy. So we don''t have to force


    ourselves to be together just for the sake of the child!" she said.


    Eloise became more rational as she even weed Keh toe to Gredax anytime to spend time


    with Emerson.


    And there was no way she would ever consider returning Vadiff!


    Absolutely not!


    Elosie said a lot, but Keh remained silent, sitting on the sofa and smoking...


    Unlike his mother, who found satisfaction in having a grandson, he knew that precisely because of the


    child that Eloise resented him even more and was less willing to forgive him.


    He was a cautious and thoughtful person.


    Even when faced with strong emotions, the woman he loved, and his own son, he could maintain his


    Because there were too many factors he needed to consider.


    In the time he took for a cigarette, he seemed to have figured everything out.


    He asked her softly, "Have you made your decision?"


    Eloise murmured in agreement.


    Keh approached her, his hand almost reaching out to touch her hair as he had done in the past.


    However, hesitating at thest moment, his hand fell back down.


    After a long pause, he finally asked in a hoarse voice, "Was it hard to survive outside these past two


    years?"


    Eloise nodded.


    He didn''t say anything more; he simply pulled her into his embrace.


    Without any desire or even romantic feeling, it was like an elderforting a junior as he held her


    silently...


    This kind of tenderness was like poison to Eloise, and she didn''t want to sink into it.


    She gently pushed him away. "From now on, we are only Emerson''s parents, nothing more."


    Keh didn''t insist.


    From the shadows of the curtain, he spoke softly, "Eloise, when I was with you, no one else existed!"


    Eloise visibly hesitated, then smiled faintly. "I don''t care about that now!"


    ...


    Keh informed them of their decision.


    Athena was furious, thinking that her son was irresponsible.


    The rk family, on the other hand, remained calm.


    Alexander eptedpensation from Keh on behalf of Eloise. He also received child support for


    Emerson, which were all responsibilities a man should fulfill.


    He told Athena, "Keh and Eloise have their own ideas, and we need to ept it. Besides, they


    have already broken up a long time ago, insisting on their marriage tie is indeed impolite. Anyway, if


    you would like to visit Emerson, we wee you."


    Athena felt somewhat disappointed.


    Brianna warmly invited Athena to stay at the rk family for a few days.


    As for Keh, he had a lot of work to do and needed to return to Vadiff in the afternoon.


    For now, the matter was settled.


    In the afternoon, as Madelyn picked up Everest, she couldn''t help but think about it.


    But Benjamin smiled faintly and said, "It makes sense! If Keh hadn''t hurt Eloise so much, she


    would definitely have repaired their rtionship two years ago."


    He pondered for a moment and added, "Well, Eloise has changed a lot in these two years."


    Madelyn''s heart softened at his considerate thoughts.


    She turned to Benjamin and deliberately said, "Eloise is quite brave! Maybe we shouldn''t just reconcile


    for the sake of the child..."


    Benjamin nced at her.


    He gently stepped on the gas pedal and drove for a while before smiling.


    "Have we really made up? It has been two months since west had any intimate moments, Madelyn...


    can you call this making up?"


    Madelyn remained silent.


    There was no point in arguing with him.


    Both of them fell into silence, burdened by past issues, their hearts weighed down.


    At a red-light intersection, Benjamin gently held her hand and whispered, "Dress up nicely for our


    anniversary, for me, hmm?"


    Madelyn responded lightly, touched by his change.


    She had witnessed his transformation and was moved by his improved treatment towards her and


    Everest.


    Even when dealing with this sensitive issue, he disyed unexpected restraint and patience.


    Nowadays, they lived together and had a child together, and Madelyn was willing to treat him better.


    So, when she received his intimate hint, she agreed.


    As for the wounds of the past, she knew they would take time to heal.


    Little did Madelyn realize how significant her nod was to Benjamin.


    Over the past three years, he had gone without a romantic rtionship, and even now, he saw her


    every day.


    But her positive response meant that she was willing to trust him and give herself fully to him!
