"How come you're here? Don’t tell me this is just a coincidence."Amora glanced at Regis, who was driving beside her. A while ago, he had suddenly pulled up next to the bus stop and called her to get into his car.At first, Amora wanted to refuse, but thinking about the little money she had left in her pocket, she chose to accept the free ride. Besides, there was something important she wanted to discuss with Regis."It’s not a coincidence," Regis admitted openly."So, you followed me on purpose?" Amora asked, narrowing her eyes. She didn’t expect Regis to confess to something she found inappropriate.Regis gave a slight nod, focusing on driving.Amora let out a long sigh. "Don’t you have anything better to do, Young Master Lorenzo?""This is part of my job," Regis replied indifferently.Amora rolled her eyes, and silence fell between them, making the atmosphere a little uncomfortable. Even though there was something she wanted to talk to Regis about, she didn’t know how to begin.Amo
"Sorry, Sir. What did you say?" Amora asked, furrowing her brow.Just as Regis had given his response to Amora a few seconds earlier, a passing car honked loudly at the car in front of them, so Amora didn’t hear what Regis had said clearly.Regis, however, let out a sigh of relief. The honk had snapped him out of the foolish words he had just blurted out. He couldn’t believe he had made such a spontaneous confession.When Regis had looked into Amora’s beautiful, shining eyes, the words had slipped out of his mouth uncontrollably."Sir Lorenzo, can you repeat that? I didn’t…"“There’s no repeating. I never say the same thing twice,” Regis interrupted nervously. He quickly moved his hand away from her chin and turned to look out the car window to calm the pounding in his chest.“What? Why not?” Amora protested, becoming more curious. Regis had looked so serious when he gave his answer, but unfortunately, she hadn’t heard it.“You didn’t insult me just now, did you?” Amora guessed suspic
Regis’s car had just arrived at the hospital entrance when Mark swiftly came to greet him.“Thank you, Mr. Carter,” Amora said as Regis’s assistant opened the door for her.Mark gave a small nod.“What happened to your arm, Mr. Carter?” Amora asked, noticing the bandage wrapped around Mark’s arm.Mark was wearing a short-sleeved hoodie, giving him a casual appearance, since this wasn’t a work-related visit.“It’s just a small accident, Miss,” Mark replied, giving her a small salute before quickly moving toward Regis, who had just stepped out of the car.Regis handed the car keys to Mark. Without needing to say anything, Mark understood his task.Regis hurried after Amora, who had already walked ahead. With long strides, he caught up with her. Their presence together immediately caught the attention of hospital visitors and staff, but Regis ignored the looks.How could he not stand out? Dressed all in black, from his top to his pants, Regis exuded a mysterious, sexy aura that captivate
After Biana left, Amora approached her son, who was happily chatting with Regis. Although her face still showed signs of fatigue, seeing her son interact so joyfully warmed Amora’s heart."Ray, how are you feeling now? Is there still any pain, Sweetheart?" Amora asked, her face full of worry.The boy's attention shifted to her. "I'm fine, Mom," he replied with a wide smile.Instead of feeling relieved, Amora's expression softened with sadness. She gently took her son’s hand in hers.Seeing the needle still attached to the back of her son’s small hand, Amora's heart ached deeply."I'm so sorry, Ray. I’ve been neglectful and didn’t pay enough attention to you. I should have known you were in pain…."Amora's voice began to tremble. She bit her lip, trying to hold back her sobs.Quickly, she wiped away the tears that were about to fall from her eyes. Rayden offered a small smile, squeezing his mother’s hand and softly brushing her cheek."I'm the one who should apologize, Mom. I made you
A satisfied smile appeared on Regis' lips as his eyes scanned the report handed to him by his assistant. He glanced briefly at the pale-faced woman standing in front of him.The woman nervously wrung her hands. Gone was the arrogance and defiance that usually flowed from her lips when facing him."Want to see?" Regis offered, extending his assistant's device to Amora.She glared at him but still took the device. Amora's hazel eyes quickly scanned the conclusion at the end of the DNA test results.Clearly written was the statement, "The probability of the alleged father being the biological father of the child is more than 99.99%."Amora closed her eyes for a moment. This result did not surprise her, as she knew full well that the man who had taken her purity and planted the seed in her womb was none other than Regis Lorenzo. No other man had ever touched her."When did you plan this?" Amora asked sharply.She felt caught off guard by this. Regis had obtained a sample for the DNA test
"You finally admitted it, Amora."A triumphant smile curved across Regis' lips. He felt a huge sense of relief after winning the battle he had been anxiously waging since yesterday. He had successfully broken through Amora's arrogance and exposed her lies.Although Regis had always suspected that Rayden was the result of their heated affair, hearing the confession directly from Amora gave him a mix of excitement and relief.Regis wasn’t sure what kind of expression would properly reflect his joy. He figured he needed time to adapt to his new role as the father of a son he had just discovered."What do you plan to do now that you know, Sir Lorenzo?" Amora asked, her voice probing.She had no choice but to confess everything. She couldn’t hide from the undeniable evidence Regis presented. All she could do was hope that he wouldn't try to take Rayden away from her.If Regis had had any deceitful intentions, Amora would have already resolved to fight and never let him take her son from he
Amora’s sharp eyes glanced at Regis’ grip on her wrist. Eventually, the man slowly let go.A rough huff escaped Amora’s lips. She took a few seconds to calm herself before speaking again. “All this time, Ray never knew who his father was, and he believes that man abandoned him and me as his mother,” she said.She glanced at Regis to see his reaction, but he remained expressionless.“In a boy like Ray’s mind ... do you really think he can accept his father suddenly showing up and claiming him after years of fostering hatred for the man who left him?”Amora’s lengthy explanation left Regis in silence. He finally understood his significant mistake.However, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to meet the boy; he simply hadn’t remembered ever being with a woman, let alone getting one pregnant!Even so, Regis couldn’t use that as an excuse. As Amora had said, Rayden would not accept him easily. Abandoning him since he was in the womb was an unforgivable act!Regis thought he would need time to o
“Haaah…”A long sigh escaped Amora’s lips. She had no idea how many times she had sighed like that today.Rayden, watching cartoons on the hospital bed, turned to look at her. He noticed his mom seemed troubled by something.Since yesterday afternoon, he had seen his mom lost in thought without any clear reason. Even though Rayden had asked her what was bothering her, she refused to tell him.Rayden guessed it had something to do with Regis Lorenzo. Ever since she mentioned that she would take him home after visiting the hospital, his mom seemed to have lost focus on everything else.Rayden returned his attention to his show. He didn’t want to ask any more questions because he didn’t want to add to her worries.Amora didn’t realize that her son was concerned. She was still lost in the thoughts that had been weighing on her mind since the previous day.Her eyes glanced at the sky outside the window, which had turned orange, signaling it had been almost a full day since her meeting with
