Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 68

When Verian opened the kraft paper bag, there was a stormy sea in her eyes. Inside the paper bag was a DNA paternity test report.

The two testing parties were her and Cherie Fudd.

Heaton leaned against the wall casually and tucked one hand in his pocket. As if he was relaxed and did not care much, he explained to her. "Jelly Bean's real name is Cherie Fudd."

She knew that when she came to Fudd Family Mansion for the first time. Little Jelly Bean told her her name when she took her into the children's room.

She held the DNA test report tightly, and her knuckles turned pale.

Although she had had suspicions and doubts in the past, she could not be more shocked than now.

Little Jelly Bean... Was she really the child she gave birth to as a surrogate mother three years ago?

The scenes in which she was getting along with Little Jelly Bean flashed in her mind. The little munchkin's cute face gradually became clearer. How did she never discover that the big eyes of Little Jelly Bean were 60 to 70 percent resembling hers?

Her tears slowly dripped onto the report. Her eyes were filled with water. She sniffed, and her voice was a little hoarse. "Y-You've already known about this for long?"

Heaton promised to keep Mont Family Mansion for her and made a deal with her. Therefore, actually, he knew about it at that time?

The man fixed his gaze on her and said with a deep voice. "The reason why I promised you to keep Mont Family Mansion is that I learned that you're Little Jelly Bean's biological mother."

She raised her hand and wiped her tears vigorously. "Why didn't you tell me this earlier?"

"In the beginning, I was not sure of your true purpose of approaching me and Little Jelly Bean. I can't bring a woman who wants to use Little Jelly Bean into the Fudd Family, even if she's Little Jelly Bean's biological mother."

Verian could totally understand Heaton's behaviors. However, she could not digest the fact now. She swallowed her saliva and stared at the result of the DNA test. Then, she asked, "L-Little Jelly Bean knows about this?"

"She doesn't know yet, but I will find a suitable time to tell her that you're her mother."

Verian suddenly shook her head and pleaded. "Don't tell her."

The man darkened his eyes and stared at her with a frown. What did this woman mean?

"I... Our relationship is just an agreement. If Little Jelly Bean knew that I was her biological mother, she'll definitely want us to be together. I know that you don’t like me, and you can’t be with me for real. During the past three years, I did not fulfill my responsibilities as a mother. She's still very young. I don't want to change her current life. It'll be best for her if we do it this way."

Heaton took a step closer with his long legs and looked at her sharply. "You mean, you don't plan to fulfill your responsibilities as a mother to Little Jelly Bean in the future?"

Verian was stunned and quickly explained. "No... I'll definitely care about her and take care of her in the future, but..."

"If you're not fulfilling your responsibilities as Little Jelly Bean's mother, then Little Jelly Bean doesn't need you."

"..."

Verian was shocked and choked. Why was Heaton so hard to communicate with?

"I won't fight for the custody of Little Jelly Bean with you. Even if I want to, I'm no match for you in this fight. I know I'm an unqualified mother, and I have no ability to give Little Jelly Bean a better life than what she has now. But, I hope that when you marry another woman in the future, you can allow me to visit Little Jelly Bean."

He married another woman? His words were so obvious, but she still did not understand?

The man’s eyes became gloomy. When he was about to flare up, a cute child voice suddenly came from outside—

"Monty, are you awake? Monty, I'm coming in!"

Verian's heart trembled fiercely, and she quickly wiped away her tears. When Little Jelly Bean opened the door, she found that Heaton was also there. She blinked her big eyes and looked at Verian. She saw Verian's eyes were red, so she frowned her little eyebrows and asked, "Daddy, are you bullying Monty? Monty, why are you crying?"

Verian could not help but step forward. She crouched and hugged Little Jelly Bean tightly, and her tears ran down uncontrollably again. She sobbed as she said, "Jelly Bean... I'm sorry... I'm really sorry..."
