The Cherished Wife novel Chapter 927

"Pete, come back. You haven't seen Jack in years." Xylos sighed after saying this. "I heard… that woman has also returned?"

Peter looked up, meeting Tania's gaze with a smirk on his face. "Are you talking about Tania, Grandpa?" he asked with a raised brow. "Did Jamie tell you, or was it Uncle Jack?"

"Your Uncle Jack? How could he… What do you mean?"

Peter interrupted, "Since you're so keen on me returning, then I'll come back. I'll even bring you a grand gift!"

Peter hung up, casting a complex glance at Tania.

The moment she met his eyes, Tania's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously tightened her grip on Brandon's hand. Peter's gaze was… intense.

Peter walked over, crouched down, and gently patted Brandon's head. Noticing he was sweating, Peter took a towel and wiped his forehead. "Bran, let's call it a day, alright?"

"But…" Brandon hesitated, looking at Tania. Then, with a sigh of understanding, he nodded. "Okay. Mr. Peter, will you bring me here again?"

"Of course. As long as you behave, I'll definitely bring you here again." Peter picked him up, then gave Tania a pointed look. "The call was from my grandfather," he started, attempting to explain.

Tania scoffed. "Why tell me? We don't have any ties."

Peter's gaze grew steely. "That guy has returned to the Lennons."

Tania froze, staring at Peter in astonishment. Her lips parted, but no words came out.

Seeing her surprise, Peter just smirked. "Tania, I'm not some saint. I'm human too. I feel anger, and yes, resentment. But if I were to take revenge against the Lennons, I'd do it on my own terms. I'd never use you to do it."

"What makes you think he's using me? And what makes you think you're not?" Tania cut him off sharply. "Regardless of his motives, in these three years, he's been there for me and Brandon. Whether he's seeking revenge against the Lennons or not has nothing to do with me!"

"It has everything to do with you. You're my wife!"

"Peter, how many times do I have to spell it out for you? There's nothing between us anymore. After what you did to me three years ago, do you think I'd just forget about it? Do you think that didn't hurt me? Since you chose Riley Jones and her child, stop coming after me now."

Peter growled, "What will it take for you to believe that there's nothing between me and Riley?

"You believe everyone else, so why not me? Tania, look at me. I'm only going to explain this once. Yes, Riley's child is a Lennon, but it's not mine. If you don't believe me, come back to the Lennon residence with me today, and I'll show you the truth!"
