Sean looked at me. He paused and said, “I didn’t do well in the past, but it doesn’t mean I can’t do well in the future. I will try to do better and let you know that my love is not...”
“Sean, to be honest, I have a baby with Becky.”
Sean was interrupted by Ming before he finished speaking.
Sean and I were shocked by what he said!
I looked at Ming in shock.
How could he talk about Lester!
If Sean knew that I was carrying his baby, he would not let me go!
Sean said first, “do you think I can believe it?”
There was contempt in his tone.
He seemed to be laughing at Ming for making such a bad joke.
Ming was not surprised. He continued, “it wasn’t you who hurt her before, it was me.”
“Forget it.”
Although I didn’t know what Ming was going to say, I interrupted him.
Now that Sean didn’t believe it, we’d better not talk about the kid.
But Ming continued, “Becky and I met five years ago. At that time, I went to the Carson City on business and met Becky at the bar. We had a one night stand. I only left my phone number that day...”
“Stop it!”
I finally knew what Ming was going to do. I cooperated with him and pretended to be angry and said, “there’s no need to tell him about the past.”
“If I don’t say it, he doesn’t believe it.” Ming patted me and looked at Sean. “Then Becky called me. I was doing an operation and I didn’t answer the phone. I didn’t know until I saw her with a child...”
“When did it happen? How old is the child?”
Sean looked straight at me.
When he asked me, he looked furious.
Ming answered for me, “he’s four years old.”
“Four years old...” Sean lowered his head and thought for a while. He rushed over and grabbed my hand and asked, “you left four and a half years ago, so you were pregnant! The child is mine, right?”
I was scared!
I looked up at Sean.
He looked ecstatic!
He suddenly hugged me. “Don’t lie to me. He’s my child, isn’t he?”
“No.”
I pushed him away and said coldly.
Ming suddenly pulled me into his range and protected me. He said to Sean, “Sean, I’ve been trying to get Becky back over the years. She’s not June. You hurt June. Don’t hurt Cindy now.”
“Shut up!” Sean yelled at him and looked at me, “it’s impossible! The child is mine. No one can take my child away!”
“The child is not yours.”
Ming looked at him calmly.
“It’s impossible!” Sean didn’t believe it and asked me, “where’s the child? Where is our child?”
He tried to get close to me, but Ming stopped him. “Sean...”
“Get out of the way!” Sean grabbed Ming’s collar directly. “You knew she was pregnant with my baby but you took her away. Now she has my baby, but you say it’s yours? You are shameless!”
He wanted to hit him!
Ming was protecting me.
Sean punched him in the face but Ming didn’t fight back!
I watched Ming’s face swell and then Sean’s unreasonable appearance and tried to stop him.
But Sean ignored me.
I angrily picked up the red cup on the table and directly dropped it on the ground!
Bang!
Did it hurt?
When Sean said that to me.
My heart really hurt.
Sean stayed in place for a long time. He shook himself and went to pick up the broom.
“What are you going to do?”
I rushed over and was afraid that he would hit people.
But Sean said, “the cup is broken. I’ll help you clean it and leave. I will not come again.”
“...”
I was stunned.
“I’ll do it.”
Ming took the broom from his hand and began to sweep the pieces on the floor.
Sean didn’t refuse and handed him the broom.
He looked up at me. There was no warmth or emotion in his eyes.
Then he turned and left.
When Sean closed the door and left, my heart ached. I stood there and wanted to rush out to hold him.
But I couldn’t.
I bent down to pick up the big pieces. Accidentally a piece of debris pierced my hand.
The red blood fell on the red pieces of the cup.
“Why is your hand broken?”
As I stared at the debris in front of my eyes, Ming came over and found that my hand was broken. He picked me up quickly.
