Before the bankruptcy of his company, Hank had purchased a villa and expensive car for Louise. He even transferred a lot of properties to her behind Beth's back. With this much wealth bestowed to her,

Louise did not need to worry about living like how she did.

At first, Louise only wanted to use Hank. However, as time went by, she had grown attached to him and developed feelings for him. Now that she had given birth to his son, she found herself even more fond of him.

Even after Hank was bankrupt, Louise still kept him at her home, willingly providing for him. After all, he was the reason she and her son had such a good life. So, other than her feelings for him, Louise also wanted to repay him.

It was not difficult to feed an extra mouth. So long as they did not spend irrationally, they could still live quite comfortably.

"What's wrong? You look so pale."

Louise caressed Hank's face in concern.

However, Hank glared at her furiously. "Is he mine?"

"What?"

Louise was stunned hearing that. It was then that their two-year-old son called for them in the living room. She quickly turned toward the living room, wanting to care for her baby boy. However, Hank suddenly yanked her hair.

"I'm asking you! Is that boy mine?!"

In shock and pain, Louise replied anxiously, "Of course he's yours! If he isn't yours, then whose would he be?"

She was so confused. Just what was wrong with this man? How could he think that?!

Hank, however, was not having it. Even though he was not willing to believe it, the information printed on the paternity report proved otherwise!

He shoved her away and tossed the paternity report at her face. "See for yourself!"

Having fallen to the floor, Louise picked up the report in pain and began reading.

"Where did you get this?" Louise asked in a panic, "You did a paternity test on our son? How could you doubt me like this?!"

"This is not important!" Hank slapped her and said, "Can you not tell what's more important right now?!"

"Are you out of your mind?!" Louise wept in protest. "I was single when I got together with you. There's only one man who bedded me, and that's you! He is your son! If you aren't his father, then who is?!" "Who knows? You could have spread your legs to other men for cash!" Hank chastised, "Damn it! I did so much for you before I got bankrupt. I betrayed my wife for you! Yet, this boy isn't mine?!" Hank then grabbed Louise by the neck and forced her up to her feet. The man was so overwhelmed with anger that he had completely lost control of himself.

"You'll pay for this, Louise Lawrence! I'll have you know that I'm not a man you could fool around with like this!"

"Dada... Mama..." The boy heard something at the villa's entrance and wobbled to them. Seeing his father treating his mother so violently, he trembled in fear. "Dada... No... Don't hit Mama... Dada..."

He could not comprehend why his usually kind and gentle father had suddenly turned into a monster. What did he do wrong?

Looking at the boy, Hank recalled how happy he was spending time with him. His life was filled with so much woes and misfortune. This boy was the only thing that could bring him joy. He came to see him every day after he was born, watching him grow up. He could remember how happy he was when the boy called him "Dada". He was so happy back then!

It was because of this boy that he did not despair when he was hit with bankruptcy!

On top of that, Louise was such a wonderful woman. She was kind and gentle, and treated him with respect and love. She was so different from Beth. How...? How could things turn out like this? How could this wonderful, new life turn out to be a lie?!

No matter how pissed he was, Hank still could not bring himself to hurt the boy. So, he lashed out on Louise instead, pushing her to the floor harshly. Falling to the floor, Louise gasped for air as she crawled toward her son.

"Baby... My baby... it's okay. Mama's okay."

She embraced her son as he bawled his eyes out.

"Mama... Mama... Dada... Dada hit you..."

Hiccups cut into the boy's cries from time to time as he wept, as though he was going to cry until he took his last breath then and there.
