Chapter 186: Left Alone
Liam could not understand what Rory was saying at first.
Brother of Ellie? Is Cherry pregnant by any chance?
"What?" He almost jumped in joy. But then he remembered that the doctors ran every test there is on her. They would have informed him if she was pregnant.
If so..., what does she mean when she says their daughter will be with her brother?
"What the..." Mrs. Delport gritted her teeth and almost snapped at her but she held herself back.
Liam was concerned seeing Mrs. Delport like that and only then he realized that she had said something so abhorrent.
Me? She is mentioning me as Ellie’s brother. What is wrong with her?
His blood boiled. "What do you mean?" He shouted at her. That is such an absurd suggestion. It is true that Lennon did something to her in that house that made her traumatized, but isn’t she going too far? She is speaking as if he was...
Seeing her blank expression, his chest hurt. It hurt to even look at her. "Have you gone totally crazy?" he asked. His voice trembled out of anger.
He was being patient with her; patience he never had. And yet, she is pushing his buttons and is even suggesting something so absurd.
Mrs. Delport turned and looked at him. She was unimpressed that he raised his voice although she did the same. "Arrange for a DNA test. Let’s put her doubts to rest," she said.
"No way! Why should I? She is my daughter. Where is this absurd thought even come from?" he shouted. His eyes were red, and his lips trembled. He then looked at Rory. "You want a divorce. Is that it? We’ll divorce. Stop saying stupid stuff just because..." he pressed his lips from speaking further.
