“Still unwilling to tell the truth? Although I don't know how you changed the results of the father test machine, I know for a fact that you're not even the one who gave birth to the child. Look, since we're former classmates, I'm willing to let you go if you tell me the truth,” said Gerald coldly.
Hearing that, Alice instantly became dumbfounded, fear emanating in her eyes as she thought, 'When has Gerald become this strong…?'
"Now that I think about it, can you do all this because you have some kind of motive?" ask Gerald.
Since he had been thinking about the death prophecy all the way home, he couldn't help but be extra vigilant.
“I... I don't know what you're talking about! Let go of me!” denying Alice.
“Still reluctant to tell the truth, huh? All right then! I will treat this child as my own son and raise him. But I will throw you into the sea to be fish food!” gerald said as he directly picked it up.
Alice was now very frightened. After all, the Gerald he once knew was shy and weak. No matter how cruel the old Gerald was, he could not bear to see the crying woman, which usually caused him to instantly drop his cruel facade.
However, despite the fact that he was now crying so much, the ferocity and killing intent of Gerald remained.
She had completely changed, and Alice was now more convinced than ever that what she was stating was no joke.
“B-good! I'll tell you! I'll tell you! Put me down first!” peekkik Alice terrified.
Hearing that, Gerald threw him into the bed where he soon—and very bitterly—yering, “K-you were right! That kid really isn't ours!”
However, the moment he said that, he was immediately struck by an enormous regret.
“So, where did you get the boy? Did you steal it? As far as I can remember, I've given you a lot of money. How could you still be so unsatisfied that you are willing to do all this?” gerald said coldly.
"Explain how Crawford's doctors came to the conclusion that the child was ours."
“It...I'm not too sure about that either..An old master taught me that tactic..” Alice said as she gently touched her sore neck while getting out of bed before taking a few steps back.
“If that's the case, then solve this problem with my grandfather and father. Once you do, I'll give you a large sum of money that will be enough to sustain you and your family comfortably for at least three generations, ” Gerald replied.
Hearing that, Alice immediately stood up anxiously as she said, “I! Gerald, do you really think that I do all this just for the money ...? It is true that I once looked down on you as a poor person, all of that is past now..Don't you know that I have been in love with you for quite some time, Gerald…? I want to be with you! Even if you don't have money now, I still want to be yours!”
After saying all that, she immediately threw herself at Gerald, trying to hug him.
Gerald, however, only used his hands to push him aside before calmly saying, "Stop your bullshit and tell me what you really want."
"You!" alice shouted so angry that she began to stomp her feet.
“...Listen, let me stay, okay? You can't just throw me out, Gerald! I mean, just look outside! Can't you see grandpa and dad taking turns holding Mable? They already treat her as part of the family and they also look very happy!” added Alice while pointing out the window.
“In addition, I have heard that you and your grandfather will start a long journey and will not return for a long time… Now that she was filled with hope after meeting her great-grandson, don't you think that beautiful lie should stay alive?” shouted Alice.
“You better stop twisting your insincere words to sound beautiful. Tell me what's up your sleeve or I won't let you go that easily!” shouted Gerald, his voice now very cold.
Just as she was about to raise Alice to throw it away, Lyra's voice suddenly sounded saying, “Oh? Whose son is that, father? Grandpa? He's so funny! By the way, I heard that Gerald was back ... Where is he? There's something I need to talk to her about.”.
