Although she subconsciously wanted to refuse, when she lowered her head and saw the tears on the little one’s face, her heart suddenly softened uncontrollably...

She didn’t know why she felt this way.

When she faced other children, she would become gentle as well, but... seeing this little one’s crying face in front of her, her heart ached.

Just as she was staring at little Nathaniel, unsure of how to refuse without hurting his feelings, Yancy Shaw seized the opportunity to speak up.

"Nathaniel lost his mother the day he was born, he’s a pitiful child. Miss Sherry, don’t you have even this bit of compassion?"

After saying this, Yancy Shaw anxiously watched Sherry, observing every move on her face...

Even if she didn’t want him, but... would she not want their child either?

As Yancy Shaw finished his words, a look of shock flashed across Sherry’s face.

He just said, Nathaniel lost his mother the day he was born...

Her body trembled slightly, she lowered her head and stared at the child in front of her for a long while, yet her heart suddenly tightened.

"Mr. Shaw, this child’s mother..." she bit her lip and asked Yancy Shaw.

"After he was born, she jumped into the river..." speaking of this matter, a painful expression surfaced on Yancy Shaw’s face.

Jumped into the river...

After he finished speaking, Sherry suddenly felt a tightness in her throat, her heart seemed as if it was suddenly gripped tightly by someone.

It hurt so much...

She gently shook her head, her face full of disbelief!

Her child was dead, she remembered he was dead, she had even touched his icy body... it was truly cold, cold to the bone...

This child in front of her, not hers! Definitely not hers!

Just as she froze there, her mind in chaos, the long-lost memories making her eyes soaked, Yancy Shaw’s voice came again.

"When he was born, he was taken away by villains, they wanted to trade him for my wife’s life, of course, I refused, so... I arranged for someone to make my wife believe the child had died..." Yancy Shaw looked at her, speaking slowly.

Upon hearing this, the expression on Sherry’s face changed drastically again, her hands by her side trembled uncontrollably due to intense emotion.

Seeing this, a bitter smile appeared on Yancy Shaw’s face, and he continued speaking.

"But what I never expected was that in her desperation, my wife ruthlessly jumped into the river..."

He used the words "ruthlessly"... to him, she was indeed too ruthless.

She thought the child was gone, and wouldn’t even want him, jumping into the river without a second thought...

He hated her for being so ruthless to him, hated her for using such means to torment him.

But... more than hate, he loved her more.

So, during those years he thought she was dead, the reason he didn’t go searching for her in heaven was the knowledge of how important this child was to her!

Back then, he fought with all his might, giving everything to bring the child back, just because he knew how important that child was to her, thus he endured the excruciating pain in his heart, forcing himself to live on, raising the child and planning everything for his future.

But... he couldn’t face that child, couldn’t face the child born on the same day she died.

Sometimes he even thought, if it weren’t for this child, would she have... never left him.

Precisely because of this, he didn’t dare to see that child, didn’t dare to see the child who somewhat resembled her as a child...
