Chapter 484: He Is Your Real Father
“Pa pa…” Yuan Yuan called out once again when he saw that Ye Hao was not responding.
Ye Hao finally looked at the camera and waved at Yuan Yuan as he said, “Yuan Yuan, what a good boy you are!”
Yuan Yuan was extremely excited and waved his arms excitedly. He did not notice that his biological father’s face had darkened and that his eyes had grown cold with rage and conflicted emotions.
Mo Yixuan’s expression darkened even more as he looked at the man in the video. He suddenly turned his face away and also s.h.i.+fted his body so that he no longer had to look at the camera.
This scene made him extremely upset and he felt so upset that it was like a dust cloud had entered his eyes.
That was the woman he loved, his ex-wife. Yet, she was now sitting beside another man and that man was even wearing pajamas.
This scene was an eyesore and he couldn’t bear to stare at it any longer.
“Alright, Yuan Yuan. Let’s continue speaking to your mother tomorrow. She needs to rest.”
After a while, Mo Yixuan walked over and disconnected the video call.
Yuan Yuan immediately pouted when he saw that the screen had gone black and that he could no longer see his mother. He seemed both disappointed and miserable.
“Pa pa…” he said softly.
Mo Yixuan picked him up, removed the child’s jacket and tucked him under the covers.
“It’s time for bed, Yuan Yuan. Go to sleep and don’t get out of bed. I’ll take a shower first.”
Mo Yixuan only entered the bathroom to shower after he checked that the doors and windows were locked.
In the castle.
He Xiyan stared at her black phone screen as she sat on the sofa. She only put her phone back on the tea table after she stared at it for a long while.
She seemed a little dejected and she continued to sit in a daze on the sofa until an arm wrapped around her shoulders. Then, she turned around and saw her husband who sat next to her.
Ye Hao pulled his wife into his embrace and hugged her tightly. He did not let her resist his embrace.
He was surprised and pleased when she remained quietly in his embrace and no longer brushed his hands off coldly as she did before.
“Yan Yan…” Ye Hao called out her name. Their relations.h.i.+p had remained in this icy state for almost a month and they barely exchanged more than ten words in a day.
He Xiyan nodded and the corners of her lips turned up as she shot him a faint smile.
“Ye Hao, there’s no need to blame yourself for everything that happened.” He Xiyan gently patted his hand after a while.
She had already figured it out and realized that men would never treat their non-biological children as their own. Her expectations had been too high and she had been far too naive in her thinking.
Yuan Yuan was not Ye Hao’s child and he was not obligated to treat him as his own, neither was he obligated to help her fight for custody of her child.
She had expected too much from him and placed far too much weight on his so-called promises.
She had made the wrong decision to live in the castle with Yuan Yuan, so she had to live with the consequences.
Ye Hao pursed his lips into a wry smile. Her words made him feel even more guilty and disappointed.
He felt terrible when Yuan Yuan called him ‘pa pa’ earlier. He was not a good father and he had abandoned that child, so he no longer had any right to expect Yuan Yuan to call him ‘father’.
He was even starting to regret his decision to give up custody of Yuan Yuan. After Yuan Yuan entered the Mo family, cracks had formed in his marriage and Mo Yixuan had even seized this chance to keep in touch with Yan Yan.
