My Sweet Wife

Once in the study, Old Lora handed Larissa a letter after sitting in a chair.

“This is the letter that was in the child’s swaddling clothes when we received the child today.”

Hearing Old Lora say this, Larissa became more and more puzzled. A letter in the child’s swaddling clothes, as if she didn’t need to read it. At this moment, she heard Old Lora say, “The child’s mother’s name is Ewenny. you know Ewenny, she is your best friend. She sent the child to The Lora family.”

Ewenny’s baby?

Larissa reached for the letter that sat on top of the table and her eyes fell on it, there weren’t more than a few lines in total:

“Please Brother Nathanael, you must take care of the child. I wouldn’t leave the child in your care if I didn’t have to. I don’t want to disturb you and Larissa’s life, but the child can’t be left unattended. When some time passes, I will go to the country to pick up the child.”

Larissa looked at the letter and then to Old Lora, “So that child was born to Nathanael Lora by Ewenny?”

“I know this kind of thing is hard for you to accept, it would be hard for anyone else.” Old Lora looked at Larissa with understanding.

Larissa found it a little baffling that with just a letter, and not a single word written on it saying that the child was Nathanael Lora’s, she wondered why Old Lora and Nathanael’s mother had decided that it was.

She looked down again and skimmed the letter again to make sure it didn’t say that Nathanael Lora was the father of the child, she looked over at Old Lora and spoke, “Have you taken the child for a paternity test yet?”

“That is not yet, I will take the child for a paternity test when Nathanael returns.” After a pause, Old Lora then said with certainty, “However, the mother of the child, Ewenny and Nathanael’s past, I know all about it.”

“If the child is not Nathanael’s, then why would Ewenny give the child to us, The Lora family?”

Listening to Old Lora say this in her ears, Larissa was also feeling puzzled.

Why did Ewenny send the child to The Lora family and write to Nathanael Lora to take care of the child?

Old Lora was still talking, “And Nathanael used to be in love with Ewenny. he wanted to marry you and he didn’t mean it. I saw it when he got engaged, and at the engagement, when he tried to leave without you, I sent someone to check on him and found out about Ewenny.”

“So you said the engagement was off, didn’t inform us The Lora family, embarrassed The Lora family so much, and I forgave you because I knew you’d always been the one hurt.”

After a pause, Old Lora frowned and her expression became stern, “It just seems like lately, Nathanael has taken a liking to you again.”

So for something like this to happen, it left Old Lora wondering how to figure them out.

“Give me a straight answer today, do you still want to be with Nathanael?” Without waiting for Larissa to answer, Old Lora added, “If you stay with Nathanael, you will have to accept this child and declare to the public that this child was born to you. I do not want this child to be spoken of later because of its birth.”

Old Lora said these words, but Larissa did not listen too attentively because she was bent on finding out whether this child was born to Nathanael Lora by Ewenny or not.

Ewenny had not heard from Ewenny for more than a year from the time she left the country, until now.

Unexpectedly after more than a year, today she heard the name Ewenny again, but it was actually because of her child.

Only after half a minute did Larissa look at Old Lora and spoke, “Grandpa, I can’t give you an answer right now.” This matter, she had not even figured out what was going on, where could she promise Old Lora to be the mother of Ewenny’s child?

Not getting an answer from Larissa, Old Lora had a hint of displeasure on her face, “Those who want to marry into my The Lora family, and want to be my The Lora family’s granddaughter-in-law, then you must accept this child.”

“Of course, if you don’t want to accept it, I won’t force you to be The Lora family’s daughter-in-law.”

This was considered to be putting words in her mouth, if Larissa could not accept the child, then she could not marry Nathanael Lora, he, Old Lora, would not accept her.

Old Lora finished his sentence and when Larissa didn’t say anything, he gathered some of the anger on his face, “I understand that it is difficult for you to agree to all of this, but I can’t allow the children and grandchildren of my The Lora family to be strayed from the world either.”

In fact, as soon as he had seen the boy today, when he had read the letter and guessed that the boy was his great-grandson, he had thought about bringing Ewenny to The Lora family, but his daughter-in-law had stopped him and told him to wait until Nathanael Lora returned in the evening.

“I hope you understand.”

Larissa had a warm and submissive smile on her face, “I understand that you’re getting older, Grandpa, and you’ve been wanting great grandchildren for a long time.”

The old man is old, this year is more than ninety years old, even if Old Lora said something excessive, Larissa will not go to a cold face, moreover, she will not say anything to contradict the old man. She was also afraid that the old man would get angry and have some problems, so she could only go along.

“It’s good that you understand.” Old Lora nodded with satisfaction, and the anger on her face disappeared completely.

At this moment, downstairs in The Lora family.

As soon as Nathanael Lora entered the house, he saw Nathanael’s mother coaxing her child to eat milk, he didn’t care and casually asked, “Mom, where did the child come from in the house?”

Nathanael’s mother looked at him with a smile on her face, “You’re asking me? I was waiting for you to come back and ask you!”

“Lucy, what’s going on with this kid? Is it because of this child that you called me today and asked me to come back early today with Nathanael?” Nathanael’s father was looking at the child with amazement.

“Uh-huh.”

“Then why didn’t you make it clear on the phone? Is dad waiting impatiently? If you’d have made it clear to me, I would have gotten Nathanael back first.”

Nathanael’s father was a great dutiful son, and the family deferred to Old Lora on everything.

Nathanael Lora, who had just taken off his suit jacket and handed it to the maid, heard such a conversation between his mom and dad, Nathanael Lora was still very confused.

He walked towards Nathanael’s mother and heard Nathanael’s mother say, “This is the child’s mother is Ewenny, she sent the child to The Lora family, didn’t she tell you beforehand?”

Nathanael’s mother also felt strange and asked casually.

Ewenny’s!

Still quite surprised, Nathanael Lora looked at the boy, “Yes I was told. But …”

But on the phone, Ewenny didn’t say anything about sending the child to the country, to his home. He thought Ewenny wanted him to come to Canadian to help her take care of the child. He thought about helping Ewenny find a nanny who would be responsible for taking care of the child and tried to call and talk to Ewenny, but Ewenny never answered the phone.

“Told you! This is really great.” Nathanael’s mother was thrilled and jubilant, handing the child to a servant, “What did she tell you? Did she tell you who the father of this child is?”

“She just asked me to help take care of the child, saying that she just worked recently and couldn’t find the time to take care of the child. As for the child’s father,…,” said Nathanael Lora, knit his brows, he thought about the father of this child, afraid that even Ewenny does not know who is.

Seeing that Nathanael Lora didn’t say anything, Nathanael’s mother then spoke again, “Nathanael, Ewenny never let us know when she had this child. You must not have known either, or you would not have failed to bring the child back.”

“This Ewenny hid the child from you, if she hadn’t been unable to take care of the child, she wouldn’t have sent the child to us, The Lora family, and asked you to take care of the child. It seems she is planning to take care of the child alone. Surely she will come and take the child back.”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

The more he listened to what Nathanael’s mother was saying, the stranger Nathanael Lora became, if he heard correctly, his mother seemed to think the child was his.

He lifted his lips and before he could make a sound, he heard Nathanael’s mother speak again, “Nathanael, do something, you must keep this child!”

She also wanted a grandchild, especially at her age, even when she took the time to do beauty treatments and play mahjong with her friends, all she heard people talk about was grandchildren, so she was overjoyed to see this child today.

So, no matter what, she had to keep her own grandson with her to look after him.

“Mom, this child is not …”

Just at this time, Old Lora came down from upstairs and Nathanael’s father came forward to greet, “Dad.”

Old Lora saw Nathanael Lora, “Nathanael, you’re back. Walk to dinner.”

Nathanael Lora stood still and looked at Old Lora and Nathanael’s mother with a serious face, “Grandpa, mom, this child is not mine.”

“What?!” Old Lora couldn’t believe it.

Although he hadn’t done a paternity test yet, he had already made up his mind in his heart that this child was his great-grandson.

“Not yours? If the child is not yours, why would Ewenny give the child to our house for you to take care of?” Nathanael’s mother asked in disbelief.

She had been happy a while ago, but now her mood was like a roller coaster ride because of what her own son had said, and she had instantly fallen to the bottom.

Old Lora looked at Nathanael Lora, “Nathanael, your grandfather and I are not old and confused. I know all about your previous affair with Ewenny. You hid from me what you had with Ewenny before and now you want to hide from me about the baby?”

“I’m telling the truth, this baby is not mine.” Nathanael Lora’s voice was sure and determined.

Nathanael’s mother was convinced that her son would not lie to her, but she still muttered in her heart, holding on to her last glimmer of hope, “Nathanael, didn’t you just say that you don’t know who the father of this child is?”

“Ewenny didn’t tell you the child was yours, so you don’t know the child is yours.”

Old Lora also wanted that child to be his grandson, and likewise had the same doubts as Nathanael’s mother. Whose child was this that would be given into the care of a man who was not the father of the child?

Nathanael’s father, who hadn’t been lying, stood next to him and spoke up at that moment, “Dad, Lucy, since neither of you believe Nathanael, let’s arrange for a paternity test to be done on the child and Nathanael.”

Nathanael’s father was convinced of his son, and he made the offer in order to convince them all.
