Chapter 49: Baby Daddy
: Baby Daddy
Killian's POV
"Since when?" I questioned. "Since when have you found out you're pregnant?"
My question hung in the air as the three fell silent. The three of them couldn't bring themselves to look at me anymore after their secrets were exposed.
I laughed bitterly as I turned my gaze away from them. "Now everything makes sense," I muttered.
It was out of nowhere when Astrid suddenly asked me for a divorce.
I couldn't figure out why Drystan would help Astrid and lie to me just for her when I'm his true family.
Now that I found out the big secret that they were trying to hide from me, everything finally made sense.
"Just how long?" I snapped. "How long have you been dating each other behind my back?"
Their gazes suddenly snapped back at me when they heard my question. I looked at each and every one of them, waiting for the first person who was going to answer my question, but they looked clueless as they stared at me.
They looked confused as if they couldn't understand my simple question.
I let out a breath and shook my head in disbelief. They are already exposed. Are they seriously still going to act dumb in front of me?
"How long have you been cheating on me, Astrid?" I demanded furiously.
Astrid looked at me wearily as the pain from the rejection slowly dissipated away. She looked at me with hurt in her eyes when she heard my question.
She's the one who cheated, but she had the audacity to feel hurt when I asked her why she cheated.
Drystan scoffed in disbelief. "Do you even know what the definition of cheating is, Killian? Cheating was when you fucked and impregnated someone else."
"Then, if that is so, let me reiterate my question. How long have you been fucking my own uncle behind my back?!" I shot back with my eyes on Astrid.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Drystan's face turned red in anger when he heard my question. At the same time, Astrid looked so abashed after she felt disrespected by my question.
Looking at Astrid's belly, it's obvious that she's been pregnant for so long. Her belly is almost the same size as Giselle's.
It only means that she was already pregnant before we even divorced.
It's impossible that I'm the father of her child. In our entire marriage, I never slept with Astrid, not even on the night of our wedding.
We never consummated our marriage, so how could I make Astrid pregnant?
It is the main reason why Astrid
never got pregnant. People made rumours that Astrid was barren, which is why she couldn't get pregnant; they had no idea that nothing just happened between us at all, which is why she couldn't get pregnant.
My mother always nagged at her because she failed to produce an heir. She hated her, thinking that she would end our bloodline because she was barren. Even my mother doesn't know that we never consummated our marriage.
“Tell me! Did it start during your 'family visits', or did it start way back before Astrid even found out that I'm his mate?!" I shouted at them, demanding
answers.
Before Drystan became the Alpha of
his own Pack, he worked as the commander of our Pack Warriors Pack. He used to be Astrid's teacher. He taught her everything about combat, which is why Astrid became the most powerful fighter in our Pack.
Astrid and Drystan used to be so close because of their teacher-student relationship. I had no idea that they had other relationships as well. When Drystan became Alpha and started to live far from us, he always came to our Pack for what he called 'family visits'. Something must always happen between them behind my back.
After all, how could Drystan make Astrid pregnant while we were still married?
"Watch your mouth, Killian. You are getting too far," Drystan shot back, making my lips curl.
In the end, of course, the answers to those questions don't matter. Astrid cheated. The date when that started doesn't matter. I'm only going to hurt myself by finding out the whole truth.
"You still know how to feel ashamed
after all! I wish you have thought about that while you were fucking my wife behind my back! You are my uncle trusted you, and I always welcomed you to our Pack. I wish you've thought about shame as you defiled yourselves."

"Yes! I am the father of Astrid's child. Are you happy now?!" Drystan yelled to shut me up.
My heart felt like it was stabbed a million times when I heard Drystan's confirmation. I knew that he was the father, but hearing that truth come out of his mouth greatly broke me.
I forced out a laugh, refusing to appear weak in front of them. Astrid cheated, but I'm not going to show her that I'm affected.
“An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. I guess we are even now. You cannot hold a grudge against me for what I've done," I spoke with an emotionless expression.
“That's right. Now that we have settled our scores, we should go our separate ways. Astrid doesn't need you anymore, so don't you bother her ever again," Drystan spoke firmly.
My body tensed at the thought of separating ways from Astrid forever. Once I leave now, I will no longer have any connection with her. I would no longer have any reason to meet her.
