Chapter 182: "It's All Misunderstanding!"

So...those female baby necessities were just because dad longed for a baby daughter? 

Mom thought that he's having an affair with his old love and they got a baby daughter somewhere outside of the family! 

Isn't this precisely why mom got so depressed that she chose to become the sacrifice for Chronos's time-turning magic? 

When Finley recalled his mom's last words, and then it all turned out to be a petty misunderstanding, he suddenly flared up. 

"Dad. Ainsley isn't your daughter. You don't need to care about her. Me alone is enough." Finley spat out cold words in a spur of the moment. 

He's already an adult inside, but with his body being a child, sometimes, he would also show childish behaviour like

now. 

Evan, who was still engrossed in imagining what Ainsley looked like, immediately snapped out of his daze. He was quite sensitive, and he felt that his son...was angry at him. 

"Uh...yeah, I know she's not my daughter. She's just the granddaughter of an old friend. That's why I'm curious." Evan coughed to hide his embarrassment. 

How could he tell his son that he actually longed for a baby daughter? Wouldn't that hurt his son's feelings? 

"Oh, and I'm curious because this Ainsley...seems to be a genius. Isn't it?" Evan put on his poker face once more, afraid that his sensitive son would discover something wrong with him, but Finley had already done. 

The boy ignored Evan's words and glared at the hot daddy instead. 

"Dad. Tell me. Do you want to have a baby daughter? Is that why you...you store a lot of female baby necessities near your bedroom?!" 

Finley abruptly stood up and raised his voice. In the living room where the servants were nowhere to be seen, only the father, the son, and a fairy remained to have a conversation. 

The boy's heart-wrenching voice rang throughout the room, startling both the cold-blooded father and the mysterious fairy. 

"...Fin..?" Evan's voice softened as he looked at his son. His son was currently glaring at him as if he's a sworn enemy. 

"No. Don't call me. Just answer me first. Am I right, Mr Walter?" Finley crossed his arms and stood still. The way he addressed his father also changed. 

He seemed to be...in a rage…

Of course, he would be. He always thought that his mom chose to die because she didn't love dad and couldn't bear to live in a cold-blooded mafia family because her mafia family was rather slacking and easy-going. 

But if it didn't turn out to be like that….

If it turned out because mom loved dad so much and then she thought he's having an affair with another woman...the woman whom he genuinely loved before they got into a political marriage…

If that's the case, he had to smack his dad and made him repent! 

Facing his son's sudden outburst, Evan knew that it's not time to talk about Ainsley whatsoever. 

If he didn't solve this problem now, it might become a thorn inside his son's heart and hindered his psychological growth in the future. 

"...okay, I admit it. I want a baby daughter." Evan let out a long sigh. But before Finley spoke, he cut in. 

"But, listen. It doesn't mean I hate you. And I also never pestered Cecile to bear me a baby daughter." Evan's voice sounded stiff, but his eyes were looking at Finley with full sincerity. 

"I know Cecile doesn't like me, and she only wants to bear one child. That's why I hid those female baby's necessities from her." Evan's gaze turned cloudy for a second. 

"I thought that my first child would be a daughter, and that's why I already bought a lot of things...but it turned out to be a boy– " 

"Wait, wait. Wait." Finley suddenly stopped his dad and went back to sit on the couch. The boy crossed his legs into a lotus position before glaring at his father. 

"Did you just say that mom hates you?" 

"Huh? Isn't it like that?" Evan let out a gasp. "She always avoids me, and whenever she meets me, she would tremble, cry, or faint." Evan shrugged slightly. 

"If she doesn't hate me, then what?" 

Finley, who had a belly full of complaints, suddenly became speechless. 

Yooo, old man, is your EQ that low? How come that becomes mom hating you? 

Isn't it clear that she's afraid of you? Afraid of your corpse-like expressions...and your cold-blooded nature? 

How come you said she's the one hating you? 

We always thought that it's you who hates her! 

Finley gulped and slowly began to tell his father what his mom said. When on the deathbed, mom said not to hate dad, and that she always loved him, but if he wanted to remarry after she died, it's fine. 

It's also OK to bring his illegitimate daughter to the family if he wanted to, as long as Finley's position as Walter's family heir remained unchanging. 

Finley told his story around 15 minutes, and after he's done, Evan already slumped on the sofa, looking like a slime. 

"Cecil...Cecil said that before she passed away?" Evan's face sank. His eyes revealed a deep grievance that Finley had never seen before. 

"Yeah, that's what she said." Finley nodded. Of course, he wouldn't tell dad that mom died because she volunteered to be the sacrifice of Chronos's magic. 

When she heard that Finley returned from the future and his future was terrible, she didn't hesitate to offer herself as the sacrifice. 

When Evan heard that his wife passed away with such a thought, he suddenly felt like crying. 

"Fin...it's all misunderstanding!"
