Three years.
The years had left traces on her face, but they only made her become more youthful and beautiful.
Patrick seemed to have forgotten how to breathe.
To the side, Linda said with surprise, “Mireya, it’s really you. You’re back! We were quite worried about you when the incident before happened. Are you okay?”
Patrick froze.
Yes, now he remembered. Three years ago, there was news that she had seduced Thomas Neeson and angered him. Thomas then forcibly broke into her house and defiled her. Photos of her covered in bruises had also been posted on the internet.
Soon afterward, there was news that she went abroad in her miserable state.
His eyes were suddenly filled with disgust and disappointment.
Mireya naturally did not miss the change of expression in his eyes and laughed. “Linda, you’re rubbing salt into my wounds as soon as I return home. You’re still as amazing as ever.”
Linda’s face changed slightly as she pretended to cover her mouth, looking as though she was full of guilt. “I’m sorry—”
“Don’t apologize,” Patrick said coldly, “Since you dared to do those things, why are you afraid of it being mentioned by others?”
Mireya raised her eyebrows and tilted her head. This was the man she had once been deeply in love with. However, just because of the false news, he would rather believe in Tomas’ lie than her.
Cate could not hold back. “Patrick Jackson, Mireya was with you for so long yet you still don’t know her well enough?”
“I know her too well. When she was downstairs at your company, she kissed another man in front of me. It’s clear that her lifestyle has become unruly after she came to the capital,” Patrick said with disdain.
“Patrick, don’t say that.” Linda sighed. “Mireya might have been trying to provoke you back then. Thomas Neeson is the president of the Neeson Corporation, after all. She might have been trying to find someone with higher status to show you, but it ended up… backfiring. However, Mireya, I want to remind you. Next time you look for a man, you still have to take into account his character.”
Mireya wanted to roll her eyes in disgust. “You’re right. I didn’t look at the man’s character when finding my first love. Back then, I said that the childhood friend who kept pestering him was definitely interested in him, but he didn’t believe me. Look now. They really did end up getting together.”
Lucas suddenly said, “Are you talking about both of them?”
“Yep.” Mireya bent down and said, “I told my first love about it but he blamed me for overthinking. Sigh, now that I think about it, I really went too far. I should’ve left sooner. Instead, I ended up delaying a certain someone’s romantic relationship for so many years. I’m such a horrible person.”
The colors on Patrick and Linda’s faces changed continuously.
Linda bit her lip and said guiltily, “Mireya, you’ve misunderstood. Believe it or not, I really didn’t have any feelings for Patrick back then, but after you left, I felt that he was quite tragic. Later, when I took care of him, I couldn’t help but fall in love with him.”
“Tragic?” Mireya was stunned.
“Wasn’t I? I was cheated by a hypocritical woman like you for so many years,” Patrick said with a hateful tone.
“I…”
Mireya was so shocked that her brain was all messed up.
What the f*ck. Who were these people?
“I was also quite blind to have wasted so many years of my life with a disgusting man like you. Back then, how did I ever think that you were gentle and modest? I was completely blind.”
Mireya could not be bothered to pay attention to them anymore and took Lucas’ hand to walk away.
“Wait, is that your child?” Patrick stared coldly.
Mireya wanted to admit that he was her child, but Lucas spoke up before her, “She’s my aunt. My aunt has many men who are chasing after her, so scumbags like you should get lost.”
Mireya almost applauded when she saw Patrick’s smug face.
However, Linda said, “I never heard news of Forrest marrying. Is he your illegitimate son? You’re lying and saying that he’s your brother’s…”
“Oh my, are you psychic? My lifestyle is so wretched, so it’s normal for me to have one or two illegitimate children,” Mireya grinned and mocked.
However, Patrick’s face changed dramatically. “He’s really your illegitimate son?”
“Idiot,” Lucas mocked, “If you believe everything a woman says, why don’t you just go and eat sh*t too?”
“I dare you to say another word.” Patrick was repeatedly provoked by the small child and pointed at Lucas.
“Just try and lay a hand on him.” Mireya grabbed his wrist.
Patrick, who was taller than her, was surprised by the pain in his arm.
He glared at Mireya, but she only looked at him with a hint of ridicule. He slightly fell into a trance when he remembered that she had always used to look at him with adoration.
His heart suddenly ached.
“Patrick Jackson, I hope that when we meet again next time, you won’t even say hello. People say that first loves are beautiful, but I find you as disgusting as a fly.”
Mireya let go of his hand and left with Cate.
When they left, Patrick continued to look at her back view. He clearly hated her, but all these years, he had never managed to erase her from his heart.
“Patrick, are you okay?” Linda hurriedly came over and held his hand, taking a closer look at him.
“It’s nothing.” Patrick was absent-minded.
When Linda saw him like this, she secretly gritted her teeth.
…
In the car.
Cate pointed out meaningfully, saying, “Patrick kept staring at you when we left.”
“So what?” Mireya looked out of the window. “After that incident, everyone scolded me and I was detested. This ex-boyfriend of mine also sent me a message saying that I have no self-respect.”
“Pfft.”
“You’re laughing?” Mireya’s eyes widened.
“No, I’m just thinking about how we’ve both suffered the same thing. We both encountered scumbags,” Cate lamented thoughtfully.
“No, you met two scumbags, but I only met one. The next one definitely won’t be.” Mireya denied vehemently. She refused to be that unlucky.
“Okay, I hope you’ll end up better than me,” Cate said sincerely.
“Mommy, Godmother, don’t worry. If you can’t find a good man in the future, I’ll protect you,” Lucas said lazily.
“My Lucas is such a sweet little man.” Cate hugged him and gave him a kiss, making his ears turn red.
“Mommy, Mommy, I want one too.” Suzie came over and also wanted a kiss.
Cate did not take them back to Hackett Institute and went to eat supper in the capital first.
The two little ones were not afraid of spicy food and ate until their bellies were round.
Suzie lifted her little red and oily mouth, saying, “I finally understand why Godmother always talks about the hot wings here. They’re too good. I never want to go back to the US again. I want to stay here and eat hot wings.”
“… You can’t.” Cate felt her heart ache.
“I don’t want to go back either,” Lucas said with a cool face, “I can’t rest assured if you’re here alone.”
The adult-like tone made Cate laugh, but she then said seriously, “You can’t. The fact that you’re children of the Lyons family can never be revealed. Your scumbag father will snatch you back even if he doesn’t love you.”
“Yeah,” Mireya said, “Your mommy is amazing now, but your scumbag dad is very ruthless.”
