Chapter 867 You Go Too Far (1/2)

David turned serious, and his eyebrows frowned tightly after hearing his son's doubts. ”Dylan, of course you are my son. Can you tell me who told you that?”

David had never planned to tell Dylan the secret since the day he decided to treat Dylan as his own son. David thought that Dylan was not old enough to hear the truth and that Dylan should not get involved in the disputes between Rita and him. Even if Dylan was not his biological son, he would still treat Dylan as his own son and didn't want to hurt him as they had formed a deep relationship with each other.

No matter what happened between Rita and David, Dylan was innocent and didn't deserve such mental trauma. David felt sorry for Dylan and hated the person who had so deliberately revealed the secret to his son.

Dylan became frightened by his father's darkened expression and shook his head quickly. ”No one told me, dad. I overheard it when you quarrelled with mom last night,” Dylan confessed in a lower voice.

David regretted that he and Rita had quarrelled so loudly last night, and that they had ignored the fact that Dylan was home and may have heard their talking. He tried to pretend that it was not true and comforted Dylan in a soft voice, ”Dylan, it's nonsense. Why do you doubt the fact that you are my son? It was just some angry words during our disagreement. You know both your mom and I had lost control at that time. I am so sorry that it has brought such troubled thoughts to you. Son, never doubt our blood relationship, okay? We are family. Well, finish your breakfast now and then go to school. You don't want to be late.”

”Dad, I... Well, thank you. I hope you and mom won't disagree with each other again. And I... Nothing important. Forget it!” Dylan hesitated and seemed to want to ask more, but he finally gave up. Actually, his father's persuasion hadn't worked on him. He didn't eat much breakfast and then left for school.

David didn't notice the change in Dylan's expression and he wrongly thought that Dylan had believed him. Now all David thought about was Rita. He wasn't proud of his behaviour and actions last night. Too much alcohol and his fears of being abandoned by her had brought out a dark side to his personality. He didn't know how to face Rita when she woke up.

If she still insisted to leave, what he would do with her then?

No matter what she said and how she begged, he would not let her leave him.

Rita finally woke up around noon. She found herself lying on the bed, and her bruised body ached all over. She remembered what had happened last night! David had been like a monster and he had treated her so violently! His torment of her had lasted a long time, and he didn't stop no matter how much she had screamed in pain or begged of him.

The terrible memory of last night left Rita feeling angry. What did she really mean to David? Was she just a tool for him to satisfy his lust? David was really a bastard! She hated him now!

At the thought of it, Rita clutched the quilt firmly with her trembling hands, and tears rolled down from her eyes. Suddenly, the door opened, and David came in with a bowl of porridge in his hand.

”Are you awake? I brought you some light food,” David said calmly, as if nothing had happened between them.

Rita couldn't stand David's hypocritic

o you think that you are gonna stop me from leaving by using this wicked method? Don't you even think about it! I won't let you get away with this!”
