Chapter 872 It Is Impossible (2/2)
Mumbling curses at David, the kidnapper retreated to a shelter to put the papers in order and show them to his superiors. After putting everything in order, he took a few pictures of the papers with his phone and sent them to his boss before asking his subordinate to return them to David.
”I thought David would do anything f
s word, he hadn't known how to take care of others until he had met Rita. She was the only woman for whom he would do anything to win her favor. As for kids, he had no idea how to deal with them at all. That included his own crying son. David wiped Dylan's face, but his movements were awkward.
Dylan, however, was still unconvinced by his father's words. He blew his nose with the tissue David gave him and sniffed, ”But I saw your divorce papers! Why do you have it if you and Mom didn't divorce?”
Although Dylan was not old enough to understand the complexities of the adult world, he knew that when a couple got married, they would get a marriage certificate, and when they got separated, they would get a divorce certificate.
David was a little surprised to find just how much Dylan had grown up. He sighed and patiently said, ”Oh, boy! What will it take for you to believe me? It was a fake certificate used to trick the kidnapper.”
”Dylan, you know that I have no reason to lie to you. So believe me when I say that everything your father said to you is true. The divorce papers were fake. You should trust your dad,” said Jacob. ”Yes, Dylan. My dad is right! Why are you being so stubborn?” Beryl also chimed in.
In truth, Beryl, at first, had been shocked to hear that her Uncle David and Aunt Rita had gotten a divorce, but she was quickly able to put the puzzle pieces in the right places after listening to what David had to say.
”Is that true?” Dylan seemed doubtful.
Dylan was just as clever as Beryl and he could have come to the same conclusion as her without any problem. However, the moment his family was involved, he couldn't help being skeptical as he had once been lied to by David not too long ago.
”Of course it's true. Here are the divorce papers. Have a look and you'll find that they are completely fake. Take it!” David urged him as he took out the file and handed it to Dylan.
Dylan read through each paper carefully and tears rolled down his cheeks as he saw the names of his father and mother. ”You've lied to me again, Dad! Both of your names are in here,” Dylan argued angrily.
”My silly boy. Look at the birth dates! They are obviously wrong. It's a fake divorce certificate and it has no legal effect. You know our birth dates, right? Are you convinced now?” David said patiently as he pointed at the information on the page to Dylan.
