Chapter 104 Do I Know You? Claudia no longer pressured her and handed her a business card, saying, “This is my contact information. Perhaps one day you will still need me.” Looking at the business card, the caregiver hesitated for a moment, but in the end, they gritted their teeth and accepted it. “You go.” Claudia looked at her. “Take care.” The caregiver’s face stiffened, and in the end, they quickly left. After she left, Claudia also left. This is the Lamont’s manor, and she didn’t want to stay here for long. Not long after leaving the villa, Claudia saw a child squatting in a corner, playing with ants. > Familiar little brat. Seeing him, Claudia didn’t even want to acknowledge him. She walked past as if she hadn’t seen him, but the little kid had already spotted her and ran over excitedly, saying, “Is it you?” He glanced at the Lamont’s manor behind her. However, Claudia completely ignored him. Abel angrily rushed over and said, “Stop, didn’t you see me?” Claudia glanced at him lightly and asked, “Do we know each other?” “Oh… so you want to pretend you don’t know me!” Abel ran over and grabbed her sleeve. “It doesn’t matter how you pretend, it’s useless. Even if you don’t know me, I know you.” When Claudia was proud, she brushed away his hand and quickly stepped back. Abel, in a moment of carelessness, ended up sitting on the ground. Looking at Claudia’s indifferent eyes, Abel’s mouth twitched and he suddenly burst into tears, saying, “You bully, you’re mean to me!” “Abel!” At the critical moment, a figure wearing a black cotton coat rushed over and helped him up, looking angrily toward Claudia. When he saw Claudia, his face froze. “Claudia, what are you doing here?”
When Claudia saw Cicely, she was also a little surprised. She looked at Abel, thinking about Rosalie’s words. She said that she and Edmond’s child were being taken care of by Cicely, is this annoying kid? Upon closer inspection of Abel, it’s no wonder she felt familiar at first glance. Those eyebrows and eyes, aren’t they just like Rosalie’s? And those thin lips and facial structure, they are simply identical to Edmond’s. Rosalie and Edmond had a five-year-old child, which was indeed true. Claudia sneered and looked at Cicely, saying, “You let me spare Rosalie before, was it for this child?” Cicely nodded with a bitter smile, “I couldn’t bear to see the child without a mother, especially since he is a descendant of the Lamont family.”
“He…” Claudia took a long time to regain her trembling voice, “Is he really Edmond and Rosalie’s child?” She wanted to confirm once again, to see if Edmond was truly beyond redemption. However, Cicely’s face stiffened for a moment, but quickly masked her distress and nodded reluctantly under her gaze. “Claudia, I’m sorry.” Sorry, sorry for what? I’m sorry for drugging her to have a relationship with Edmond, or I’m sorry for her siding with Rosalie? Originally, I thought that only Edmond would help Rosalie, but I didn’t expect that even her mother-in- law would stand on Rosalie’s side now. When my mother-in-law lost her memory, she didn’t get angry even if we hurt her, because at that time she didn’t have a complete memory. What about now? The Lamont family was completely unworthy of her attachment. She glanced at Abel and couldn’t say any more vicious words. Just the thought that he was Edmond and Rosalie’s child made her say one more sentence, as if she
was deliberately trying to make things difficult. She lowered her head and glanced at her belly, a quick glance, then she raised her head again, her eyes already clear. “You don’t have to apologize to me. Rosalie has already come out, but next time, she won’t be so lucky.” She looked at Abel, who was peeking out from behind Cicely, and sneered, “She committed a crime and ended up in jail, which is indeed cruel to her child. But when someone has a child and still chooses to engage in illegal activities, SELY shouldn’t the person who needs to reflect the most be herself?” “Losing a loved one is difficult for anyone…” “Losing my grandmother, I was also in pain!” Cicely listened to her words and froze. She turned her face away in shame, unable to look at Claudia’s expression. She knew her demands were unreasonable, but she had no choice. If she didn’t make any effort, Abel would definitely blame her when he grew up. She was the child’s grandmother, and it was her duty. As for the child’s identity, Abel must have been Edmond’s child, otherwise this child would have been an undocumented immigrant. She didn’t have much time left to live. In the past, she wasn’t afraid of death, but now, she wants to settle the matter with Abel before dying. Looking at Claudia, her gaze slowly shifted to Claudia’s belly. She noticed that Claudia’s clothes tended to be loose-fitting, and she was also wearing flat shoes when she saw her at the hospital last time. The speculation in my mind suddenly rushed into my brain. “Claudia, last time I saw you at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics for a check-up…” she paused, “are you pregnant?” It has been just over a month since the last incident, if there is… then this would be Edmond’s child.
Thinking of this, Cicely also became a little excited. As life is coming to an end, it would be without regrets if I could see my grandson before I die. Claudia looked at her without saying a word. She covered her stomach and smiled gently, “Yes, I am pregnant.” While they were chatting, Edmond was rushing over from outside. He has already finished dealing with the recent matter, and now he just wants to hurry up and get to Claudia’s side. He knew Claudia wouldn’t stay for long, and he also knew what Rosalie would say. But no matter what it was, he had to explain it to Claudia. He didn’t want her to misunderstand him. Just as he was walking in briskly, he happened to see Claudia and his own mother standing and talking. He was about to step forward when Claudia’s words lightly brushed past his ears. “I had a child.” Edmond was taken aback, and then his heart started pounding. Child, does she have children now? Although that day made him feel very embarrassed, he would often dream about it later on. This indicates that deep down, he didn’t actually reject this matter as much as he thought, but he still couldn’t get over it in terms of his pride. Unexpectedly, Claudia had a child just that one time. The calmness in his heart was instantly shattered by overwhelming joy. He thought that there was nothing in this world that could stir his emotions anymore, but now he realized he was wrong. He had a child! Edmond’s nose felt a bit sour, and he wished he could immediately hug her. Just as he was about to rush forward, Claudia’s indifferent voice sounded, “The child’s father is not Edmond.” Edmond’s feet froze, unable to retract the surprise on his face.

“The child is over two months old,” Claudia’s voice sounded like it came from hell, chilling him to the bone. Two months… The last time they had a relationship was less than two months ago. The child was indeed not his. Edmond’s fingers clenched tightly, his nails were short, but they pierced his palm, causing him to sweat profusely. Sure enough, she had an extramarital affair. The child was not his. Ha. At that moment, he didn’t even know who to hate. Claudia didn’t know that Edmond stood behind her, coldly fabricating lies. The child’s matter would eventually be exposed, but this child cannot be admitted into the Lamont family. There was a stepmother like Rosalie, and there was a mischievous older brother. She didn’t want her own child to live in such a family. The child in the belly could be anyone’s child, but it could never be the Lamont family’s child. Upon hearing her say that the child was not Edmond’s, Cicely was first shocked, then anger surged within her. She had just planned to question her why she had cheated, but before she could ask, she saw her own son standing nearby, and his expression suddenly changed. “Edmond, when did you come?” Edmond, Edmond? Claudia was taken aback, slowly turned around, and there stood a man whose aura was as cold as if he had come out of hell. His eyes were icy, and even a touch felt like falling into an ice cellar. His face was devoid of color, except for those deep eyes, which were terrifyingly red. Despite the faint sunlight, he seemed like a black hole, burying himself in the darkness.
