A Journey from Bitterness to Truth (Matilda and Yvan) novel Chapter 605

Yvan's question was met with Adrian's mocking chuckle. Arms crossed and eyes narrow, Adrian stared back at Yvan, "So what if Matilda is single now? What's stopping me from pursuing her?"

Yvan felt a wave of irritation crash through him at Adrian's retort, frowning deeply, "Don't act like I'm clueless about the cruise ship fiasco."

Adrian's expression froze momentarily before he lowered his voice, "And what about it?"

"Matilda didn't expose you, did she?"

Yvan locked eyes with the man before him, his voice low, "She was protecting your reputation."

Adrian scoffed, "That just shows she cares about me. Besides, I gave you a chance back then, didn't I? It was me who jumped in to save her first."

Yvan couldn't argue with that; it had been his oversight.

After a moment of silence, Yvan looked at Adrian again, "If you're really planning on taking Lynn in, have you thought about the kind of life you're going to give her?"

Adrian remained quiet, his voice hoarse after a pause, "I don't know, I really don't."

If Lynn truly was his and Rachel's child, he wasn't sure if he could open his heart to her. Despite the child's innocence, the thought of her carrying half of Rachel's genes sent shivers down his spine.

Adrian couldn't imagine what kind of face to show Lynn in the future.

Knowing the turmoil within Adrian, Yvan stood up, "Well, in that case, I'll be going."
