Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us! novel Chapter 68

Knowing that Finneas was still mad, Megan gently rubbed her swollen cheek and shed tears in a bitter manner. Ever since the bridegroom gave her a slap during the wedding, she was shamefully known to be the most miserable bride among the rich. Therefore, sustaining her marriage became her only way to protect her status and shush the critics at the same time. I must pull myself together and make this work!

At the thought of that, Megan took out a small vial and took a pill out of it. When Finneas exited the bathroom, she caringly gave him a glass of water. Feeling thirsty after a whole night of drinking, the man took the glass and guzzled down the liquid in it.

After that, Finneas sat on the bed with the same gloomy and solemn expression on his face and asked, “Answer me. Back when you told me Selena had an affair, did you plan all that? You fooled her into making out with a man whom she thought was me. Then, you fabricated a story and fed me your lies about her unfaithful act, didn’t you?”

In fact, Finneas had smelled a rat the moment he heard Selena’s words during the wedding earlier that day. When I was younger back then, I was blinded by Megan’s plausible meek nature so much that I believed her every word without question. It was only later that I realized it didn’t seem right to me that Selena would have an affair. After all, apart from bedroom stuff she obeyed my wishes. Therefore, it’s unimaginable that she’d sleep with another man behind my back!

Megan stared at Finneas in shock. “How could you suspect me, Finneas?!”

“Who else could it be besides you? Selena is a timid introvert who will never have an affair!”

“What you’ve seen all the time is nothing but her facade! In fact, she always flirted with boys when she was younger. Then, when she was with you, she continued making dirty jokes with other men behind your back. Open your eyes and see through her!” Megan yelled despite the guilt that was haunting her deep down.

Meanwhile, Finneas soon felt thirsty, staring at Megan as his body began to grow warmer increasingly. Noticing the change in the man’s expression, the lady immediately leaned closer in a gentle manner before she was pinned down on the bed by Finneas.

As soon as the drug kicked in, both of them proceeded to share an intimate moment in bed. After that, Finneas dozed off while Megan lay down beside him and caressed his cheeks. Nonetheless, the lady soon heard Finneas murmur something that would leave her eyes widened in horror. “Selena… Selena…”

In the meantime, Selena helped dry Juniper’s hair after bathing her, while the latter had her eyes glued to her mother until she was carried into the bed. “Mommy, can you sleep with me tonight?”

Selena gazed at Juniper and rubbed her head. “Sure.” Then, she settled her work in hand and buried herself underneath the little girl’s blanket. Soon, Juniper lay down facing her mother and asked, “Mommy, I know where I’m from.”

Selena was stunned by the little girl’s response. In fact, the reason behind what she did earlier that day was to let Juniper know about her origin. Worried that mere words would arouse her daughter’s suspicion, she decided to speak up during the wedding in order to implicitly convey her message to Juniper.

“You don’t know who my daddy is, do you?” Juniper’s gaze seemed so pure and innocent, as she was not affected by the matter in any way at all. Instead, she was more worried about her own mother.

Selena reacted with a nod. “You’re right. I don’t know who your daddy is, but I used to think that Finneas was your father until I subsequently found out I was wrong. So, I can’t answer your question for the time being, and I’m sorry about that, Juniper.”
