Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 2719

My heart was heavy as I stepped through the gates of Yard Mansion again. Every step I took felt like my feet had been chained like it took a lot from me just to move them.

Sylvester was standing at the door to greet me. When he saw me, his face broke into a smile.

"I knew you would come."

"You'd better not play any tricks."

I was not deceived by his smile. It looked to me like nothing more than a disguise.

Sylvester shrugged, the expression on his face seemed harmless. "Don't worry. We don’t have that many tricks to play. You can leave immediately after you understand what happened. Come with me."

I followed Sylvester to the study.

The place looked the same as it did before.

Pushing open the door and entering, I caught the scent of sandalwood.

Silas was in his chair. He looked in our direction when he heard us and he pointed to the seat opposite him, motioning for me to sit down.

I made my way over and sat down. "Let’s hear it."

"What do you want to know?"

"Didn’t you say there was some truth to my mother's death? I only care about that,” I said bluntly.

Silas closed his eyes when I brought it up as if he was recalling a very painful thing.

My brows furrowed as I waited for his response.

Looking like he finally recollected himself, Silas opened his eyes. "You did your own investigation. You looked into what happened the night before Millie jumped off the mountain."

"I did but that was later proved to be false." I shook my head.

"No, that's the truth." Silas's eyes widened all of a sudden.
