Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, Thomas was stunned.
Was that so?
Was he actually defending Emory?
However, Nathaniel ignored his thoughts and continued, "Do you know about the incident where Rainie fell down?"
"Yes, but I only knew it after Mrs. Ye told me. Look, I really didn't know about this previously."
Nathaniel was completely speechless upon hearing this response.
He sighed and said, "You didn't even know that your wife had fallen off from the rail. Do you really think you love her?"
"Mr. Ye, my feelings for Rainie are real. You know that I'm willing to do anything for her."
"That was in the past! What about right now? Rainie was injured and sent to the hospital. She called you, but Emory picked it up. It has been almost a month since Rainie was discharged from the hospital, but are you trying to say that you've just heard about it? Do you love her? Also, she just had an accident, and the culprit had resigned.
What's more, the remaining evidence is gone! Do you think it was a coincidence?"
Upon hearing his words, Thomas's eyes sank a little. There was emotions surging in within his heart as he clasped his hands tightly together.
He said, "Mr. Ye, I'm under a lot of pressure because of the child recently. I have to hide it from Rainie, and I also have to worry about Emory's health. It's really difficult to juggle everything that's ongoing right now."
"But who was the one whom caused this situation? Why did you hide it from Rainie and carry out the procedure yourself? Just because you longed for the child? In fact, you already knew that Rainie couldn't give birth to a child, so why did you marry her?"
Thomas bit his lower lip and said in a low voice," Actually, I never very much wanted a child in the past. However, Rainie had been increasingly focused on her work in the past two years, and I felt lonely every time I returned home from work. I thought that having a child would ease the isolation as they could become my companion. Rainie is a huge celebrity, and she has many fans. She wouldn't feel lonely, but I'm different. I'm just a married man! However, whenever I stay at home alone and look at the empty house, I'll always doubt if I'm married. I just hoped that the environment in the house would liven up with the addition of a new family member. Rainie enjoys her work, and I do support her. Besides, I never forced her since she couldn't have children, but why am I at fault now?"
After hearing this, Nathaniel didn't want to waste his time on Thomas anymore.
Thomas still didn't realize his mistakes, and he even complained that Rainie didn't care about her home!
However, Nathaniel also knew that there were some things that he should say right now to make him realize his mistake. In fact, this was something that Mango and Rainie would never tell him.
Urgh! Men were just stubborn at times.
He rubbed his forehead in frustration. Alas! He never knew that he would become a relationship consultant one day.
Nathaniel said lightly, "Thomas, you can tell her if you don't want her to work, but this is not a reason for you to hurt her."
"I didn't hurt her! What did I do? I tried my best to satisfy her needs wherever I can. What's wrong with me finding means to get a child since she can't give birth?" "But the child is not hers! You haven't asked for her consent, have you?"
Nathaniel raised his voice.
"Thomas, think about it from another perspective. Let's say you're infertile and Rainie uses her own egg to carry out in vitro fertilisation with another man's sperm. Will you accept it? Or can you accept it? Do you consider that your child?"
Thomas suddenly became speechless when he heard this.
Could he accept it?
Of course not!
How could he accept this?!
That was only Rainie's child, not his!
Why should he raise other people's child and treat it as his own?
