Chapter 600
Mikaela suddenly became a little excited.
She coldly said, “Reynaldo will not be happy with you; he will be happier with Kimberly. They complement each other in personality, while you two are too similar, which is simply not suitable. I don’t want to make things difficult for you, and I won’t treat you unfairly. I gave you a large sum of money, a wealth that you can’t spend in your lifetime. As long as you give birth to the child and then transfer custody to Kimberly…”
“Hahaha…”
I couldn’t help it anymore and started to laugh coldly.
“I respected you as Reynaldo’s mother, so I tried my best to please you, but you still wanted me to give up my own child for Kimberly. You are also a mother. I really can’t understand how you could have such thoughts. Also, have you ever thought about Reynaldo’s feelings when you asked me to give the child to Kimberly? You hurt your own son and your future grandson just for your own peace of mind, and to repay the kindness of Mr. Palmer. You are really selfish, really scared…”
“You, you… I told you to shut up!” Mikaela pointed at me excitedly and then suddenly covered her mouth, coughing.
I stared at her with my eyes red. The flattery these days really “went to the dogs.” She insisted on setting up Reynaldo with Kimberly, and now she even has her eye on my baby. It was really heart-wrenching.
Mikaela coughed and then suddenly covered her face and started crying. I looked at her coldly, not knowing what tricks she was playing again. She covered her face and cried sadly for a while, then wiped her tears, looking at me with a mournful expression, finally losing the sharp momentum she had just had.
She said, “I always wanted my son to be happy, and I always hoped that my future grandson would have a happy family. But this is our debt to the Palmer family; Reynaldo had a responsibility to take care of Kimberly. Ms. Duffy, I’ll be honest with you, Kimberly has that illness, the situation wasn’t very optimistic, and I don’t know how long she could live. Just pity her and let Reynaldo go first. After she left this world, no one will care about what you and Reynaldo do. Just grant me this favor, give Reynaldo to her.”
I sneered in my heart. It seems that since she was being tough, she started to be soft.
I said expressionlessly, “This matter should be discussed with Reynaldo to see if he is willing. Also, it’s not ‘you guys’ who owe the Palmer family; it’s you, just you alone, who owes the Palmer family. And this debt of gratitude you owe should not be repaid by me or Reynaldo.”
Mikaela pursed her lips, her expression becoming more sorrowful.
I said to her firmly, “No matter what you say today, I will not give Reynaldo to Kimberly, let alone let my child be adopted by Kimberly. Those were the grudges of your previous generation, and it had nothing to do with us.”
Mikaela’s shoulders shrugged slightly, and she instantly lost some of her momentum. She sighed, sadness evident in her tone.
“Well, anyway, I won’t live much longer. I have also tried my best to fight for Kimberly, but I really can’t break you up. I can’t do anything about it.”
Upon hearing her words, I suddenly understood. It seems that since that night, Kimberly has been crying and pleading in front of Mikaela, asking Mikaela to intervene and help her get Reynaldo back.
