Chapter 313 Temptation of Robert
Chapter 313 Temptation of Robert
Hearing what Wesley said, Robert was astonished and angry.
"Has she done anything bad to you?" asked Robert worriedly, "Or has she ever hurt you?"
"No, except for last time when that madman wanted to attack me with a knife. I felt Mom pushed me. Most of the time, Mom was good to me. But our relationship was not as close as that between other children and their parents. I had to be as obedient as possible as I always felt that Mom didn't like me."
All of a sudden, Robert understood why Wesley chose him without hesitation when he asked Wesley to choose between Sierra and him last time.
It turned out that Sierra had long known that Wesley wasn't her own son.
'She deliberately took Wesley to me and has managed to be my savior in the past one year.'
"Can you keep what I've told you today a secret to anyone else, including your mom?" said Robert, "I want to figure out why your mom lies to us. I know it's not an easy job. If you can't do it, I'll arrange you to go abroad to attend an exchange activity held by the school."
Although Robert had decided to take Wesley away from Sierra if Wesley couldn't accept the fact or didn't trust him, he still hoped that Wesley could understand him as he didn't want to be separated from Wesley.
"I can do it, Dad. Last time Mom asked me to keep a secret too and I did a good job. You doesn't have to protect me all the time. I'm a big boy now and I'll protect you in the future too. As for Mom, maybe I've misunderstood her as she was good to me for most of the time."
"Then I'll take you home now. You can regard her as your adoptive mother. Once you find that there is anything wrong with her or she wants to hurt you, tell me at once and I'll come to protect you."
Wesley smiled and, instead of being sad, he was kind of relieved after knowing that Sierra wasn't his real mother.
'So it makes sense why she looked at me with hatred sometimes,' thought Wesley, 'and it's not my fault."
"Dad, since Aunt Sierra isn't my real mother, where is my mother? Is she finding me too? Does she miss me? As what I've watched on TV, those children who lost their mother miss their mother. So do I. I want to know where she is and what she looks like, and she must miss me too."
Hearing what Wesley said, Robert was sad as he couldn't probably provide Wesley with a complete family.
"I don't know who your mom is," said Robert, "as I've lost my memory. But I'm looking for her and I'll take you to her one day."
Hearing that, Wesley was disappointed as he longed to see his real mother.
'My real mother must love me very much,' thought Wesley, 'like most moms loving their children.'
"Dad, since Annie and I are about the same age, were you dating Annie's mom and my mom at the same time?" asked Wesley.
Looking at Wesley speechlessly, Robert had no idea how to answer this question.
"Are Annie and I your only children? What if you have other children? I hope they are younger than me as I want to be the older brother..."
On the way home, Wesley kept talking about things like wanting a younger brother or sister. Wesley seemed to be certain that Robert had other children in addition to Annie and him.
However, Robert couldn't argue about it as he had lost his memory and was uncertain about it himself.
'What if I had rich relationship histories before?' thought Robert, 'Will Georgia be angry with me?'
After getting home, Robert kept observing Wesley who looked normal without fear in front of Sierra and talked with her about something interesting happening in school. Also, Robert sensitively noticed that Wesley was smart enough to avoid mentioning anything about Annie in front of Sierra.
On the other side, Elsie and Wilson were taking a car to a villa district halfway up a hill.
As their investigation on the orphanage was almost completed, all they needed to do now was to find evidence of the orphanage selling its children, preferably the video of the children being bullied in various parties.
However, as it was not easy to sneak in those parties, Elsie had been worrying about who they could find to sneak in and take photos of the crimes of those people.
'Those guys are familiar with each other,' thought Elsie, "and how will they possibly allow a person they've never known before to join them?'
"Don't worry. I've found a person reliable," said Wilson, "and I must see him in person. He'll have to agree with it as he owes me one."
With many guesses in her mind, Elsie didn't expect that Wilson drove her to a villa district of rich people.
Their car was stopped by the security guards due to the strict security measures of the villa district. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
"See, I know we'll be stopped. What are you going to do?" said Elsie, "Once this scandal is exposed, it will hurt their reputation in the upper-class circle. It's almost impossible to ask them expose
themselves."
Elsie even wanted to sneak in herself.
But it turned out to be unpractical as most of them were men in their thirties or forties.
Wilson wasn't a good choice either as his identity was too conspicuous.
As others, of course, couldn't be easily trusted, it had been delayed for days until Wilson drove her to the outside of a villa district and was stopped by the security guards.
"Don't worry. Let me make a call," said Wilson and took out his phone to make a call in front of Elsie.
"I've arrived...and the security guards stopped me...the licence number of my car is..."
