Chapter 20 I av gave a wry laugh .

Dad , its done .

I cant turn back now .

Besides , Yvonnes not worth turning .

back for .

Dad sighed .

Then whats your plan ? Are you just going to raise the children separately ? I nodded .

For now , thats the only choice .

Ill do my best to give Jonas the best life possible .

Dad fell silent for a while , then he said , Cole , dont forget that whatever happens , youre always our son .

Your mom and I will always be on your side .

Tell us whenever you need help .

Feeling touched , I looked at my dad .

Thank you , Dad .

I will .

It was late when we left my parents house .

Jonas fell asleep in the car .

Gently , I carried him home and placed him on the bed .

After padding out of the room quietly , I sat on the couch in the living room and turned on my phone .

A few push notifications popped up on the screen .

All of them were news about Jared .

Frowning , I tapped on one of them .

Shocking ! Award winning actor , Jared Lawson , was seen on a date night with a mysterious beauty .

Possible new romance exposed ! Attached was a blurry photo of Jared and a woman eating at a fine dining restaurant .

Though the photo was blurry , I recognized at a glance that the mysterious beauty was Yvonne .

With a scoff , I scrolled down to read the comments .

The online community made a variety of speculations .

Some recognized Yvonne , but most of them were still trying to figure out who the mysterious woman was .

Just as I was about to turn my phone off , a new notification caught my attention .

Exclusive story : Jared Lawson and Yvonne Langley , CEO of Langley Group , go public with their relationship ! The two arrived hand in hand at a charity gala ! My heart sank as I swiftly tapped on the news .

In the attached photo , Jared and Yvonne were dressed in evening attire and holding hands on a red carpet .

Yvonne wore a blissful smile that Id never seen before , while Jared had a loving expression on his face .

According to the news , the two had publicly acknowledged their relationship at the gala .

Moreover , they revealed that they were actually lovers in college .

After their recent reunion , they realized they still loved each other .

I stared at the photo for a long while until the screen turned black The next day , at the school entrance , Xavier ran over once he noticed us .

Daddy , did you see the news ? Mommy and Jared are together now ! Theyre so cool ! Holding back my discomfort , I said with indifference , Mhm .

I saw it .

Yvonne walked over and said calmly , Cole , about last night- I cut her off .

No need to explain .

Thats your personal life .

I simply hope youll think about how itll affect the children .

Yvonne was taken aback for a moment before nodding .

I understand .

Well deal with that properly .

I said nothing more and simply crouched to tell Jonas , Go on .

Pay attention in class .

Jonas nodded .

After a moments hesitation , he followed Xavier into the school .

I stood .

Without giving Yvonne another look , I turned and left .

Back at the office , I had just sat down when a secretary rushed in .

She said , wheezing , Mr.

Joplin , there are reporters outside asking about your relationship with Ms.

Langley .

They said- I put my hand up to interrupt her , Ignore them .

Dont answer any questions from the media .

She nodded and left .

Leaning against the back of my chair , I closed my eyes .
