Yannie’s entire body stiffened upon hearing this. She lifted her head to stare at him, intending to say
something, but no words came out.
If this happened to her in the past, she would have begged Thomas to show Denise some mercy, but at
this moment, she felt that Denise deserved to be punished.
She recalled what happened at Howard Mansion the day before.
At that time, after Tina and Senior Howard left for the hospital, Yannie begged Denise for mercy as her
men dragged Thomas into the room. She even got on both knees to beg her. Please don’t do this.
When Thomas finds out about this, he won’t stop at anything to get revenge.”
However, Denise merely stared at her triumphantly and said, “Is that so? Do you think you know
Thomas better than I do? You’re right; if he finds out I slept with him without his permission, he’ll be
irate. Though. ”
She squatted so she would be at eye level with Yannie and lifted her chin, forcing Yannie to stare right
into her cold gaze. “It’ll be an entirely different thing altogether when I get pregnant with his child.
“Have you forgotten? The only reason Thomas chose to be with you is because you got pregnant and
gave birth to that nasty little baby. Why else would he want to be with someone like you?”
Yannie froze when she recalled this, then turned to stare at Thomas. “Thomas, I have something to ask
you.”
“Sure.” Thomas let go of her, pulled himself back, and stared intently into her eyes. “I’m listening.”
A twinge of pain shot through her heart at this. She turned her head away to avoid his dark, penetrating
stare.

She knew what he would say just based on the look in his eyes.
Despite this, she let out an exhale and asked the question anyway. “When you said that…you liked me
and wanted to be with me…was it because you love me as I am, or because of Riley?”
Thomas‘ entire body froze when he heard this.
A split second later, he reached out to pull Yannie into his arms and gently kissed her forehead. “My
love, you’ve already asked me this plenty of times, but no matter how much you do, my answer will
never change. The reason I want to be with you is that I love you just the way you are.
“When I first fell for you, I didn’t even know you’re Riley’s mother. At one point, I was even
contemplating how I’d approach the situation if I found Riley’s mother one day. Do you…do you have
any idea how overjoyed I was when I discovered that you weren’t only the love of my life but the mother
of my child?”
Thomas‘ voice vibrated through his entire body and seemed to seep right into Yannie’s chest.
She bit her lip and closed her eyes. “I won’t ask stupid questions like this anymore.”
She knew the answer, but for some reason, whenever she thought about what Denise had said, she
could not help doubting herself.
“Let’s go visit Riley.” Thomas let go of her and sighed, staring intently at her. “While I was locked in the
holding cell, all I could think of was….whether I could see you and Riley if Joshua’s plan failed.”
He sighed. “That poor old geezer. He had trusted the wrong people, and even until his death, he never
managed to meet his granddaughter.”
