A Replacement Bride

Chapter 249

Jennifer and Keith were both dumbstruck by Joaquin's sudden confession. They stared at him unblinkingly as they tried to digest this bombshell.

"W-What?!" After a long while, Keith stammered, his face filled with disbelief.

Joaquin pursed his lips and intoned deeply, "Yes. The man from five years ago Kathy was looking for is me."

At this moment, Keith abruptly jerked to his feet and started pacing agitatedly. Jennifer finally came to her senses and stared at Joaquin with her mouth agape. "Y-You were that man five years ago! Y-You are Noah's father!"

As she muttered to herself, she shook her head as if she couldn't believe it. "No, how can that be? How can it be such a coincidence?"

She frantically looked at Katherine and wanted to hear it from her lips. "Kathy, is that true? Tell me! Are you guys trying to fool me because you didn't find that guy? I may be old and useless, but I'm not stupid. So, don't even try lying to me!"

Keith also exclaimed in frustration, "Grandma's right! Kathy, this is impossible! That man was a piece of sh*t! He raped you! Only a scum and b*stard would do such an awful thing! Joaquin is such a nice guy. He wouldn't do something so horrible. No way, he's not that jerk! Is this a joke to you? It's not funny, okay? Don't make such a lousy joke!"

Joaquin was rendered speechless by Keith's insults, and his lips twitched with each derogatory term.
