Rewriting My Heart's Fate

Chapter 510

I lowered my head, guilty as charged. It was my fault for being negligent.

Ethan and I had planned to settle things after the baby shower. We never thought the Graysons would use that to their advantage.

Ethan explained. "Dad, don't worry. Our hands are full taking care of Zachary, and we forgot the matter entirely. But don't worry. We'll get things done by tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Judas scoffed at Ethan's reply. "You're trying to buy time, aren't you? You're afraid that you won't be able to be free of them once Zach gets his birth certificate, right?"

A shadow fell across Ethan's face. "That's too much. Evelyn and I are in this together. Zach is the fruit of our love. I wouldn't cast them away."
