Chapter 396

Shouldn't he feel shocked when he hears about his son's existence in the world? Lionel was befuddled by Holden's reaction because the latter appeared unruffled. There wasn't even a hint of surprise in his tone when he replied to Lionel.

Lionel questioned, “You have such a son all of a sudden, yet you aren't shocked?”

Holden retracted his gaze and walked toward the couch at the side to sit down before he answered flatly, “Why should I feel shocked? I once lost my memory, so I've forgotten everything in the past six years. This boy looks six or seven-year-old, which means he was born before my memory was lost. Is that strange for a normal man to sleep with someone and have a child?”

His response left Lionel speechless.

Seeing Holden being so open-minded, Lionel could not help but laugh a little. “You're open-minded. It seems I've guessed it correctly. Indeed, you've lost your memory. I should tell you something that happened in the past.”

He paused right then and did not continue, seemingly considering how he should break the matter to Holden. A long moment later, he finally explained the experience he and Wendy had gone through.

Holden's mood finally seemed to change after hearing his words. A glint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

He was well aware that Lionel's wife was the eldest daughter of the Hoffman family, Wendy, even though the outside world had no idea about it.

There was no way Holden could stay calm now that Lionel suddenly told him that Wendy was once his woman, and she even gave birth to a son for him.

“I've completely forgotten what happened six years ago. Maybe you're telling the truth, but she's your wife now. Are you planning to give her back to me?”

“No. She isn't my wife. We aren't married. She doesn't love me, and neither do I. After all, both of us have the love of our life. Holden, I've already told you about your past. It's up to you whether you want to get your woman and son back. I have no right to interfere with your decision.”

With that, Lionel stood up and walked toward the door.

Narrowing his eyes, Holden watched him leave. “The grudge between Tarragon and the Hoffman family hasn't ended for over a century. If I indeed slept with that woman and made her fall in love with me, I must have used her and abandoned her after I got what I wanted.”
