Chapter 708 Mother And Son

Holden sat by the bedside, looking at the woman on the bed.

After spending time with Wendy for the past few days, he realized something he should have known all along. Women were not to be trifled with. Dealing with them was far more troublesome than facing a hail of bullets.

“I'm heading to Tarragon headquarters in a couple of days. I've already spoken to Lionel, and he promised to take care of you during this period. As for the other matters, we'll talk about it when I get back.”

Wendy glanced at him coldly; her voice was flat and lifeless as she spoke. “Let's just part ways forever. Don't bother coming back to us once you leave Hallsbay. Our relationship soured when you decided to leave me in danger, even though you knew I was pregnant. I'm sorry, but I can't let you make it up to me in the future. And don't even think about using force to keep me here because I won't let you have your way.”

“I'm sorry,” Holden replied hoarsely, his voice raw with emotion. “It was dangerous back then, and I couldn't bring you to Tarragon with me. I had no choice but to leave you behind. I know I broke your heart, but I promise to spend the rest of my life making it up to you. But you can't tell me not to see you anymore. We have a connection, and our son is six years old now. I won't let you go, and you should take this time to think about it. If you push me too hard, I'll have no choice but to do things the hard way. There's no use escaping; I'll always get my way.”

Hearing his words, Wendy laughed in exasperation. “You're still as domineering as ever, but you're right. After all, Holden is a man who controls Tarragon and can make countless people tremble at his command. In contrast, I'm just a helpless woman with no backing. How can I fight against you? If you are bent on keeping me by your side, how can I ever escape?”

The man chuckled softly as he reached up to smooth a strand of hair from her forehead. “I'm glad you know your place. Many international tycoons have offered me their women, but I rejected them all. My love for you is unwavering, and I want you to be my wife. You should be honored.”

That was the last straw. Her anger surged, and she could feel her blood boiling with rage. “Get out,” she seethed.

Holden leaned in and planted a kiss on her forehead before grinning. “I guess you're just upset with me. I'll have to ask Artemis for some advice on how to please a woman.”
