The Bound Between Us

Chapter 635

Maggie was caught off guard seeing Julie, and Julie was equally shocked to spot a baby nestled in Joseph's arms.

The baby looked about four or five months old, the same age her own son would be by now. She had no idea where Rowan had taken her child. Now, seeing the baby with Joseph, her mind went blank as if struck by lightning. Julie's eyes were glued to the baby. "Whose child is this?" she asked.

Joseph, playing it cool, said, "My little secret. Isn't he adorable?"

Since Joseph and Julie never officially got married, and their wedding was cut short, Julie's son was indeed without legal status, a true love child.

Hearing that the baby was Joseph's, Julie realized instantly-this was her son. She hadn't seen him since birth, and now, seeing how chubby and cute he was, the bit of resentment she had melted away, replaced by a spark of maternal love. "Adorable," Julie said, unable to look away, "Can I hold him?"

She had never held her own son before.

Joseph, noticing Julie's reaction, smirked with a knowing smile, "You're not worthy."
