Megan glanced at Cedrick with an awkward smile, chuckled sheepishly, and then settled back into her seat.

Meanwhile, Gwendolyn returned her gaze to Cedrick, seizing the opportunity to study him while he remained lost in desolation, his eyes fixed on the ground.

When he finally looked up, she quickly averted her eyes, avoiding eye contact. Resuming a calm tone, she asked, “Since you claim to be my husband, what evidence do you have to prove it?”

Cedrick pondered for a moment before reaching into his pocket and taking out his phone. With trembling fingers, he tapped the screen and clicked into the photo album, showing Gwendolyn a family photo of the four of them taken in the hospital’s lab.

Gwendolyn glanced at it placidly. “Photos can be edited. Since you came prepared, it’s only normal for you fabricate these.”

She was implying that she still didn’t buy his claim.

Cedrick sighed, a bitter smile tugging at the corner of his lips as he began to explain, “We have a pair of five-year-old twins. The older one is a boy named Benedict Jenson, and the younger one is a girl named Zendaya Harris. They have different surnames because you personally arranged it that way, considering their involvement in the inheritance rights of both the Jenson and Harris families. During the year when you were pregnant, many things happened. Your father fell from the stairs and passed away in the hospital. You were questioned about whether you were truly the heiress of the Harris family. All those burdens took a toll on your emotions, causing them to become unstable and often go out of control…”

He paused and slowly rolled up his left sleeve, revealing his muscular forearm.

As he was clenching his fist firmly, his skin was taut, revealing the veins bulging underneath.

He turned his forearm slightly, showing two rows of bite marks that had left a small, fading scar.

Cedrick gently caressed the scar with his fingertips, his eyelashes trembling as he spoke hoarsely. “This scar is from when I stopped you from eating oranges during a manic episode. You bit me hard, and it hurt so badly…”

The pain from that bite was excruciating, but nothing compares to the agony of her not remembering me and not choosing me.

Gwendolyn turned her face away, not looking at the bite mark. Her calm expression seemed indifferent, as if she was unaffected by what he just said.

Megan observed their expressions back and let out a sigh as she shook her head, uncertain of what she should say.

Matters concerning these young people were beyond her intervention, so all she could do was listen quietly.

The courtyard fell into a tranquil silence.
