Chapter 685 The Most Familiar Stranger
Dylan was still in a daze. If he remembered correctly, this seemed to be the person he saw in the photo, the one he mistakenly thought was Pamela's son. Inevitably, he was a bit distracted, as he had once mistaken this person for his son.
After reluctantly taking a few more glances, Dylan finally left.
When Dylan got back, he told Carol that Chloe didn't agree to the adoption. Carol clenched her fists tightly and said, "That Chloe, she clearly doesn't like Jake, but she still wants to protect her rival's nephew. It shows she doesn't truly like Jake; she's just opposing me!"
Carol harbored resentment towards Chloe!
Chloe and Donovan also went back upstairs. After Donovan went into the bathroom, there was a knock on the bedroom door.
A small figure quietly came in; it was Jake.
He was relatively thin and small.
As soon as he came in, he softly threw himself into Chloe's arms, and then tears started streaming down his face. He asked, "Mom, am I an unwanted child?"
Chloe's eyes reddened, "How could that be? How could you be unwanted?"
"Then why did that person want me?"
"That person wanted you, but didn't we refuse him? You and Francis are both our treasures, okay? For the rest of your life, the Blake family is your home."
Jake was very touched, "Just now, Mr. Bell's door wasn't closed. I heard everything you and that person said. Thank you, Mom and Dad."
Chloe cupped Jake's face in her hands, "Jake is such a good boy. Go to sleep now."
Jake obediently left.
Even after he closed the door, Chloe's nose felt a bit sour, and she was deeply moved.
When Donovan came out of the bathroom, Chloe told him about it, but Donovan's reaction was indifferent, only giving a brief acknowledgment.
Chloe glanced at him, "How can you be so heartless?"
"It depends on the person."
"For example..."
"You."
Chloe felt a softness in her heart, "But before, I was a stranger to you. I don't know what makes me so charming."
"Spending a long time together, you take root in my heart." Donovan finished speaking and then turned to kiss Chloe.
Chloe also wanted to say, 'Spend more time with Jake, and in the future, he won't be so heartless.'
If Donovan continued to treat Jake this way in the future, Chloe would have to reevaluate him.
The next day, Derek went to Maple Valley Prison to visit Pamela.
Mother and son sat on opposite sides, both familiar and unfamiliar, like strangers who had never had any contact.
Even without makeup, Pamela still exuded an indelible aura; after all, it was the aura of centuries-old nobility.
She was carefully observing Derek outside.
"You look so much like your father! He should be proud to have a son like you," Pamela said to Derek, "Your eyes, your eyebrows, they all resemble his. Very distinguished."
"Where is he?" Derek asked just this one question.
Pamela was silent for a moment, "Chloe sent you, didn't she?"
"No. I need to know what my father looks like. You brought me into this world and then abandoned me, leaving me to fend for myself. I've never seen anyone as selfish as you," Derek said solemnly to Pamela.
Pamela snorted coldly and turned her head away.
"I don't know where he is. Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you," Pamela added.
Derek frowned slightly, "Why?"
