Chapter 164 Is He Really That Man from Back Then?
However, all she could see was darkness!
No sign of anyone!
Isabella was both cautious and scared.
She could hear the voice but couldn't see anyone, and she instinctively thought of ghosts... with disheveled hair, pale faces, floating in mid-air.
"Who? Who's calling me?" Exclaiming, she looked around nervously, sweating.
It was silent all around, with no response.
Isabella tried to bolster her courage fiercely as he uttered, "Stop pretending to be a ghost, speak up! Or I'll call for help!"
A pleasant male voice sounded again in her ear, "Isabella is really a nice name! I like it!"
This time, the voice was closer, but she still couldn't see anyone!
Isabella's heart was in her throat, and her whole body was on edge. She exclaimed, "Who are you? Come out and talk!"
The person seemed to ignore her words and asked gently, "Afraid he'll recognize your sons?"
Isabella was stunned. "What?"
The person answered evasively, "I can help you."
"Help with what?"
"I can help you keep this secret forever, so he'll never find out."
Isabella realized something, her heart racing, and she argued, "I have no secrets!"
"Your children are his children, isn't that a secret?"
Isabella's breath caught, and her eyes widened.
The person added lightly, "I know your sons are his sons."
Isabella's mind exploded, her emotions reaching a peak, shouting, "What nonsense are you talking about! My sons are mine alone, he has nothing to do with them! My sons' father is long dead, dead as a doornail!"
"Six years ago, airport, at the airport, in the lounge, Room 101, a one-night stand... Must I elaborate further?"
Isabella's heart shattered!
He actually knew about her past!
"Who the hell are you?"
"Not important. Don't be nervous, even though I know this secret, I won't tell anyone. I can help you keep it and make sure he never finds out. Do you want my help?"
Isabella was panting heavily, her head buzzing!
She never expected anyone else to know about that incident!
Isabella swallowed several times and took several deep breaths.
Her nails almost dug into her palms before she could barely calm down, and she said word by word, "I want to know, who exactly are you?"
"That's not the point."
"How do you know about this?!"
"That's not the point either."
"Then why are you helping me?!"
"Maybe because you're pretty, and I don't want a beautiful woman to worry. Or maybe I like your name. Or maybe it's because of my darling."
"Your darling?" Isabella asked.
"Yes, my darling is the sweetest and most lovable in the world!"
Talking about this topic, the person's mood clearly improved, and his tone was full of affection. He stated, "She is my precious, my princess, and my love. In the entire world, only she possesses the audacity to criticize me! And only she loves me the most. She is my darling..."
Talking about his darling, he seemed to open a floodgate, talking nonstop.
Just like parents bragging about their children, always full of love and pride!
He talked for a while before stopping with a laugh. "Never mind, the reason isn't important. Just tell me, do you want my help?"
Isabella didn't care who he was, so she wasn't interested in his matters or his 'darling'.
Her attention was focused on the fact that he knew her secret.
"How do you plan to help me?"
"Kill him," The person said casually.
Hearing that, Isabella was almost scared to death. "What did you say?"
The person calmly said, "If he's dead, you'll never have to worry about him finding out your secret or fighting for the child."
Isabella was silent.
The person continued, "If you want to kill him, I can help you. Don't be afraid of him, I'll help you come up with a perfect plan. Not only can you kill him, but you can also get away with it, without the police finding out, without any legal consequences. How about it?"
Isabella frowned as she said, "Not interested! I won't kill anyone! And I won't ask anyone to kill!"
She didn't want Eric to find out about the kids, and she didn't like him, even to the point of hatred, but she never thought of killing him!
She didn't have a malicious heart; she never thought of harming anyone!
Besides, if he died, what about Dennis?
Now, Dennis only lacked a mother, and he already had severe psychological issues. If he lost his father, how would he live?
The person continued to persuade, "If he's dead, you can live peacefully with your child, without worrying about anyone fighting for the child."
"Whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with me! I will never kill anyone!"
The person didn't seem surprised by her answer, just sighed regretfully,
"Then there's no way. With his intelligence, he'll soon find out the secret and will definitely fight for the child. Do you think you can win against him?"
Upon hearing him mention it, Isabella became nervous again, gritting her teeth, uttering, "My children love me deeply; they won't go with him. He can't take them!"
"So what, children are still children, they can't resist their father. If persuasion doesn't work, he can use force. Can you fight him?"
"When that time comes, I'll fight him to the death!"
The person first laughed mockingly, then said, "Fighting to the death, then is not as good as taking action now! Even if you don't want to kill him, at least make him lose the ability to fight for the child.
For example, make him a vegetable, lying in bed, unable to move or speak. Even if he knows your secret, he can't do anything."
Isabella frowned, inquiring, "Do you have a grudge against him?"
One moment wanting to kill him, the next wanting to make him a vegetable. The animosity is palpably intense!
"You don't need to know that."
Isabella frowned again as she said, "I don't really want to know, but I must make it clear, if you have a grudge against him, go find him! My children and I have nothing to do with him!
Also, although my son looks like him, it doesn't mean he's the biological father, maybe it's just a resemblance, I..."
Isabella's words were cut off by her phone ringing, a new message came in.
The mysterious person sent her a paternity test report!
"Take a look yourself. If you don't believe me, you should believe science. This is the paternity test report of him and your son, it's very clear."
The report showed a DNA match of 99.99999%, indicating a father-son relationship!
Isabella's eyes widened to the extreme,
Eric was indeed the man she had a one-night stand with back then!
Was he? indeed her sons' biological father?
He was indeed the one who forced himself on her, causing her to be despised, humiliated, and forced to leave her home, toiling with a 38-week pregnant belly, washing dishes!
Isabella was trembling all over, tears streaming down onto her phone screen!
She bit her lip tightly, not even noticing when it bled.
