Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

"Your mother is actually not a Jones!"noveldrama

Carolien's eyes were wide open, and her face was full of surprise. "Isn't Carolien, who had been surnamed Jones for 20 years, the original surname of her mother?"

"Don't you know?"

With a faint smile, Master Ralph sighed and said,

"Your mother was originally named Andrews. She bathed in the sunshine and had a good appearance. According to her, she was born in a remote village. In order support her brother, her family had asked her to drop out of school early. She went to school early to make money, but she didn't expect that her parents wanted to marry her to a fool. Your mother ran away because she didn't want to. Later, she was cheated back, but the marriage was over. Her parents owed a lot to her son. In the end, they gave your mother to the nightclub. Because of this, your mother attempted suicide. Unfortunately, she didn't die. After that, your mother didn't want to die. She went to the nightclub to sit down and named herself 'Jones'. She also changed her new ID card. From then on, your mother had a strange relationship with the nightclub! After changing her name, your mother almost broke all contact with the nightclub. Her family made her disappointed. When she mentioned it, she became as calm as a stranger. She always said that she had no relatives..."

"Your mother had a tough life, yet she was strong. She managed to survive in the nightclubs, which, despite being a ruthless place, she gradually became accustomed to. Though she faced setbacks, she adapted to that lifestyle. As for my past, I wasn't well-behaved either. In my youth, I was reckless, taking advantage of my family's good financial situation and indulging in various pleasures. We met at the nightclub and had an on-and-off relationship for many years. I admit that I was restless, and perhaps my philandering ways were my karma. Even when I passed the age of 35, I had countless relationships with women, yet not a single child. I went for medical checkups, and everything seemed normal, but strangely, no woman could conceive my child. I am an only child, and my family is anxious about it. Back then, techniques like IVF were not popular or mature. I tried various remedies and even resorted to fortune-telling and spending money on women I didn't particularly care for, all in the pursuit of having a child. But fate had other plans."

It made people feel helpless!

Shrugging his shoulders, Master Ralph sighed again.

"So, when I was thirty-eight years old, my childhood friend became pregnant, and we got married. She is my current wife! It was only a year after our child was born that I found out she didn't just have good luck; she had used a dangerous banned drug to conceive. But she never mentioned it or admitted it, even after the child was born with some neurological damage due to the medication, making it a bit different from others. However, because of this child, I changed my ways, became more composed, even practiced abstinence and Buddhism. I accommodated her temper and harshness. Later, I found out that another woman had become pregnant with my child and came looking for me. Perhaps my current wife had taken care of it. We had an argument, but there was nothing I could do. I couldn't find that person, but deep down, I sensed that I might have other children out there, though it's just a fantasy and hope. Having a child in this lifetime seems as difficult as reaching the heavens for me."

"So when Selena appeared in my life, I didn't doubt it. As for her mother, the first thing I thought of was the one or two people who were with me for the longest time! It was said that she was romantic and merciless, but in fact, she was the only one who could talk to your mother the most. She was also my current wife. Although she was not good-looking, after all, they were childhood friends. I was a blurred person, and once I was deceived by her aggressive appearance, alas..." "Carolien, the reason I don't acknowledge you is not because I don't want to recognize you. It's because my family situation might not be a fortunate thing for you, and it could even bring you disaster. You must know about the situation between Selena and my wife, right? Sigh, in the past two years, I've been trying to mediate and hint at the issues. They pretend to be affectionate in front of me but are secretly plotting against each other. I know what's going on, but I can't control them for more than a year or two. Unfortunately, both of them are unwilling to live separately, fearing that if the other is not under their control, I might favor the other. I understand they are both after the family's assets, not any sense of a united family. Otherwise, why would they fight each other like this? In the past, I could only do my best, but now I feel helpless! I never thought that there would be another reason why Selena won't leave. She's an imposter!"

"I know these are all sins caused by me when I was young. I was wrong, but to be honest, I have never had an affair since I got married and I am afraid that I will become more and more disgusted with the woman I marry. I have never thought of getting a divorce. In my whole life, I should have suffered because of this! Fortunately, God is really blind. Your mother left you and gave birth to such a beautiful daughter for me! This is the happiest thing I have done for so many years! Carolien, I didn't recognize you the past because I really didn't know about your existence. I don't recognize you now just to protect you from being hurt. Whether you can accept this fact or not, whether you are willing to accept me, don't stay away from me, okay?"

"If it weren't for these things, I would be your godfather for the rest of my life. As

long as I watch over you from a distance, it's enough!"

At the end of

is words, Master

Ralph's eyes were full of tears, and

his tone showed the humbleness

begging. He didn't look like a

businessman who had been in business for a long time, only leaving an old man who longed for family affection.

Tears blurred her eyes. For a long time, Carolien could not calm down. When the blur in front of her faded away, what came into her eyes was another handsome man's face.

"Elijah?"

She blinked her eyes and a teardrop rolled down her cheeks. The blurry image became clearer and clearer. Her voice was hoarse. Carolien sobbed and said,

"Why are you here?"

When did he come in?

After looking around, Carolien discovered that there was no trace of Master Ralph in the room. When she thought of something, her eyes dimmed a little, and her whole person collapsed as if it were obscure.

He raised his hand to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes and asked, "What big matter is it that you have lost your wits like this? If it was someone else who wanted to come in, how could you still sit here in such a good manner?"

"Why didn't you ask me anything, but you..."

"Start to criticize me?"

If he suddenly had a father, how could he be so calm?

With a flash of inspiration, Carolien's eyes suddenly went straight. "Did you

already know something?"

"Last time when you had a sudden stomach ache in the hospital, I was a little aware of it. At that time,

Master Ralph was more nervouonet

about you than Selena, who was in emergency! Carolien, we have a child, don't we?"
