One Night Surprise

Chapter 282 Defective Substitute

That comment felt like a lightning strike on Vanessa’s body as she could not believe Eva. “How is that possible…” I have been with Isaac for six years, so I know his personality very well. No matter how much he fools around outside, he would never do such a thing! For one, the Grahams are extremely strict with their rules. Hence, the Graham Family would never acknowledge a child whom he shares with an artist at the bottom tier. On the other hand, I know that he doesn’t love the women he fools around with.

“That’s impossible.” She scrambled from the floor, as though she was ready to tussle with Eva.

“Nothing is impossible.” Isaac stood in front of Eva. “Eva is right—she is pregnant with my child. I am taking her home to the Graham Residence.”

Vanessa had heard a lot of hurtful comments from him in the past, but she was unprepared for something like that. She was stunned into silence because she could not believe her ears. “Are you insane? Mom and Dad would never agree for you to marry a woman like her.”

“Nothing is impossible as long as I insist.” Isaac’s determined and composed expression shook Vanessa. He wasn’t even so certain when I previously wanted to be married to him. In fact, I had to figure out ways to make Isaac’s parents like me. Does he know how much effort I put in to join the Grahams? How can this woman obtain everything by relying only on her charms and seductive methods? I don’t believe it.

She looked up at the woman who was standing behind Isaac. She has a petite figure—she isn’t shapy or voluptuous. She is just much younger compared to me. I can’t help but compare her with me. Nevertheless, she realized the truth with a start when she saw Eva’s eyes before bursting in laughter. “Haha! Haha!”

He was confused and he scowled. “What are you laughing at?”

Vanessa pointed at the woman behind him and she cackled maniacally. She questioned him insistently, “Are you actually in love with her? Or, you can’t forget the person whom you can’t have? Is that why you’ll be happy even if she’s just a defective substitute?”

“Who are you referring to as a defective substitute?” Eva was bewildered, so she frowned at Vanessa while waiting for an explanation.

Nevertheless, Isaac immediately understood what Vanessa meant and his gaze turned icy-cold. “Vanessa, I am warning you. Nobody thinks you are dumb if you don’t say anything.”
