"He wants Rosita for nothing more than revenge," Stewart said in a low voice. "As

for Irwin, that's because I haven't told him the truth yet."

Cedric Clarke hesitated for a moment before the realization hit him.

"You mean Garry still thinks Irwin is Randolph's son?"

"That's right," Stewart replied quietly. "At least until I get my son back, Irwin's parentage needs to stay a secret."

Cedric understood.

Garry was determined to take Irwin because he believed Irwin was Randolph's child.

Put simply, if Irwin wasn't Randolph's son, then in Garry's eyes, Irwin would be worthless.

And if Irwin lost his value, Stewart's chances of getting his own son back would plummet.

Suddenly, Stewart turned away, pulling a handkerchief from his pocket to stifle a cough.

Cedric stepped closer, watching his profile intently. "Are you still coughing up blood?"

Stewart clenched the handkerchief in his fist, his expression cold. "No."

"Don't lie to me, Stewart."

Cedric tried to snatch the handkerchief, but Stewart dodged him.

"Go home and look after the kids," Stewart said with a frown, clearly dismissing him. "I'm fine."
