The Substitute Bride: Making Memories Of Us (Lois Stone)

Chapter 176: She Refused To Face Him 

Hayden heaved a sigh.

"Yareli, I know you're mad at me for what happened, but I had no choice! I had to leave you back then."

"Yes, that's right.You had no choice.It's been twenty years, Hayden! And now, you dare ask me how I've been doing? Is it really necessary? Just pretend we didn't see each other today, okay?" Yareli stared at his face.

They had grown old, far away from each other, so there was no more need to associate herself with him.She was already living a good life now, unlike her hellish past.

Back then, she had absolutely nothing! No decent education, diploma, nor job, and on top of that, she was a single mother.

She was forced to go abroad and started working as a waitress.

There was no way that he could ever understand her struggles, and he could never make up for it either.

"It's been so long since we last saw each other.Now that you're here, I can't just pretend that I didn't see you.Look, all I want is to know where our child is."

Hayden didn't like beating around the bush when it came to her.

He was aware of the fact that she was pregnant when he left her, and that she definitely gave birth to their child.

If it weren't for the pressure he received from his family, he never would've married Miley and sent Yareli to another place while she was pregnant.

He knew his mistakes.

But he didn't know that when he chose to send her away, he had lost the chance to be with her ever again because she disappeared.

She had left the small house he arranged for her, leaving him no clue of where she might've gone.

He didn't know what happened to his child either.

The moment he met Ayla, he did a background check on her, but he didn't find anything suspicious.

But now, he wanted to ask Yareli about the child.Did she even give birth to it?

 "The baby is dead," Yareli said coldly.

"Did you really expect me to give birth to that baby? Did you think you could get married and live a happy life after you sent me away? Did you really think I'd wait around for you until you decide to offer me some scraps of your affection?"
