Upon hearing Sydney finally speak those words, Theodore smiled. "You've been holding it in for so long, and now you've finally said
it."
Seeing Theodore's calm expression, Sydney immediately realized something.
"You've known all along. That wasn't easy, was it? You have a son outside, and all these years, you must have missed him terribly,
right?"
"Theo, listen to me. When | gave birth to Sebastian, Geoffrey took him away. | thought the child was dead, but a year ago, Geoffrey
toldthat Sebastian was my son. | was unaware all these years."
Sydney held Theodore's hand tightly.
Theodore shook her hand off. "Mom, now that you know, do you feel guilty? Your biological son grew up without you, so you're
doing everything to make it up to him, even trying to match him with Rose. Now | finally understand why you acted so out of
character. It turns out he's your son."
When Theodore said this, he smiled bitterly.
"You... How did you know?" Sydney asked, shocked.
"So you admit it now. You intentionally caused trouble, sabotaging my relationship with Rose again and again, all for your eldest
son?"
"Theo, listen to me. | was doing it for your sake. | thought you and Rose had been entangled for too long, and it would be better if
you two parted ways, so..."
"Who are you to decide what's good or bad for me?" Theodore suddenly shouted at her. "You've been treatinglike a fool, and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou still think you're in the right? Standing on your moral high ground, thinking you know what's best for me. What good have you
done for me? Have | been happier? No, all you've broughtis pain. So don't tellyou were doing this for my sake. It disgusts
me!"
His biological mother had deceived him like this. Having an illegitimate son was bad enough, but it had to be Sebastian.
Sebastian was his sworn enemy, someone who wanted to kill him. Yet, his own mother was defending him.
Life was truly laughable.

"Theo, you're my flesh and blood," Sydney hurriedly said. "I love you too."
"Don't talk toabout love. You love Sebastian more and you feel guilty toward him. You can continue to side with him then!"
Before, Rosalie had sided with Sebastian, but now, she had finally seen through him. Before he could catch a breath, he discovered

Theodore felt like his life was nothing but a joke, one controlled by others.
"Mom, rest well. | have nothing left to say to you." Theodore turned and walked away.
"Theo, wait!"
