His answer caused Ryan to fly into a rage. "Are you still thinking about that woman? How can a two- minded and immoral woman be worthy of you!"
Sawyer looked at Sissi and said to Ryan, "Dad, feelings are just beyond control. I just like her."
Ryan's voice suddenly tensed up. "Tell me the truth. Who's Abner's biological mother?"
"You've been holding onto this question for so many years. Aren't you tired of it?"
"I'm not tired! I must figure out who his mother is!"
Sawyer's lips curled up slightly. "What if I said that it was Sissi?"
Hearing this, Ryan shouted angrily, "You b*stard! I knew that according to your character, you would get rid of your betrayers. But you have been obsessed with her for so many years. So she must have left you something!
Over the years, I have been having this hunch, but I still can't believe it. I really didn't expect that... you b*stard, couldn't let go of her even when she became someone else's wife!"
When Sawyer finished listening to his scolding, he calmly said, "Sissi was already pregnant with Abner when you forced her out of the country. So, Christian was rather the b*stard, instead of me."
"You're still quibbling! Stay right there while I'll go and kick your ass right now!" Ryan snapped the phone after he finished speaking.
After Sawyer put down his phone, Sissi immediately came forward and asked anxiously, "Sawyer, what happened? I heard you confess to your father that Abner is our child!"
"Well, he will know sooner or later anyway."
A few years ago, he had not fully grown up, so he had been hiding the matter. But in his eyes at the moment, Ryan was just a poor old man who had not much time left. There was nothing to be afraid of.
Sissi said with mixed feelings, "Your father hates me so much. Now that he knows that Abner is my child, he will definitely vent his anger on Abner!"
Sawyer shook his head. "He won't. I know well that he'll not take things personally."
Sissi was quite dissatisfied when she saw her provocation fail. However, she quickly thought of something and asked, "Sawyer, I heard you mention Amelia just now. Does your father know her?"
Sawyer slightly gulped as he revealed a truth that would make Sissi devastated. "Not only does he know her, he even favors her."
Sissi was stunned and could not help but curse, "What's so good about that b*tch? That men of all age are attracted by her!"
At the moment, her beautiful face looked ferocious. If Abner was there, he might be greatly shocked that he would less want to approach her.
Sawyer was slightly stunned by her transformation. But his endurance was extraordinary, so he acted as if he did not see it and said in the next second, "Sissi, it doesn't matter if they like Amelia. What's important is that I only like you. That's enough."
Hearing this, Sissi finally calmed down. She leaned into Sawyer's embrace and said in a pity tone, "Sawyer, I only have you and Abner now. Abner is still young so I may forgive him for being distant with me. But if you leave me as well, then I... I can't live anymore!"
Sawyer frowned slightly. As time passed, he realized that the Sissi, who used to be brimming with confidence, was missing. Which it was something he did not wish for...
After calming down, he looked down at her and said, "Sissi, I won't change my feelings towards you."
"But, didn't you say that your father likes Amelia? Will he hook you up?"
Sissi had regarded Amelia as her top enemy. Once she knew something about her, she would start to mess up herself.
Sawyer appeared to be indifferent as he said, "I've already told him that it's impossible."
"Oh? So your father really wants you and Amelia to be together! That's unfair! When I was with you before, he was biased against me. Now that Amelia is just a second-handed toy from Patrick, he actually got satisfied with her! Is the old man muddled up?"
Sissi was angry and jealous. She thought that her appearance and status were on the same level as Amelia's, but why was the treatment she received so much worse?
Hearing her sarcastic words, Sawyer's eyes slowly narrowed, and then he said in an ordinary tone, "Sissi, he's my dad but I'm me. He can't control my thoughts. Otherwise, I wouldn't have told him that I still like you."
Hearing that, Sissi sniffed and murmured, "Sawyer, you're truly the one who cared about me the most..."
Sawyer lightly wiped her tears with his fingertips and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Don't cry, it makes
my heart ache."
After being coaxed by him, Sissi asked again, "What should we do now? Now that your father knows that Abner is my child. Will he come over and make trouble for the two of you immediately?" Sawyer nodded and said, "He's indeed pissed. He's probably already on his way here."
Hearing this, Ruth tightened her grip on the glass in her hand. "What's wrong with him again?"
Ryan said sulkily, "He was in a fake relationship with Amelia. That day, we were all fooled by him!"
Ruth asked in astonishment, "But that day, I clearly heard that he was intimate with Miss Amelia Ramsay in the room."
Ryan sighed and said, "Amelia explained to me on the phone that they were actually quarrelling in the room that day. Yet he suppressed her and sealed her mouth with adhesive tape. So she couldn't make a sound."
Ruth was silent for a moment before she asked, "Since Sawyer treated her so badly, why would she still play the act with him after coming downstairs?" "Others may not know Sawyer's personality, but you and I are of course clear of that. He must have threatened Amelia, so Amelia had no choice but to play along with him. I was truly a fool to feel so happy back then. I thought that Sawyer had finally seen the light, but in the end..." Ryan could not continue out of disappointment.
However, Ruth actually felt a little happy. But she would not show it since Ryan was distressed. Instead, she said in a soft but slightly regretful tone, "In fact, it's not a bad thing that Sawyer could not be in a relationship with Miss Amelia Ramsay."
Ryan raised his head and looked at his wife. "Why would you say so?"
Ruth took the opportunity to say, "Don't you hate most when Sawyer involve in some messy relationships? As far as I know, Kay also likes Amelia. If Sawyer also has feelings for her, wouldn't the relationship between the three be a mess?"
Ryan was finally speechless. He put the matter aside for the time being and frowned to talk about another issue, "There's another more irritating thing."
"There is more?" Ruth slightly curled her lips.
Ryan suddenly reached out to hold her shoulders and said seriously, "Well, you sit still for now as what I'm going to say next is a little more serious and shocking."
Ruth was shocked by his words. She could not help but straighten her back and looked at him, holding her breath.
Ryan said gravely, "Sawyer has just told me that... Abner is Sissi's child."
Hearing this, Ruth seemed to have been struck by thunder. She actually rolled her eyes and fainted.
On the Land of Fragrance.
At the moment, Amelia still did not know that her phone call had caused so many consequences. She was busy cleaning weeds in the garden.
