Time-Limited Love: A Contract Expired, Not Renewed novel Chapter 346

“Come on, you can’t be serious. Our Prof. Ford is way better looking than any of your scrawny little pretty boys.”

“Hey! Don’t you talk about my sweet boys like that.”

Leanna joked around with her friend, but in the back of her mind, she couldn’t stop thinking about Yuri and how familiar his face looked.

Why did he look so much like her dad?

Oh no.

Could he be her dad’s secret love child?

The resemblance was uncanny, and he even shared the same last name—Ford.

Leanna’s mind raced, and a creeping sense of family doom started to rise in her chest. Her parents had been in love for years; just a few days ago, her dad was talking about taking her mom on a trip around the world, just the two of them. If a secret son suddenly popped up...

She felt like she’d never believe in love again.

Leanna had only come to the med school today to catch up with her best friend. Who would’ve thought she’d stumble into such a soap opera?

She trudged home to the Old Ford Manor, feeling utterly defeated.

When she walked in, she found her parents sitting together in the living room, working on some handmade decorations.

Every year around New Year’s, her mom would buy a ton of bright red yarn, and the two of them would get to work—one helping, one focused on making a pile of red bracelets.

It was a family tradition; everyone in the Ford household, not just the family but even the staff, would get one.

They were meant to bring good luck in the coming year.

Since her dad handed the company over to her older brother, he spent most of his time either traveling with her mom or just staying home, painting, gardening, and doing crafts together.

Leanna just couldn’t accept it—her amazing dad, having a secret kid behind her mom’s back?

No way.

Feeling miserable, Leanna dragged herself into the living room.

Leanna kept sighing, watching her mom’s retreating figure.

Yale finally had enough. “What’s gotten into you? Did your brother really stop giving you money?”

“No,” Leanna mumbled, still looking miserable as she stared at her dad, wanting to say something but hesitating.

Yale grew impatient. “So what is it? Spit it out already.”

Leanna glanced around, then leaned in close to Yale and whispered,

“Dad, did you ever have an affair behind Mom’s back?”

Yale’s brows shot up. He reached out and gave Leanna a light smack on the head. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Leanna pouted. “Hey, I’m giving you a chance here. If you admit it now, Mom might actually forgive you. But if she finds out on her own, you’re toast.”

Yale, exasperated, tried to swat her again, but Leanna dodged just in time.
