Chapter 53: Chapter 53 I Do Have a Son, but No Woman

After she left this world, Lu Heting could marry again and rebuild a normal family. Da Bao would not be an unwanted child.

Since Lu Heting hadn’t signed the divorce papers, Da Bao was a legitimate child born during their marriage.

“Thank you, Mr. Lu. I really don’t know what to say,” she said sincerely.

“Since we’re a married couple, I don’t think you should address me so formally, Mrs. Lu.” There was a meaningful look in Lu Heting’s deep eyes, and a playful smirk appeared on his lips.

“Then I’ll call you Heting—”

“Call me hubby,” Lu Heting interrupted, and his smirk widened, “if you are willing to take back the divorce papers.”

“I am.” Su Bei hurriedly put the divorce papers back into the file and closed it.

When Lu Heitng heard those two words, he felt as if flowers were blooming in his heart. At this moment, the words “I am” were the most beautiful words in the world for him.

After putting everything away, Su Bei decided that it was time to tell him about Da Bao’s existence. She took a few moments to gather her courage and then finally opened her mouth to speak. “Hubby, there’s actually something that—”

Before she could finish her words, a mumble came from the back seat. “Daddy! Hug me!”

Su Bei’s head jerked around in surprise. Sitting in the backseat was a small boy, blinking his eyes innocently with his arms spread open for a hug.

He looked to be about three or four years old. Ever since she had given birth to Da Bao, Su Bei had a fondness for children. At this moment, however, when she saw this boy, her mood dampened. Her heart suddenly sank, and she did not know how to react.

So Lu Heting hadn’t divorced her, but he did have another woman and a child?

Then what was the difference?

How could she bear to destroy the happiness of another woman and her child? Moreover, how could she let Da Bao be the extra child?

“Why are you here?” Obviously, Lu Heting hadn’t expected his son to be lurking in the car.

He had made a conscious decision to refrain from mentioning his son’s existence until everything had gone according to plan. Then he would tell her.

Sensing the hint of displeasure in his father’s voice, the little boy pursed his lips tightly, as if he would break into tears at any moment. “I wanted to be with you, Daddy.”

“Mr. Lu, your son is about to cry. Please calm him down first.” Su Bei deliberately avoided his eyes and set the file down on the side. All of a sudden, there was a bitter taste in her mouth. “Let’s talk about our matter some other time.”

But she knew that there would be no chance for that in the future.

Five years had passed. To her, it seemed like a blink of an eye, but many things had changed. She had no right to expect anything from him.

“Su Bei,” Lu Heting said hurriedly, grabbing her hand. “I do have a son, but I don’t have a woman.”

Su Bei looked at him with her beautiful eyes. “Mr. Lu, from the beginning, I didn’t dare to have too much hope. It’s not your fault. You don’t need to explain.”

He tightened his grip on her wrist.

Su Bei lowered her eyes to hide her disappointment. “Mr. Lu, right now, you should focus on your son.”

Taking a look at his son who was about to cry, Lu Heting hesitated for a few moments before finally letting go of her.

Su Bei opened the door and got out of the Bentley. She took a deep breath of the fresh air outside, but she still felt suffocated.
