Chapter 701: GUILTY FEELING



Chapter 701: GUILTY FEELING

Apple didn\'t expect that she would see this man again, especially in this place. In this house! Who was he really? How did he know her mother?!         

"How did you get here?"     

Apple was completely flabbergasted, and so was the man in front of her. He was no less surprised by Apple\'s sudden appearance.     

"This… this is my uncle\'s house," said the man with a frown. "What are you doing here?" he asked.     

"Uncle?" Apple frowned and it seemed that understanding came to both of them at the same time, as the expressions on both of their faces instantly changed.     

"Don\'t tell me that Nadia is your mother?!" he asked in disbelief. He blinked a few times, but didn\'t know what kind of reaction he should give Apple.     

"Oh no…" Apple couldn\'t help but wonder how the world was so small and let her path cross with this strange man\'s again.     

She thought the matter would be solved and as long as Gladys didn\'t see Derek again, then there was no reason for her to meet this man.     

But, what was this?! How could he be here of all places?!     

"You\'re James William\'s nephew?" Now Apple just remembered that Derek\'s surname was William too. But, who would remember his surname? Apple didn\'t even care about the guy she thought she\'d only meet for a fleeting moment of her life.     

"That\'s my uncle\'s name," replied Derek, which made Apple close her eyes. Well, it looked like it was in their genes to be a jerk, so Apple shouldn\'t be surprised by this anymore.     

However, she was still shocked and didn\'t expect that all of this would turn out the way it was now.     

"Is James or my mother in there?" asked Apple, trying to focus on her original purpose in coming to this place.     

Derek saw the car waiting outside the fence and realized that Apple had not come alone. She must have brought Jayden\'s bodyguards.     

"Come in first," said Derek, stepping aside, allowing Apple to enter the house.     

Without hesitation, Apple stepped into the house that was not too big. It was even smaller than her and her father\'s house.     

"Where are they?" asked Apple as soon as she was in the house and Derek motioned for her to sit down.     

"They\'re both out for a bit," Derek said curtly then mumbled, saying things like; I\'ll get you a drink.     

"No need, I\'ll only be here for a while." This might be an exaggeration, but Apple had no intention of eating or drinking anything in this house, especially when she knew Derek was the one who offered and he was going to prepare it.     

She didn\'t really want to read too much into things. It was just that it was better to be safe than sorry. Especially now that she had not only herself to think about but also the baby she was carrying.     

"I won\'t be here for long," Apple said quickly. If the two of them weren\'t at home, she could at least ask Derek something, couldn\'t she? "There\'s something I want to ask you."     

Derek stared at Apple for a moment then decided to do what she wanted and sat in the chair opposite Apple.     

"What do you want to ask?" he asked.     

"Do you know the little boy named Jack?" asked Apple again. She looked at Derek intently to see if he was lying now that he was answering.     

"Yes, I know," replied Derek directly. Then his forehead wrinkled. "If Nadia is your mother, it means that child is your half-brother."     

Yes, that was the first thing her mother said to her when she first came to meet her and also \'apologized\' for everything she had done.         

"Yes," replied Apple. "Why does he have a different surname from your uncle? Even my mother took a different last name from your uncle."     

When Apple received this report, she felt a little confused as to how her mother came to have such a different name.     

Hearing the question, Derek couldn\'t help but sigh. "You should have asked your mother about that, and why they have a different last name than my uncle, the reason is because Jack is not my uncle\'s son."     

At this point, Apple was speechless, she was too shocked to be able to say anything and couldn\'t understand how messed up her mother\'s life was.     

"How could that be? They\'ve been together for years," Apple remembered well that this man was a man whom her mother dated on and off for years. So, how could she have a child with another man?     

Apple felt that she didn\'t want to know what her mother\'s life was like anymore.     

"Well, you\'ve heard the phrase; having an affair? That\'s what your mother did," Derek said in a blaming tone of voice, but he forgot about his own behavior.     

Therefore, here was Apple, reminding him of his own actions. "Of course, I know, the example is right in front of me."     

Derek wanted to rebuke Apple a bit for her mother\'s behavior, but he forgot that he did such a disgraceful thing too.     

Hearing Apple\'s words, Derek could only clench his jaw and say nothing else, because he had no words to reply to what Apple said.     

"Where is the child now?" asked Apple wanting to know what Derek\'s answer was.     

"Why are you so interested in that child? You want to suddenly become his sister?" Derek was still upset about the fact that Apple had ruined his relationship with Gladys, because it was her interference that incited Gladys not to take him back.     

Even now, Derek didn\'t know how to meet Gladys and resolve the problems between them. He still couldn\'t accept that their relationship was over.     

And the more he thought about it, Derek realized that he really loved Gladys and wanted to be with her.     

The days he spent now felt very suffocating and made him choke with guilt and regret.
