CHAPTER 40: CHAPTER 40: FORCED KISS

Jude Sinclair said this, then turned to look determinately at Desmond Fairchild’s face, and firmly spoke: "Since I became aware, I swore that I would protect mom well. No one can make me leave her. Even if you’re my real dad and treat me well, if you ever do anything to hurt mom, I won’t let it go!"

Desmond Fairchild remained silent, looking at Jude Sinclair’s face that looked just like his own, his eyes narrowed slightly.

He had indeed had many thoughts before: to take Jude away and give him the best life. If Seraphina needs money, he’d give it to her; if she doesn’t, then he’d help her deal with Ethan Lloyd.

Moreover, he still held other things in his hands that were meaningful to Seraphina. Seraphina might find them hard to resist.

Yet now, he seemed to suddenly understand why he decided to stay.

From the start, he felt the deep connection between Jude and Seraphina, that indescribable trust, reliance, almost parasitic, which he was unable to replace.

Desmond Fairchild smiled slightly and patted Jude Sinclair’s head: "Go ahead, what have you found?"

"I haven’t found anything." Jude Sinclair slumped against the back of the chair, feeling gloomy: "Precisely because I didn’t find anything, I am even more suspicious."

But he had met his grandmother, and with her having revealed his background, he really didn’t know whether he should tell dad.

After all, hiding his identity from mom made him worry that dad might have ulterior motives.

Desmond Fairchild chuckled silently and turned to look at Jude’s face, earnestly saying: "Jude, you are my only son. You will know my identity one day, but not now. You just need to remember, you can trust me, whether now or in the future, I will always be your dad."

...

After father and son returned home, Seraphina Sinclair hadn’t returned yet. She called saying she was socializing outside and told them to eat without waiting for her. Desmond Fairchild and Jude Sinclair exchanged a glance and simultaneously took out their phones to order delivery.

Not until both had eaten their fill did Seraphina arrive, feeling reassured seeing they had eaten.

After urging Jude to go to his room and sleep, she smilingly took out a medical check-up appointment slip and handed it to Desmond Fairchild: "Tomorrow is Saturday, let’s go to the hospital for a check-up."

"A check-up?"

Seraphina Sinclair said seriously: "Desmond Fairchild, since we initially agreed on the terms of our relationship, you and I are Jude’s parents. I have an obligation to know if you’re healthy, otherwise, how can you fulfill the responsibilities of a father? How can I be at ease letting Jude be with you?"

She had considered this carefully for a long time and decided to talk to Desmond Fairchild after all, having heard that the circle is quite messy. If one accidentally caught a disease...

Before she could finish speaking, the air around suddenly turned cold, making Seraphina feel as if she was instantly in an ice cellar, shivering with chill.

"Don’t think too much, if there’s a disease, we treat it, right? It’s not a big deal, just to put both of us more at ease. Jude will be going to elementary school in two years, you’ll definitely need that side’s credentials..." Seraphina stammered.

But before she could finish, she was blocked by a soft kiss. Desmond Fairchild gently nibbled on Seraphina’s lips, quite softly, while his large hand encircled her slender waist, gradually delving deeper.

Desmond Fairchild’s kiss was domineering and headstrong, carrying a hint of punishment.

The air seemed to be drawn out, leaving Seraphina almost breathless from the kiss, finally managing to push Desmond Fairchild away.

Desmond Fairchild said in a faint voice: "Whether my body has any issues might need you to verify personally."

Seraphina Sinclair stood in place, panting heavily, with only one thought in her mind!

In her over twenty years of life! For the first time, she had been forcibly kissed.
