Chapter 409- Comforting Derrek
Declan opened and closed his mouth, but no word came out. The shock of hearing him say that momentarily had frozen the part of his brain that controlled speech. When the nerves started to function again, he heard him say, "I am ashamed of myself, my existence, and being the son of a BITCH."
He put extra pressure on the word "bitch".
Derrek wiped his eyes with his sleeve and added, "I didn't know that my mom lied to dad to get him to marry her. Since childhood, I was fed the wrong information that your mom left Dad because of a man. In reality, my mom was plotting to end their marriage. She is a shameless woman. She used her daughter as a bargaining tool to get married to a wealthy man! It is disgusting."
