I Never Regretted Leaving You (Can't Win Me Back)

Chapter 503

William guessed that Thorne and Robert had skind of family relationship, but he never dreamed that their

relationship was so close.

Thea fell silent for a moment and then told him the truth, “If Dad saw Theodore’s face behind the sunglasses, he

would know how much they look alike. Theodore is actually Robert's child.”

William stumbled and wore an incredulous expression, “How could it be like this? Robert has always been a

person who stays away from women in front of us. The only person he liked, Olivia, also couldn't make it work...”

William suddenly had a realization as he said, “He is... the child of Robert and Olivia? Oh my goodness, did

Robert have a secret affair with Olivia?”

William was filled with mixed emotions, “Since they had a child together in the first place, why did they have to

go their separate ways? Why did Olivia choose to go down a path of

no return?”

Thea shook her head sadly, “This answer, not to mention you and me, I'm afraid Theodore doesn’t know either.”

William immediately becangry and said, “I will go and interrogate Robert, to find out what the hell he did to

Olivia when he was young. Why did he bully Olivia and not take responsibility?”

William stormed out angrily, but after a few steps, he turned back. He muttered to himself, “No. | can’t be

reckless. Since Thorne doesn’t want to acknowledge Robert, | can’t expose this matter. Sigh.”

Thea said, “I didn’t understand why Theodore wanted to hide. his identity from Robert.”

William understood Thorne’s pain. For him, there was not much tleft, and he did not want to add

unnecessary sorrow to the living.

After a while, William cout of the kitchen and saw Robert sitting alone on a dining chair, lost in thought.

William felt very curious.

“What about Thorne?”

“He, well, probably didn’t likeand didn’t want to spend another minute with me. He left,” said Robert.

William stared blankly, sitting across from Robert, his face unusually grave for sunknown reason.

“Robert, not to speak ill of you, but Theodore is such a good child that he is hard to find even with a lantern. Why

do you refuse to acknowledge him as your godson?”

Robert was speechless, “William, when did you becso meddlesome?”

William snorted, “You old bachelor, it would be nice if you could adopt a son and enjoy the joy of family.”

Robert explained earnestly, “William, it's not that | am unwilling to adopt Thorne as my son. Deep down, |

like this loyal and affectionate child. However, | also have my reasons for not taking on a foster child.”

“What's the reason? If you can’t cup with a valid excuse, then it’s just your way of avoiding responsibility.”

Robert's gaze drifted far away as he said, “It's not an excuse. It's a promise | made when | was young to the girl |

loved. In this lifetime, | will only love her, be good to her, have children with her, and raise her children... |

cannot break that promise.”

“Robert, were you and Olivia...?”

In William's astonished gaze, Robert nodded heavily.

William was extremely puzzled, “Why?”

“Since you and Olivia were in love with each other, why didn’t you stay together? Why? Robert, you have always

had feelings for Olivia since childhood, and if Olivia didn’t love you, | could understand why you ended up

separating. But since Olivia also had feelings for you, and you were already married, why did you let her marry

Dayton and let her go down the path of suicide?”

Robert closed his eyes, his pain no less than William's.

“William, did you think I didn’t fight for it?”

“As long as | could be with Olivia, | would even be willing to give up my identity as the Miller family’s young

master and choose to elope with her. But Olivia, she... she gave up onfirst. | also have my pride, and it’s not

in my nature to cling to her stubbornly.”

“Elopement? Giving up your identity as the young master of the Miller family? Robert, you and Olivia can openly

date, it's not like it’s something to be hidden. Why go to such lengths to sneak around?”

Robert sighed heavily and said, “William, there are sthings you don’t understand. Please stop asking. This is

the tragedy of Olivia and me. It happened several decades ago. | don’t want to reminisce about it anymore.”

William saw Robert's fingers tremble violently, as if he had Parkinson's disease. “Robert, what's wrong with your

hand?”

Robert tightly held his own hand and said, “These years, it’s fine if we don’t mention the past, but once we do,

my hands start trembling.”

William sarcastically said, “Is this your guilty conscience showing?”

Robert smiled bitterly and said, “If the fault was mine, could | have remained single for the rest of my life and

remained faithful to her?”

William said, “That makes sense. So Olivia is the one at fault? Did she betray you from the beginning to the

end?”

Robert shook his head and said, “Olivia is straightforward. Love is love to her, and not loving is not loving. She

will only be honest and tell you.”

William scratched his head and said, “Oh dear, then tell me, why did you all end up like this today?”

Robert was puzzled, “William, why do you insist on poking at my old wound?”

William paused for a moment and glanced upstairs.

He just wanted to untie his final knot in Thorne’s lifetime.

After William's intense output, Robert, on the other hand, had sdowntto organize the jumbled thoughts

in his head.

In the midst of William's intricate interrogation, Robert seemed to have caught onto a key point. He stared at

William in astonishment and asked, “How did you know that Olivial and | were married?”

William nervously touched his nose and stammered, “Well,

um...”

Robert followed his gaze, which led upstairs. He realized, “Did Thorne tell you?”

William smiled dryly.

Robert snorted coldly, “He really knows everything and can do anything.” His tone was sour and icy.

He treated Thorne as one of those shameless paparazzi outside.

William cursed Robert in his heart, “The biggest fool in the world.”

“Why don’t you ever think about why Thorne knows so much about your family’s private matters? Is he just nosy

or is it his own business?”

Thorne sat quietly in the wheelchair, gazing down below.

When Thea emerged from the kitchen, she caught a glimpse of Thorne on the second floor. A touch of pity

appeared on

her beautiful face.

Thorne clearly desired to spend every moment with Robert, but why was he so inconsistent in his words and

actions?

Robert and William finished their argument and then got up to say goodbye.

“William, | have a meeting in the afternoon. | won't stay any longer,” Robert hesitated for a moment, but

ultimately decided to fulfill his promise, “Regarding Thorne’s work issue, if he is willing to cand helpat

the Miller family, I welchim.”
