Chapter 1045
Upon seeing her expression, Jean felt as if his heart had been stabbed mercilessly countless times, leaving himheavily wounded.
His heart ached terribly. Instinctively, he stepped forward, intending to grasp her hand. “Neera.”
However, Neera shot to her feet in a fluster and retreated like a startled fawn. Her eyes and body language werefilled with nothing but rejection.
The hand that Jean extended suddenly froze.
“You've known about this all along?”
Neera forced herself to hold it together, not allowing herself to lose composure and tried asking him as rationallyas possible.
Jean withdrew his hand. With a slightly hoarse voice, he explained, “It wasn't very long ago. I discovered thetruth just before I went abroad to find you. I missed you so much that I went next door to see the place where youhad lived, to feel your presence. As luck would have it, I found the DNA test report in the children's room andrealized they were my children.”
Upon hearing his explanation, Neera was once again taken aback.
“What do you mean? Are you saying... the kids already knew about this? They even tested your DNA?”
Jean nodded, no longer hiding anything.
“It seems they knew from the start that I was their biological father. I'm not entirely sure why they knew. They
must have taken my hair and done the DNA test secretly. Neera, that night—”
He had intended to explain what happened that night, but Neera interrupted him.
The rims of her eyes turned red. Her mental fortitude was nearly shattered by the onslaught of one truth afteranother.
“If that's the case, why didn't you tell me when you left the country? Why did you continue to hide it from me?You should know what that incident from six years ago meant to me, so why didn't you be honest with me? Youhad so many opportunities, but why didn't you say anything? Why did you let someone else expose it in this way?How do you expect me to face you?”
Jean was left speechless by her barrage of questions.
He knew he had many opportunities to tell her the truth.
Yet, in the end, he never mustered the courage to tell her.
All he could say was apologize over and over again.
The pain and sorrow Neera felt nearly caused her to break down, but she didn't want his apologies.

The question she asked seemed to have drained all her energy. She didn't want to continue the conversation, nordid she want to face him anymore. She turned around, intending to leave.
Jean panicked, hastily holding onto her, feeling as though she would never return once he let go.
“Where are you going?”
His voice was tinged with panic and fear, but Neera couldn't care to soothe him.
She gritted her teeth, refusing to look at him. “I need some time to calm down. Right now, I don't want to hearanything. Let's not see each other for a while.”
Once the words were out of her mouth, she shook off his hand and quickly walked away.
Outside, Ian saw her come out and wanted to say something.
Seeing she had no intention of stopping, he merely sighed.
Returning next door, Neera walked into the living room with a deadpan expression.
