As they climbed the ladder , halfway up , he suddenly froze . His small hands gripped the rungs of the ladder tightly , and his face turned pale . I … Im scared . I want to get down , Henry murmured , his voice shaking . 1/3 +25 BONUS Tengled Emotions Before Emma could react , his foot slipped , and he lost his balance , falling backward . Ahhh ! Henry screamed in fear , Instinctively , Emma , who was below him , stretched out her arms , trying to catch him . She barely managed to grab hold of him before both of them fell down together . Meanwhile , David went to the bar to meet up with some of his friends . His mind was clouded with confusion and frustration as he drained his glass in one gulp , his throat burning . His friends , noticing his grim mood , exchanged worried glances . Whats going on, David ? You look gloomy and worried , one of his friends , Carlos , asked . David shook his head , and remained silent . He refilled his glass and took another sip , the alcohol doing little to dull the ache in his chest . His friends glanced at each other again , knowing that if he did not want to say something , no one would be able to find out . So they tacitly did not ask and silently accompanied him to drink . It seemed that alcohol either gave him the courage to speak or numbed his senses , because , after a moment , David finally spoke up , I have a child . Carlos raised an eyebrow . Congratulations ! When did Emma get pregnant ? And how could you hide this from us ? he asked , clearly surprised . However , Dan , Davids other friend , leaned back in his chair , a sarcastic smirk playing on his lips . Lucky for her , right ? As soon as Allison shows up , she gets pregnant . And now youll never get to divorce her . Davids jaw tightened at the mention of Allison , but he didnt respond immediately . His mind was still racing , and the alcohol wasnt helping . He took another sip , then , with difficulty , said , The child is over two years old . The room instantly fell silent . Carlos blinked in disbelief . Wait , what ? Over two years old ? Whats going on ? David simply relayed the conversation he had with Allison earlier , explaining the situation as calmly as he could . Carlos frowned . Are you sure the child is yours ? This is just one side of the story , David . You should be careful ; she might be lying . Thats not true , Dan , who secretly admired Allison , interjected , his tone defensive . Allison is honest and sincere . Theres no way shed hide something like this unless she was forced to . She must have had no choice but to tell David about the child . David sighed heavily , feeling the weight of the situation pressing down on him . I had a 2/3 +25 BONUS Tangled Emotions paternity test done . It took a lot of resources to get the results ready today , he finally said , The child is mine . The two friends went silent , processing what David had just said . Carlos finally spoke , his voice serious . So , what are you going to do about it ? Dan chuckled , raising his glass . Whats there to worry about ? Just divorce Emma and be with Allison . If Emma hadnt stepped in , you would have married Allison two years ago , and you wouldnt have missed out on these two years of your childs life . David leaned back in his chair , his expression firm . I wont let my son grow up without me , he said decisively . Ill raise him myself . But let me be clear divorcing Emma is not on the table . Shes my wife , and Allison … shes part of my past . Carlos shook his head . David , youre asking for too much . You cant just have both the child and Emma . What about her ? Have you asked Emma what she thinks about all this ? Even if she loves you , would she really want to raise the child you had with another woman ? Especially since the woman in question is her sister . Dan leaned forward , a smug smile on his face . Face it , David . Youve been bewitched by Emma . With her cold , vicious heart , shell never treat your child well . She might even hurt him behind your back . Arent you the one always complaining of how much she has changed ? www Davids blood ran cold . The words hit him harder than any punch could . He stood up abruptly , the chair scraping loudly against the floor as he left the bar . His thoughts were racing , and he pulled out his phone , dialing Emmas number . The call went through , but when she answered , it wasnt her voice that greeted him . Hello ? a strange male voice said on the other end . David froze , and frowned as he demanded , Who are you ? Where is Emma ?
