Chapter 702 I continued, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be in your 50s, almost 60, right? You probably have three children. I'm one of them. One is the other woman's daughter, and the last is the child in your current wife's womb.
"Maybe you're raising the kid now, but what about 20 years from now? By then, your child will only be 20, and you'll be over 70. That won't be an issue.

Otis fell silent. Thana and Yelena didn't even acknowledge him, so why would they recognize his child? Otis wasn't that optimistic about things.
I didn't force him to think as I wanted, either. "Of all your children, I'm the most successful and capable at the moment. That's why I think this meeting between us is very important." Otis stayed silent for a long time. This time, he had fully thought through his plan. He guessed that Annalise would still use the stactics from back then to target him.
She would send evidence of his mistakes to his competitors. But, this time, his competitors were fake. He had hired someone to impersonate them.
Otis also wanted to know if Annalise had truly changed or if she was still plotting against him. He said, "All right. We'll meet tomorrow at 10:00 am. I'll send you the address shortly." I chuckled slightly and replied, "Okay." As long as I dealt with Otis, my mom could finally enjoy her retirement in peace.
Zane listened to our conversation and spoke only once he was sure we were done. "Who were you just talking to?" "My mom's scumbag ex-husband." I had no intention of calling him Dad. "Don't worry, I'll handle it." Zane pulled into the company parking lot and turned to look at me. "When will you finally believe that I'm not asking because I think you're a burden, but because I genuinely want to help you?" I froze up at that.

ask for your help now, what about in the future?" Zane replied calmly, "I'll still be here to help you." "But relying too much on someone will only makelose my capabilities. And if we ever break up, I'll be left with nothing. I'll be useless. So-"
Zane cutoff. "We're not going to break up, and we're certainly not getting divorced."
"But after everything I've been through, I can't just regain faith in love overnight," spoke honestly, laying my thoughts bare.
"I need you to understand that. Maybe, as tpasses and we stay togethe Nonger, I'll learn to trust you little by little." Zane finally smiled. "That makes sense. So, I should take things slow and not rush." I nodded.
