Perfect Fit

Chapter 9

I was enraged, fuming with anger. So, without even thinking, I slapped him across the face. Twice, and he didn't even try to block me.

He looked more shocked than I was, defeated almost. I was the one who went through all that, and he wanted to play the victim.

"So you were trying to act the fool this whole time even trying to sneak into my son's life for what? Huh? Were you trying to vindicate yourself through fooling me into letting you stay in our lives? I wouldn't have ever thought you were capable of something like this. How could you?"

"I didn't know it was me, I woke up alone in that room, and i didn't remember anything. I didn't even remember how I got there. I still don't remember anything. The only reason I am even confirming that it has to have been me is because of everything you just told me. And also you marked me. If it wasn't you, you wouldn't be able to see it."

"Is that the excuse you are going to hold on to. That you were drunk and can't remember?"

"It's not an excuse. It's the truth. I wouldn't have acted the way I have towards you. I wouldn't pretend that I didn't do anything when I knew I did something. I would have taken responsibility."

"Words of a righteous man, so when you get drunk, you sleep with anyone you get your hands on? Is that what you are telling me?"

"No, I have never done that before. That night, I had way too much to drink. More than I have ever had in my entire life. I blacked out and well...., I am so sorry. I really truly didn't know. You can report me to the police, I won't deny anything. I won't even try to fight. I didn't mark you, so apart from what you have been feeling so far with the pregnancy, after the baby is born, you should be fine."

"Did you really not know, even when you wanted to raise the baby with me?"

"No, I didn't know. I don't remember what happened that night, Mr Xiao."

I was trying to process all this information. Can alcohol really do that? I don't drink. I know that alcohol makes people do weird things, but isn't this a bit too much.

He took out his phone and punched in some numbers, and looked like he was watching something before handing me the phone.

"Here, I just downloaded the footage from the hallway on that day. You watch and decide if all this was intentional or a terrible mistake on my part."

I watched, and after a few seconds, Haikuan came into view carrying an unconscious Yibo on his back. He was already holding the key card in his hand and just opened and came in for a few seconds and then left alone. Thank goodness, there is no surveillance inside the rooms.

"That's the state I was in until morning according to my memory. I don't remember ever coming into contact with you. It does explain my rut, though."

"So if it's like this, who took advantage of who then? If you were dead drunk and I was floating in heat, who is responsible for what happened. Did I seduce you because I didn't have my suppressants, or did you take advantage of me because I was in heat?"

"Does it matter? Because we are the only people who should answer that, and neither one of us knows the answer to that question. What's done is done. Let's focus on how we can move forward. Now that we both know that I am the father, will you let me raise him with you?"

"Do you want to raise him because you can't have any more babies, or you genuinely want him?"

"He is mine, and I want him. What kind of question is that. Even when he was only yours, i still wanted him, remember? "

"I still don't feel comfortable with you, and I still hold to my words from earlier. I don't know you, and because of that, it is hard to say what I want to do."
