Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 653

“So, you were involved with her. And produced a b*stard too!” Jackson snapped through gritted teeth.

“What? She has a kid? That’s not possible!” Atticus’s face changed as fast as a horse race lamp.

“Are you really unaware of the disgusting sins you’ve committed? And you have the nerve to come home. I wish you died long ago, away from this home! If my mother ever finds out about this, I will kill you!” Jackson growled. Then, he turned around and left the West residence, bringing his fiery rage along with him. He had long been fed up with this issue and no longer wanted to care. Since Atticus was willing to take care of it on his own, he was happy to leave him to it.

Atticus slumped down into his chair in a decrepit manner as he listened to Jackson’s car drive away. He went into a momentary daze then pulled out his phone and dialed a number, “Bernadette Legrand’s contact details, please. Thank you.”

…

At 8PM, Atticus and Bernadette met up at a French restaurant. It was a reunion between old friends, but the sentiment from their past was long gone. Bernadette was no longer Atticus’s young and naive student.

Atticus was dressed in a suit, probably to suit the occasion. He didn’t look half a century old at all. Instead, he carried a sense of maturity and the steadiness of a middle-aged man.

Her words had opened up memories that Atticus had wanted to forget. Bernadette wasn’t his only student that year. He treated every student the same way and noticed Bernadette’s subtle actions toward him. She purposely grew close to him and tried to seduce him. He never gave her a clear rejection because no one actually broached the subject. They met frequently, but as an exemplary character, he would never do such a thing. Instead, he satirically diverted her attention onto her studies.

However, for some reason, rumors began to circulate, talking about his inappropriate relationship with Bernadette. He valued his reputation, so he put on his wedding ring, the one he wore when he married Summer, and made no secret of his status as a married man. However, Bernadette seemed to tacitly approve of the rumors, which made him very annoyed.

Time soon passed and it was soon Bernadette’s graduation. He thought that he could return to his normal life. Unfortunately, Bernadette threw a party as her way of thanking her teachers. He couldn’t turn her down. That very night, he simply had a sip of fruit juice and lost consciousness. The next day, he woke up in a hotel with Bernadette next to him.
