"Tell me where I have wronged you that you can't understand I love you?" Evelyn demanded, her voice trembling with emotion.
"You are the best woman on earth, but there's someone else in my heart. I still have feelings for Norah. I loved her again the moment I saw her," Williams replied shamelessly.
With anger flashing in her eyes, Evelyn slapped him. "You must be stupid, Williams. You fall in love with her again after years of not seeing her? What will you do if you find out she had a son with you?"
Williams, who was about to yell at Evelyn, suddenly calmed down, shock washing over him. "What did you say? Norah has a son with me?"
Evelyn crossed her arms, her expression defiant. "You think I'm stupid enough to share that information with you? I only mentioned it out of frustration. And let me make one thing clear: I won't share my man with anyone, not even with Norah."
Williams's mind raced as he tried to process the revelation. "Evelyn, please, you have to tell me more. Is it true? Do I have a son with Norah?"
Evelyn's eyes narrowed. "Why should I tell you anything? You think you can just waltz back into Norah's life and play happy family? I won't let that happen."
Desperation crept into Williams's voice. "Evelyn, if what you're saying is true, I have a right to know. Please, tell me about the child."
Evelyn shook her head, her resolve unyielding. "No, Williams. You made your choice when you decided to fall for Norah again. I won't help you. If you want answers, you'll have to find them yourself. But remember this: I won't stand by and let you hurt me or Norah."
With that, Evelyn turned and walked away, leaving Williams standing there, his heart heavy with the weight of her words. He knew he had to find out the truth, but he also realized the path ahead would be fraught with challenges and heartache.
"Norah has a son with me?" William asked himself, his mind racing as he ran after Evelyn. When he reached their bedroom, he found her on the verge of tears.
"Evelyn, please," he began, but she cut him off.
"I love you, William. I've always loved you. Why can't you see that?" Evelyn's voice was filled with pain and desperation.
William sighed, his heart heavy. "I know, Evelyn. And I love you too. But I can't get Norah out of my head. Her memory haunts me."
Evelyn's expression shifted from sorrow to confusion and anger. "How can you say that? After everything we've been through, you're still thinking about her?"
William stepped closer, his voice pleading. "Please, Evelyn, try to understand. I never wanted to hurt you. But I need to find out the truth about Norah and the child. I need closure."
Evelyn's eyes narrowed, her anger barely contained. "You think I'm going to just stand by and let you chase after her? You're a fool, William. But if you think I'll let you go without a fight, you're wrong."
William reached out, trying to comfort her. "I'm sorry, Evelyn. I never meant for things to turn out this way. Please, forgive me."
Evelyn pulled away, her voice cold. "I know you'll go after her, William. And this time, I'll be watching you closely. Don't think for a second that I'll let you betray me again."
William nodded, understanding the depth of her pain. "I promise, Evelyn, I'll be honest with you. But I need to do this. I need to know the truth."
As he left the room, Evelyn's eyes followed him, filled with a mix of love, anger, and determination. She knew he would search for Norah, and she was prepared to do whatever it took to keep him by her side.
"Whoever permitted you into my office will be fired. Now leave my office," Norah shouted at William.
"I will leave, but before I do, let me remind you of this: I love you, and I will come for my son. If you deny it, I will run a DNA test on him," William said firmly.
"DNA my foot," Norah retorted. "You abandoned me and enjoyed life with Evelyn. You never thought your seed would be with me again. This child is mine, and his father remains Thomas," she concluded, pointing at the door. "Now leave."
After William had left, Norah turned to Clara, her anger evident. "Why did you bring Desmond here at this time?"
"I never knew he would be here. I'm so sorry, Mrs. Norah," Clara apologized, her voice trembling.
Norah sighed, trying to calm herself. "What do you think we should do now?"
Clara hesitated before speaking. "We need to be careful. If William is serious about the DNA test, we have to be prepared. Maybe we should consult a lawyer to understand our options."
Norah nodded, her mind racing. "You're right. We need to protect Desmond. I won't let William disrupt our lives."
Clara placed a comforting hand on Norah's shoulder. "We'll get through this, Mrs. Norah. Just stay strong."
Norah took a deep breath, steeling herself for the battle ahead. She knew she had to protect her son and her newfound happiness, no matter what it took.
"He has finally figured out the truth. The way Desmond looked at him, he almost reached out to be carried. I saw the signs, and now I'm scared," Norah confessed.
"You don't need to be scared. You are Desmond's mother, and you have the right to make decisions for him. I know William won't be allowed to have a part in his life," Clara reassured her.
"It's a promise I made to myself. William will not have any role in my son's life," Norah affirmed.
Later, when Norah got home, she told Thomas about the incident. Thomas smiled and pulled her into a comforting embrace. "Don't worry, Norah. William won't come anywhere near Desmond. I promise you that."
Meanwhile, William returned home and sat on the sofa with a glass of wine. Evelyn, who had been watching him from upstairs, walked down to confront him.
"It's all about Norah, isn't it? You never have time to think about me. You're always worried about her," Evelyn accused.
"It's not what you think, Evelyn. I've had a lot of stress at work, and I just need to rest and think about how to handle tomorrow's activities," William exaggerated, trying to deflect her suspicions.
"When did your work become such a burden to you? You're just making excuses now," Evelyn retorted, her frustration evident.
William sighed, knowing he couldn't hide his true feelings forever. "Evelyn, please understand. This situation with Norah and the child is complicated. I need to figure things out."
Evelyn's eyes narrowed. "I won't let you go after her, William. You need to decide where your priorities lie. If you choose to pursue Norah, don't expect me to stand by and watch."
William nodded, realizing the gravity of the situation. He knew he had to tread carefully, balancing his desire to know the truth about Desmond with the need to maintain his relationship with Evelyn. The path ahead was uncertain, but he was determined to find a way through it.
"I just want you to know that I finally saw my son with Norah. She tried denying it, but the appearance and everything about that child is all mine. He took after me," William said.
Evelyn, shocked, drew closer with anger. "Don't try using that as a means to get Norah back, because I'm already pregnant with your child. If it's all about a child, you don't need to worry."
William smiled at Evelyn's words. "It's not just about the child. It's also about the feelings I have for Norah."
"You have feelings for her now? What happened to those days when you treated her badly and claimed to love me more than anyone on earth?" Evelyn asked, her voice filled with hurt.
"Maybe I was blindfolded by your love," William answered. "And as for the pregnancy, I won't deny it. It's still my child. Nevertheless, I still need to get Norah and my son back."
Evelyn's eyes flashed with jealousy and desperation. "You think you can just walk back into her life and take over? I won't let you. I'm carrying your child, and that should be enough."
William sighed, his expression conflicted. "Evelyn, I care about you and our child, but I can't ignore my responsibilities towards Norah and my son. I need to make things right."
Evelyn's heart pounded with fear and anger. She wasn't actually pregnant; she had said it out of jealousy and a desperate attempt to stop William from chasing after Norah. "You can't just abandon me, William. I won't let you."
William looked at her, his resolve firm. "I'm not abandoning you, Evelyn. But I need to face the truth and take responsibility for my actions. I hope you can understand that."
Evelyn turned away, tears of frustration welling up in her eyes. She knew she had to find a way to keep William by her side, but the path ahead seemed more uncertain than ever.
"I just want you to know that I finally saw my son with Norah. She tried denying it, but the appearance and everything about that child is all mine. He took after me," William said.
Evelyn, shocked, drew closer with anger. "Don't try using that as a means to get Norah back, because I'm already pregnant with your child. If it's all about a child, you don't need to worry."
William smiled at Evelyn's words. "It's not just about the child. It's also about the feelings I have for Norah."
