Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1258: Chapter 1197: I Really Don’t Blame You

”Tired, aren’t you? Come over and rest for a while.” Noticing that Kang Li seemed to still want to linger with Allen, Jiang Boya spoke up at the right moment, drawing Kang Li’s attention to himself: ”Didn’t you hear what Dad said?” Feigning grievance until Kang Li stepped over, Jiang Boya’s eyes lit up with a smile, clearly in a good mood.

But as Kang Li approached, Jiang Boya glanced at the hand Jiang Li was holding Allen with and casually said, ”He’s quite grown up; it’s not like he can’t walk on his own. Why do you need to hold his hand?”

Hearing this, Kang Li was initially taken aback, then found it amusing and said, ”No matter how grown Allen is, he’s not older than me. Besides, I’m happy to hold my brother’s hand. Is that not okay?”

Jiang Boya was momentarily at a loss: ”Dad... Dad didn’t say it wasn’t okay.”

Kang Li raised an eyebrow: ”Then what do you mean?”

”Alright, alright, Dad won’t say anything more, okay? If you want to hold his hand, go ahead.” Jiang Boya conceded. He had no choice; after all, he couldn’t win against his precious daughter.

He sighed inwardly, though his expression remained calm.

”Don’t be too petty.”

Kang Li looked at Jiang Boya with a smile, then said, ”I’m taking Allen to the art room. You stay here and chat with Miss Davis.” Before Jiang Boya could react, Kang Li, holding Allen, had already headed toward the art room.

”Have a seat.”

After standing in place for a while, Jiang Boya’s gaze fell on Miss Davis. Noticing that she had also stood up at some point, he invited her to sit down again: ”With Lili watching over, the kid will be fine.”

”I know.”

Miss Davis withdrew her gaze from her son Allen’s back. Sitting back in her original spot, she spoke with gratitude, ”I’ve seen how well Miss Kang Li treats Allen.”

”You’re the elder, just call my daughter Kang Li.”

Hearing Jiang Boya say this, Miss Davis was momentarily stunned. Seeing this, Jiang Boya coughed lightly and said, ”Don’t overthink it. I just feel that Lili genuinely likes the kid, so I’m considering this on Lili’s behalf...”

Before he could finish, Miss Davis smiled and softly interrupted him, ”I understand.”

Jiang Boya: ”You understand?”

Miss Davis gave a soft ”mm,” then said, ”Kang Li is a good girl. As you said, she genuinely likes Allen, and on account of Kang Li and Allen, you don’t want me to feel too uncomfortable in front of the kids, hence your change in attitude now.”

”...”

Jiang Boya remained silent, essentially acknowledging what Miss Davis said. After a moment, he looked directly at Miss Davis, his expression becoming somewhat serious, and said:

”Although I don’t want to, nor am I willing to acknowledge the relationship between that child and me, the blood relationship between us cannot be denied. Based on this, I will give that child a sum of money once he becomes an adult, as a small token of my regard as a father.

Moreover, I won’t stop him from interacting with Lili on a daily basis, but the premise is... he must not bring any harm to Lili; otherwise, don’t blame me for not showing you mother and son any consideration.”

”That’s not necessary.” Miss Davis also spoke seriously: ”Allen has me. You don’t need to pay child support. Besides, I’ve made it clear to you before that I won’t allow Allen to cause you any trouble, nor will I allow him to covet things that aren’t his.”

Jiang Boya’s expression turned a bit unpleasant: ”Take it when I give it to you. After all, it’s not for you; it’s for that child.”

Pressing her lips together, Davis was silent for a moment before finally nodding: ”Then, on Allen’s behalf, thank you.”

”No need.” Jiang Boya waved his hand, then a bitter smile appeared on his lips: ”Compared to your child, I actually owe Lili more. Without talking about anything else, just the fact that your child grew up by your side, meticulously cared for day by day,

While Lili, I knew full well that I had a child, yet I left her mother more than twenty years ago, crossed the ocean and came here... Who knew, after giving birth to Lili, that woman abandoned her and formed a family with another man. If she hadn’t been found by kind-hearted people, my daughter would have either died young or lived a miserable life.

Telling you all this, I hope you understand that I don’t actually owe you or your child anything. After all, there was that night between you and me back then, and I wasn’t at fault. Later, when you had that child, it was your own decision, and you didn’t inform me either,

So, neither you nor that child are my responsibility.”

”There’s no need for Mr. Jiang to say more. I understand your point.”
