My Ex Thinks I Raised His Love Child

On my wedding day, the groom, Robert Jensen, is nowhere to be seen. All that's left of him is a letter and a baby who's born with a heart disease.

"I love you, Winona, but I've also fallen in love with Claire. Since I can't give her a proper title at all, I decided to go on a world trip with her in order to make it up to her.

"I'll also give you a chance to raise my and Claire's baby. While we're enjoying our trip, you can spend some quality time with our baby."

The thing is, I don't have any blood relations with this baby. Why the hell should I raise Robert and Claire's baby, to begin with?

Six years later, I take my son, Anson Jensen, to the airport so that we can see my husband, Joshua Jensen, off to his business trip.

When I turn around, I spot Robert, who's pushing his suitcase toward me.

As he stares at Anson in my arms, he exclaims in surprise, "Winona, is this my and Claire's child? You raised him well!

"Unfortunately, we're already married overseas, so I can no longer marry you. But don't worry, Winona. To me, you're already my wife."

As I look at Robert's face, which is rather similar to Anson's features, I let out a soft chuckle.

"Don't go around mistaking other people's children for your own, Robert. Anyway, this is your younger cousin."

Robert Jensen's expression stiffened, the delight quickly fading from his face. He furrowed his brow and said, "You ought to stop being so unreasonable, Winona. You accepted the wedding gifts even though the wedding didn't happen back then, so you're still considered part of the Jensen family.

"How can you speak so indiscreetly? I have only one uncle, who has never married. If he hears you spreading such malicious rumors, he will be highly displeased with you, Winona."

I was truly rendered speechless by his self-righteous demeanor.

He and I were originally in an arranged marriage set up by our families long ago, and I had always merely done my duty as his fiancee. He actually dared to skip out on the wedding, so the Jensen family naturally had to put forward someone else to fulfill the alliance with the Mellor family.

Joshua Jensen, Robert's uncle, hadn't just given me double the wedding gifts; over the years, he had completely doted on me.

I eventually became the wife of the head of the Jensen family—the legitimate Mrs. Jensen—and Robert's aunt. Robert's parents had to treat me with absolute courtesy, so he certainly had no right to act out.

It was then that my son, Anson Jensen, tugged at my clothes, looking up at me timidly. "Who is this man, Mommy? I don't know him."

I gently ruffled his hair, paid Robert no further attention, and turned to walk toward the parking lot.

"You can't leave!" Robert exclaimed, reaching out to stop me.

Claire Lake rushed up from behind us,
