"Alexander looks like me, Cynthia looks like you,"
Link said.
"Not necessarily. Isn't there a possibility that neither child is yours but were actually fathered by me with another man? I hid their birth to prevent you from seeing them, because I didn't want you to discover the truth. I'm revealing this now because I no longer want to deceive you. Understand?"
"...."
Link stared at Taylor, his eyes twitching uncontrollably as his face turned darker.
"Do you understand now, Alexander and Cynthia aren't your children. You don't need to care too much about them, be careful not to care about the wrong people, or you'll regret it too late."
Taylor tore open the pitahaya skin, her fingers stained with red juice, a cruel smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
"I don't believe it."
Link picked up an apple and left.
Taylor watched his retreating figure, suddenly lifting the corner of her lips, smiling triumphantly.
