chapter 178

He turned around slowly and his gaze, full of resentment, fell on Bea, who had her head down. the latter perhaps believed that what she had just said would wash away all her sins but even holy water could not save her because he really held a grudge against her. It was impossible to count the number of mistakes he had made through his fault, because he believed that he finally had the chance to be a father. She had made fun of him by giving him a responsibility that was not his.

“Did you really think he would look like me? how can you say such a thing? This kid is mixed race, damn it! mixed race and yet you hoped he would look like me. That said, if he had been white, you would have made me take the burden by making me appear to be the father. Do you have a heart Bea? do you have one?"

“I have a heart Elio and it’s because I have a heart that I love you."
