Married To The Mad Vampire Lord novel Chapter 423

Chapter 423: The fight_Part 4

Evenly knew Angel too well. She could feel the way his body tensed, ready to act and attack Josh. She quickly tightened her hold around him and turned to give him a soft smile, her voice reassuring. "Don’t worry, I can handle this."

That small act only made Josh and Cordelia even more convinced that the boy truly belonged to her, because he listened and only glared at them.

"I don’t know what gave you the audacity to think you can hit me the way you just did, or what you’re talking about, Josh, but I don’t want trouble and won’t fight you—" Evenly began with a collected voice.

"Enough of your nonsense," Josh cut her off, spitting the words through clenched teeth. "You hid my son from me and thought I’d never find out?" His eyes flicked down to Angel, whose face had hardened, his tiny glare burning like he was trying to scare Josh away. But of course, Josh was too stupid and completely oblivious to the danger of claiming another man’s son. He didn’t notice that the look in the boy’s eyes was murderous. He was too busy fantasizing about having a son, a boy who could kill him in the blink of an eye.

Realization dawned not only on Evenly but also on Belle, who stood just a few steps away. Does Mr. Clifton think Angel is his? Belle thought in disbelief. What on earth gave him that idea or made him have the courage to confront Evenly? But then, wasn’t it better to let him believe the boy was Evenly’s child than to let him know the truth, that Angel belonged to her and Rohan? Especially with the poisonous snake Cordelia slithering behind him?

"What makes you think he’s your son?" Evenly scoffed coldly. She itched to slap him back, to return the hit with the full force of her vampire strength and knock him flat on his back. But Angel was in her arms, and he needed both hands to be held steady, or he’d cause a scene far worse than a slap.

"Then whose child is it?" Josh demanded, his voice loud enough to make Belle tense. She didn’t want any attention drawn to her son, and Josh’s loud question brought every eye in the crowd to her little boy.

"He is mine, but that doesn’t make you the father," Evenly said calmly. Since he was foolish enough to believe she could actually give birth and hide his son, she’d claim him without hesitation.

"Then tell me, bitch, who the hell is his father? Did you spread your skirts for another man when you were married to me?" Josh sneered, his tone dripping with arrogance. In his mind, he imagined taking the boy to his father to boast and secure his rightful inheritance. And the more he looked, the more his twisted ego convinced him that Angel looked like him. The strands of dark hair beneath his cap, the beauty that ran in the Clifton genes, the boy has it and it all seemed to match in his deluded head. "Did any other man go through your—"

"I would watch my words closely if I were you, Sire," came Rav’s calm but hard voice, cutting through the stirring murmurs of the curious crowd that had started with Josh’s accusations against his former wife in a public place.

Josh and Cordelia turned to see him walking toward them, his expression unreadable but his eyes carrying a quiet warning toward the nobleman to watch his words.
