Chapter 39 She Didn't Deserve Him Long Ago
Early the next morning, Jocelyn was woken up by a thump. She got up, rubbed her eyes and found that Calvin had fallen off the sofa. She couldn't help laughing.
Calvin got up from the ground. Seeing Jocelyn laughing wildly, his handsome face was dark as if the sky clouded over and it would be rainy and windy.
His cold eyes just glanced at Jocelyn and left the room directly without saying a word, for he did not want to see her gloating look.
With a quick tongue last night, Jocelyn occupied the best place, but she also offended Calvin because of it.
After going downstairs in the morning, he had already left for work. In the morning, a car drove up outside. Jocelyn thought it was Calvin who came back, but it was Todd.
Todd specially chose to come here when his cousin was away, carrying a lot of gifts and delicious food in his hand, all of which were for the children.
On seeing Jocelyn, he immediately asked, looking concerned, "Jocelyn, how is your wound? Is it better?"
"I feel much better now."
Jocelyn was inevitably a little embarrassed to see Todd again. Thinking of what his mother had said to her, Jocelyn felt that it was time for her to make it clear with Todd.
"Todd, I'd like to talk with you..."
"Where are Tammy and Jeffrey?"
Todd didn't seem to hear her words. When seeing Tammy, he said excitedly to Jocelyn, "Oh, here comes my girl."
He strode towards Tammy and shouted happily, "Tammy, do you miss Daddy?"
Tammy ran over and threw himself in his arms. Her pink face wore a cute smile, "I miss Daddy, Tammy misses Daddy so much!"
"Where do you miss me?"
"Here, here, here, and here, all miss Daddy!"
Tammy pointed at several parts of his body, and then kissed Daddy.
Todd almost melted with joy, put a big bag of snacks into his daughter's arms, and hugged Tammy, turned around and said to Jocelyn, "Jocelyn, I want to tell you that I have talked about our affairs to my Mom, and she also agrees that you bring the child back to the Garner family. When are you free, let's take the child back together?"
Todd's face was full of joy, and it seemed that he didn't know that his mother came to find her in private.
Jocelyn shook her head and said, "Forget it! I have a lot of things to do recently. I will talk to you later."
"Okay, let's talk about it after I go to see Jeffrey and my little nephew."
For the next time, Todd played with the three children. It was not a good time for Jocelyn to talk with him.
When the children went to play the naughty castle in the garden, Todd accompanied the children and Jocelyn also followed.
When the children were playing, Todd remembered what Jocelyn had said earlier, and asked, "Jocelyn, what are you going to say?"
Facing the man's sincere and burning eyes, Jocelyn sighed inwardly, "Todd, could you please stop coming to see us again?"
"Why?" Todd asked in puzzlement with a stiff smile on his face.
"I'm sorry, but actually I haven't told you that I'm not tutoring Sean now, but..."
"What?"
Jocelyn subconsciously glanced at the naughty castle in the distance, their conversation would not be heard by children, "But, Calvin and I are already married, and I am his wife now, so I can't return to the Garner family with you, sorry."
Jocelyn could only take advantage of Calvin's relationship. She hoped Todd was able to hold back all his emotions.
"Married? With my cousin?"
Todd was in an extreme shock. It was unbelievable. When did Jocelyn marry his cousin?
She suddenly became his cousin-in-law?
No!
How could this be?
"Jocelyn, you must be joking, right? This joke is not funny at all. Why do you say that suddenly? Don't I know my cousin? He can't marry a woman! Did I do something wrong, so you reject me on purpose?"
Todd grabbed Jocelyn's shoulder and questioned with a broken heart.
"No, what I said is true, Todd, I'm sorry..."
Jocelyn was also very sad. She knew that Todd was kind to her.
They had played together since they were children. She almost treated him like her own brother.
She could not love him before, neither could she now. Even without Denise's interference, she might not accept him, because they were too familiar with each other.
"Why did this happen? Why? Why the man is my cousin? I..."
Todd seemed to have been greatly shocked. He couldn't believe that the woman he had been waiting for many years became his cousin's wife. And he should call her cousin-in-law?
Todd looked a little anxious, smoothing down his hair. Thinking of the two children, he asked again, "What about the children? Don't you want to give the child a complete family?
"I marry Calvin. This gives the three children a complete family."
Jocelyn forced herself to be cold, for she couldn't give Todd any hope, and she didn't want to hurt him either.
He deserved better girls, and she didn't deserve him long ago.
"But, they are my son and my daughter! How could..."
Todd's heart was badly hurt. And he felt the feeling of losing his lover and children was no more than that.
"I didn't take a paternity test. Maybe they are not your children at all, Todd. I become like this. I am no longer the girl who in your memory, please forget me!"
Jocelyn thought calmly. The man that night five years ago must not be Todd. She would recognize the man if he was Todd.
And her two children were not like Todd at all.
As what Denise said, maybe the children were not Todd's at all, but a stranger's.
She had a relationship with a stranger and gave birth to children. How could she deserve Todd?
Todd's eyes were wet, and his heart was hurt. He stared at Jocelyn's calm face for a while, nodded and said, "I see, you never thought about going back to the Garner Family with me, did you? Is it because I am not as handsome as my cousin, not as rich as him, and not as good as my cousin, so you chose him?"
Jocelyn smiled bitterly, and shook her head to explain, "No! Todd! I have never compared you with anyone. In my heart, you were and will always be my best brother. I have always regarded you as my own brother. I hope you can understand!"
If they could be together, there was no need to wait until now.
Jocelyn kept saying in her mind, I'm sorry, Todd, you were fine, but I could't be with you.
