Kicked Out by Her Billionaire Husband — She Returned Five Years Later With the Son He Never Knew Existed
Chapter 5
Ethan couldn’t stop staring at Noah.
The child had his eyes.
Not similar.
Not close.
His.
Every instinct told him something impossible.
“How old is he?”
Olivia didn’t answer.
“Olivia.”
“Four.”
Ethan’s face changed.
Four years.
He looked at her.
“You were pregnant.”
It wasn’t a question.
She looked away.
“I was.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
She laughed once, bitterly.
“You told me to leave.”
“I didn’t know.”
“You didn’t ask.”
Ethan stepped closer.
“I would have wanted to know.”
Olivia’s eyes filled with tears.
“You believed I betrayed you.”
“I was wrong.”
“You didn’t even let me explain.”
Silence.
Noah watched them from behind his mother’s hand.
Ethan lowered himself to the child’s height.
“What’s your name?”
“Noah.”
Ethan swallowed.
“I’m Ethan.”
Noah studied him.
“My mom says you’re important.”
Olivia closed her eyes.
She hadn’t said that.
Not exactly.
Ethan stood again.
“Is he mine?”
Olivia looked directly at him.
“Yes.”
The word changed everything.
Ethan turned away.
Five years of missing time.
Five birthdays.
First steps.
First words.
First day of school.
He had missed all of it.
And suddenly, the most powerful man in the room looked completely helpless.
