Chapter 221: Do You Want To Eat, Shower, Or Eat Me First?
“Edward, what’s going on? Tell me clearly.”

Catherine’s initial charming expression had turned into that of a lion. Her light-colored pupils were burning with flames as she reached out and grabbed Edward’s ear.

“What do you mean, what’s going on? That has nothing to do with me. The astrologer said that Watson is the border count’s illegitimate child. The border count is a man, and I am also a man. We can’t have a child between the two men, right?”

Edward’s face was pained as he was dragged by his ear. He screamed in agony and defended himself.

Catherine considered it and concluded that this was the case. She relaxed her grip a little bit more. “So, with whom do you think the border count had a child? Did you secretly bring some filthy woman into Blackmoon Castle?”

“I’m Innocent!”

Edward raised both of his hands, aggrieved.

Usually, when one heard that Watson was the border count’s illegitimate child, would Catherine not be the first to suspect him? After all, he had seen Catherine give birth to Watson. He did not expect Catherine to launch an interrogation attack on him first.

Edward felt that there was a chance that Watson was the border count’s child. Watson, after all, was bright from a young age. His talent and wisdom far surpassed that of his contemporaries. He was handsome and did not resemble his child at all; on the contrary, he resembled the kingdom’s number one mage, Sylvan.

Furthermore, Watson had just proposed such an extravagant contract. Sylvan had accepted it silently, and his wife had accused him of such evil behavior. Edward’s suspicion got even stronger. Could Watson really be Sylvan’s child?

“Am I your illegitimate child, Lord Sylvan, or did you raise me in the Blackmoon Castle? Who told you that?”

Watson listened for a long time from the side, and the corner of his mouth twitched as he looked at Sylvan.

He could not possibly be Sylvan’s child. Sylvan was an elf, and if he were Sylvan’s child, he would also have elven traits. Furthermore, if he had been Sylvan’s child, he would not have had such a miserable life. Did Sylvan say that because Blackmoon Castle was powerful and wanted to get close to him, so he purposefully took advantage of him?

“Watson, why do you ask that? Don’t you know?”

Sylvan was stumped. Antonio had asked him to be Watson’s father. He thought that Antonio might not have told Edward and his wife, or at least Watson. He did not expect that Watson did not know either.

Subconsciously, he looked at Antonio, who was resting with his eyes closed. “Master, what’s going on? You said Watson was my illegitimate child. Are you kidding me?”

“I don’t have that kind of leisure. Did I not make it clear just now? I heard Watson was your illegitimate child. I did not make that up; the maids in the house said that.” Antonio rubbed his sore eyes; he sensed that the atmosphere was not right. He looked at Sylvan. “Maybe this is a misunderstanding. Sylvan, are you sure you’re not Watson’s father?”

“I’m sure.”

“Then why didn’t you refute me when I said that you were Watson’s father?”

Sylvan gave a bitter smile in response to Antonio’s constant questioning. He had already understood.

“That is because I assumed everything was planned by you, Master.” I thought you wanted me to give Watson the identity as my illegitimate son so that he would not be attacked at the border. That is why I said yes. Actually, I have nothing to do with Watson! Master, perhaps the maids were spreading rumors and deceived you.”
