Chapter 1377

Natalie nodded.

"Yeah, we do."

"Then tell me.Who is the father?" demanded Caitlin while grabbing Natalie's wrist.

The latter sighed and answered, "It's Stanley's."

I should've realized it sooner.

Joyce was acting a little off yesterday, and I should've known that she is pregnant.

"Stanley?" said Caitlin.

She was surprised to learn that.

"How could the father be Stanley? I thought he hates Joyce, so why would he impregnate her?"

Natalie had no choice but to share everything.

"It was an accident.About a month ago, Joyce and Stanley got drunk, and..."

"Nat, what did you just say?" asked Jonathan.

His voice was burning with infinite rage when it came from inside the room.He walked right to Natalie
and demanded, "Did you just say that Stanley is the father?"

Natalie nodded.

"About a month ago, an incident happened between Joyce and Stanley, so he is likely the father."



"That b*stard!" roared Jonathan angrily after learning who knocked up his daughter.

He clenched his fist, and his wrinkled face brimmed with fury.

Caitlin was devastated as well.

"How could it be Stanley? Of all the people in the world, why did it have to be him?"

She would rather the kid's father be a gangster than to have Stanley be the biological dad.

Jonathan felt just as bad for his daughter, so he spat his angry words through gritted teeth.

"That f*cking a*shole! He doesn't love my daughter, so why did he...No, I will not stand idly by.I'll hunt
that guy down for this!"

A father would understandably drown in sadness when he saw his daughter loving someone deeply
and not have that love reciprocated.

When Jonathan witnessed his daughter crying and in pain for Stanley, his heart ached as though a
knife was piercing through it.

Any father would hope that his daughter would lead a happy life.

That was why, despite knowing that the Rivers family had wronged the Quinn family, Jonathan still
prayed that his daughter wouldn't end up with Stanley.He would repay the Quinn family in some other
way.

Jonathan and Caitlin both knew how Stanley had been treating Joyce.

The guy was neglectful, cruel, and heartless.

In other words, they Knew he didn't care about Joyce or love her.



Jonathan and Caitlin were the parents, and they were heartbroken to see their daughter being rejected
despite all the love she gave.

Still, they understood how things were for Stanley.

After all, when it came to the matter of the hearts, nothing could be forced.

Falling in love was not a voluntary action, and it was not as though there was a switch to be flipped.

No one was obligated to love someone who had fallen for them as well.

That was why Jonathan and Caitlin had never put the blame on Stanley or pressured him into loving
their daughter back.

On top of that, they knew the Rivers family owed the Quinn family.

That made it even more impossible for them to ask Stanley to give Joyce a chance.

It got to the point where they didn't even complain when Stanley broke Joyce's heart.

Despite all that, Stanley should never, ever have slept with Joyce or impregnated her without loving
her.

That was why they would not let Stanley off the hook, regardless of what the Rivers family had done to
the Quinn family.

If Stanley hated the Rivers family, then he could’ve just gone after Caitlin and Jonathan.

They would pay for their mistake.



Why did he have to toy with Joyce's feelings instead? Also, why did he impregnate Joyce? Is he going
to abandon her and the baby to get back at us? The more Jonathan thought about it, the angrier he
got.

His face turned red, and his entire body swayed.It seemed he was on the verge of fainting.

Fortunately, Caitlin was there to hold him in place and prevent that from happening.

"Give me the cell phone," requested Jonathan after he took a deep breath and put his hand out to
Caitlin.

She knew what he was planning to do, so she let go of his arm right away and handed him the phone.

They were in agreement on the matter and thought that they should call Stanley to get to the bottom of
it all.

Did he impregnate Joyce on purpose? Or was it really an accident? However, when Jonathan had the
phone with him, Natalie spoke up.

"There is no point in doing that, Mr.Rivers.You won't find Stanley.I called him when I first learned about
Joyce's attempted suicide, but his phone has been turned off.We have no way of contacting him at all."
