I Left the Son to My Ex's Mistress, He Regrets Chapter 10
Evelyn's POVThe next morning, I woke up to see Adrian staring at me with a dark expression. I got out of bed, pulled on a robe, and headed for the kitchen to make some coffee. Adrian was right behind me.“Who gave you permission to go to that bar last night?” he demanded.“I beg your pardon!” I cried. “I don’t need to ask you.”He followed me around the house, berating me. I had to get out. Back in my room, I hastily got dressed and charged out the front door.Adrian followed me outside. “Where do you think you’re going, now?”“Oh, get lost. I’ve got some errands to run,” I countered. I got into my car and drove away. I was headed for the drug store, I had a script to fill, as part of my treatment regimen.I parked, and as I headed for the drug store I saw Adrian’s Cadillac swerving into the parking lot, he was driving like a demon.“Oh, good Lord!” I muttered, feeling really annoyed.On the sidewalk in front of the store entry, he crowded in on me. He reached out to grab my wrist.

Evelyn's POVI raced to the kindergarten, sweat beading on my forehead as I tried to calm my breathing. I was feeling weak, washed out from the domestic conflict, and now this! A dull pain throbbed inside me but I pushed any thought of it aside.I hurried from the parking lot to the foot of the steps leading into the preschool, where I paused to catch my breath. I stopped beside the preschool’s plaque, mounted on a brick plinth. The inscription read: “The Hastings Memorial Kindergarten”.It was well-known that Nicholas Hastings was a generous donor to the school. They had honored his benevolence by awarding him naming rights, and gave him a seat on the board of directors.Rallying, I hurried inside. I found Vivian Brooks and the preschool principal in one of the classrooms, and with them were Liam, and Sophie Hastings. The children were sitting apart, on the mats, and they didn’t look happy.“Ah, Mrs Whitman,” said the principal. “I’m glad you could get here so soon.”Cutting straigh

Evelyn's POVHis cutting tone carried a hint of menace as Nicholas Hastings looked down at the principal. The hypocritical expression on the principal’s face began to crack.Vivian Brooks never expected that what was supposed to embarrass me, would ultimately lead to her own downfall.Turning to Mr. Adams, she tried, "Principal, I—"Nicholas didn’t care to hear the principal’s response. He strode further into the room and scooped Sophie into his arms. The small child looked fragile in his embrace, evoking an aching sense of compassion in me."You got Miss Vivian in trouble! I hate you!" Liam yelled at me, "You have to let Miss Vivian stay, or you can’t be my mother!"I was too focused on Sophie to care about Liam’s demands. Instead, his remark only fueled my anger. I turned to him and said coldly, "You haven’t been my son for a long time. If you want someone else to be your mother, go ahead and choose whoever you like."A thankless child like this? Whoever wants him can have him!Hast

Nicholas's POVI stood aside, watching Evelyn and our daughter together, feeling a strange sense of happiness as she gently comforted Sophie. Her eyes were soft, and her smile was warm. I was inexplicably moved with the urge to tell her the truth — that Sophie is our child.I’ll never regret that night. Even though it was a ridiculous accident, it was still the happiest moment of my life. I’ve always been attracted to Evelyn, even though the one she cared for wasn’t me, even though she had never truly seen me. I couldn’t help but fall for her.But what I didn’t expect was that when we met again, she had forgotten about us. More cruelly, she had forgotten that she had a daughter.As Evelyn was reaching for an extra pillow for Sophie, she tripped and nearly fell. I instinctively rushed over and steadied her. "Be careful. Are you okay?"She froze for a moment, clearly startled by my reaction. I eased my grip on her, making sure not to let her fall."I'm... fine..." She had scraped her ar

Evelyn's POVSophie needed to stay at the hospital a little longer, so we returned to the car. Nicholas said, “I’ll drop you at your home.”Feeling bitter, I said, “I don’t consider it my home anymore. It’s just somewhere I am staying for the next few months.”Nicholas gave me a searching look. "Are you planning to divorce your husband?"I nodded, my gaze calm and firm. "Yes, Adrian has taken advantage of the situation, and I won’t give him another chance."Six years of marriage have been enough. I’ve already wasted too much time in a loveless marriage. He has even turned my son against me and there was nothing left to go home to."How do you plan to handle it?""He must pay the price!" Now is the time for reckoning. Let him pay back everything!Nicholas looked at me thoughtfully. After a brief pause, he took a business card from his suit pocket and handed it to me. "This lawyer is very experienced and has handled many similar cases. If you want to fight this battle well, I suggest yo

Evelyn's POV"Vivian! Wait!"The nauseating voice came from behind us. Even now, hearing it causes a physical revulsion. Both Vivian and I looked back and saw Adrian running to join us. I was tempted to hail a cab right away but the look on his face made me freeze. What now?Vivian took the opportunity to rush to Adrian's side. Suddenly, her eyes reddened, and her tone changed from harsh to soft and fragile, as she whimpered, "Adrian, I really don’t know what I did to offend Mrs. Whitman. It’s her fault I was fired and this job was very important to me.""Evelyn?" Adrian ignored Vivian's flirtatious whining and focused his cold gaze on me. His tone was icy. "We are husband and wife. Are you trying to ruin me?" he demanded, his eyes filled with rage."Adrian, you've ended up like this through your own actions!" I took a step back, disgusted with him. "Husband and wife? Why didn’t you think about that when you were cheating on me?"Adrian rubbed his temples impatiently, his tone casual

Evelyn's POVLooking at Liam's face, which so much resembled Adrian's, my heart skipped a beat. I crouched down and gently stroked his cheek. "Liam, do you really love Mommy?"He gazed at me with his big blue eyes, full of the innocence of childhood. "Of course, I love you!" Liam paused for a moment, as if trying to consider something, and then kissed me on the cheek. "Liam loves Mommy the most, but why do you and Daddy always shout?"I was momentarily stunned, and before I could respond, Adrian chuckled and ruffled Liam's hair. "Son, Mommy just throws tantrums. Daddy works very hard every day, and Mommy should take care of you and the house, right?"Liam nodded happily. "Daddy works hard, Mommy keeps house. Miss Vivian taught us that family members should help each other."I stared at him, dumbfounded, feeling a deep ache in my heart. Adrian has been coaching him again. The poor little boy doesn’t know the implications of what he has been encouraged to say.Adrian looked at Liam wit

Evelyn’s POVI went straight to the hospital. Today was Sophie’s last day there, before she would be discharged.When she saw me, her eyes lit up. "Miss Evelyn!""How are you feeling today, Sophie?"She pouted, looking troubled. "I have to take medicine that tastes awful."I gently stroked her hair, unconsciously thinking of Liam. Maybe my son and I really have no karmic bond as mother and child. That thought was so sad.Sophie shared the stories of the past few days with me. I was so absorbed in what she was saying that I didn’t even notice when Nicholas arrived."Daddy!" Sophie cried, her eyes brightening, her smile wide. She stretched out her little hands for a hug. "Miss Evelyn seems upset today, we need to make her feel better."I was surprised by how perceptive the child was, yet still curious enough to ask, "How did you know?"She replied as if it was obvious, "Your eyes are all puffy and red, and you seem sad."My heart tightened. No matter how well I hid it, this little girl

Evelyn’s POVAfter Charlotte left, the whole house became much quieter, and Sophie’s emotional state soon calmed down.“I’m sorry about your clothes being ruined.” Nicholas said. He instructed his housekeeper to bring me a clean set of clothes, and I looked at him in surprise.“You have clothes for me?” I asked, wondering.“Well, I thought it through. Sophie likes you, and if you stay overnight, having a fresh change of clothes would be convenient,” he quickly explained, when he saw my confusion.I smiled vaguely but didn’t say anything further. I went to the guest room to change and was pleased to find the outfit is in my style, a slim-fitting suit that flatters my figure.When I walked back to the living room to join them, I was met with the appreciative gazes of father and daughter.“Miss Evelyn, you look so beautiful!” Sophie’s nosebleed had stopped, and she gave me a generous smile.“I’m sorry, Evelyn,” said Nicholas. “Charlotte has been spoiled by my family and speaks without th

Evelyn’s POVAfter I spent the night not leaving his side, Liam regained some of his energy, looking at me with a pitiful expression. If it had been before, I would have rushed to hug him without a second thought.But… The memory of him pushing me away and shouting, "I don't want a mommy like you," still torments me.He climbed out of bed. "Mom... can you hug me?" Liam pouted, about to cry.I squatted down to his level and looked him in the eyes. "Liam, I'm here. But you need to tell me, why do you suddenly want a hug?"He blurted out, "Because... when I can't breathe, only the food you give me makes me feel better."My heart tugged. He still remembers that. We went down to the kitchen and prepared him a few simple dishes, according to his preferences, and he eagerly ate the meal.After his breakfast, I was about to leave, when Liam grabbed my hand possessively. "Are you going?"I gently held his small hand. "I will always love you. But right now, another sick little child also needs

Evelyn’s POVThe next morning, I awoke in my hotel suite. The sun was shining brightly, and it promised to be a good day. Even though I felt sick, I couldn’t neglect myself. I casually picked out a light blue dress, and it made me look much better — at least I didn’t look so haggard anymore.I went to a café in the city center. The atmosphere was quiet, redolent with a rich coffee aroma. I ordered a latte and leisurely flipped through a book, immersing myself in the rare tranquility.Until I looked up and saw Adrian approaching my table.“I came to find you, but you weren’t there,” Adrian said, his dark circles deep from lack of sleep. “Liam has agreed to eat the prescribed food you make. You know, for his health. Could you come back? Back to us?”I stirred my coffee leisurely, before taking a small sip. “What’s the matter? Is the Whitman family too stingy to hire a nanny?”“You know Liam needs the food you make him.” Adrian sighed tiredly, no doubt exhausted from all the recent t
