He was convinced that this was the one thing the child would never do!!! However, if the child had been speaking the truth, then…He had not said some things to her at the hospital as a sign of respect. He did not want to do it in front of the child either because he did not want to destroy the relationship between the mother and daughter. However, they had to face it sooner or later. He stood up. “Molly, take Earth and Cloudy for a bath. I want to talk to your mother.”“Daddy…”Although she was young, Molly was very clever. She was acutely aware that there was something wrong between her mother and father. She wanted to stay but did not dare to. In the end, although reluctant, she left the scene, twisting her head back to look every few steps…The minute the child left, John spoke, “The black puppy is Earth, and the white puppy is Cloudy. I was the one who named them. Such old-fashioned names, yet Molly is a big fan. In the child’s eyes, anything that Daddy gives is the be
Since that was what his daughter had said…“So it was not your mom who made you do that?” There was not a trace of an expression on John’s face when he asked that question. Although Molly had seen her dad’s angry face many times, it was the first time she had seen him be this expressionless with a highly suspicious look in his eyes. Her small hands clasped together subconsciously as she forced herself to say, “No, it was me…” “Then why did you say that in the hospital?”“I... I was scared…”Molly shuddered visibly as she said that. This fear was not faked as her heart was truly swaying. “Aunty Snowden looked so scary, I was so afraid that she was going to hit me. That’s why I said that Mommy made me do it.” John, “...”He was not clear about Natalie’s personality, but after being in contact with her for some time, he had some ideas about her. Even though Natalie had looked scary then, it was only because of her brother. She would never hit anyone, much less a child.Yet,
John could not argue against that point! It was true that while Molly was the best thing that held them together, she was also their biggest obstacle. However, whether he had changed his mind by himself over the years or whether it had changed because of the moments he spent with Molly, he knew that pinning all the blame on the child was not something he wanted to do.He said, “This has nothing to do with Molly!”“Why not? I’m a widow, a widow with a child. I’m not good enough for the young master of the Winters family, am I?” She had been reluctant to say these words, especially the word ‘widow’. However, it was the truth. If there was even an opportunity that she could sway him the slightest, she would not give it up. Red-eyed and weeping, Becky gripped on the collar of her nightgown in pain. “If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have lost to someone who has just spent a few days with you…”What she said was both harsh and pertinent. Upon hearing this, John felt the tingling
Lightly raising her arms, she brought them, along with the glass, around John’s neck. The woman, who was fawning to the extreme over him, raised her head. Within her line of sight was his face, cold as an iceberg but looking heroic. That face! She liked it so much…Her voluptuous red lips inched closer, but at the last minute, he turned his head away to avoid it. With that movement, the glass in Becky’s hand fell with a thud. It rolled on the thick carpet to the wall while she shook like a leaf in the wind. “Why?” John’s face was turned to the side. The lines on his face were cold, and his dark eyes fixed on the floating curtain in front of the window as if it could pull the both of them into a bottomless pool…“It’s late, you should get back and rest.”“John, what’s wrong? You…” ‘Don’t you want me?’The words nearly came out of her mouth. She was a lady and needed to know how to behave. In the face of his unwavering rejection, however, she nearly lost her composure…Her h
This again… Could this woman not live a day without talking about divorce?He originally felt guilty that she had seen them, so when she ran out like crazy, he abandoned everything and chased after her. Yet, now, the more he listened, the more he became irritated and frustrated. Finally, he yelled without meaning to, “Who do you think you are? Do you think you can just get a divorce so simply?” Hearing him speak like an *sshole made Natalie angry too. “Well, what do you want then? Enjoy the blessings of everyone?”She looked at him with a sneer, her eyes damp and dark with mist. “Don’t be too slutty. If you remain this way, you’ll… Lose the person you like sooner or later.” Lose the person he liked? What did she know? How could she know who he liked? Emotions already at peak level, the man’s eyes darkened as he yanked the woman into his arms. As his arms circled her waist, the man locked eyes with her as if he wanted to verify something. All of a sudden, his cold lips
Why did she wish he would continue?Even if she unknowingly started to have feelings for him, how could she still feel happy after being harassed this way?Who would do things that would make themselves unhappy?She still tried to struggle fiercely even if this person grew more excited from her refusal. “Who’s asking you to continue?! Let go of me, let me go…”Perhaps due to his sadistic nature, John was getting more aroused when she struggled to get off of him.However, the excitement was mixed with a complexity he could not understand…He felt as if he was addicted to touching Natalie, and his body would react uncontrollably.He barely felt anything when Becky tried tempting him earlier on, but when he laid his eyes on Natalie and merely heard her voice, he could feel the blood rushing in his body.The urge of wanting her was getting stronger. Even if he knew that he had no place in her heart and she would always want to escape every time he was nearby, but…Even though she
Natalie was half curled up on the bed…The lights were off, and it was nighttime. The only sound that could be heard were the cries in her heart. She should not have been this affected by it, but why were the tears unstoppable?Ah…She knew why! Perhaps, her heart had failed her once more? Perhaps it was because she had fallen for another wrong man?Did she always have such a bad taste?The relationship with Luke was already a lifetime’s worth of damage. Now, she could add John to that list. What a miserable life!However, it seemed that she still cared! Especially when she saw him with Becky…She refused to think about it much longer and decided to wrap herself inside the quilt. She originally wanted to relieve the coldness inside her heart, but she was so exhausted that she fell asleep unconsciously.When John came out of the bathroom, the first thing he saw was her ignorant, harmless, and innocent sleeping face.She was so stubborn when awake, but she looked like a child wh
Half an hour later, Molly went out and returned to the room…The kid initially left empty-handed, yet she had John’s bank card in her hand when she came back.While placing the card into her bag, Becky gave her daughter a gentle hug again. “It seems like Molly truly is Mommy’s precious daughter!”“Yeah! Molly likes Mommy the most.”“Then, you can’t let Daddy know about us taking his card, okay?”Molly was thoroughly in cloud nine from her mother’s gentle treatment. “Yes! Molly won’t tell him…”“Such a good kid!”She coaxed her as she smiled. Although no matter how gentle her expression was, there was no sincerity in her smile…A woman like Natalie had the nerve to steal a man from her!Hah! What a joke!Natalie would soon find out how miserable one would be if they were to go against Becky…——After a night of deep sleep, Natalie continued dreaming past the break of day…There were uncountable good dreams, nightmares, and even unrecallable dreams. It was not until she sudd
