My whole body went cold as I looked at him. “Xin?“ I called. I couldn't believe that he was trying to threaten me like that.But he only stared back at me. His eyes were so distant that I almost forgot I knew him in the past. “Yes, I mean that. I will take him away, and you will never see him again."“Noo!“ I said, shaking my head. “You won't do that. I won't allow you to do it.“Who did he think he was? He has failed as a husband and as a dad. What made him think that he could just come out of nowhere and give commands?“You can give it a try if you think it is a joke,” he said. “Isabel, I give you three days to make your decision. On Wednesday, my son will sleep in my house.“I pushed him away angrily. “Who do you think you are, Xin? I won't give up my son. I will fight for him!“ I almost shouted.But deep down, I was still so scared. What if he actually took my child away? I wasn't sure I would ever win against him in court.“You are free to do it, darling. File for his custody, an
The old man's face turned uglier. “What are you trying to say, Xin? Is it because of her again?“ He asked. He hated it so much when his grandson struggled to fight for that useless woman.Xin knew that things would get out of hand if he continued speaking like that. Even though he was still so mad, he sighed.“I mean that if I had known that she was pregnant with my child, I would ask her to give birth and leave the child behind,” he explained. And the old man's face was slightly relaxed.Under the table, Xin clenched his fists. He hated it when he was being controlled like a small child who didn't know what was right and wrong.“You know what to do, Xin. Little Lion is our blood. Moreso, I love the kid,” he said. Little Lion was the only fourth-generation child that they had for the time being.Xin slowly nodded his head. “I am handling it,” he said. Of course, he knew that it was all about filing for the custody of the child.…Abby kept looking at her phone, which was on the bed be
…I stood in front of the master bedroom with tears in my eyes. No matter how hard I knocked on the door, Little Lion refused to open it. I felt so helpless.A few minutes later, I heard footsteps as someone walked downstairs. And I only felt worse when Xin's grandfather stopped beside me with a smile on his face.“Oops! I didn't know you had such a complicated personality,” he said, his hands in his pockets.I looked at him in confusion. I had begun to understand why Xin never brought me to see his family, even after being married for one year. Xin's grandfather didn't like me even a little.“What do you mean?“ I asked, trying hard not to cry out aloud. I didn't know why my life always had to be that dark. It was exhausting.“What do I mean? You made sure to crawl into his bed when he wanted to divorce you. Five years later, you come back with his child. What do you want? Money?“ He asked, his expression suddenly changing.And I shuddered. He looked like he wanted to kill me that ins
…When Xin stepped out of the room, his heart was beating so fast. He lifted his hand and touched his chest. He then took a deep breath, and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips again.He turned to look at the closed door behind him before slowly walking downstairs.He knocked on Little Lion's door a few times, but the child did not open it. Left with no choice, he looked for the spare key and opened the door.And the sight that befell him made his heart ache. On the bed, Little Lion was seated. His face was covered in tears, and his shoulders were shaking.Xin slowly sat on the bed beside the child, but Little Lion turned to face the other side. He still did not believe that both his mom and Xin had lied to him.While everyone was laughing at him at school for being fatherless, he had the most powerful dad in the country. It hurt him.“I didn't know that you were my son until today, when I came to look for you at the park,” Xin quietly explained. He understood what the child wa
…Abby fell asleep while crying. However, a knock at the door woke her up. She creased her brows in irritation. Who would be disturbing her sleep at such a time?But when there was another knock, she sat up and looked at the clock. It was only ten o'clock in the evening. Huh! Her eyes widened. How did she fall asleep that early?She stretched a bit before going to open the door. And the person before her made her blink her eyes. “Chris?“ She called in confusion.Chris immediately pulled her into his arms. “I was about to break down your door if you didn't open it,” he said. He had missed her so much.Tears immediately welled in Abby's eyes. “I thought you would never come back,” she said. She was scared that maybe she would never see him again.Chris pinched her cheeks and pulled her into the house. “Never come back? Are you crazy? I will die if I don't come back to you,” he said, pressing his lips against her.How could he voluntarily choose to stay away from someone as sweet as Abby
“You are not putting on your slippers, darling. You might catch a cold,” he said so close to my ears that I shivered.His warm breath caressed my skin, and goosebumps formed all over. My heart also began beating so fast.He put me back on the bed and put a pair of slippers on the floor. “Put them on when you want to run around,” he said.I sighed and looked away from him. I didn't know what he was trying to play at. The last thing I remembered was that he was so mad at me that he couldn't even talk to me. Why was he so sweet all of a sudden?He walked into the bathroom and came out a few minutes later. “Your bath is ready. I will send some fresh clothes over. Once you are done, come down for breakfast,” he said calmly.And I almost laughed. “Xin?“ I called in confusion. “What the hell are you trying to do? I didn't move into your house.“Xin looked at me briefly before shrugging his shoulders. “I didn't say you moved in, sweetheart. I just thought that you wouldn't have enough time to
Goosebumps formed all over my skin when he asked me that. My lips moved for a while, but I just did not know what to say.“Honey, do you have any? Why aren't you saying anything?“ He asked again, moving closer to me.And all I could do was shake my head at him. “You won't do this to me, Xin. Why are you always so heartless?“ I asked.When I signed the divorce papers five years ago, I did not ever think about having a copy for myself. I had left it at his house without even taking a picture of it.I was so naive at that time that I didn't even have a lawyer for myself. How could I be that stupid? I didn't have any proof that we were divorced.“Do what, darling? I'm not hurting you. I just want to give you the life that you deserve, okay?“ He asked and leaned closer to me.I shook my head at him. “I don't want that life. My son and I have been doing just fine. Why don't you leave us alone?“ I asked. That was what I wanted. I didn't want any more connection with him.But his expression t
And when he got out of the car, he opened my door and forced me out. He tightly held my hand in his and began walking away.“Xin, what are you doing?“ I asked in confusion. What had gotten over him? Did he want us to walk like that to the office?Xin only shrugged his shoulders. "I am going to the office with my wife. Is something wrong with that?“ He asked. His calmness shocked me more.“But everyone will look at us,” I tried to say to him. How would we explain things to everyone if they saw us like that?“I don't care what anyone says, darling. Let us go to work,” he said, pulling away.I could see the look of shock on some of the guards that were around. It felt so awkward. All I could do was look at the floor as he pulled me to his private lift.Since I wasn't looking at him, I ended up bumping into his chest. “Ouch!“ I winced in pain and rubbed my chest.Xin hurriedly looked at me. “Are you okay?“ He asked, and his hand went to my chest. I didn't know what he was just about to do
