The party was in full swing the entire night. Ashley noticed that there was no shadow of Talia. Remembering her clarification post, she reckoned that Talia might be feeling aggrieved right now; hence, she did not attend the party. Ashley felt that it was a pity. Though she did not really like the announcement of the Old Man to her son’s inheritance right, she also wanted to see Talia’s reaction.Ashley was curious how Talia, who dreamed to be the future Madam Elijah and bear the heir of the Elijah Consortium, would react if her dream about carrying-the-future-heir was shattered by this formal announcement.Ashley only felt a trace of pity for a good minute before she shoved Talia’s matter at the back of her mind along with Jaxon. Now, what she was concern about was the Old Man’s motive. This did not happen in her past life. Thinking that it might be because of the butterfly effect of what she had done in this life, Ashley sensed a crisis coming.She did not like this feeling. But what

Ashley was absentminded as she stared at the figure of her son who was talking and giggling with her workers in the store. What her son said yesterday echoed in her mind. And she hated this feeling more than anyone else.Years of feelings…the accumulation of simple admiration which gave birth to hope and expectations only to be shattered after decades of patience and love…She thought she could shove it easily at the back of her head like she usually did whenever it was related to him.But now, no matter how she hypnotized herself while she reminded that tragic day in her previous life, Ashley could not lie to herself that she did not care. It may not be the same as before, but that tinge of pain…it was there.It was not as intense as before, but she could not deny that it was not there. Ashley still cared about him, but her desire to live happily with her son was bigger.“Boss?” The manager of the processing plant interrupted her train of thoughts.Ashley shook her head and smiled pro

Five minutes before the amusement park opened for the customers, two silhouettes mixed among the crowd. One was slender and tall while the other barely reached the waist of the former. Amid the dazzling sun and bustling crowd, the two did not utter a single sound of negativity, especially the small one.The unsuspecting duo was no other than Ashley and Scottie. They wore simple tee shirts paired with jeans and comfortable shoes. They had something in common—they both wore pink. Ashley was sporting a baseball cap and sunglasses while Scottie was wearing a hat and a face mask.From time to time, the two would glance at their watches. Ashley was not that obvious compared to Scottie who almost glued his face against his robot watch.“Mommy, is my watch defective?” Scottie asked his mother for the nth time.Ashley never got tired of answering. She showed her watch to her son with a smile. “It’s not late, little treasure. Look! We have the same time, see?”Cute pouty lips answered Ashley, m

The person walked towards the mother and son. Every step was decisive but the air of nobility never wavered even when the haggard face became clearer as the distance between them became smaller.Ashley remained standing on her spot. She was frozen on the spot. A part of her wanted to turn back while another part of her wanted to rush to him and slap him hard. In the end, Ashley could only hug the child in her arms who was yet to know the presence of the person before them.He stopped a meter in front of Ashley. At the same time, Scottie noticed that they suddenly stopped so he twisted his body around and asked his mother.“Mommy, why did we—Daddy?!” Scottie’s eyes widened. His small body stiffened upon seeing the familiar man who was blocking their way. Doubts flashed in his mind, but he was still a child after all. In an instant, his mind was filled with grievances because his father was later and with happiness because his father did not break the appointment, although late. What ma

The sound of the door closing made Ashley looked back. She met his eyes that once mesmerized her so. She walked to the couch and made herself comfortable as she crossed her legs and said: “Where’s the divorce papers? You brought it, right?”After what happened today, Ashley was more resolute in divorcing him as soon as possible. She saw the deep schemes in Talia’s eyes and the snake-like gleam that flashed across her eyes when she glanced at Scottie. For Ashley, Talia was a ticking time bomb.Bombs should be eliminated as soon as possible.Sitting upright like always, his sharp eyes scrutinized Ashley openly as if he really wanted to see if this divorce farce was only to get his attention or she was really serious. Immediately, Jaxon got his answer.He coughed slightly, his fist covering his mouth as he averted his gaze to hide the emotions that quickly flashed across his eyes for a split second. He did not like this new side of him—the indecisive side that seemed to hesitate divorcin

“Mommy, where’s Dad?” Scottie, who just woke up, rubbed his left eye as he walked towards his mother. He expertly sat beside his mother and curled like a cat against her arm before he used his mother’s lap as pillow.Ashley, who was drinking her coffee, caressed her son’s ruffled fluffy hair with a gently smile on her lips. “He went back to the Capital City last night, little dumpling. Your father still has a big company to manage, you know.”‘He is being a coward again,’ Ashley thought with a scoff.But she could not possibly tell her son these words, seeing how attached he was to his father. Though this realization made her comfortable, she knew that it was bad if her son harbored bad feelings to his father. The arguments of the adults should belong to the world of the adults. As parents, Scottie was their common ground that they could not taint no matter how painful it was. As a mother, she wanted to protect this save place for her son.Scottie was already satisfied when his father
