The Regret of the Ex-husband

James glared at me coldly and then went back to his room with Brenda in his arms.I then carried Laura to the table in my arms and was going to celebrate her birthday."Mom, does Dad not like me?" Laura asked all of a sudden.I didn't want Laura to be filled with hatred, so I lied to her. "Laura's a good girl, why would Dad not like you?""Then why doesn't he carry me in his arms?" Laura lowered her head and began crying.I kissed her pink cheeks, but didn't know how to comfort her.'Silly child. Your dad wants you dead, so there's no way that he would want to carry you in his arms,' I thought.I couldn't help but start crying again.My tears landed on the back of Laura's head. She reached out and tried to wipe away my tears."Don't cry, Mom. I don't want Dad to carry me anymore. It's all my fault that you're crying again."James walked out of the bedroom and frowned when he saw Laura and me crying."Catherine, we need to talk."I wiped away the tears on my face. "What do y

I felt that James would be overjoyed. After all, he loved Nova Collins so much.Even though she abandoned him for a rich guy seven years ago, he still loved her.He loved her to the core.As for me, the wife that stood by his side as he started his own company, was just an object that could satisfy his needs.He would wave at me when he needed me and would give me the silent treatment when he didn't.However, he was the one who begged me to marry him all those years back.Why did he treat me like this after I agreed to marry him?I felt that I had been a fool as well.He probably begged me to marry him because of the money that I had.He would no longer need me after he got the money. Therefore, he had lost his patience with me as well."Mom..." Laura suddenly woke up.I felt that she was very uncomfortable because her voice was like a whisper.I got rid of all the thoughts in my head and went to the side of the bed to comfort her."How do you feel, sweetheart? Do you stil

James kept his head lowered and didn't look at me at all.I guessed that he wanted to divorce me as well.That way, he could successfully become Brenda's father and Nova's husband. He could also be the official son-in-law of the Somerfield family.However, I wasn't going to let him get what he wanted."I'm sorry, but the divorce is a matter between me and James. It has nothing to do with anyone else."With that said, I turned on my heels to leave.Jacob's cursing sounded from behind as I left. "Look at her. She's not grateful at all.""Don't say that, Jacob. It's not her fault that the nurses made a mistake at the hospital. Let's not bring the divorce up again in the future. We can't ruin her family because of Brenda.""How are you ruining her family?" Jacob was still mad. "James loves you, not her. I'm suggesting this for her own could. Instead of torturing each other, why can't she give both of them a better time by getting a divorce? Am I right, James?"I didn't hear James'

I closed the door with an indifferent look on my face and then bent down to comfort Laura."What's up, crybaby? Why are you crying again?"Laura continued sobbing. "Let me give you a rub, Mom. It'll ease the pain.""I'm not in pain at all." I picked Laura up in my arms and sat down on the sofa.I began to think that living too close to James wasn't exactly a good thing.Brenda was really important to the Somerfield family, so they would definitely come to James's house very often.Laura would be upset every time they showed up. This might lead to her having mental illnesses in the future. I had to rethink the arrangements for Laura's future.On the morning of the next day. I sent Laura to school and went to a charity house to see if Laura could be sent there after I died.The manager, Mrs. Brown, told me that Laura was not eligible to be taken in by the charity house.I cried and begged, "Mrs. Brown, I'm dying. My parents are dead, her father and his parents doesn't love her a

Rory came back at eight o'clock in the morning on Friday. She didn't even have time to head back home and rushed straight to Laura's nursery.She began kissing and hugging Laura as soon as she arrived. "I'm sorry, Laura. I was caught up in something, so I'm a little late.""You're not late, Aunt Rory." Laura shook her head with a smile. "Thank you for coming, Aunt Roy. I'll treat you to some food later on."Rory laughed at those words and rubbed Laura's head. "I have a big appetite. Do you think you have enough money?""Yep!" Laura took out a piggy bank from her bag and passed it to Rory. "This should be enough. I have quite a lot of money in there.""Alright! Then I'll definitely..."Before Rory could finish speaking, I saw James and Nova at either side of Brenda as they walked towards the gates of the nursery.I stood at the entrance and felt a little jealous when I saw how happy the family of three was.However, after feeling jealous, all I had left was hatred."That's Jame
