Patricia returned to her room, feeling aggrieved, tears flowing like a newly opened spring.Suddenly, her phone beeped with a WhatsApp message. It was from Charles.‘Mommy, are you free? Fannie and I miss you so much, can we see you?’Not wanting to worry them, Patricia lifted her head, took two deep breaths, and held back her tears. After making sure her face didn't show any sign, she went to the bathroom and started a video call to Charles.He answered immediately. Charles and Fannie's heads squeezed into the small phone screen."Mommy, we miss you so much. Why didn't you come home today?"After speaking, Charles noticed that Patricia's eyes were reddened and hurriedly asked, "Mommy, why are your eyes red? Did you cry? Did that jerk of a dad bully you?"With his reminder, Fannie also noticed that Patricia's expression was off and pouted, "Mommy, how did that jerk of a dad bully you? Tell me and Charles, we'll help you get revenge."Patricia shook her head, forcing out a smile, "Mart
Patricia retaliated without backing down, "Randy is your own great-grandson. Can't a grandson miss his great-grandfather and come to see him? Or are you feeling guilty? Afraid the child might see something?"Gavin's expression turned hideous. "What nonsense are you filling the child's head with? I..."Before he could finish speaking, Randy suddenly picked up a nearby vase and threw it at Gavin. His cute little face turned bright red, resembling an angry beast. "You bad guy! You're not allowed to bully my mommy. If you dare to bully my mommy again, I'll kill you..."Caught off guard, Gavin took the vase straight to his chest. The vase fell to the ground and shattered with a loud "bang." Gavin's face changed, his heart feeling as though it was bleeding. The pain of being hit was nothing compared to the devastation of his heart. After all, the vase was an antique from the Renaissance period that he had spent a hundred million dollars on, and there was only one of its kind. And now, it h
Randy cunningly rolled his eyes. He tasted every dish on the table and then spat it all out."The meat is too tough.""The fish is too fishy.""The soup is so salty, it's killing me.""The caviar tastes fake, it's...""Do you really think it's because I don't want to spend money? If I can't afford it, I have plenty at home. I can give some to you." "Crabs have a strong fishy smell.""These dishes are really terrible, nothing compared to my mom's cooking skills."Almost every dish was criticized as being useless, and finally came the conclusion, "Daddy, the food here is too awful. Let's not come here anymore. The people here are not good either.”“Auntie slapped me, grandpa hit me too. They are all bad people! Only mommy is good to me. She protected me when grandpa wanted to hit me."Upon hearing his words, Gavin's heart skipped a beat. "Randy, what nonsense are you talking about? What if your dad misunderstands? When did grandpa want to hit you? He was trying to pick up the broken va
Seeing her cry, Randy hugged her leg and started crying too. Martin felt a surge of protectiveness towards Patricia as he observed them both, crying, together. Gavin was horrified, his palms sweating as he tried to explain, "Martin, there's a misunderstanding in this matter! Patricia and Debbie are both my daughters. I admit that I have been favoring Debbie, but it's because of her poor health and my guilt towards her.” “I just wanted to compensate her more. Patricia not only fails to understand my good intentions, but also repeatedly hurts Debbie. I'm just so disappointed, which is why I almost lost control and wanted to hit her."Rather than reflecting on himself, he shifted all the blame onto Patricia. Martin's pupils contracted, his gaze turning cold and intense, as he spoke with a chilling curve, "Why should Patricia repay your debts? What about the things you owe her all these years? How do you plan to repay her?"With that one statement, Gavin was left speechless. Martin, lik
Patricia opened the door and when she saw the situation inside, she was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. Jade was hiding under the dining table, covered in paintball marks, with almost no intact spot left, and her appearance was disheveled. Her eyes, which used to shine with spirit and radiance, were now dull and filled with despair. It was the first time Patricia had seen Jade like this, and she didn't want to laugh, but she couldn't help it. She bent over, laughing so hard that her stomach hurt. Jade, who had almost gone crazy from being tormented by the two little ones, ran over to her as if she saw a savior and hugged her arm, sobbing loudly. "Wuwu, you finally came back. If you didn't come back, I wouldn't have seen you." Patricia teased, "Didn't you say you missed them? This is great. Let them play with you for a while longer." Jade, with tears streaming, said, "How would I have known that they have so much energy? It's been only a year, but they've changed
Afraid that the person might come after Randy again, Patricia hurried back to the Ellenstein Villa District before dinner. Randy sat sulking at the table, arms crossed, with a pout on his little mouth. Martin's face was gloomy, indicating his own dissatisfaction as well. Neither of them paid any attention to each other, just staring, with the air filled with tension."I want to find mommy." Randy said in a tone that showed his stubborn nature."Your mommy has her own things to do. She can't be with you 24/7. You can't selfishly keep her by your side forever." Came Martin’s reply.Randy didn't listen and persisted, "No, I want mommy."Martin's temples bulged and his voice squeezed out through his teeth, "Randy!"Unfortunately, his words had no effect on Randy."If you don't let me video call mommy, I won't eat. If you can bear it, then let me starve!" came Randy’s warning.A storm cloud obscured Martin's eyes and the surrounding air turned cold.Helpless watching the bickering between
Patricia suddenly came to her senses remembering Martin's previous actions to her. She struggled desperately in fear. "Martin, what do you want to do? Let go of me!"But Martin was already like a mad beast, ruthlessly ravaging her lips, the fiery kiss traveled down to her neck, as if he wanted to release all the suppressed anger at once.Realizing his intentions, Patricia was truly scared. As tears began to stream down her face, they dropping onto Martin's face below.The tears falling against his flushed face gradually brought Martin back to his senses, looking at Patricia with tears in her eyes, her disheveled clothes. Guilt and self-reproach engulfed him.He couldn't believe that he, who had always been cold and ruthless, would be reduced to this state, he had lost all his inhibitions. He, who was usually composed, unexpectedly lost control and almost had a sexual encounter with her. What was worse is that he was on the verge of forcing such an encounter on her."I'm sorry!" Marti
Ryan took off his sunglasses and looked at the words "Amusement Park," feeling shocked."Are you sure we're at the right place? The three of us big men came to play at an amusement park. We're elite Wall Street professionals who count millions of dollars, do you think it's appropriate for us to play here?" Ryan asked.Carter pinched his nose completely speechless at this point and said, "Yeah, I think you should bring your child here to play, not us."Martin's thin lips curled up slightly as he said, "Well, I brought you here to find him!"Ryan asked, "Is your son here?"Martin nodded and took the lead to walk inside.Ryan looked down at his suit and followed behind him, muttering, "Martin, since we're coming here to play, why didn't you tell us earlier? We could have at least changed into casual clothes. Have you ever seen someone wearing a suit to an amusement park? Others will think we're pretentious."Martin walked on, as if he hadn't heard, while Carter shook his head helplessly
