All Chapters of The Love Has Expired: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

Cade had been plotting this for a long time. This entire time, the boy I had raised was his and Cecil’s son. How could I have been so foolish?“You have always been so arrogant just because you come from a rich family. I have always found you to be incredibly boring and have put up with you for so many years. You were the one who stole me away from Cecil, but now she’s going to take back what is rightfully hers.“I wasn’t going to do this to you and was going to wait until after your father died. Well, you can only blame yourself for digging your own grave.”The pain in my abdomen grew sharper at this point. I turned to Liam, who had handed me the tea, and groaned his name, “Liam.”Liam put his hand on Cecil and glared at me. “Don't you dare talk to me. She is my mother! You are the reason I could not be with my real mother for twenty years! It’s time for you to rest forever.”The agony in my stomach cut through me like a knife. Soon, blood spurted out of my mouth and nose. I shot

Cade’s mother smashed the teacup and cried out, “Take her to the hospital. We mustn’t let the child see the light of day!’Cade got on his knees and pleaded, “Mom, please let us keep the baby. It’s my firstborn and your grandchild too!”Frightened, Cecil followed suit. “This is my child with Cade and your grandchild. You can’t do this!”I knew it was time for me to step in. Since this was Cade's firstborn, I knew he would resent me if I was against Cecil keeping the baby. I stated my case, “Mom, don’t upset yourself. This is Cade’s firstborn. Let her keep the baby. Otherwise, Cade is going to hold it against me.”She gave me a look and held my hand tenderly. “Mia, I’m sorry that you have to deal with this. It was my fault for having raised Cade this way.”I strained a smile. “It’s fine. It doesn’t matter who gives birth to the child as long as the child acknowledges that I am the mother. If you are worried, then I can take care of the baby once the baby is born.”Even Cade seemed

Sophie sat by the piano and offered, “Sis, let me play you something.”I nodded cheerfully. “Sure.”The song she played on the piano was mesmerizing. Cade was slightly drunk and was just about to get into the groove when someone barged in and reported, “Sir, there’s been a situation! We just received a call. It looks like Miss Cecil is about to give birth!”The house was thrown into panic in an instant. Cade immediately marched outside while I called out from behind, “Somebody, call the ambulance!”For some reason, the call would not connect at all. I gave another order, “Tell the family doctor to go to Cecil right now!”Cecil had eaten so much during her pregnancy that the baby grew larger than usual. It made her delivery very difficult, and she cried out in anguish all night.Cade turned pale with fear while I comforted him, “Don't panic. The doctor is the best gynecologist in the city. It’s going to be fine.”He turned to me and sounded relieved as he said, “I’m glad I have y

Cade’s mother stated, “Don’t listen to that cunning fox.”She had Cecil summoned, and she rebuked Cecil icily, “Liam is Cade’s firstborn. Since you are the one who gave birth to Liam, you should take the boy with you and visit Cade’s grandmother. You could stay there for a year to keep the old lady company.”Cecil was appalled by the decision. She knelt on the ground and pleaded, “I made a mistake. Please forgive me! It will never happen again!”Cade’s mother refused to listen to her pleas. She ordered someone to take Cecil away and send her off to the mountain where Cade’s grandmother lived. By the time Cade returned home, it was all set in stone and there was nothing he could do about it because he could not disobey his mother.Shortly after that, Cade’s mother made up an excuse to bring Liam back home but insisted that Cecil stay on the mountain instead.At this point, I spoke to Cade and suggested that Sophie should raise Liam instead. “Your mother is getting old and does not
