Amelie woke up to sunlight streaming through the ventilation slits in her room. The light was very disturbing. So, she blinked repeatedly and now realized that morning had arrived. Amelie looked to her right and frowned. Her son was no longer next to her. It was seven in the morning when she looked at the clock on the wall. "Axel?" she called out. There was silence and no answer. She decided to come out of the room to find out Axel's whereabouts. "Did grandma take him to school?" She even forgot that it was Sunday. She explored the entire room, but her eyes couldn't find Axel, no matter where she looked. Amelie approached the main door, about to look for Axel in the yard. "Oh, there he is," Amelie muttered as she found her son walking towards the house with Marie and Louise. The young woman yawned afterwards."You should set a good example for your son." Marie gave Amelie's ear a gentle pinch, deliberately so as not to cause her pain.Amelie winced, even though she was clearly no

At that time, Theresia
Be a wife After Five Years Apart 53. Elena's cunning idea
"So, when are you going to get grandchildren from your beautiful daughter-in-law?" Linda said in a clearly sarcastic tone. The word "prettiest" that the middle-aged woman used when talking about Elena was not a genuine compliment but just a ploy for Theresia, who always overpraised the people closest to her.Theresia snorted softly with her lips in a faint smile. Theresia looked at the women around her, including Elena, who was laughing to herself with the cell phone in her hand. Irritated, Theresia nudged Elena's arm until the flat object in the young woman's hand almost fell to the floor."Ah, what are you doing?" hissed Elena without looking at Theresia.All eyes turned towards the direction Elena's came from, which instantly made Theresia smile bitterly at all the faces there."I thought that having a beautiful face and a fertile body would promise a woman to get pregnant as soon as she had intercourse at the beginning of the marriage. It turns out my assumption was wrong." Linda

The Hayes family was shocked by Elena's sudden disappearance. She had mysteriously disappeared. Theresia walked back and forth with her arms across her chest. She seemed to be in deep thought, with a slight feeling of guilt arising from her attitude towards her son-in-law this afternoon."How is it, Jo?" Theresia asked the man in front of her, who was standing with his left hand on his waist while his right hand pressed his cell phone to his ear. His handsome face showed confusion. He repeatedly tried to call his wife, but not once did he hear a dial tone. Only the operator's voice said that the number the man was calling was inactive or out of range."It's still the same, ma'am; the number is not active," replied Jonathan in a slightly weary tone."Ah..." Theresia hissed before biting her fingernails. What if Elena found out about his attitude towards Rose? Of course, that would result in the fracturing of their friendship."Have you tried asking her parents?" asked Edmund, who seem

Elena slammed her back against the back of the car seat as soon as she entered the vehicle. Her arms were folded across her chest, while tears streamed down her crimson face.Gideon was surprised as he entered the car. He slowly closed the car door with his gaze focused on the sobbing woman next to the driver's seat."What happened to you, Elena?" The panic was evident on Gideon's face. The man's eyes narrowed as he found his sister's face already flooded with tears."Are you crying? Tell me what hurt you this much, Elena." Gideon could catch a flash of anger that was almost drowned out by the grief Elena was experiencing.Elena unzipped the bag she was wearing. Gideon frowned at what his little sister was doing. From her luxury-branded leather bag, Elena took a photo. What exactly was Elena doing?The woman wiped her wet eyes with her palms. Her nose was as red as blood. With a sob, Elena thrust out the photo of Amelie and looked away from Gideon.Gideon squinted and scrutinized the

All the teachers who had been watching walked over to Amelie as Matilda was dragged out of the meeting room. All eyes gazed pityingly at the crying Axel hugging Amelie, while the boy's mother kept petting him and telling him that he was fine."Are you okay, ma'am?" asked a woman wearing glasses with a panicked look.As some students watched the incident outside the glass-walled room, almost 97% of the students who were watching Amelie and Matilda's fight shouted the name 'Axel's mom' in support."Kids, please go back to class," Mia pleaded, to which the students shook their heads. Mia sighed at the stubbornness of her students. As she shooed them away with a hand gesture, they simultaneously said, "Leave us here, Miss. We want to prevent Axel from transferring out of school here."Miss, Axel won't transfer from this school, right?" A student with long braided hair held Mia's hand with a worried look."That's right, Miss. Please don't let Axel leave this school. We promise, we won't l
