…“Handsome Xin! Daddy Eze! Why are the two of you fighting?“ Little Lion asked in confusion. “Big Yan, it is good that you came.“I looked between them angrily. “What the hell do both of you think you are doing?“ I asked. How could they fight in front of the child?Xin held Little Lion's hand and refused to say anything. But Eze moved closer to me. “I don't know what his problem is. He must have gone mad.“I sighed and shook my head at him. I was sure I would also be mad if someone had lied to me about my child.I looked at Xin tensely, not sure about what he was planning to do. I was scared. What if he told Little Lion the truth at that time?“Um, Little Lion, can you sit over there? The three of us want to talk,” I said. No matter what happened, I should be the one to tell the child the truth. He didn't have to hear it from someone else.Little Lion looked at me in confusion. “Mommy? Is everything okay?“ He asked. He seemed worried.I held his hand and pulled him away from Xin. “Ye
…Little Lion was confused when he realized that his mommy and handsome Xin could be arguing about something.And when Xin carried him up to his car without his mommy, he creased his brows. “Isn't Big Yan coming with us?“ He asked.Xin sighed. “Your mom and I agreed. She is busy, and she asked me to take you home with me. I will drop you off later,” he explained.Little Lion pursed his lips as he looked at his mom. Eze was hugging her. “Really? Weren't the two of you fighting?“ He asked. He had clearly seen them argue.Xin also pursed his lips. “Nope, we were only talking it out. Don't worry about us. We shall be fine, okay?“Little Lion did not say anything else. His eyes appeared a bit misty as Xin drove home. And Xin felt a little worried.“Do you have something in mind?“ He asked. He didn't want the child to feel bad about anything.Little Lion was quiet for a while again before he sighed. “Aren't you feeling bad that my mommy spends more time with Daddy Eze?“ He asked.Xin froze
I lifted my eyes, only to meet Xin's gaze. He was sitting in the living room doing something on his laptop. And when I saw him, my heart beat a little faster.“So it's true?“ Little Lion asked with a sigh. And I shook my head at him quickly.“Honey? Where are you getting that? Eze is my best friend. He will just be that, okay?“ I explained. Who the hell made him think that there was anything between Eze and me?I saw his face relax, and he gave me a kiss on the cheek. “Come on, handsome Xin, and I missed you,” he said, pulling me to the living room.I tensed up, but I didn't say a word. I stood in front of Xin like a fool. I did not know what I was supposed to say.Xin did not say anything either. He remained so quiet, like I wasn't even around. And I swallowed hard."Um, I came to pick him up,” I finally said. I had stood there for almost five minutes, and the man had not said anything.In fact, I felt like crying. Tears welled on my eyes, but I fought hard not to expose them.And it
My whole body went cold as I looked at him. “Xin?“ I called. I couldn't believe that he was trying to threaten me like that.But he only stared back at me. His eyes were so distant that I almost forgot I knew him in the past. “Yes, I mean that. I will take him away, and you will never see him again."“Noo!“ I said, shaking my head. “You won't do that. I won't allow you to do it.“Who did he think he was? He has failed as a husband and as a dad. What made him think that he could just come out of nowhere and give commands?“You can give it a try if you think it is a joke,” he said. “Isabel, I give you three days to make your decision. On Wednesday, my son will sleep in my house.“I pushed him away angrily. “Who do you think you are, Xin? I won't give up my son. I will fight for him!“ I almost shouted.But deep down, I was still so scared. What if he actually took my child away? I wasn't sure I would ever win against him in court.“You are free to do it, darling. File for his custody, an
The old man's face turned uglier. “What are you trying to say, Xin? Is it because of her again?“ He asked. He hated it so much when his grandson struggled to fight for that useless woman.Xin knew that things would get out of hand if he continued speaking like that. Even though he was still so mad, he sighed.“I mean that if I had known that she was pregnant with my child, I would ask her to give birth and leave the child behind,” he explained. And the old man's face was slightly relaxed.Under the table, Xin clenched his fists. He hated it when he was being controlled like a small child who didn't know what was right and wrong.“You know what to do, Xin. Little Lion is our blood. Moreso, I love the kid,” he said. Little Lion was the only fourth-generation child that they had for the time being.Xin slowly nodded his head. “I am handling it,” he said. Of course, he knew that it was all about filing for the custody of the child.…Abby kept looking at her phone, which was on the bed be
…I stood in front of the master bedroom with tears in my eyes. No matter how hard I knocked on the door, Little Lion refused to open it. I felt so helpless.A few minutes later, I heard footsteps as someone walked downstairs. And I only felt worse when Xin's grandfather stopped beside me with a smile on his face.“Oops! I didn't know you had such a complicated personality,” he said, his hands in his pockets.I looked at him in confusion. I had begun to understand why Xin never brought me to see his family, even after being married for one year. Xin's grandfather didn't like me even a little.“What do you mean?“ I asked, trying hard not to cry out aloud. I didn't know why my life always had to be that dark. It was exhausting.“What do I mean? You made sure to crawl into his bed when he wanted to divorce you. Five years later, you come back with his child. What do you want? Money?“ He asked, his expression suddenly changing.And I shuddered. He looked like he wanted to kill me that ins
…When Xin stepped out of the room, his heart was beating so fast. He lifted his hand and touched his chest. He then took a deep breath, and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips again.He turned to look at the closed door behind him before slowly walking downstairs.He knocked on Little Lion's door a few times, but the child did not open it. Left with no choice, he looked for the spare key and opened the door.And the sight that befell him made his heart ache. On the bed, Little Lion was seated. His face was covered in tears, and his shoulders were shaking.Xin slowly sat on the bed beside the child, but Little Lion turned to face the other side. He still did not believe that both his mom and Xin had lied to him.While everyone was laughing at him at school for being fatherless, he had the most powerful dad in the country. It hurt him.“I didn't know that you were my son until today, when I came to look for you at the park,” Xin quietly explained. He understood what the child wa
…Abby fell asleep while crying. However, a knock at the door woke her up. She creased her brows in irritation. Who would be disturbing her sleep at such a time?But when there was another knock, she sat up and looked at the clock. It was only ten o'clock in the evening. Huh! Her eyes widened. How did she fall asleep that early?She stretched a bit before going to open the door. And the person before her made her blink her eyes. “Chris?“ She called in confusion.Chris immediately pulled her into his arms. “I was about to break down your door if you didn't open it,” he said. He had missed her so much.Tears immediately welled in Abby's eyes. “I thought you would never come back,” she said. She was scared that maybe she would never see him again.Chris pinched her cheeks and pulled her into the house. “Never come back? Are you crazy? I will die if I don't come back to you,” he said, pressing his lips against her.How could he voluntarily choose to stay away from someone as sweet as Abby
