“What?“ Abby asked, trembling. Did Chris have a fiancee?“Yes, you heard me right. Chris is engaged, and he is just trying to have fun with you. Why don't you come to your senses?“ The person asked was obviously a man.The Innocent Abby felt like her heart was about to stop. “Um, do you want to talk to..." she began speaking, looking at Chris in confusion.But the person on the other side immediately shook her head. “Noo! I called to talk to you as your fellow girl. Abby, I know he fooled you. It is only you who will decide what to do.““But…” Abby said. She felt like she was losing her mind. What the hell was the girl talking about?“So he is actually there? His dad really needs him. There is an emergency over here, Abby. Why don't you release him for a while?“ Trisha asked.And with a bowed head, Abby nodded. “Okay, I will see what to do,” she said. The next second, the call on the other end was disconnected.But Abby remained rooted to the ground, the phone in her ears. She was sta
I tensed up a little. We were only meeting after he had once again tried to assault me. I didn't even know what he was planning to do with my son.Skye wore a sweet smile and walked towards Xin. “I was only trying to show her the best way to work. She can't neglect her duties,” she said.Xin looked at me briefly, and I shivered involuntarily. I looked at the floor, my hands slightly shaking.“Okay,” I heard him say before walking to the coffee maker. And I was taken aback. He had never spoken a few words like today in my presence.Skye looked at me with a smile. She was feeling over the moon. “Remember what I said,” she said, taking the glass that I was holding.I creased my brows. Why would she take the glass away? There were still others. I didn't know whether I was just overthinking, but the truth was that I suspected something from the time she forced me to take coffee to Xin.I only came back to my senses when I realized that Xin was walking out of the room. “Xin!“ I called uncon
…Chris was driving when suddenly, everything went wrong. He lost control of the car. The brakes couldn't even work.He was suddenly scared as he tried to control the car. He was just a short distance from home. His car had been fine before.He hurriedly reached for his phone. At least, if things went wrong, he should have informed someone.But at the same time, his phone rang. Ge hurriedly picked it up, his body trembling. The car was moving at a very high speed.“Mom,” he called in fear. He was scared. What would happen to his mom if he were to die?“Son, is something wrong?“ Her mother asked tensely. She knew her son. Something was wrong with him.Chris trembled more. “Mom, the car won't stop. Something is wrong,” he explained. This was one of the times that he couldn't pretend to be fine.“Chris, what is wrong with it?“ His mom also began trembling. “Hold on, son. I will get your dad.“But Chris was sweating. “Mom! It is of no use."Bang!His mom shrieked when there came a loud ba
…On Wednesday morning, my heart felt heavy as we waited for the school bus. What if it was the last time I saw my son?I bent down to his level and looked into his eyes. “Baby, mommy wants to tell you something,” I said.Little Lion nodded his head. “Go ahead, Big Yan. I'm listening,” he said. After the event at school, I talked to him, and he wasn't mad at me anymore.“Um, I want you to know that mommy loves you a lot,” I said, struggling to sound normal. I didn't want to sound like I was selling him out.Little Lion pursed his lips, looking at me. “Did something happen?“ He asked. Of course, he was never naive.I smiled and kissed his cheeks. "There's nothing that I can't handle. Just know that everything is fine,” I said, pulling him into my hands. I would be so happy if I saw him in the evening.“Mommy…” Little Lion called in a caring voice. But I smiled at him. “The bus is here. I'll pick you up in the evening. Don't use the bus, okay?“Even though he looked confused, he nodded
…A few minutes before.Little Lion was waiting for his mom to pick him up like she had promised when he saw a very familiar car. “Handsome Xin!“ he called and ran towards him.Xin lifted him up and kissed his cheek. “How have you been, son?“ He asked. It had been so long since they were close.Little Lion smiled. “I'm fine. I didn't know you were also coming,” he said. He was always wishing that both of his parents came to pick him up from school.Xin creased his brows. “Also coming? Who else is coming?“ He asked in confusion.And Little Lion pursed his lips. “Aren't you with mommy? She said she was coming too,” he said. Did Xin come alone?Xin sighed and put him in the car. “Let us wait for her then,” he said. He really wasn't ready to tell the child that he would not be able to see his mom for a while.“You are not busy?“ Little Lion asked in confusion. His mom had told him several times that Xin was always a busy man.But Xin raised his brows. “Why would I be busy for my son? I ha
…“You raised the kid all by yourself?“ Lawyer Tom asked, noting something down.And I hurriedly nodded my head. “Yes, the two of us had divorced. He had a fiancee, and I could never tell him about his child,” I explained. I was still crying.Lawyer Tom nodded his head in understanding. “There are high chances of us winning this case. First, the child is a minor and has all the right to live with his mother. Secondly, your husband divorced and cut all ties with you. That means that he doesn't have the right or say over the child.“I sighed in relief. “Thank you, sir,” I said. At least, there was hope. I looked at Eze, who was holding my hand. It was all because of him. “Thank you,” I whispered to him.Eze nodded with a smile. “Don't rejoice too early. Let us wait until we win. You know Xin won't just stay calm to let you win, right?“I was about to nod my head when I saw a strange look on the lawyer's face. His eyes opened wide, and his lips slightly trembled.“Sir, are you okay?“ I q
I looked at him angrily and only resisted the urge to spit on him. “Go to hell with your conditions. I will never marry a man as heartless as you!“He remained so calm as he listened to me. And he nodded his head when I was done. “Good, I understand.“I creased my brows. “What? Is that all you have to say? Xin, please, let me see my son. He needs me,” I said. I hadn't thought that I would hand to beg him.But he shook his head. “I can't. Don't worry, our son is in safe hands. Goodbye,” he said. He was about to close the gate, and I tensed a little.But just at the same time, a hand appeared out of nowhere and stopped the gate from closing. Before I had time to react, I heard a loud smack.And my eyes opened wide when I saw Eze retrieve his hand. He had punched Xin in the face.In fact, he was about to do it again,but I quickly stopped him. “Eze!“ I called. “You can't be doing this.“Eze took deep breaths to calm himself down. “I want to teach him a lesson. He should know that he is no
…I cried all the way home. I had to admit that Xin had become an animal. He didn't care about anyone else except himself.“Don't cry, Bella. I will make sure that everything is fine, okay?“ Eze tried to comfort me, but I didn't know whether to believe him or not.The whole night, I didn't sleep. For the first time, I missed Little Lion's little tactics and stubbornness in the house. It was so sad that he wasn't there.It was very late in the morning when I finally fell asleep. And when I woke up again, the house was filled with sun rays.Tensed up, I rushed to Little Lion's room. “Wake up, Little Lion. You are late for school,” I said. I was already planning on how to prepare him faster.However, I froze when I pushed open his door. It was then that everything came rushing into my mind. Yes, he was not with me anymore.I looked at his neatly spread bed, and tears fell from my eyes. That devil had taken away my son and my life. I sat on his bed and cried. That was the only thing I cou
