Chapter 3
1 forced myself to bear the heartache and opened the chat history.
In the dialogue box, there were thousands of photos, densely packed.
All of them were photos of Edward with the children.
In a moment of reverie, I remembered when Anthony was just born, and I suggested talding a family photo.
He, however, casually brushed me off.
“Anthony is still so young, why take a family photo now? Let’s walt until he grows up!”
I naively thought that he didn’t like taking photos, so I dared to take advantage of his deep sleep and secretly took a group photo with the child by his side.
Now, I know that he didn’t dislike taking photos.
Just didn’t like my child, that’s all.
The fingertips trembled as they glided over those)
e photos.
But accidentally stumbled upon a video sent by Anthony the night before his birthday party.
was being bullied by Selena’s child, who was pinning him down
My son wa
In the video, Selena cried mut
d out in extreme distress.
“Edward, Melanie’s son would already fight back at such a young age. Who knows how he would treat our children when he grows up!”
“What should I do? I’m so worried!
was trembling all over, and I could hardly hold onto my phone.
My son, who had done nothing wrong, had his life ruined because of a single sentence from Selena
I bit my lip hard, restraining the surging hatred,
Sucha
a man was so dirty and disgusting. I didn’t want him anymore.
My heart turned completely cold, I threw away my phone and called my mentor who is far away in another country.
Please ask him to help me contact hospitals that can provide rehabilitation training
When Edward returned to the ward, I had just booked plane tickets for myself and Anthony three days
He didn’t notice my swollen red eyes from crying, be just excitedly grabbed me,
“Melanie, tesnorrow I wanted to organize birthday banquet for Anthony again.
“By then, I will announce the adoption of our child, okay?”
I was stunned for a moment, then I immediately remembered the note I had just seen i
Tomorrow is the birthday of their child, him and Selena
I didn’t say anything, I just nodded with a calm face.
In his phone calendar,
Since we are about to leave on, let’s take it
*proper fanwell.
The next day, approaching noon, Edward finally sent someone to pick
me up from the hospital.
as I stepped into the hotel, a scene in front of me stabbed my eyes.
Selena Parrish was w
wearing a couture guen, and she was holding hands with Edward as they welcomed guests with their child,
And my Anthony, was casually thrown on the ground, coveted in mud
He couldn’t be bothered to look at Anthony even once.
Nature also didn’t notice that Anthony was picking uphalt a cookie that someone had thrown away and putting it into his mouth
I instantly turned rod–eyed and rushed over to pick up the child
Before I could even question, Edward grabbed my arm and pulled me into the lounge
“Melanie, many important figures have arrived today. Given Anthony’s current condition, I’m afraid he might get scared. It would be better for you all to
rest here first
Even though he tried to hide it, I still saw the contempt revealed in his cyre.
I glanced outside the door and on the electronic screen in the lobby, they were playing a series of photos of him and Selena’s child.
In the middle of the stage, there were many valuable gifts piled up.
Nothing was for Anthery.
Even the name on the giant cake was not Anthony’s.
Edward followed my gare and only then realized how out of line he had been.
He held me and awkwardly explained.
“Melanie, don’t misunderstand. Selena couldn’t hear to part with the child I did all this to reassure her and make her feel comfortable handing the child
over to us.”
I pulled the corners of my mouth, but I couldn’t manage to smile.
He wanted to say something more, but Selena’s son burst in and hugged his le
leg.
|“Dad, didn’t you say you prepared a lot of gifts for me? Take me to see them quickly.”
Edward never looked at me and Anthony again, he just picked him up with a doting expression on his face and left straight away.
I collapsed weakly on the sofa, balding onto my Anthony with a heart filled with despair.
Edward did not come back again until the banquet started,
Realizing that he would never think of us again, I held Anthony and wanted to leave
Just as I was about to get up, Selena appeared in front of us, holding the child,
She smiled gently, but there was a hint of provocation in her eyes.
“Melanie, didn’t it feel had to be abandoned by someone?”
“You look at
yourself, you foolish son, how can y
you com
compare to my Dexter!”
the end, it was
“It’s pitiful to say, that day when he was forced to drink whate wine, be cried miserably, his assistant’s hands were trembling, and in the Edward what personally moved his hand, ti
“Even if you were Mrs. Marthures, so what? Your son still became an idiot because of a single word from me!”
She laughed heartily, without hiding ber malice.
I was so angry that I couldn’t stop tremblin
I my lips were bitten until tary
bled, but I barely managed to restrain my hatred.
But the next second, she suddenly grabbed her child and slapped him hard twice.
The child’s face instantly leame swollen and unbearable, and the whole room echoed with his heart–wrenching, cries
Before I could react, Edward ruled in
He held the child tightly, his face full of pain, and glared at me with his eyes bloodshot.
“Melanie, what were you thinking, to lay hands on such a young child!”
