Chapter 7
She had come to complain, thinking that Shanin was on her side, so she showed no restraint.
But she completely missed the flicker of disgust in Shanin’s eyes the moment she heard her voice.
Shanin’s expression darkened completely, her tone biting and sarcastic, “Theo doesn’t have a mom anymore? Isn’t this the new mom you found for him?”
Theo didn’t understand what the adults were saying. He blinked his big round eyes, drooling while babbling, “Ma ma ma ma…”
“Mom, what nonsense are you saying?” Caelan lowered his voice on purpose, afraid the child would be scared.]
Bella had been beaming with joy at Shanin’s comment, until Caelan’s reaction wiped the smile right off her face. She hurried to express her feelings, “Caelan, I’m more than willing to be Theo’s mother. I’ll treat him as my own son!” She thought this would make Caelan feel comforted.
However, upon hearing these words, Caelan’s face turned completely cold.
He could indulge her in anything, give her whatever she wanted, except the position of Mrs. Shaw.
He had made this clear to her before.
Back then, she had vowed with absolute certainty that she would never covet the title of Mrs. Shaw.
But now, with Jane barely gone, she couldn’t hold it in any longer.S
“Bella! Who gave you the audacity to say something like that?“%
Caelan’s gloomy eyes were filled with burning rage.
Bella was pierced by that gaze and her heart trembled violently. She softened her voice, trying to explain, “Caelan, you just said the child can’t be without a mother… But Jane left just like that. She clearly doesn’t want this child anymore….”
“Shut up!“>
This time, before Caelan could speak, it was Shanin who snapped, her voice full of fury.
Every time Jane came to the old house, she would hold the child lovingly, reluctant to let go.
If it weren’t for wanting to give the young couple space to bond and develop their relationship, she would’ve let Jane raise the child herself a long time ago.”
As for why Jane had stopped thinking about the child, wasn’t it because this blind, foolish son of hers had completely broken her heart? With that thought, Shanin’s eyes turned toward Caelan, filled with deep disappointment and frustration.
She sneered coldly. “I don’t want to get involved in your affairs and this is my home. You’re not welcome here. Get out!”
Çaelan still wanted to say something, but the house servants mercilessly sent them out, including Bella.
She looked pitiful and tried to act coy. “Caelan…“}
Caelan gave her a coid glance and said indifferently, “I’ll give you a sum of money. Don’t ever appear in front of me again.” “What?”
Bella stared at him in disbelief, but before she could react, Caelan had already driven away.“]
That night, Caelan couldn’t get a wink of sleep. As soon as dawn broke, he rushed to board the flight to Ekdora.
But he overlooked the most important thing. He had no idea why I came here in the first place, nor did he know where I was now. After arriving in Ekdora, Caelan kept calling me.}
Without exception, every time he called, he was met with the same message. “The number you dialed is not in service.“}]
Meanwhile, in Findovi, I used the money I had to rent a studio apartment.}
Once I settled in, I immediately went to register at the university.
Every time I could communicate with others without any barriers, I felt deeply grateful that during those three years of marriage, I never gave up on my dreams and kept studying.}
People only knew I had graduated from a vocational college, but they didn’t know I had once been an excellent student.§
If my mother hadn’t failen ill and I hadn’t missed three exams to take care of her, I wouldn’t have settled for attending a vocational college,
