Chapter 34

Author: Where is Spring
Mr. Graham hurried after Jonathan, glancing back at Maria. The way he looked at her was like he was meeting her for the first time.

Maria just shook out her hand, ignoring the strange stares from the house staff before heading back upstairs for a shower. By the time she finished and was ready for bed, half an hour had passed.

Her phone showed two missed calls and a few messages. The calls were from Richard and Catelyn.

Maria ignored them. She could guess easily enough that Jonathan had run to

  • A Regret too Late   Chapter 566

    Eleanor was trembling in anger. She let out a sharp scream and raised her hand at Maria, ready to slap back as hard as she could."Stop!" Richard appeared out of nowhere, and he caught Eleanor's wrist in a tight grip before her hand could come down.Almost at the same moment, Jonathan forgot everything else and ran forward when he saw that Maria was about to be hit. He shoved Eleanor with all his might. Though he wasn't that strong, it was enough to make Eleanor stagger and break the swing of her arm.Eleanor's head was spinning because both father and son came in at the perfect moment.Something was off!Very off!She stared warily at Richard, then at Jonathan standing in front of Maria like a tiny shield. Suspicion surged up in her chest again.Richard realized that he and Jonathan had reacted far too strongly. It was the kind of thing that made it difficult not to be questioned. He quickly let go of Eleanor's wrist.He frowned, clearly displeased, and turned a sharp look o

    Eleanor saw Maria and Jonathan, too. She narrowed her eyes, taking in the gentle scene between mother and son. Every alarm bell inside of her rang.It was too much of a coincidence.Jonathan had just left her place that morning, and he was having the time of his life at an amusement park with Maria by afternoon? That so-called "excuse" about having something to do had clearly just been something Eleanor made up. Now, why were these two here together?Frowning, Eleanor walked toward them.Jonathan froze for a heartbeat when he saw her, then snapped into motion. In the next second, he yanked his hand out of Maria's grip as if shocked. He stepped back two paces and raised his voice, sharp and piercing. "I told you to stay away from my dad! I only recognize Eleanor as my mom!"Maria had to admit Jonathan was a great actor. As Eleanor came closer, she quickly faked a hurt look.When Jonathan saw Maria's reaction, he played it up even more. He pointed his finger at her, looking f

    Knock, knock!A light tapping sounded at the door.Maria leaned against it and tried to steady her breathing. Her voice was suspicious. "Who is it?""It's me, Mom." Jonathan sounded cautious. "Dad has already left. It's just me."Maria walked to the door. After looking through the peephole and seeing that her son really was alone, she hesitated for a moment before opening it.The second the door opened, Jonathan squeezed inside and wrapped his arms tightly around her waist from behind. "Mom!"Maria froze, but she didn't push him away. She crouched down and looked at his face, full of guilt and worry. "Why did your dad bring you here?""That didn't happen, Mom." Jonathan shook his head, his hands clutching the hem of her clothes. "Dad dropped me at the corner and drove off. I ran inside by myself. I... I was a little worried about him..."Something tugged gently at Maria's heart. Her tone softened without her noticing. "What's wrong with him?""Dad's hand wound split open. He o

    Once Maria was home, she buried herself in a mountain of design drafts.She poured all her energy into work to keep her mind from going insane, using constant work to numb herself and deliberately shutting out Richard and everything that had happened at the hospital.The sky was clear on the day Richard was discharged. He had just finished getting dressed when the door was carefully pushed open.Jonathan peeked in. "Dad?"Seeing Jonathan, Richard was a little surprised. To think the boy had actually snuck into the hospital behind Eleanor's back. Jonathan ran to the side of the bed, his face tight with worry. He pointed at the bandage on Richard's hand and asked, "Dad, is your hand better yet? Does... Does Mom know you got hurt?"Trent, standing nearby, couldn't hold back anymore. He had come to pick Richard up from the hospital. He spoke up for Richard, furious."Your mom? She doesn't care about your dad. He got hurt because of her, and she hasn't even come to see him once th

    Willow personally pushed open the door of the ward, carrying a thermos with warm oatmeal that he had prepared himself.The room was a mess. Everything Maria had thrown to the floor earlier was still littered around the place. Maria sat on the edge of the bed with her knees drawn up to her chest, eyes unfocused as she stared past the window toward the far horizon. Even the morning light in her eyes failed to stir the faintest reaction."Mari..." Willow's heart clenched. He slowed, set the thermos on the nightstand, and ladled out a bowl of oats before stirring it. He blew the oatmeal, trying to cool them down.Her brother's voice finally pulled her back. Maria turned her head around. Tears welled without warning and rolled down her cheeks. When she tried to speak, her voice came out hoarse, and every word became raw sobs. "Why didn't you stop him?"Willow's hand froze midair. He quietly set the bowl back on the nightstand, his throat dry. He swallowed hard. "The doctor said th

    The moment Richard's deep eyes met Maria's, the haze lifted and panic flashed through her."Mari..." Richard began. "Aaaah!"In that instant, the last thread of Maria's sanity snapped."Why are you here?!" Maria's voice was sharp. She grabbed the pillow and hurled it at Richard's face as hard as she could. "Get out! Get out now!"Richard tumbled off the bed, stunned by the blow. He ignored the arm that had been hit and scrambled to explain, stuttering, "Mari! Listen to me! It's not what you think!""Not what I think?!" Maria trembled in rage. "Then what is it? Did I beg you to come? How shameless can you get?! You took advantage of me while I was unconscious! How are you any different from scum like Melvin?""I didn't!" Richard snatched his shirt up from the floor and yanked it on. He was flustered, not bold enough to look at the marks on her body. "You were in danger last night! Cameron is the one who called me!""Cameron?" Maria froze, staring at him in disbelief. "You're ly
