Borrowed Love Has an Expiration Date Chapter 10
When Kevin walked in, holding Dad's hand, Celeste instinctively stood up. Kevin came to a halt when he saw her. This time, he didn't tremble or hide. He merely looked at her quietly. Celeste crouched down, her eyes misting over. "I'll leave as soon as I sign this, Kevin."He looked down at the agreement on the table. "Does that mean you're not my mommy anymore?" "I still am." She parted her lips. "If you want me to be, I'll always be your mommy." Kevin thought for a while. "Will you still be borrowed by someone else?" Tears streamed down her face. "No, I won't." However, he shook his head. "But I don't want to wait for you anymore." "I can wait.""For how long?""For as long as it takes."Kevin didn't answer. He simply pushed the damaged drawing toward Celeste. "You can have this." Celeste's hands trembled violently. "Do you not want it anymore?""My teacher asked me to draw a new one," he said softly. "My new drawing has Daddy, Grandpa, Grandma, and me." There w

Celeste watched the video three times. "If I call her Mommy, will she live with us?" Iris asked in the footage.Jonah smiled as he helped her put on their matching outfits. "As long as everyone thinks we're one big family, she won't have the heart to abandon you." When the video ended, her fingers unconsciously tightened around her phone. "Who sent this?" "Jonah's ex-wife," Mr. Preston answered. "While applying to modify the custody arrangement, she came across the event footage uploaded by the kindergarten." Celeste immediately dialed Jonah's number. "Why did you list me as Iris' stepmother on the registration form?"He was silent for a couple of seconds before he let out a derisive chuckle. "I just didn't want the school to look down on a child from a single-parent family." "What about that video?" "Iris wanted a mother. I was just comforting her." "So, you deliberately had her call me Mommy on the live broadcast?" Jonah's facade crumbled. It was as if he was done p

The following day, Celeste sent me three messages.Celeste: "Jonah had a bout of low blood sugar, but he's fine now. Iris was all alone at the hospital last night, and I couldn't leave a child alone there. Kai, this was an exceptional circumstance."I forwarded all three messages to Mr. Preston. "Include these in the evidence."After reading them, Mr. Preston shook his head. "She really does find a way to prove you're right to divorce her every single time." On the day of the mediation, Celeste arrived half an hour late. Her clothes were slightly wrinkled, and dark circles shadowed her eyes. The first thing she said after sitting down was, "I don't agree to the divorce." I placed the records I'd compiled on the table. 37 phone calls. 21 times she'd left at the last minute. Seven times she'd missed Kevin's important events. Right at the top was the proof of her deleting the kindergarten's surveillance footage. Looking at the thick stack of papers, Celeste's expression har

On the third day after we moved, Celeste showed up with a box of things. The moment the door opened, she pushed the box toward me. "I brought all of Kevin's picture books, clothes, and the nightlights from his bedside."I looked through the box without inviting her inside. "Thank you." My polite response made her stiffen. "Do we really have to talk to each other like this?" "How else should we talk, Ms. Rochester?" Celeste gazed at me for a long while. "I've already told Jonah not to contact me again." "That's your business." "You used to mind it so much." "That was then. This is now." Kevin's voice drifted out from inside as he talked to Dad. Celeste instinctively peered inside. "How's he doing today?" "His follow-up results are good." "Can I see him?" "I asked him. He doesn't want to see you." Her fingers brushed against the edge of the box, and she rasped out, "I bought him a new performance outfit. His teacher said there's another performance next month. I'

Celeste's grip slowly loosened. She stood outside the door, watching Kevin bury his face in my arms. "I won't come in."His voice trembled. "Close the door, Daddy."I closed the hospital room door in her face. I noticed that she still hadn't left through the glass.…That afternoon, my mother-in-law, Maya Smith, arrived at the hospital. However, her very first words were, "Jonah called me. He told me you're pressing charges against Iris."I tucked Kevin in. "She locked Kevin in the prop room. She should apologize and be taught a lesson." Maya lowered her voice. "What does a five-year-old child know? Besides, Kevin's fine, isn't he?" I looked at her. "Who told you he was fine?" "Celeste told me. She told me he was just a little frightened. He'd be fine after getting some oxygen." Just then, the doctor walked in and corrected her coldly. "The patient suffered an acute asthma attack. If he'd been deprived of oxygen for any longer, the consequences could've been unimaginable.

The third strike brought the lock down with a loud crack. I rushed inside and pulled back the fallen curtains. Kevin was curled up in the corner. His little face was as pale as a sheet."Look at me, Kevin!"He couldn't open his eyes, and he only managed to grip one of my fingers. When the ambulance arrived, the paramedics immediately strapped an oxygen mask onto him. Celeste tried to get into the vehicle, but I raised my hand to stop her. "Don't touch him!" "Now's not the time to act out of spite, Kai.""When you deleted the surveillance footage, did you ever consider that he might die inside?" All the color drained from her lips. Jonah ran over with Iris in his arms. "Don't leave just yet, Celeste. The principal said she's calling the cops. Iris is just a child. We can't let this go on her record!"Celeste took a look at the ambulance before shifting her gaze toward him. That single glance was all it took. I slammed the ambulance door shut.
