From His Lover to His Stepmother Chapter 10 A Bright Future
"So tell me, Bryce. What use is there in keeping you around?" I tittered, twisting the knife further.Bryce's face turned stark white as he swallowed. The combative line in his shoulders had slumped in defeat."I'm sorry, Jessica. I was wrong. I shouldn't have lied to you. I shouldn't have treated you that way. Can you forgive me? I swear I'll only love you from now on. I'll divorce Selina and marry you! I'm begging you. Please don't take everything away from me..."The nanny had already called for the bodyguards, and they didn't hesitate to drag him out of my sight. Bryce panicked and roared, "Jessica, I love you! I had no choice but to marry Selina! Please believe me one more time! I'm begging you!"The study door swung open. Derrick strode over and positioned himself in front of me."Are you alright?""I'm fine, but he seems a little unstable. Should we send him to the hospital?"Derrick nodded and ordered, "Take Bryce to the hospital.""No! Don't!" Bryce struggled violent

"Sure. I'll make the arrangements. We'll visit the Hawthorn family tomorrow." Derrick interrupted me before I could continue rambling on and on. Then, he immediately called his secretary and instructed her to clear his schedule for the next day.When he saw me slack-jawed, he reached over and placed his hand on top of mine as he said reassuringly, "This is the right thing to do. You don't have to tiptoe over things like these."The tension I'd been carrying instantly melted away as I instinctively intertwined my fingers with his.All traces of the disastrous banquet had been removed by the time we returned to the estate. The mansion had returned to its usual solemn atmosphere.Bryce was standing outside the study. He didn't even dare to meet my eyes."Dad, you're back."Derrick didn't look at him as he said blandly, "And?"Bryce clenched his jaw. He squeezed his eyes shut for a moment before forcing out the words. "Mom, welcome back."My mood improved immediately. I didn't hesi
From His Lover to His Stepmother Chapter 8 A Deal
"Rumor has it that Bryce isn't actually your biological son. He's the child of your late brother. He was raised by the others and only formally adopted by you after you took over the Newton family. You only remained unmarried because you already had a son under your name. "However, Bryce has no mind for business, and the Newton family has been losing a considerable amount of money every year. If that's the case, why not have another heir?"The office fell silent for several seconds.Derrick finally looked at me. He eyed me from head to toe before dismissing the secretary while ending the video conference.Then, he leaned back in his chair and said, "You said you could give me a child who is one hundred percent a Newton by blood, but the Newton family has very few descendants. My brother and I were the only ones in my generation, and he died young. "Now, Bryce is the only heir to the Newton fortune. Are you implying that your child is Bryce's?"I nodded. "Yes. He's Bryce's biolo

"Selina is the second daughter of the Paxen family. We're a perfect match, and a marriage alliance would be beneficial to—"Derrick didn't give him a chance to finish as he tugged lightly on my hand, indicating that the car had already arrived at the entrance."Enough. We'll discuss your affairs later."As we drove toward the hospital, I looked out the window and saw Bryce standing on the second-floor balcony, slamming his hand against the railing in fury and shouting something I couldn't make out. When Selina tried to place a hand on his shoulder to comfort him, he didn't hesitate to violently shove her away."Let me see your neck." Derrick handed the baby to the nanny in the front passenger seat and turned my head toward him."I shouldn't have let you wear this dress. The collar is too tight. Still, Bryce shouldn't have manhandled you. I can't imagine what would've happened if I hadn't arrived in time."I couldn't help but feel awkward under his intense scrutiny. So, I instin

I couldn't see the injury myself, but I hissed in pain when I reached up and touched my neck.Derrick lowered his head and examined it carefully. His expression darkened instantly. When he looked back at Bryce, his eyes were filled with fury."Bryce, is this how you treat your elders?" he growled.Bryce opened his mouth. "E-Elder? She...""That's enough. I don't have time to listen to your explanations." Derrick cut him off sharply. Then, he looked at the guests gathered below and announced, "Everyone, I need to take my wife and my younger son to the hospital immediately. We'll be cutting this banquet short. I apologize for taking up your time. We will hold another banquet some other day." With that, he instructed the bodyguards to bring the car around.He held the baby in one arm, took my hand with the other, and motioned for a nanny to follow us.The entire room fell silent for several seconds. Then, an explosion of shocked voices erupted throughout the hall."Did Mr. Derr

The suffocating grip on my collar suddenly disappeared.However, Selina hadn't realized what was happening. She was still desperately trying to rip the baby from my arms.As several nannies and bodyguards rushed over and pulled her away, I could finally breathe once more. Then, I held my son tightly against my chest as I soothed him with gentle murmurs.Meanwhile, Selina was still shouting indignantly, "Why are you guys stopping me? She's stealing my child! You should be helping me take him back!" Then, she turned toward Bryce. "Bryce, what are you standing there for?"The baby's cries echoed through the hall. Combined with Selina's furious yelling, the commotion drew everyone's attention as guests looked up toward the second floor.As I comforted my child, I turned around and saw that Bryce was staring at the newcomer with naked fear.It was obvious he hadn't even processed what Derrick had said. All he knew was that he was terrified of the latter.Selina grew even more anxious
