Chapter 4

Author: Nora Blythe
Due to the incident, Edgar sent me a text message.

[It’s my fault. Lana and I got into a fight, so I told her to abort the child out of anger.]

[I didn’t expect her to believe my words and lash out at you. I’m sorry.]

[After she gives birth to the baby, I’ll clear it up with the media. You have to bear with it in the meantime.]

Immediately after, he transferred a huge sum of money to me.

I gripped the phone so tightly that my knuckles turned white.

Thanks to their fight, my reputation was ruined, and I lost my job.

I could not erase that memory from my mind.

In the end, I gave up and lost my courage to fight for what I deserved.

After all, he no longer loved me. Lana would always be his priority.

Since that was the case, I would give them my blessings.

I booked my flight ticket and completed all procedures to migrate.

The only things left were that prenup and the broken pieces of my bracelet at home.

When I reached home, a party was in full swing.

There were many children around Charlie’s age.

I looked at the decorations hanging on the wall and suddenly remembered that it was Charlie’s birthday.

In the past, I would have never forgotten it. I would even spend two weeks preparing his birthday present.

I bet he had thrown all those presents into the trash can.

Keeping my head down, I tried to keep a low profile.

I wanted to leave after I retrieved my things.

However, when Charlie saw me, his eyes lit up.

“Mommy!”

To think about it, ever since that incident, I had not seen Charlie for a really long time.

I did not spare a glance at him.

A child suddenly pointed at me sharply.

“Isn’t she the person on TV? My mommy says she’s a homewrecker. Why is she here?”

“Charlie, why is she showing up at your house?”

Charlie’s face fell. He was embarrassed.

Seeing that Charlie had stayed silent, the children laughed.

“Is she your mommy? Are you a homewrecker’s son?”

“I’m not!” Charlie refuted stubbornly as his face flushed red.

Edgar frowned and quickly stopped me. He whispered, “What are you doing here? Don’t you know that today is Charlie’s birthday? The news has gone viral. Even if you’re not ashamed, we’re embarrassed by you!”

I calmly pushed him aside and did not say a single word to him.

After I took the things I wanted, I walked out of the room.

A cake flew toward me and smashed against my face.

The knife on the plate sliced my palm open.

My face paled from the pain.

I looked up and saw Charlie’s flushed cheeks as he panted. “Why did you ruin my family, you homewrecker?!

“Today is my birthday, so get out!”

The children who were laughing at Charlie were shocked for a moment. Then, they started applauding and cheering him on.

I clenched my bleeding fist as I trembled violently.

I knew Charlie hated me, but I had never thought he would ever do this.

Edgar quickly stepped forward, wanting to check the wound on my hand.

I pushed him away.

“You’re right,” I said with a hoarse voice. “I’m not your wife, and he’s not my son. This isn’t my home either.”

The five-year deadline was approaching. I did not want custody of Charlie or the marriage anymore.

    Edgar’s clarification became viral online. Those netizens who scolded me for allegedly being a homewrecker also changed their stances. [I didn’t expect that the other woman was the homewrecker instead.][He’s not even willing to clear his wife’s name after having an affair. A divorce is exactly what he deserves.]The netizens who scolded me before all apologized to me. [You’re the one who didn’t do anything wrong.]After seeing those comments, I let out a sigh of relief. I managed to fix the bracelet that Charlie had broken.When Edgar came to see me, I was standing before my mother’s grave. He held Charlie’s hand as they walked toward me. “Violet, it’s over between Lana and me. Let’s go home.” Charlie stepped forward to hold my hand. “Mommy, let’s go home.” Over the past years, Charlie would sometimes call me by my name instead of “Mommy,” as if I were a stranger. It was the first time he was on such good behavior. I stared at them calmly as I sneered, “I saw w

  • His Lover's Child, My Expired Contract   Chapter 7

    When he reached the hospital, Edgar disregarded the fact that Lana was still pregnant as he quickly got out of the car and sprinted toward my office. He opened the door, yet he saw a stranger. “Do you have an appointment?”I always had a photo of the three of us on my desk. However, this desk did not have that photo displayed. Edgar’s lips were quivering slightly. “I’m here to look for Violet.”Even though I was suspended due to what happened at the talk last time, I was not completely fired. Edgar thought that it was just a normal suspension. Besides, he had already called the hospital to have them let me resume my work after a one-week suspension. The other doctor said indifferently, “Dr. Reid has resigned.” Edgar was shocked when he heard that. “Why would she resign?”“After the hospital lifted her suspension, she resigned.” Edgar’s legs almost gave out. He had heard over the phone earlier what Sam told him about me preparing for a divorce. Then, he found out

    With Lana’s presence, Charlie’s birthday party was a success. Edgar and Charlie forgot what had happened earlier.It was not until the birthday party was over that Edgar remembered me. He pulled out his phone, expecting a text message from me. However, the conversation had stopped at the text message he sent. Not only did I not send him any text messages, but I also did not call him at all. I also returned him the money that he transferred to me. Edgar clenched his phone, unsure whether he was upset or angry. He suddenly felt as if he had lost control of me, so much so that I did not even take his money. Was I still angry?Just when Edgar was deep in thought, Lana held his arm. “Edgar, let’s head to bed early. I’m still pregnant after all.”Edgar came back to his senses and nodded slightly. “Tomorrow, let’s go to the hospital for another check-up.”“Isn’t our check-up scheduled for the following week? Why are we bringing it forward?” Lana was confused. Edgar pur

    Edgar watched my departure with a complicated expression. After Charlie threw a tantrum, he could not help but chase after me a little when he saw me leaving.However, he stopped at the door. He clenched his teeth and whispered to Edgar, “Daddy, is Mommy going to come back?”Edgar forced a smile and patted Charlie’s head.“Don’t worry, your mother has a hot temper. She’ll come back in no time. By then, you should just apologize to her, and she’ll be fine.” Edgar suddenly felt insecure after he said that. As he stared at the blood on the floor, he felt his heart sinking. As for Charlie, he was no longer upset after hearing what his father said. He started laughing again. Edgar took out his phone and sent me a text message. [It’s Charlie’s birthday today. His classmates are around. Be good and don’t embarrass him.][After his classmates leave, you may come back.]After he sent me these two text messages, he transferred another sum of money to me. All these years, he

  • His Lover's Child, My Expired Contract   Chapter 3

    I sat in the living room for the entire night. At dawn, I found a slightly yellowed prenup in one of the drawers. Edgar had signed the agreement. I rubbed the edge of the page. The end date of the agreement was next month. After that fight, Edgar and Charlie did not come home for some time. I also had a lot of surgeries to tend to. I did not want to return to that cold and empty house. Hence, I rented a house outside, and I did not return home either. I contacted a divorce lawyer to draft our divorce agreement. In fact, after my mother passed away, I should have already drafted the divorce agreement. However, I wanted a home. I was also infatuated with Edgar. It turned out that giving up was not as difficult as I thought it would be. Initially, I thought things would proceed smoothly. That was until an academic lecture a month later. The huge hall was extremely quiet. Someone kicked the door open. Lana had tears in her eyes. She ignored the security guards
