Chapter 9

Penulis: Simply So
I leaned into his arms, felt his warmth, and my heart filled with happiness and peace.

I had thought everything ended that day and had made things clear with William.

Not long after, William came to find me again.

This time, he no longer stood tall and proud.

Instead, he stood in front of me with his head lowered.

“Emma, I know I was wrong before. I came this time to sincerely apologize,” he said.

“Apologize?” I let out a cold laugh. “Do you really think your apology means anything to me

  • My Ex Broke Down After My Son Turned Five   Chapter 9

    I leaned into his arms, felt his warmth, and my heart filled with happiness and peace. I had thought everything ended that day and had made things clear with William.Not long after, William came to find me again.This time, he no longer stood tall and proud.Instead, he stood in front of me with his head lowered.“Emma, I know I was wrong before. I came this time to sincerely apologize,” he said. “Apologize?” I let out a cold laugh. “Do you really think your apology means anything to me?” “I know I have no right to ask for your forgiveness, but I still need to say I’m sorry.” William lowered his head, and guilt shone in his face. “You’re apologizing to me, but what about Stacy?” I smiled, but my voice was full of mockery. “At a time like this, she’s probably at home throwing a fit and waiting for you to go comfort her.” “She went abroad.” “What?” I was surprised. I had thought they would have married long ago. “Actually…” He hesitated, then said, “I never treated y

    William was desperate. Tears welled up in his eyes. “Sorry. I don’t love you anymore,” I said calmly, and my tone was devoid of any emotion. “Your love isn’t something I want. Save it for Stacy.” “Emma…” William tried to say more, but Bruce cut him off. “Security, please escort these two gentlemen out. They’re disrupting the event,” said Bruce coldly.Several guards in black suits stepped forward at once and escorted William and Jake out of the venue.I took Bruce’s hand, left the noisy crowd behind, and we returned to our seats.That evening, after we got home, Bruce held me and gently stroked my hair. His eyes shone with tenderness and care.“What’s wrong?” I leaned into his arms, feeling his warmth. My mood felt unusually calm. “When you saw William at the business event today, did it make you think of the past?” Bruce asked softly. A trace of jealousy flickered into his voice. “A little, but it isn’t important anymore.” I smiled. “Don’t think about those unpleasan

    “You all don’t get it,” someone said. “William is known for his devotion. For Emma, he was even willing to give up the Wells family business. These past few years, he’s been through a lot just trying to find her.” Someone immediately argued back. “So? What does it matter if he was devoted? Emma married a mysterious big shot. No matter how capable William is, he still can’t compare.” A woman in a business suit spoke calmly, her tone practical and calculating. “Exactly. Just look at Emma now. You can tell she married the right person. She’s glowing with happiness.” Another woman echoed her words, looking me over from head to toe. “Speaking of which, who exactly is this mysterious big shot? He looks young. Could he be the heir to some hidden family?” A middle-aged man in a suit asked curiously, “Who knows? But judging by his presence, he’s definitely not ordinary. He’s probably here to look for business opportunities.” His companion added, “William really hit a wall this

    “Emma, I know I was wrong…” William muttered as tears slid from the corner of his eyes. “Whether this child is mine or not, I’ll treat him as my own. I’ll give everything I have to make it up to you and to him. Please, give me a chance.” I looked at him and felt no sympathy at all. Those words no longer meant anything to me. Everything he did was only to ease his own guilt and to make himself feel better. He never once thought about my feelings, and he never considered the child’s feelings. “Do you really think I can’t afford to raise my own child?” A low and steady voice suddenly cut through the chaos. Everyone turned to look.A tall figure approached at an unhurried pace.Bruce was dressed in a sharp suit and stood straight and composed.His presence carried an air of authority that made people hesitate to look him in the eye. He stopped beside me and wrapped an arm around my shoulder. He looked at Luke and me with warmth, as if we were the most important peopl

    He always believed that I had left because I was devastated after losing the baby. He only just realized that there might have been other reasons. Raising a child alone was filled with endless hardship and difficulty. He knew nothing about any of it. “How could you have a child?” William’s voice sounded hoarse. I looked at the pain and confusion on his face. I felt nothing. He no longer had the right to ask me that. Between him and me lay a chasm that could never be crossed. He had dug that chasm himself with betrayal and hurt. He destroyed everything with his own hands and pushed me into an abyss of no return. Whenever I looked at him, I remembered the dark days of my life and the pain that cut into my bones. “Do you really think you have the right to ask me that?” I let out a cold laugh and held Luke as I turned to leave. I did not want to stay here for even a moment longer. William stepped forward and tried to grab me. I shook his hand off and asked wha

    My son, Luke, appeared too suddenly and caught me off guard. I had not brought him with me today. When William heard him call me “mommy,” he looked at us in disbelief. I pulled Luke closer and shielded him behind me as I looked at William with caution. I wanted to attend the event quietly, and yet, I had become the focus of the entire room. Luke was shy around strangers. He clutched my hand tightly, and his face flushed. His eyes shone with a mix of curiosity and unease. He looked at William in open hostility. William had not treated me kindly earlier, so it was only natural for Luke to think his mother was being mistreated. I patted his back gently and comforted him in a low voice.I tried to appear calm, but inside, my emotions churned and refused to settle.William’s gaze felt like a sharp blade, piercing straight through me, as if he were trying to carve something out.I could hear the whispers around us, closing in like a tight net.The pressure wrapped aroun
