My Son Chooses Another Woman Over Me

Reina saw me with my suitcase and frowned. “Did Shaun send you back?” I did not deny it. Stella felt awkward and let go of my suitcase. “Quiana, did you and Shaun have some kind of misunderstanding? “I saw him this afternoon, and he seemed fine. “He was in a good mood, and Jaxon—” She realized she messed up, so she quickly covered her mouth and looked at me anxiously. “Quiana, I didn’t mean to hide that I met Shaun. “It’s just that Jaxon missed me. He wanted to see me, and I couldn’t say no.” I forced out a smile. “It’s no big deal.” Reina heard that and seemed to understand what had happened. So, she said, “Stella, go upstairs. I need to talk to your sister alone.” Stella nodded softly, and Mrs. Wilson took her away. Only Reina and I were in the big living room. She gestured for me to sit down. I got restless as I sat down on the couch. She calmly made a cup of tea and sipped it slowly. I could not sit still anymore, so she finally said, “Can’t you

“How can you call yourself a mother? Jaxon was in the hospital for mango allergy, and you didn’t even check on him! “Why didn’t you tell Stella that Jaxon is allergic to mangoes? How would she know about such things? “Do you know that Stella was so worried that she cried yesterday? What kind of sister are you?” He blamed me nonstop. Maybe because I had been bottling up my feelings for too long, I could not hold back my anger anymore. “Doesn’t Jaxon know he’s allergic to mangoes? He insisted on eating it. What was I supposed to do? “Jaxon is your son too. Shouldn’t you have told Stella about his allergy? “Also, we’re getting divorced. You told me I didn’t need to visit him anymore. “Shaun, did you forget about that?” Shaun’s face darkened. “You’re impossible.” “Well, congratulations! Now you can finally get rid of this impossible wife.” … The process was quick. After finishing the paperwork, he walked out of the courthouse and drove away without a second though

I managed a bitter smile. “Shaun, I don’t want any answers from you or anyone else anymore. I only want you all to leave me alone. “I mean it.” Shaun’s lips twitched, and his hands shook. “I’m sorry. I broke my promise. When you suddenly said you wanted a divorce, I agreed out of anger. I thought you’d come back to me soon enough. “I never thought about how you felt. Quiana, I promise I only see Stella as a sister. I’ve never liked her in that way. Jaxon is just acting out because you’ve always been controlling. He still cares about you.” Hearing Shaun’s excuses made me feel sick. I was exhausted and looked at him wearily. “Just go away. I don’t want to hear your excuses.” “Mom?” Just then, a Maybach pulled up, and two people got out. Jaxon was holding Stella’s hand as they walked over. I suddenly remembered that this bus stop was near Jaxon’s school. Jaxon pursed his lips. “Mom, I was wrong that day. I shouldn’t have said that and made you angry.” Stella look

“It’s no use. With her condition… Ms. Johnston, you should go see her. It might be the last time.” For a moment, I felt dizzy. I could hardly hear anything, and my head was throbbing. “Quiana, pull yourself together!” I could barely hear Shaun calling me. I forced myself to lean onto the wall for support and walked to my mother’s hospital room. She was still sleeping. “Mom, wake up.” I gently touched her cheek. My mom and I had escaped from the mountains. She was a college student who had been kidnapped. However, she could not have her own children. They mistreated her and threatened her life. When I was just a baby, I was taken away and given to her to raise as her own. Years later, she risked everything to escape with me. She knew I was taken from Soriah, so she brought me back here. When I was young, we did not have enough money for food, but she always gave me her share. When I could not afford school, she sold everything she had to pay for my tuition.
