My Son Fed Me Cake to Kill My Baby

It rained heavily on the day of my discharge. I was soaked through when I returned to Quest Villa.As soon as Zac saw me, he covered his nose in disgust. "You reek!"The summer rain had a muddy smell, but it was not unpleasant. He was saying that just to make Winona smile.Sure enough, his exaggerated performance made Winona, who was wearing my pajamas, cover her mouth and chuckle softly. Her eyes were brimming with pride and provocation as she looked at me.I simply ignored her and turned around to go upstairs.Sterling hurried out of the kitchen, frowning and looking at me with disgust. "Winona put aside work today to spend time with Zac. It's one thing that you're not grateful, but who are you showing that attitude to?"I stood on the steps, my gaze indifferent. "Yeah, that's why I'm letting her have you. Let's get divorced."My voice was soft but clear.A trace of disdain flashed in Sterling's eyes. "Sienna, where did you learn this bad habit? You're always threatening to d

The car came to a halt at the staff dormitory building of the museum.I carried my suitcase upstairs and opened the single apartment that my boss, Alex Darmon, had reserved for me. Before I could even unpack, I received a call from Alex."Sienna, there's a mission from above. A large tomb has been discovered in the Patagonian Desert. They need urgent restoration of cultural relics. I booked a flight for tomorrow for you. Hurry up and pack your luggage! This mission is important. Don't worry, I'll go with you to apologize to Mr. Quest when you come back...""No need, Mr. Darmon. I'm planning to get divorced. I'll focus on the restoration of cultural relics from now on," I replied softly.Sterling had never liked me devoting myself entirely to the restoration of cultural relics. He did not have any respect for the work and said that it would prevent me from concentrating on taking care of Zac. I cared about him and Zac, so I always rejected business trips that Alex arranged.Only no

I carried Miley home.Sterling refused to leave but was scared to get too close to me, so he could only hold Zac's hand as they followed me from a distance.I just ignored them as I carried Miley home and applied medicine to her wounds. Zac was two years older than her, and he was evidently stronger. Miley's knees and elbows had superficial injuries.I patiently coaxed her as I finally finished applying the medicine.Looking back, I saw Zac looking at me with tears in his eyes. "Mom, my hand hurts too."I looked at the wound on his tender palm that was dusted with sand, but I was indifferent. I loved him to the core in the past. Even a casual cough from him was enough to make me tense, what more a wound like that. "I still have work to do this afternoon. Be good at home, or the wounds will bleed again," I gently instructed Miley.With her big, round eyes wide open, she timidly glanced at Sterling and Zac behind me before glancing back at me. She asked anxiously, "Mommy, are you

Sterling was much quieter after that day. It was not just that he felt guilty toward me. Quest Group was being criticized by netizens due to Winona's reputation.I had avoided going online for years and only found out recently that it was revealed that Winona's reputation as an award-winning screenwriter was fake. It happened right before the movie based on her was released. Her award-winning work was just a blatant compilation of others' work. She plagiarized the original works of no less than 20 rookie screenwriters.Sterling kept public opinion under fire. For some unknown reason, Sterling suddenly unfollowed Winona two years ago. It was only then that netizens brought up the matter again.Winona went from being hailed as a genius to being scolded online as a plagiarizing fraud, but none of that had anything to do with me.The excavation work of the tomb and the surrounding burial pits was coming to an end after three years. Once all the cultural relics were successfully restore

Sterling's POV:In his eyes, Sienna was always quiet and reserved. She was boring, just like her job. Sienna was even more incomparable to Winona.For some reason, every time Sterling returned to his family's house drunk and frustrated, his irritable heart would always calm down after seeing Sienna chatting happily with his grandfather. Thus, he began to deliberately get drunk and return to his family's house just to meet Sienna. Taking advantage of being drunk, he played tricks on her.Sterling was amused by her reddened ear tips. However, what happened later was an accident. Sterling had not meant to hurt Sienna.Later, when his grandfather ordered him to marry Sienna, he was unexpectedly relieved and somewhat... glad and excited.Life after marriage remained as plain as ever.Sienna was fully devoted to her restoration work, which made Sterling very jealous. Thus, he deliberately said Sienna's work would bring bad luck and also used Zac as an excuse to make Sienna focus more o
