They Regretted Locking Me Out on Christmas Chapter 10
She held up a worn scarf, trying to wrap it around my neck. Her tone was soft and ingratiating.“Are you hungry? Cold? Do you want to grab something to eat? I booked your favorite restaurant…”Yara timidly tugged at the corner of my coat. Her eyes were red.“Daddy…”I took a step back, avoiding their touch.“Say what you came to say.”The smile on Lily’s face faltered, then turned bitter.“Melvin, I know I was wrong.“That liar Carson has already been arrested. Yara and I both see him for what he really is now.“I was blind before, completely out of my mind. This family can’t survive without you. Yara can’t be without her father…“She had a fever yesterday and kept calling your name. She really misses you.”She nudged Yara forward.Immediately, the girl looked up at me with tear-filled eyes.“Daddy, I was wrong… I shouldn’t have said those things to hurt you…“Uncle Jones is a liar. He tricked Mom and me. He didn’t treat us well at all. He wouldn’t cook for me, and he did

When Carson saw that he had been exposed, he stopped pretending altogether and shouted, “Enough talking! Pay up already! If not, they’re going to beat me to death!”“He’s not even my husband. Deal with your own mess!” Lily shouted in fury.“I can’t pay it back…”“You can’t? If you can’t pay, we’ll send you overseas, or to Myanmar. Either way, you’ll find a way to repay it!”As the men loomed closer, grinning viciously, Carson jabbed a finger at the antique vase in the living room and shouted in panic:“Wait, wait! There are plenty of valuable things in this house! Take them! As long as it clears my debt, take whatever you want!“Take it all! Move everything out!”The leader waved his hand, and the others rushed in. They ransacked the villa, hauling everything out in a frenzy.Antiques, luxury watches, even the keys to Lily’s newly purchased car were all taken.“Stop! This is my house! This is robbery!“Get out of the way!”Lily tried to stop them, but one of the men shoved h

Beep, beep, beep.The call disconnected.Yara froze.A few seconds later, she suddenly burst into heart-wrenching sobs.“Mommy… wasn’t I Daddy’s favorite? Why would he say something like that… I want Daddy…”Lily hurriedly tried to comfort her.“Don’t cry, don’t cry. Daddy’s just upset right now. Mommy will bring him back…”Carson, irritated by the noise, could not help but roll his eyes.“What are you crying for? Your dad already said he doesn’t want you anymore. What’s the point of crying? It’s annoying.”His words only made Yara cry harder. Her breath hitched between sobs.Lily whipped her head around and shouted,“Carson! What are you saying to a child? Aren’t things bad enough already?!”Just then, rapid knocking sounded at the door.Yara’s crying faltered. She lifted her head in a daze“Mommy… who is it? Is it… is it Daddy? Did Daddy come back?”Something stirred in Lily’s heart, and a flicker of hope lit her eyes.Had Melvin softened after all? Had he come back f

He guiltily shifted the shopping bag behind his back.“I… I noticed that there was still time, so I stopped by the computer mall…“Yara’s already grown up. She should be able to get home on her own…”“Shopping?!”Lily was shaking with rage, pointing straight at him as she exploded.“Yara was in the infirmary with stomach pain, and it’s raining heavily outside, yet you went shopping?!“What kind of person are you?!”“I’m not her father!” Carson, stung by the scolding, jabbed a finger at Lily and snapped.“You’re her actual mother. If you didn’t go pick her up, why should I be at your beck and call?”He glanced at Yara, who was burning up and half-conscious, then actually took a step back, covering his nose and mouth in disgust.“Don’t tell me she’s got the flu or something. Don’t let her infect me. I’m a guy. I don’t take care of people.”As Lily looked at this man, who once made her feel proud to be seen with him. She now felt nothing but disgust.She ignored him, picked up

They really had not changed at all.I smiled bitterly and shook my head as another message from Axel came through.[By the way, Mr. Lane, I took a closer look just now. Lily’s company really isn’t competitive anymore.][There’s a rising tech company that wants to partner with us. Their technology is better, and their pricing is good too.][What do you think… should we replace Lily?]My fingers hovered over the screen for a long time.All these years, to protect Lily’s pride, I had quietly funneled her more than enough resources.Even for the Golden Age Group’s partnership, I had pulled strings from old connections just to secure it for her.I had done more than enough.[Replace her.]After typing those three words, I let out a long sigh of relief.[Handle it by the book. Don’t take me into consideration.]…After finally seeing off Axel, Lily barely had a moment to catch her breath before her phone rang.“Ms. Quinn? I’m Yara’s homeroom teacher. She’s been complaining of s

“If you’re not Melvin… then why are you wearing his watch?”Lily’s mind couldn’t quite process what was happening as she looked at that unfamiliar yet handsome face.The watch design was identical to the one Melvin had been wearing when he left home.The man in front of her frowned and laughed coldly, brushing her hand away.“I’m Axel Young, the representative sent by the Golden Age Group.“I bought this watch online. What about it, Ms. Quinn? Does your family own the shopping app? Do people need your permission just to buy something?“Or do you think anyone wearing this watch is your husband?”Lily was rendered speechless. Her face turned a deep shade of red.She never expected that this man, who bore such a similar side profile to Melvin, would actually be the Golden Age Group’s representative.“Mr. Young, it’s a misunderstanding… all of it is a misunderstanding…”“Asking me to wash your ashtray was also a misunderstanding?”Axel crossed his arms and looked at her coldly.
