Three Chances, Then Never Again Chapter 11
Steve frowned at Zoey and replied with a sneer, "No! Maybe he was too embarrassed to come to school!"Sean had just arrived and saw the two of them facing off. His unease deepened.Yesterday, as soon as he got home, he received two documents—one was a termination notice, the other a letter from a lawyer.He had thought he had successfully won Zoey back, but he hadn't realized that her heart had already belonged to Jonathan and me. She simply wouldn't acknowledge it.When the principal learned Zoey's identity, his surprise quickly turned into contempt."In all my years, I've never seen anyone so eager to play mother to another child," he said harshly.He didn't hold back. "At every parent-teacher meeting, the other kids teased Jon for not having a mother. I honestly thought his mother had passed away. "Jon's father has already withdrawn him from school. Aside from the awards he didn't pick up, I have no record of him here anymore."Zoey held a thick stack of awards at the schoo

Sean chased after Zoey. He held Steve and shouted at Zoey, "Zoey! Take your anger out on me! Steve is just a child!"In Zoey's mind, my voice echoed again and again.I once said to her, "Zoey, you can misunderstand me all you want, but Jon is just a child. He's innocent. Can you show him even a little motherly affection?"She thought of me, the proud man. Misunderstood or ignored, I never gave in. Jonathan was the only reason I would ever yield.Fuming, Zoey called the security guards and had them escorted out. Then she started frantically calling the office, trying to reach the HR director, Susan Brown. Her anger was boiling over."Hello?" she snapped when the call finally connected.The line was noisy, but Zoey could hear Susan calming a child in a gentle tone. "Sweetheart, I have work to do, but I'll come help build the blocks soon, okay?"A child answered softly, "Okay! Hurry, or the monster will take over your room!"Susan chuckled softly in response, then moved to a quiet

Hearing the hostility in Zoey's tone, Sean said awkwardly, "Steve knows he caused serious trouble. He insisted on coming to apologize in person. I also have some work matters I wanted to ask Mr. Lane about. After all, he used to…"Zoey looked at the father and son. Their eyes were clearly red from crying. She also noticed the neighbors watching.Reluctantly, she stepped aside and let them in.Steve immediately spotted the KFC on the table. He reached for it, but Sean shot him a sharp look.Startled, Steve pulled his hand back. He then lowered his head and spoke in an aggrieved tone. "I was wrong, future Mommy. I shouldn't have drawn on your documents…"Seeing his expression, Zoey softened for a moment. Jonathan often looked at her with the same look in his eyes.She felt a pang of unease at the thought of Jonathan. So much time had passed, yet Jonathan and I were still not home.She ignored Sean and Steve, grabbed her phone, and went into the kitchen. She tried calling me, only

Zoey rubbed her temples, trying to push away the absurd thought in her head.But Jonathan's face rose unbidden in her mind. She might not have loved me, but she shouldn't have taken it out on our child.With that in mind, Zoey took out her phone and typed quickly, "Pack up. I'm taking you guys out tonight."Sensing how cold it sounded, she frowned and re-typed, "Let's take Jon out for KFC tonight."She read it twice. Then she took a deep breath and hit send.The afternoon passed, but her message received no response.Zoey picked up her phone again and again, only to set it down in disappointment.Sean brought over a cup of coffee and set it on her desk. He said softly, "Zoey…"Zoey stared at the blank screen, not bothering to look up. A trace of irritation crept into her voice without her noticing. "Leave it and go out. And from now on, call me Ms. Sutton at the office. Even if I put you in this position, you need to be discreet."Sean's eyes reddened, making him look pitiful.

The client said nothing, weighing the damage to his ego.Sean suddenly broke down crying. His pitiful display made everyone frown, and whatever goodwill they had left quickly disappeared.In the workplace, looks were only a bonus. These seasoned professionals cared most about one's competence.I was decent-looking and far more capable than Sean. No one understood what Zoey was thinking. She had actually traded me for a useless ornament.After everyone left, Sean looked at Zoey. "Zoey, I'm sorry. I didn't expect this to happen. What should I do?"Zoey instinctively wanted to comfort him. But when she met his helpless gaze, she froze.I had never looked at her like that. I was prideful, and I pursued perfection in everything I did. No matter how difficult the task or how tricky the situation, I always resolved it.Unlike Sean, I never cried or dumped the mess on her to deal with.She thought that if I had been in Sean's place today, none of this would have happened. Jonathan was

My finger hovered over the power button, but I couldn't bring myself to press it.Jonathan noticed my hesitation. He glanced at the screen, and tears welled up in his eyes. He then tugged at my sleeve and lowered his head."Daddy, we're taking off soon," he reminded, his voice barely a whisper.I gently ruffled his hair. My heart ached at how suddenly he had matured.…Back at the office, Zoey stared at the screen as the alert showed that my phone had been turned off, and she frowned.She had rushed over in a panic the night before, only to find that Steve had merely been hungry. He had thrown a tantrum for KFC.She thought of Jonathan, whom she had abandoned, and guilt crept into her heart.Zoey saw how much Steve enjoyed the meal yesterday. She thought that if she took Jonathan to KFC today, he would probably be thrilled as well."Zoey…"Sean's voice pulled her out of her thoughts.Zoey looked at Sean in his thin black V-neck shirt and frowned slightly. She knew he had exc
