Waking Up As the Villain's Mother Chapter 57
Chapter 57.After a long, contemplative discussion with Ajax, we reached a consensus: Dylan should stay on a leave of absence for the time being. The reports from the Snap parents’ group were alarming—more kids in his class were falling ill with unusual frequency. The pattern was clear enough: a rise in colds, fevers, and lingering coughs. It didn’t make sense to rush him back into the chaos of the classroom just yet. His immune system was still fragile, not yet fully developed, and with the recent outbreaks, sending him back felt like inviting trouble.So, for now, Dylan remained under my care.He had become my little sidekick—my shadow, my apprentice in this makeshift life I was trying to navigate. Every morning, he’d attend the spoken English class, sitting obediently at his tiny desk, repeating phrases after the teacher with a concentration that was almost comical. His bright eyes would light up every time he learned a new word, and he'd practice diligently at home, eager to sho

Chapter 56.When Ajax said he was making longevity noodles, I felt something clench in my chest.At first, I thought he was just hungry. Maybe a late-night craving, maybe a habit I hadn’t noticed before. But when he said those words—“We usually celebrate by eating longevity noodles”—something in the way he looked at the pot of boiling water, at the vegetables in his hands, told me this wasn’t about food. Not really.It was about memory. About ritual. About something that connected him, however faintly, to a family he no longer had.Although there wasn't much said about Ajax in the novel, it was a fact that he had lost his parents at a young age. He had only

Chapter 55It was warm yet I froze.Those few words from Dylan—"Mommy, I gave you lots of kisses. Don't hurt anymore"—completely blindsided me. My chest tightened, caught somewhere between laughter and tears.It took me a moment to catch up and understand what he meant.Of course. He was talking about childbirth. About the pain of bringing a little life into the world.Even though I had never experienced it myself, just using my toes to think—let alone my brain—I knew it had to hurt like hell. In modern times, we had c-sections and epidurals and all sorts of ways to dull the agony, but that didn’t mean it stopped there. A surgical cut through your abdomen and uterus might spare you in the moment, but the aftermath lingered—stitches, soreness, healing flesh. Months of tenderness. Maybe even years.And for the women who gave birth naturally… The pain of labor itself was legendary. A ten out of ten on the pain scale. No, some said it broke the scale entirely.I remembered how one of my

Chapter 54.Since their little family of three had dinner out that evening, Gwyneth gave Susan, the housekeeper half a day off. Though the aunty wasn’t originally from this city, her son and daughter-in-law worked nearby and had purchased a modest home in the area. With the unexpected break, she chose to spend the night at their place and wouldn’t return to the villa until the following morning.When they came home, Ajax noticed Gwyneth looked tired, so he volunteered to handle Dylan’s bath.Bathing their chubby son was practically a workout. The moment Dylan touched water, he transformed into a spirited little dolphin, splashing and squealing. He refused to leave the bathtub for at least half an hour.

Chapter 53.Dylan couldn’t have known it was Ajax’s birthday. That ruled out him as the source. And honestly, there weren’t many people left who still remembered the date. Most of the friends who used to celebrate it with him were now busy with their own lives—juggling families, careers, and the endless responsibilities of adulthood.Even if they hadn’t forgotten, they definitely didn’t interact with Gwyneth enough to have passed on the information. So how had she found out?As if sensing his unspoken question, Gwyneth calmly explained, “When I was looking through some documents earlier today, I happened to come across

Chapter 52.Dylan’s behavior stirred something in me—a memory I hadn’t touched in years. I used to be like that too, back when I was his age. Whenever my parents visited my grandparents’ house, I would cling to my mom’s hand and drag her around proudly, showing her off to anyone who’d look. She never asked me why I did it. And unlike Dylan, I never said why. I just… wanted to.Looking back now, I realized that had been a missed opportunity. Maybe if I had spoken up—if I had told her what I felt—she might’ve understood me a little better. Maybe it wouldn’t have changed anything. But maybe it could’ve. Who knows?Do parents and children always miss the right timing?When we want to be heard, our parents are often too busy to listen. And by the time they’re ready to listen, we’ve already learned to stay quiet, to keep things to ourselves.I crouched down and wrapped my arms around my soft, chubby little boy. “En, Dylan is Mom’s good child,” I said, my voice full of warmth.He hugged me r

Chapter 30.I didn’t know what had happened while Ajax was gone, but when he came back from the bathroom, I could feel it.His gaze kept drifting toward me. Not glaring or intense, just… present. Repeated. Controlled.He kept looking at me.I caught him more than once. The kind of look someone give

Chapter 29.Halfway through the wedding banquet, Ajax excused himself from the table and quietly left the hall. His destination was through the bathroom.The corridors outside the reception buzzed faintly with music and laughter that filtered in from the distance, but here—just beyond the arched do

Chapter 26.I didn’t want to go. Honestly, I didn’t. But Ajax had already said something in front of Dylan, and there was a bright-eyed little boy tugging on my sleeve, begging me to go a

Chapter 28.Ajax hadn't brought up divorce, and he never tried to control my personal life. We lived like polite roommates—distant, harmonious, and each keeping to our own lane. Plastic couple was the best way to describe us. I don’t love him, and he didn’t pretend to love me either. We were the t
