Semua Bab If I were Yours: Bab 261 - Bab 270

Dorian was looking at Jean with worry in his eyes. It was like he was afraid that she and Tyler had really fought. Jean tried to relax and smiled lightly. "No, we didn't fight. It's just that your dad is too busy with work, so I have to take care of you."Dorian looked around him curiously. "Then why aren't we at Teak Villa?"Pursing her lips, Jean said, "Because your father and I haven't remarried yet. If we stay together, people will talk."Besides, I want you to be happy. But if your dad and I are not suited for each other, we'll keep fighting even when we're together. Then, everyone will be unhappy."Dorian understood her and nodded."I have friends whose parents always fight."She was worried that Dorian would find it hard to accept that she and Tyler had problems.It seemed that Dorian was strong.But the more mature and stronger a child was, the more one's heart would ache.If time could be turned back, Jean would wish that she'd never left Henkel five years ago.If

Coleen was extremely upset with Jean, so she did not hold back her words.A glimmer of a smile appeared in Esme's eyes when Coleen said that. But seeing that Tyler looked unhappy, she said, "Let's not put it that way, Aunt Coleen. No matter what, she's Dorian's mother. We should prioritize harmonious relationships."Coleen sighed. She looked at Tyler, upset, and said, "I can count on you for being mature."Smiling, Esme said, "Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Dorian will be sad if he hears it."Tyler looked at Coleen indifferently. "She never agreed to be with me in the first place. It's not because of that matter."Coleen's gaze sharpened. She was even unhappier now.Judy saw this and said, "Esme is still here. We won't talk about this anymore."Esme smiled, then swept a nonchalant glance at Tyler. When she saw him so quiet, she grew a little upset.After dinner, Tyler and Esme took Dorian away.Esme looked at Dorian, who was already half-asleep in the back seat. Lig

Jean didn't believe that Esme had let go of Tyler.If she truly had, she wouldn't have stuck around for so many years.Jean sighed. Dorian walked out after washing up. She immediately went to him and held his hand. "What did Ms. Page do when she came into your room?"Dorian said with pursed lips, "She gave me water. Mr. Anders might be busy, so he didn't hear me saying that I wanted water. That's why Aunt Esme brought it over."Jean was stunned and said lightly, "Did she sleep here last night?"Dorian nodded obediently. Then, as if afraid that she would misunderstand, he said, "Mom, Aunt Esme is dad's sister. She slept in the guest room."Jean pursed her lips at Dorian's explanation. He was still young. There were some things he didn't know.But since Dorian seemed trusting of Esme, Jean suddenly had no idea what to say.She didn't really care if Esme slept here last night.What she was concerned about was that Esme was getting close to Dorian on purpose."Let's go down for b

Albert, the butler, had put things simply. However, Jean could discern the underlying meaning.It had been Esme who had kept Dorian company over the years because Joyce had paid little to no attention to the kid.Dorian used to be distant from Esme due to his personality, but it was clear that her company had changed something in him. It made him more accepting of her.It seemed that Dorian wasn't completely against Esme's presence.Jean sighed inwardly, starting to feel a little worried.She wanted more people to love and care for Dorian, but she didn't want Esme to be one of them.She thought it was probably due to her unfavorable impression of the Page family, especially after all she had gone through involving Lilian. Furthermore, Esme was a pampered young lady from a rich family. Jean was doubtful that the woman was being genuinely good to her son.Jean walked out of the dining room and saw Esme sitting next to Tyler. Dorian was in Tyler's arms."Dad, can you come to th

Jean's expression darkened as she watched Esme's figure disappear from her sight. She was unable to hold back her emotions anymore.It turned out that Tyler would rather go shopping with Esme than come to the amusement park with her and Dorian.She took a deep breath as she tried to calm herself down. She did not want to start dwelling on the issue.However, she couldn't help but worry. If Esme and Tyler really did end up getting together in the future, Dorian's position in the household would definitely be affected."Mom!" Dorian called out from behind her.Jean regained her composure as she turned to look at her son with a gentle smile on her face. "What is it?" she asked.Dorian had a huge smile on his face. He looked happy from all the fun he was having. His cheeks were red with excitement."Mom, come join me on this activity!"Jean nodded immediately. "Alright."Esme turned away and went back to the mall. When she found Tyler, the man was standing in front of the large fl
