Chapter 153: Greater Challenge

LANABefore I could realize what he meant, several gunshots rent the air. In that chaos, I saw Edward let out muffled moans of pain.Suddenly, his grip around my neck loosened. In that moment, I understood—Maximum had already devised a plan to save me from afar.He had been playing a script all along.Without hesitation, he moved swiftly, pulling me free from Edward’s grasp and sending him flying backward with a powerful kick.He stared at me, and I looked back, but at that moment, I couldn’t find the words to speak. I could feel the anger and disappointment in his eyes, and I knew I had worried him over the past few days."Let’s go home," he said curtly, taking my hand.I quietly followed without protest. We entered the car, and the drive home was painfully silent—no words exchanged between us.Once in the city, he instructed the driver, "Drive to the hospital." The driver immediately complied.We pulled into the hospital parking lot, and I followed him inside. My heart pounded with a

Chapter 154: The Interview

LANA I was surprised by my husband's praise for such a trivial reason, and honestly, I wasn’t sure how to feel about it.“You should rest. We’ll see the therapist later,” Maximum said firmly before rising from his seat and walking away.Once he had left, I lay down on the bed and drifted off to sleep. When I woke up, I felt much calmer and more at peace.Later, he approached me with a plate in hand. “Eat,” he said softly, then gently spoon-fed me. Afterward, we exchanged a few words before heading to the therapist. The therapist confirmed that I was in perfect condition, and we left the hospital.The drive home was unusually quiet. I didn’t know what to say, nor did I want to revisit the kidnapping ordeal. My mind was blank, and I couldn’t come up with any topics to discuss.When we arrived, the car pulled over in front of the house. I got out first, followed by Maximum.“Lana, I’ll be away for a few days,” he said softly.I turned to look at him, feeling anxious. “Why so sudden?”He

Chapter 155: It Because Of You

LANAAs we descended the staircase, an overwhelming wave of nervousness and fear washed over me. My gaze suddenly fixed on the woman and the little boy sitting in the sitting-room.In that moment, my heart seemed to stop beating. I was unsure of how I should feel—fear staring me right in the face left me paralyzed, unable to decide how to react.Confusion, frustration, and a creeping sense of madness swirled within me. I felt utterly lost.Then Maximum glanced behind him, our eyes locking. He offered me a smile, but I was too weak—too overwhelmed—to return it."Come, my love," he said softly, then began to descend the stairs.Slowly, I followed, only to see the little boy—who had been sitting on the other lady's lap—jump down and run toward his father, calling him, "Daddy!"At that moment, I felt more out of place in my own home than ever before. It was as if I had become the outsider, the woman trying to tear apart a beautiful family.The boy giggled as Maximum teased him gently. I w

Chapter 156: I Don't Know

LANAThe sitting-room fell into an eerie silence, thick with unspoken tension. I could feel the weight of it pressing down on us all.Maximum looked at Charles with cold, unforgiving eyes, his voice deep and low as he commanded, “Apologize to my wife.”In that moment, I felt a warm surge of emotion — I realized just how dear I was to Maximum.Charles retorted, “No, Dad. Why can't you marry Mommy? Is it because she's prettier than Mommy? Why? Why?”I wasn't sure whether to feel pleased or upset by the little boy’s words. I avoided Annabella’s gaze, not wanting to see her facial reaction after her son had just admitted someone was prettier than her.Maximum’s voice remained calm but firm. “Apologize to my wife,” he repeated.Seeing how serious Maximum was, Charles burst into tears.Maximum remained impassive, his expression unreadable. “Annabella, both of you will return to England before dawn tomorrow. I don’t want to wake up and see you both in my house,” he said, his tone cold and de

Chapter 157: Only My Wife

LANAAt that moment, I felt panic creeping in for the first time. I was still trying to gather my thoughts, wondering what to say to her, when suddenly I heard Charles’s voice from downstairs.“Mommy, come and join us! Let’s play together,” he called.Annabella looked at me and smiled softly before walking away. A few minutes later, she joined Charles and the others, leaving me feeling like an outsider.Maximum must have noticed my unease. He glanced toward me from the balcony, and I waved at him with a small smile.He then turned away from the mother and son, but Charles called out again, “Dad, where are you going? Aren’t you going to play with us?”Maximum responded gently, “It’s late. Time to rest and get ready for school tomorrow.”He returned inside, and I left the balcony, entering our bedroom. My mind was suddenly filled with thoughts of having a child.“Do you want a child?” I blurted out suddenly to Maximum.He looked at me in surprise, caught off guard by the question, just

Chapter 158: What Did You Say?

LANAI realized that Maximum wasn’t wrong to suspect Annabella; every fact seemed to point toward her having a hidden agenda and secret plans.That night, I lay awake, pondering what I should do next. The next morning, we woke up and prepared for the day. I got ready for school, and after sharing a quick kiss, we headed out.Maximum promised, “Babe, I’m going to drive you to school.”Hearing that made me feel a surge of excitement. My husband had been so busy the past few weeks that our bond had suffered, and he hadn’t driven me to campus in a while. I was both thrilled and looking forward to it.We descended the staircase together.At the dining table, Annabella and her son were already waiting.When Charles saw Maximum, he immediately sprang to his feet, running over and shouting, “Good morning, Daddy!”Maximum scooped him up from the ground and, with a serious tone, instructed, “Greet my wife too.”Charles pursed his lips — I expected him to stubbornly refuse, but to my surprise, h

Chapter 159: A DNA Test

LANAMy dad didn’t insist I stay either. Instead, he got to his feet, looked at me, and said softly, “Let me walk you out.”He didn’t say another word about Annabella or her son. Instead, he simply embraced me and added, “Come home more often.”“Thank you, Daddy,” I replied, feeling a warmth spread through me.We broke the hug, and I stepped into the car. As we drove away, I couldn’t shake the thoughts swirling in my mind. His words echoed in my head, and I felt a strange pressure—restless, almost overwhelmed. Somehow, what he said made sense, even if I didn’t want to admit it.By the time the car pulled up to my house, dusk had fallen. From inside, I saw Charles running around, laughing happily, Maximus chasing after him.Watching them, I couldn’t help but think—perhaps they really are like father and son. The resemblance struck me suddenly, and I wondered if I was overthinking.Quietly, I entered the house without disturbing them. After a quick shower and changing clothes, I heard a

Chapter 160: They Have To Leave

MAXIMUMWhen I first heard the news, I was furious. But after a moment of reflection, I realized there was no real reason to be angry with my wife for trying to confirm the truth. If she hadn’t done so, I might have thought she didn’t love me at all.A faint smile curled my lips.Then I gave the order, my voice firm: “Make sure no one tampers with the results.”I knew my father-in-law too well. He might see this as an opportunity to sow discord between me and Annabella. I had to be cautious.Lost in thought, I pondered what to do with Annabella and Charles. After a few days, especially once Lana received the DNA results, I decided to send them away.I clocked out early from work and headed home. As I entered, I saw Annabella already there — I was sure Charles had returned from school too.“Welcome home, Max,” Annabella greeted me with a warm smile.I looked at her steadily. “Come with me,” I commanded.I led her to my study and seated her gently. Once she was settled, she said, “Charl

Chapter 161: I Am Sorry

LANAI had been thinking about it too, and I found myself somewhat agreeing—separating Charles from his mother would only cause him more harm.After washing up and changing, we descended for dinner. The atmosphere in the dining room was tense; no one spoke, and it seemed as though no one was willing to break the heavy silence.Once dinner was over, we moved to the sitting room and sat in front of the screen. My thoughts wandered elsewhere, lost in deep reflection. Suddenly, Charles stood up abruptly and knelt before Maximum.He cupped his hands together and pleaded emotionally, “Please, Dad, don’t send me away. I promise I’ll be good, I’ll be obedient and respectful. I’ll never cause trouble. Please don’t send me away.”Seeing tears streaming down his face, along with snot, my heart ached. I couldn’t hold back the tears in my own eyes.“Who told you you’d be sent away?” Maximum asked suddenly.I turned to look at Annabella, my heart pounding at the thought that a mother might use her

Chapter 162: Why Are You Smiling?

LANAHe turned around at the door and said to me, "I understand you, my love." Then he opened the door and left. I looked down at my feet, lost in thought about what I had just done. A wave of relief washed over me—I didn’t want Charles to leave, not today, not until the DNA results came back. I didn’t want Maximum to regret his decision.I glanced outside and saw Annabella and her son had moved their luggage back into the house. I exhaled in relief.It was dinner time. I left my room, and Maximum stepped out of the study. We headed downstairs together. When we reached the dining area, I saw Charles and his mother already seated there.“Daddy!” Charles cried happily, then jumped off his seat and ran toward Maximum.Seeing this, a smile spread across my face. I was truly happy because he was happy. I even imagined how it would feel if my own child ran up to me, shouting my name and trying to embrace me.“Thank you, Dad,” Charles said with a sweet smile. “For not letting us leave. Mom t
