All Chapters of Why the Crocodile Tears?: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Ever since Xander started school, he had changed quite a bit. Anathea wondered if their bond as mother and son could be mended slowly.But that was just a pipe dream.However, Hannah took a more realistic approach and warned her, "Thea, you need to remember that Gregory is Xander's father. He's a Sinclair. Realistically speaking, how much of a chance do you think you have of winning custody against the Sinclairs?"Even if Anathea wanted to fight for custody, and even if she was willing to go through legal means, the financial and emotional cost would be overwhelming.Right now, she already had her hands full taking care of Fiona and managing her own job—she didn't have the time or energy for a custody battle."I know you went through so much to give birth to Xander, and you've poured so much love into raising him all these years. But you've given enough, Thea. If he truly felt that love, then he wouldn't be so close to a woman who's been trying to destroy your family. I think you

Yesterday, Gregory had flown into a huge rage. Jenny had worked for him for years, but she'd never seen him in such a state. Anathea cast her eyes downward and said, "Alright, got it." She'd never seen Gregory like that before either, not to mention the fact that the reason he'd gotten worked up was because he'd misunderstood Anathea's relationship with Tom. Anathea found this hilarious. Gregory had been toeing the line regarding his closeness with Natalie. Yet, here he was pointing his finger at Anathea. However, Gregory's temper was unpredictable. It would be best for her to not piss him off again. After finishing her breakfast, Anathea turned her phone on to reply to a few messages. However, a notification popped up from a news outlet, "The CEO of Sinclair Group Stayed Up All Night Caring for His Girlfriend Fresh Out of Surgery". Anathea smirked humorlessly and clicked into it. There was a photo of Gregory decked out in a full suit, sitting in the VIP lounge area of t

As Isabel spoke, she took her bathrobe off. Anathea glanced at Isabel's bathing suit and looked down at her own. Then, she remembered the attire of the guests in the corridor. Yeah, it was true, she was wearing a little too much. It made her stand out. "This is all I have, though," said Anathea. "That's fine! I've got it!" Isabel immediately set things in motion and passed a box to Anathea. "Go try it on. I swear, it'll be gorgeous!" She had no idea how to describe it! However, Isabel seemed to find it as normal as could possibly be. "Of course! You've got to wear this sort of bathing costume when soaking in a hot spring for optimal enjoyment. Go on and change into this, Anathea. I'll be waiting for you outside." She took Anathea's high-coverage swimsuit away from her and left. Anathea couldn't even go back on her promise. Anathea smiled resignedly and glanced at the box in her hand. Fine. It was just the three of them anyway. There was no point in being so uptight about

From his defined features to his amazing figure, Gregory was a masterpiece of a man. This explained why so many women fawned over him back then. However, there seemed to be a faint scar on his neck. Anathea had no idea when he'd gotten hurt. She got lost in her thoughts for a moment. Gregory looked down at her bewildered expression and snorted. "Has this sight stunned you?" Anathea came to suddenly and frowned. She tried to leave, but he held her down firmly with both hands. "Let me go." He didn't budge. Instead, he asked mockingly, "Who has a better figure? Thomas, or me?" She didn't know why he suddenly felt the need to compare himself to Thomas. She looked away and replied, "I don't know." "You don't know?" Gregory harrumphed and grabbed her chin, tilting it upwards so she was forced to make eye contact with him. "You've got such a close relationship with him to the point where you call him to flirt while in the hot springs. Yet, now you're telling me you don't know?"

"Who said that? Adrian's still single, isn't he? Dominic from Syntherra also isn't married. Stop fussing over me, Aunt Eleanor." Theo gave Eleanor a slice of cake and said, "Here, take a bite." He wanted to prevent her from being able to converse with him as she chewed. "I think you're trying to drive me mad!" Eleanor glared at him. "Alright, it's a rare treat for us all to be gathered here for a meal together. Do you have to get into a row every time?" Brisa was displeased. Eleanor looked down and kept silent. She picked at the food on her plate. "Nat, please eat," said Brisa. Her gentle expression was a stark contrast to her usual strict demeanor. Anathea nodded with a smile. However, she didn't have a good appetite. Thus, she only took some food from the plates before her and nibbled at it. Upon seeing her behavior, Brisa told Gregory, "Gregory, don't just eat. Get some food for your wife." Anathea froze for a moment before saying, "There's no need for that, Grandm
