Semua Bab I Left the Son to My Ex's Mistress, He Regrets: Bab 51 - Bab 60

Evelyn’s perspectiveAdrian commented, “Evelyn, Liam only wants to see you. You don't have to bring him along. What's wrong? Don’t you want to see Liam? He's your son!”Well, it looks like his attitude is still caustic, after all.Sure enough, Adrian's mood had soured. A moment ago, he was speaking civilly but now he was making unreasonable accusations. It was truly annoying.“Why would you say something stupid like that, Adrian? I had already agreed to go see him. You’d better not cause trouble. I don’t have any patience for your theatrics right now,” I warned.He looked surprised, and kept quiet for a moment. But soon enough, he frowned and said, “But I can tell you’re unwilling to see him. It’s not like I’m forcing you.”Adrian narrowed his eyes and carried on. “Evelyn, Liam is your son. That little girl you’re concerned about is no blood relation to you. So, who’s more important, huh?”What does that mean? Is he trying moral blackmail? Feeling a surge of anger, I burst out laughin

Evelyn’s perspective“Evelyn, you’ve gone too far!” Adrian’s face was a heavy scowl, his eyes narrowed, his brow deeply furrowed.I thought Adrian would be smarter, but he immediately started accusing me. I was speechless, and didn't want to be drawn into this ridiculous fiasco.I wanted Liam to set his father right about what really happened but when I looked at him, he dared not meet my gaze. I understood — he was hesitating because of Vivian’s claims she had been looking after him so well. Also, I felt he was too cowardly to support me over Vivian. Liam is smart. He knows that if he speaks the truth now, he’ll offend Vivian, and he’s worried she’ll treat him badly in the future. After all, his day-to-day care was in her hands.He’s trying to get me on side while also supporting Vivian. He and Adrian are truly father and son — they even behave in exactly the same way, which I find disgusting. But at the same time, it saddened me.However, the slightest flicker of emotion I was feel

Evelyn’s perspective.Today Sophie was discharged from the hospital. I packed up her belongings, and around nine o’clock, Nicholas arrived.He said, “Evelyn, you are so often over looking after Sophie, why don’t you give up your apartment, you’re never there? You can keep using the guest room downstairs where you’ve been keeping a few belongings at our house.”That made sense, and my apartment lease was up for renewal. It was going to be more convenient actually living-in, it would make looking after Sophie much simpler.We left with Sophie, and on the way through the ward to the elevator, we passed by Liam’s room. I instinctively glanced inside.Adrian wasn’t there, but Vivian was with him. Liam didn’t look very happy, but I didn’t feel sorry for him.“Mom, the elevator’s here,” Sophie called out to me.I smiled at her. “Okay.” I turned away to get into the elevator with her and Nicholas.Suddenly, Liam's cries rang out, “Mom!”I stopped in my tracks. He had spotted me hesitating at

Evelyn’s perspectiveCharlotte was wearing an official ID badge.Does she work here too? But I distinctly remember Nicholas saying she was working for an overseas company.“What’s the matter? Don’t you recognize me?” Her attitude was unpleasant, and her tone was mocking.I didn't like her arrogant demeanor, but out of respect for Nicholas, I didn't respond in kind.“Of course I recognize you, Charlotte,” I responded breezily. I managed to summon a warm smile that I didn’t feel. “How are you? Is there something I can help you with?”I tried to be polite, but she snorted disdainfully, her eyes filled with contempt. “Remember me? I’m not here for you. I just came to warn you not to get any ideas about my brother. You’re not worthy.”She was looking down on me. This time, I frowned. Warn me? Not worthy?Although there was some attraction between Nicholas and I, we hadn't crossed any lines, and our business collaboration was purely professional. Her attitude was a bit over the top.“I don’

Evelyn’s perspectiveJust as I was at a loss at what to do, my cell phone rang. Nicholas asked, “What's wrong, Evelyn? Are you feeling unwell?”And at the same time, Nate texted, ‘Evelyn, what’s delaying you? Is everything okay?’They both contacted me at the same time. I wanted to come up with an excuse to reply, but after thinking about it, I realized that asking for help was my only option.“I’m really sorry, but… I might need your help. Could you run to the supermarket and buy me some sanitary pads?” I asked Nicholas helplessly.But I didn’t reply to Nate’s text because in my current situation, I felt I was more comfortable discussing my problem with Nicholas. Talking to Nate about it would make me even more embarrassed.Nicholas immediately responded, “Sure, wait a moment.”Soon, I heard a woman calling my name. “Evelyn?” Someone was in the restroom.“Hello, I’m here.”“Hello, I work at the restaurant,” the waitress explained. “There’s a gentleman outside who asked me to bring yo
