My breath hitched when Phupha ordered Nong Time to be taken away. His face was contorted with a rage I had never seen before in my life."No, Phupha! What are you going to do to my son!" I screamed, my voice hoarse with fear. I clutched Nong Time tightly, as if my life depended on him, trying to shield my son from everyone's grasp.My father, standing there, collapsed to the floor in shock, his face ashen as if all blood had drained from it. "Linin, is it true? Is Nong Time really my grandson!"I turned to look at my father with pain, tears streaming down my cheeks. "Father... I'm sorry." I wanted to explain everything, but the words were stuck in my throat.Phupha's two men approached, attempting to pry Nong Time from my embrace."Don't touch my son!" I shrieked, using all my strength to protect Nong Time.Phupha stepped in front of me, his face utterly cold and merciless. "You've been deceiving me all this time, Linin! It's time for you to pay!"His words were like a knife slicing t

The moment Khun Thanakorn stepped into the living room, all eyes fixated on the three of us: Phupha, Thanakorn, and myself. The atmosphere was so tense I could barely breathe.Khun Thanakorn walked up to me, his face a mix of emotions: shock, confusion, and disappointment."Linin... what is all this about?" Khun Thanakorn asked, his voice filled with frustration.I looked at him, tears streaming down my face. I didn't know what to tell him. The truth was too painful to utter.Phupha, standing beside me, spoke in a calm voice, yet laced with an unspoken meaning. "Khun Thanakorn... as you know, Linin is now married to me. She is my wife, completely."Phupha's words made Khun Thanakorn's eyes widen in shock again. A hint of deep disappointment was in his gaze."Wife, you say..." Khun Thanakorn murmured to himself. "So, you really got married."I nodded slowly, saying nothing further."And that child..." Khun Thanakorn turned to look at the man holding Nong Time, his eyes filled with susp

After Phupha and Nong Time left, the living room fell silent once more. This soundless quiet was more painful than any noise. I collapsed to the floor, sobbing uncontrollably, my body shaking. Feelings of guilt, anger, despair, and the pain of losing my son overwhelmed me until I could barely bear it.Khun Thanakorn remained on the floor as well. He looked up at me, his eyes filled with tears and remorse. He tried to reach out to me but stopped short."Linin... I'm sorry," Khun Thanakorn said hoarsely. "I never knew something like this was happening. If I had known, I would have taken responsibility."I looked at him with an empty gaze. "Why apologize... when everything is already ruined? You chose to abandon me.""I... I will take responsibility for everything," Khun Thanakorn tried to say. "I will take care of the child... Nong Time."His words only amplified my pain. I knew he would probably try his best, but it was too late now."You have no right to Nong Time anymore," I replied

I hugged Nong Time tightly, letting my tears stream onto his small head of hair. I didn't care about Phupha's gaze still lingering there , nor the pain that flooded over me. I just wanted to hold my son for as long as I possibly could."Nong Time... it's okay, my child. Mommy's here," I whispered in his ear, trying to comfort both him and myself.Nong Time looked up at me, his small eyes welling with tears. "Mommy... Nong Time is scared.""It's okay, my child. Mommy will be right here with you," I gently kissed his small forehead.Phupha stood watching us from a distance, his face complex. His eyes held anger, pain, and something I couldn't understand."You probably want to rest," Phupha said in a calm voice. "This is the children's room. You can sleep with the child."His words surprised me slightly. At least he still allowed me to be with my son.I nodded slightly, saying nothing further. I took Nong Time to the small bed prepared for him, settled him down, and tucked him in."Mommy

Phupha's words, 'You've been deceiving me all this time! You hid this truth from me! You caused me so much pain!' still echoed in my ears. I collapsed to the floor, sobbing uncontrollably, my body shaking. The truth revealed on that paper had crushed my heart into pieces.Phupha looked at me with eyes full of pain, anger, and the deepest disappointment. He stepped forward and grabbed my arm, pulling me up. His face was red with fury."Linin! Answer me now! Why! Why did you do this to me!" His voice was harsh and trembling. "Do you know what I've been through since you disappeared! Do you know how much pain I've felt! And you still dared to hide my son... my son from me!"I looked up at him, tears streaming down my face. "I'm sorry, Phupha... I didn't mean to... I just...""Just had no choice, is that it!" he yelled into my face. "Your choice was to let me misunderstand all this time! Your choice was to hide the truth from me! Your choice was to make me feel like a fool all along!"He
