Semua Bab Dear Ex-Husband, I'm Only Here to Save Your Son: Bab 121 - Bab 130

“Michael’s here?!” Connor growled “What does that bastard think he’s doing, coming near my house again?! Does he think he can just let time pass and suddenly be welcome back? Thompson, throw him out! And this time, don’t be nice…”“Calm down.” Charlie pleaded, her voice sounding a little annoyed, but I understood the reason when she continued “Listen, if I could choose, he wouldn’t get anywhere near Eden either, especially not right now. But if we really want to find out and he’s responsible for all this, then we need to set a trap. It’s easier to attract flies with honey than with vinegar, you know.” Charlie shook her head “I know it’s going to be challenging, but let him in. Let’s just let him know about part of what we’ve discovered. Study his reaction. If he really has something to do with it, just the mere mention of Ruth’s letter will make him move, and that’s exactly what I want. I already have someone monitoring him. We just need to give him a reason to panic and make a mista

“Didn’t you hear me?” Jane growled again behind me, making me sigh softly “This is all your fault! You tried for years to destroy the Mycroft family and you finally succeeded!”“You should leave with your Michael, Jane. Or with your mother. God knows it would do you a world of good to listen to some of her advice. Maybe then you’d realize that the only woman trying to meddle in a situation that doesn’t concern you is you.” I grumbled, walking towards the door before she decided to turn her complaints into something bigger.But unfortunately, it was already too late.“Do you think that just because you got pregnant with Connor again that makes you worthy of being the new Mrs. Mycroft?!” she growled, stomping as she followed me “Do you really think you can compare to Ruth? To Michael’s mother? To all the refined and well-born women who came before them?”“I couldn’t care less about the Mycroft family tree, Jane.” I growled, beginning to lose what little patience I had left “And believe

“Oh, Dad…” unable to contain myself, I impulsively threw myself into his arms and, thankfully, he didn’t hesitate to embrace me. “I… I’m so sorry… I was so scared when I realized you had lost your memories again and didn’t know how to tell me…”“It’s okay, little bee. You have nothing to apologize for.” He kissed my temple, his voice drawn out, defeated. “There’s no way to make this any less bad. Believe me, I speak from experience.”“I so wish there was a way to stop you from feeling this way…” I swallowed hard “I… I was afraid you’d get worse if I told you at the hospital, and then I was afraid of what your reaction would be if I took you straight to the apartment…”“You did the right thing. I probably wouldn’t be doing very well. I still remember, like it was yesterday, the day I saw that news report on television and I remembered everything…” he murmured. “It’s the second time I’ve realized that your mother is gone… That I’ll never be able to hold my little girl in my arms again be

My stomach churned terribly when Connor’s driver finally parked his car in front of the enormous gate of George’s property. I hadn’t been there since I was a child, and Connor had insisted so much that I could go there to play with him and Jane. I remembered the place being huge, but now it seemed something more. Too gigantic, too opulent. Like an endless reminder that whoever lived there felt superior to the rest of the world and needed to demonstrate it, even within their walls.“You’re pale.” Connor’s murmur snapped me out of my thoughts “Stay in the car. I’ll do this as quickly as possible and…”“We have a deal.” I reminded him, rubbing my hands on my pants to try and warm them, since my blood seemed to have turned to ice “Either we both go in together or nobody goes in. Besides, if Stefana was worried about being caught by her ex-husband, there’s a possibility she’s in there. I need to find her and know if she’s safe…”“Eden…” he began to complain, but soon fell silent when some

“Come on, honey. We don’t have all day.” George’s voice spoke, before a pair of rough hands, probably belonging to his henchmen, pushed my back forward, almost making me fall to my knees.George had brought us back to his mansion, more specifically to one of his dining rooms. I had no idea what he intended by keeping us inside his own property while we were kidnapped, but frankly, I was trying very hard not to panic. Mr. Thompson and Connor’s driver had been taken to God knows where, and the two of us were there, with our hands tied behind our backs and several guns pointed at us.“Don’t touch her, you fucker!” I heard Connor growl, and the next instant he was thrown to the ground right next to me, several bruises beginning to form on his face.“Connor!” I gasped, leaning over him and struggling against the rope that was tightening around my wrists, but I had no result other than cutting my skin a little.“You know, I’ve always hated how much you look like your father, kid.” George si
