All Chapters of A Foolish Husband's Mistake: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"She's the same age as Gracie, so why is Lily so much smaller and thinner? Bella, is this how you raise our kid?"You ran away from home while I was overseas, and now you've turned my little princess into someone who looks like she crawled out of a slum. You're dressed in rags yourself. What's this—waiting here on purpose to admit your mistakes and beg me to take you back?"Instinctively, I shielded my son behind me. It was only then that I realized the guy was Logan. And he was holding the hand of a little girl with a look of utter tenderness.The girl was about Lily's age. But my Lily… had long been gone.A sting rose in my nose as my gaze shifted to the woman beside him—flawless makeup, couture from head to toe. She was Joann, Logan's childhood sweetheart.Her familiar smile pulled me back to the days when I had first started pursuing Logan.Back then, everyone said he was untouchable and indifferent to women. My confessions were rejected again and again.But I was stubborn.

But I was no longer that foolish girl who once revolved my world around Logan. I'd found someone who truly loves me.Not wanting to see them another second, I dialed my favorite contact."Hi, honey. I'm tired of shopping. Please have the driver pick us up."Logan frowned, his gaze sweeping over me from head to toe."You have a driver? These days, anyone who calls a ride thinks they can call it a driver?"I glanced toward the familiar luxury car parked outside."My ride's here."I pressed the remote and the headlights blinked on. His eyes narrowed, his voice dripping with disdain."Didn't think you'd still be so vain. Back then, you clung to me like your life depended on it. Now you're nothing but a used woman, still dreaming of marrying into money. I'm not getting back together with a gold-digger like you. But Lily is my child, so I'm taking her."He reached for my son again. My son's face stayed cool as he stepped behind me."Mom, I don't want to go with this strange guy."

The host approached Nick with an obsequious smile. "Mr. Shenton, right this way, please."Recalling the voice he'd heard earlier, Nick's expression darkened with faint impatience. He glanced around. "Where's my wife? She came here two hours ago with my son.""Was it to private room 888? I didn't see your wife enter just now."Before he could press further, Logan came running over, sweat beading on his forehead. "Mr. Shenton, it's an honor to finally meet you. About that project proposal I sent over earlier, do you think we might work together? The Rice Group is the largest enterprise in Aster City. We could form a powerful alliance."Nick lifted his gaze ever so slightly, and Logan's expression instantly froze.The child standing beside Bella bore an uncanny resemblance to Mr. Shenton. Could it be that Bella had betrayed him all those years ago, and Lily was actually Nick's son?"Mr. Shenton," Logan said abruptly, "I heard you were bringing your wife and child today. We've prepar

After searching the kitchen for a while, Nick spotted a small side door. His heartbeat quickened.Pushing it open, he was met with the sight of a massive freezer in the center of the room. Inside, Caleb and I were crammed among piles of vegetables, both of us long unconscious.Logan arrived moments later, his face draining of color at the scene."M-Mr. Shenton, what's going on here?"Nick swung open the freezer door, his movements gentle as he lifted my son and me out. He brushed away the wilted vegetable leaves clinging to our bodies.Seeing Nick's tenderness, Logan trembled. How could what Bella said possibly be true? A woman he had always considered beneath him—used goods—how could she truly be the wife of Mr. Shenton?"Mr. Shenton, perhaps you're mistaken. That's my wife and daughter.""Your daughter? Who do you think you are?" Nick's gaze hardened, and with a subtle signal, his men descended on Logan, beating him until his screams filled the air.Ignoring him, Nick took m

"And you dare speak Lily's name to me?" I spat, my voice dripping with venom. "You, Joann, and Gracie—you all owe Lily your lives! The only way you could ever atone for her death is by joining her in the grave!"Logan's hands shook violently as he scrambled to collect the fallen photographs.He saw my poor Lily in the hospital bed, eyes wide open even in death from the agony she had endured. He saw her drained of all color, her small body mottled with bruises. He saw her reduced to a handful of ashes, which I buried in my hometown.Nick's voice cut through the tension like arctic wind, "Effective immediately, the Shenton Group severs all ties with Rice Group ventures. What kind of businessman partners with a child-killer who wallows in moral sewage?"With those words, I watched the last flicker of hope die in Logan's eyes. He'd come crawling to Nick because his failing company desperately needed Shenton Group's capital to stay afloat. Now not only was that lifeline gone, but any fi
