Semua Bab The Widower I Never Meant to Be: Bab 1 - Bab 9

Sarah touched Luke's tiny face, seemingly kind, but then, she pried his fingers off her one by one."Luke, be a good boy. Your father can celebrate it with you."I picked up the wedding ring and looked at her, suppressing the anger in my tone. "Stella, before Sarah passed away, she promised she would spend one birthday with Luke. Couldn't you just pretend to fulfil your sister's wish, or pretend to show some pity for him by pretending to be his mother, just for his fifth birthday?"My brother-in-law, Greg, appeared at this moment and said hostilely, "Michael, I'm sorry that your wife passed away. I'm also sorry that Luke has lost his mother, but you can't just steal my wife in front of Nina and me."Sarah furrowed her brows as if about to turn me down. However, when I met with those indifferent eyes, she looked away shiftily. She was also taken aback when her eyes landed on the wedding ring.She pursed her lips and said, "Honey, Michael is just looking out for his child. Luke is a

The tense atmosphere hung thick in the air.I was only looking at Sarah, but she did not dare look back, nor did she dare to admit her real identity. She was behaving very…shiftily.Suddenly, the clock rang midnight.Luke wiped away his tears and said to Sarah, "It's fine. It's really nothing. Thank you, Aunt Stella. Even though the cake is destroyed, I can still make a wish."I wish that Aunt Stella can live the life that she wants. I wish her all the happiness. I also wish my Daddy happiness."I lowered my head in disbelief. Luke had always known that Sarah was his mother. Even if she had faked her death and pretended to be Stella, he had always called her 'Mommy'.This was the first time he called her Aunt Stella."Luke…" Sarah looked at her son in disbelief, as if trying to find an answer in his gaze. She had fantasized countless times about what her life would be like if she had married Greg instead of me, instead of having Luke. How great that would be.However, when her

Christine said in a low voice, "Michael Sanders, will you marry me?"I was in complete shock at how far Christine was willing to go to put on an act. I nodded in compliance. "Yes, I do."She bent down and asked Luke, "Luke, will you let me be your new Mommy?"Luke stared down at his toes and asked, "Will we celebrate my birthday together?""That's for sure. We'll celebrate every birthday you have with you and your Daddy," replied Christine tenderly.The marriage proposal went extremely smoothly. Looking at the gown and tuxedo Christine had prepared, even the custom-made rings, I could not help but ask her, "Christine, you're really going all out on this act."She looked at me seriously and said, "I'm being serious, Michael. Will you give me a chance, please?"I blushed.…Our wedding was on a bright, sunny day.We were two business titans joining hands in marriage, yet we did not inform any media. We chose to have a low-profile wedding.I helped Christine into the car with m

I ignored Sarah. Instead, I looked right at Greg."How did Stella die? Do you really not know?"Greg lowered his head, somewhat flustered as he stuttered, "W-why are you asking me all this? A-are you suspecting me of my wife's death? It's one thing to try to come after our company, but now you're also trying to wrongfully accuse me?"Your wife chose to stay by my side, so you got jealous and now hate me. Now you're trying to frame me? Is that it?"Sarah stood up for Greg and snapped, "Michael, this is all my fault. Greg was grieving the hardest when Stella died. How could you make such a terrible joke?"I threw the documents I received a few days ago on the desk."I've realized it before, actually. On my wedding day, when Sarah said that Luke was her only son, Greg's expression was extremely odd. He wasn't surprised or shocked, so I got someone to look into him. I found some interesting stuff."The day that Stella died was the day she caught Greg having an affair. There was even
