Lahat ng Kabanata ng She Returned with Genius Babies, He Regretted: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

Elena’s POVMy head is still reeling. Even though I’ve already left the hospital, it feels like a part of me is left there. Honestly, at this rate, I should probably just come back because my body seems to be withering.“It’s not your fault,” Uncle Marcus assures me as he pulls out of the parking lot. “It’s not like you knew about Grace and Van Asten. Even if you did, the decision wasn’t ultimately yours. Alexander is in charge of the company, and he must’ve had a good reason—”“Alexander has been incredibly nice, yes,” I admit. “But we have to be rational here. He’s not the most… logical or stable person out there. He could’ve had a shallow, irrational reason to do that to Grace.”He stays silent for a moment. “Well, there’s only one way to find out. I’m going to take you to his apartment, and you can talk.”I want to ask why and how he knew where Alexander lives, but I don’t have the time or the energy for that. I just stay quiet as he makes a turn and brings me to an apartment buil

Tristan’s POV“Everything’s working according to plan. Elena fell for my trap, and now she offered me a full-time position to work for her in her collaboration with Van Asten.”“Amazing!” Mira says, clapping hard, the sound echoing in my empty office.I can’t bring myself to join her. I suppose I should be happy that someone wants to take revenge on Elena and Alexander who’s also fully on our side, but the more I look at Grace, the worse I feel about this whole plan.She used to be so close to Elena. They were practically sisters. Elena barely went out when we were married. Her usual spots were just grocery stores and meat shops. But if she’s going somewhere that’s not those two places, Grace was with her. They stopped talking a couple of years into our marriage, but I knew that Grace was the one who helped Elena hide when I was looking for her.It’s just strange that Grace is now rubbing shoulders with Mira.“So it’s all set,” Mira says happily. “All you have to do is take the job an

Tristan’s POVProtectiveness surges in my body like lightning.I rush up the stairs, and I don’t know what hit me, as I’m always very aware not to lay a hand on Ethan even just to guide him somewhere, but I find myself pushing him off Sophie.Hard.Ethan flies back, releasing Sophie instantly. The little boy lands on his back, his dark eyes wide and wild, like he never expected this to happen. I can’t say I blame him—I never meant to do it either. Sophie’s eyes keep flitting back and forth between Ethan and me, like she can’t fully comprehend what’s going on.My heart is sinking. I don’t know who to rush to first. Sophie has scratches on her neck. Ethan is down on the floor. Luckily no one is around….I swallow hard, rushing over to Sophie at last.“Are you okay?” I ask, and when she runs to my arms, it just feels so natural. “What did he do to you? Are you hurt?”Sophie just shakes her head, her eyes shining with tears. As I kneel in front of her to check on her injuries, she just ho

Elena’s POVLiam’s expression darkens. He glances at the laptop and back to me, biting his lip. I wait in anticipation, hoping that he will say yes. Hoping that at his young age and the stage he’s in during his learning, he would be able to do something like this for me.“Why do you want me to do it?” Liam asks, holding my gaze. “Uncle Alex told you not to meddle in his business anymore, right?”“Yeah.” My face heats up. It sure does feel weird to negotiate with your son like this, but it’s too late for me to stop now.I just need to know.I can’t stop here and never find out what happened to the jewelry department.“Please?” I ask. “I know you might be able to. You’re the only one who can. Mommy just needs to know what happened, then I will let it rest. I promise.”Silence. Liam doesn’t say anything for a while. He just stares at his computer.“You can do it, right?” I ask. “I know Alexander must’ve given you access.” I smack my forehead. “But God, what am I thinking? You’re still so

Elena’s POVThe ride to the school is tense. Anxiety is already running through my veins even before getting into the car, but knowing that Sophie is also clearly in distress is just making it all worse.To me, at this moment, it seems that the universe is telling me that I’m messing up left and right with my kids.We had no issues like this before. My kids were happy and healthy and constantly performing well. They never threw a tantrum, never showed bad attitude. They were always polite and well-behaved, to the point where Grandpa Harold told me that they were more adult than he was.“I didn’t behave like that until I turned sixty,” he would always say.And I was proud of that. I was happy. I was honored to have been blessed by children who were so good that I never had to pause my working life and give them less quality time in result. We were all happy.Until we got to New York.Now everything is complicated.Liam isn’t talking to me, which I know is my fault. And Sophie locked he
