Semua Bab I Bury My Mother, He Buries Himself in My Wife: Bab 1 - Bab 9

Vivian was stumped. Her red lips parted and closed as she struggled to find her voice. It probably never crossed her mind that I was well aware of every single detail of her affair.Humiliated, she snapped, "It was just a momentary lapse in judgment! What else was I supposed to do after I got pregnant? Do you honestly have the heart to deny a baby its mother? "Sebastian Kingsley, after having a child, I remained married to you, so you should be grateful! Why do you have to be so vindictive and ruin Noah's entire life?"Her sheer audacity actually made me laugh out loud. Back when we were pursuing our doctorates together, I was the one who handed my own research findings over to her on a silver platter and made her famous overnight. Later on, I was the one who stayed in her shadow, slaving away in the lab to publish paper after paper in top journals for her. Yet now, I was the malicious one. I slowly rose to my feet and asked coldly, "Oh, so that's what you're calling it? A mome

Vivian was betting on the fact that after the massive blow her family dealt me, I'd be too terrified to utter a single sound. When I didn't budge, she scowled, and her voice became icy. "What are you waiting for, Sebastian? Go make Nate some supper while you're at it!"Lounging on the couch, I looked at her calmly. "I'm not your dog. Why should I listen to you?" Vivian stiffened. Clearly, she hadn't expected me to be completely unfazed by the carrot or the stick.Noah, who was behind her, held Nathan's hand, putting on a pitiful act. "Forget it, Vivi. Nate and I should just stay at a hotel. Dr. Kingsley clearly doesn't welcome us, and I don't want to scare Nate further."Right on cue, Nathan burst into tears and wailed, "Mommy, I'm scared..." The father and son looked as if they had suffered some terrible injustice. I jeered. "If you know you're not welcome, yet you still followed her back, are you just begging to be humiliated? Noah, you recovered from slitting your wrists so

Frida guffawed. "You're really pulling the rug out from under them, aren't you, Mr. Kingsley? I love it! By the way, your dad… does he know you're playing for keeps now?""He does. He already has our legal team on standby. The moment the Carters' stock prices plummet, he'll join forces with the other shareholders to acquire their shares."After wrapping up the call, I tucked the blue folder into my briefcase. I had just gotten to my feet when the front door opened, and Vivian walked in with Noah and Nathan.Noah walked in, laden down with over a dozen luxury shopping bags, while Nathan hid timidly behind Vivian. "Mommy, why does that uncle look just like a dog?"Vivian froze for a moment. Then, her face darkened as she pulled Nathan further behind her and snapped, "Zip it, Nate!"Nathan, however, clearly didn't understand what he had done wrong. In fact, he lifted his little face and pointed at the paint stains on my body that hadn't been completely washed off. "But he's so dirty,

Frida chose a window seat and ordered a whole spread of my favorite food. Spearing a piece of steak with her silver fork, she sliced it methodically. Her eyes, however, drifted toward the window as she gloated, "Look at that guy in the suit. Isn't that the Carters' CFO? At the last industry summit, he was bragging to me about how Carter Pharmaceuticals makes medicine with a conscience. Now, he's eating his own words."Ignoring the commotion outside, I merely raised my glass of lemon water to my lips for a sip. Frida slid the sliced steak over to me before arching her brow. "What, do you not have an appetite? Or do you think I was being too petty by choosing this spot?" "Neither." I shook my head and picked up my fork. "I just feel like it's time for this whole farce to end."As soon as my words fell, my phone rang. I answered it, and a solemn voice came through the line. "Dr. Kingsley, the investigation into Noah's academic misconduct has concluded. The evidence is irrefutable. T
