Laina Miller saw me backing away.She burst out laughing.“Come on, stop pretending! I know you’re so excited that you’re close to tears.“I’m back now, so stop playing hard to get. As long as you take good care of Raivo and me, your title as my husband is secure. It’s not going anywhere.”Hearing that, I almost laughed out loud in sheer frustration.I wiped away my tears, then calmly retorted with a sneer.“Laina, what makes you think I can’t live without you?”The woman rolled her eyes again. She looked at me as if I were an idiot.“We were engaged when we were twenty. You’ve been part of the Miller family for a long time now, and you even took care of my child for several years. If you don’t stay with me, where else will you go?”Hearing that, I felt relieved.Thank goodness I had ended whatever I felt for her and married someone else instead.A few years ago, when we parted ways at the airport, she clung to me and swore, “Noah, wait for me for five months. I’ll definitel

At that time, Trisha Miller was leading a prayer with the Miller family. As soon as I got out of the car, I sent someone there to notify her. Then, I rushed into the infirmary with Sweeny in my arms.Sweeny had woken up at some point.His little hand was clutching the hem of my shirt tightly. Even then, he tried to comfort me.“It doesn’t hurt, Daddy. Don’t cry…”The more he tried to comfort me, the guiltier I felt.If I had not taken him to the Miller family house today, we would not have met those two lunatics.“Sir, please don’t panic. Master Sweeny… God will look after him.”The doctor was so frightened by Sweeny’s weak breathing that his voice trembled.Just as I placed the child in the medical pod, the infirmary door was kicked open.Laina stormed in with a group of bodyguards. She had her arms around Raivo.When she saw me, a smug look of satisfaction flashed across her face.She said contemptuously, “You said you didn’t care, but here you are in the old mansion! Ho

Third-Person POVLaina’s face suddenly changed.Before she could react, she was kicked away.When she finally snapped back to the present, her ninth aunt, Trisha, had pulled the blood-soaked Noah into her arms. She had never shown any interest in any other man. She also served as the head of the Miller family. She glared daggers at Laina.Laina hurriedly pulled Raivo, who looked terrified, to her side. Together, they bowed their heads in apology.“Aunt Trisha, I-I just returned from abroad today.“W-Why are you interfering in my affairs the moment I walk in the door?”Resentment lingered in Laina’s words. She was very afraid and resentful of Trisha.The previous head of the Miller family had nine daughters. They all competed for power. Trisha was one of them. She was an illegitimate child, so she was not even allowed to be seen in public. They had just brought her back from abroad.She had no foundations here, no power, and could not even understand English very well.But in

She ignored the three people before her and merely waved her hand indifferently.“Take them away! Remember to keep it down. Noah and Sweeny need to rest.”“Yes, ma’am!”The bodyguards rushed forward and tried to escort Laina and Raivo away.Raivo’s outburst at that point was very unexpected. It was not clear whether he was simply stupid or was jealous, but he lost all rationality.He let out a cold laugh. “Ha! So the famed head of the Miller family is nothing but a fool! What’s so great about that Noah? He’s just a pair of worn-out pre-loved shoes that Laina left behind. Is he really worth being treated as a precious treasure?”A collective gasp rippled through the room.The atmosphere in the hall instantly turned cold.Raivo was oblivious to it all. He snarled and sneered as he hurled insult after insult.“Everyone says you’re a genius with impeccable judgment, but in my eyes, you’re just a dumb woman who’s been duped by a cunning man!”Trisha did not get angry at Raivo’s

Since I said nothing, Trisha called out to me tentatively, “Noah, do you blame me?”She then hung her head and sighed, as if she was really sad. “It’s only right for you to blame me, but I swear that such a thing won’t happen again. It’s my fault this time, so you can punish me however you want!”Who would have thought that the fearsome and ruthless Trisha was a witch in sheep’s clothing who fought for affection at home?Laina might never find out the reason she was suddenly sent to another country to develop a new market. It was all Trisha’s idea. She only told me after I married her. Apparently, she had liked me for a long time, but I was engaged to Laina, and she could not do anything about it.Who would have thought that Laina would decide to ruin things for herself and cheat on me with Raivo?So, Trisha decided to do Laina a favor and send her overseas. To everyone’s surprise, Laina was stupid enough to bring Raivo back. After giving birth to her baby, she had someone b
