All Chapters of Lust for My Father-in-Law: The Plus-Size Secretary: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Nathaniel's POV.I stared at Sera who was asleep with Louis in her arms. Her face was pale, her eyes swollen, and even in her sleep, she looked restless. There was a crease between her eyebrows, like she was having a nightmare.I let out a long sigh, then walked out of the room carefully so as not to wake them. In the hallway, I leaned against the wall, closed my eyes, and tried to calm my mind that was spinning chaotically.Sera was getting stranger. These past few days, she didn't even want me to touch her. Every time I tried to get close, she pulled away. Every time I tried to hug her, she tensed, as if my touch hurt her. I knew this wasn't about her. I knew this was about hormones, about baby blues, about whatever was happening inside her body.But still, it felt like being stabbed.I knew this was my fault. Everything was my fault. I married my son's ex-wife. I fell in love with the woman who was supposed to be my daughter-in-law.I destroyed our family—my family, her family, and

Nathaniel's POV.I drove home. Adrian's words still echoed in my head, that I deserved to be happy.I took a long breath, trying to calm myself.But as soon as I entered the mansion's gate, I knew something was wrong.Sera's car was parked in front of the door, the engine still running. The front door was open, and several servants stood on the porch with panicked faces. I quickened my pace, my heart pounding fast."What happened?" I asked the nearest servant.She bowed her head, her hands trembling."Madam Sera, she packed her suitcase. She wants to leave."I ran into the mansion, past the hallways that were usually quiet, to our room. The door was open and there, Sera stood in front of the bed, with a large open suitcase beside her.She was putting clothes into it with quick movements."Sera," I said.Sera didn't turn. She kept putting clothes into the suitcase, her hands trembling. I could see tears flowing down her cheeks, but she didn't complain, didn't cry, just tears falling wi

I left the hospital three days later. My body was still weak, but I knew what decision I had to make.Father had prepared everything. The lawyer came to the hospital, bringing the necessary documents. I signed them with trembling hands.The divorce proceeded quickly. Too quickly, perhaps. Nathaniel wasn't present, he refused to be present. It was his lawyer who came, bringing a letter stating that he would not sign anything, that he would fight until the end but I had already decided and when a wife decides, nothing can stop her.The court granted the divorce on the grounds of irreconcilable differences. I didn't ask for anything, not property, not the house, not anything. I only asked for one thing: full custody of Louis.Nathaniel refused. He wanted joint custody. He wanted Louis to stay in London, close to him. He wanted to be part of his son's life.But I couldn't allow that. I couldn't let Louis grow up in this city full of painful memories.I couldn't let him grow up with Derek'

Sera's POVClass ended at four in the afternoon. I gathered my books and put them in my bag, then walked out of the campus building.The Boston air in autumn was cold, with orange and red leaves falling on the sidewalk. I took a long breath, enjoying the fresh air filling my lungs.It had been a year since I was here. A year since I left London, left Nathaniel, left all the painful memories and in that year, I managed to build a new lifeI continued my master's degree.Louis grew quickly. He could already walk, could already call me"Mom," could already make me smile even on the worst days.Father lived with me, as he promised. He took care of the house, took care of Louis when I was on campus. He took Louis to the park, read stories before bed, and occasionally cooked dinner that wasn't very delicious but full of love.We never talked about the past but sometimes, at night, when Louis was asleep and Father had gone to his room, I sat on the porch, staring at the stars, and I thought

Nathaniel's POV"Father?"I raised my head, wiping my tears with the back of my hand. Derek stood in the doorway, with a cane in his right hand, looking at me with eyes full of surprise."Derek, what are you doing here?"He stepped in carefully, his cane tapping the wooden floor with a slow rhythm. He stopped beside the rocking chair, looking at me for a long time."I thought you were already asleep but when I saw the light in this room was on, I..."He didn't finish his sentence. He just stood there, looking at me with glistening eyes.I bowed my head, wiping the remaining tears on my cheeks."I'm fine.""You're not fine." Derek sat in the chair beside me, the chair Sera used to use when she breastfed Louis. He placed his cane on the floor, then looked at me. "You're crying."I didn't answer."Because of Sera, right?" he asked.I raised my head, looking at him."How do you know?""I know because I've felt it too. Losing someone you love. Feeling like this world is over."I looked at
