All Chapters of No More Fighting for His Love: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Edith's POVMy husband, Benjamin Olsen, looked at me in disbelief. "Edith, are you seriously taking your anger out on your own son? He's only four! You need to know when to stop!"My son, Owen Olsen, looked stunned by my words for a moment. Then his little face flushed red, and he clung even tighter to Hailey Franklin's leg. "Fine! One million dollars it is! I don't want you as my mom anyway!"So, in his eyes, I was such a horrible mother, even though I woke up two hours early every day to prepare nutritious breakfasts for him. I had even passed up opportunities for promotion just to have more time to spend with him.Hailey hurried to play the peacemaker, putting on her usual act of kindness. "Owen, what have I taught you about being rude? You shouldn't talk to people like that."Owen pouted in protest. "She's rude too! The day before yesterday, when Dad was spending time with you, she kept calling him over and over to bother him!"Aunt Hailey, you also taught me that you should

"Give me back my bracelet!" I lunged at Hailey and tried to snatch the bracelet back.It was the only keepsake my mother had left me. I'd treasured it all these years, barely daring to touch it for fear of damaging it.And now Hailey had taken it too!Before I could reach her, Owen suddenly shoved me to the ground. He spread his arms and planted himself firmly in front of Hailey. "I gave it to her! Just tell me how much it costs. I'll transfer the money to you right now!"Owen raised the smartwatch I'd bought him and pretended to scan a payment code to send me the money.I was so shocked that I couldn't even feel the pain. As I stared at my own son, my hands and feet went numb. "Owen, what did you just say?"Owen repeated himself impatiently, "I asked how much it costs. You'll sell anything as long as someone pays you, won't you? Hurry up and name your price."I felt as though an invisible hand had suddenly gripped my heart so tightly that I couldn't breathe.Back when Owen was

Benjamin froze, nearly dropping his phone. His lips trembled as he asked, "What did you say? Edith has acute cardiomyopathy? How is that possible?"His ears rang, and he suddenly recalled the last time he'd seen Edith, when she'd completely lost control of herself.By the time he came to his senses, he'd already rushed to his car.…After running five red lights, Benjamin stumbled into the hospital. He snatched the computer from the reception desk and typed in Edith's name.The moment he saw the countless examination records on the screen, his legs gave way. He collapsed to the floor, utterly distraught."Edith... She really has cardiomyopathy?"He couldn't bear to imagine Edith spending the entire month he'd devoted to helping Hailey prepare for their wedding alone in the hospital, with no one by her side as she underwent treatment.She used to be so afraid of pain that even a routine blood draw terrified her. She'd always begged him to cover her eyes before she dared let the

Benjamin gripped Hailey's wrist so tightly that the veins in his temples bulged. "You even had to take Edith's engagement ring?! When did you ask her for it?"When we pretended to have a wedding, I bought you a 10-carat diamond ring. Wasn't that enough for you?! Do you even have a heart?"Hailey's face flushed red, and she burst into tears. "I didn't steal it! The last time I visited your house, the ring was sitting on the coffee table, covered in dust!"Edith must have decided she was too good for you and that your engagement ring was too cheap to wear in public, so she took it off and tossed it aside!"I know you had no money when you proposed to her. You spent more than half a year saving up just to buy that 3,000-dollar ring."I felt sorry for you. I couldn't bear to see such a sincere expression of your love gathering dust, so I put it on myself!"How could you say something like that about me? I'm heartbroken!"With that, Hailey ran out of the house in tears.Benjamin did

"Let's leave my name off the invitation for now. I want to see Benjamin's expression when he arrives at the wedding," I said.Benedict's smile deepened. He held out his hand to me. "I'm not disappointed in the person I saved. You certainly don't waste any time making decisions."I gently shook his hand. "It's a pleasure doing business with you."…On the day of the wedding, the venue was even more lavishly decorated than I'd imagined.Benedict had invited every prominent figure in the city, including many influential people Benjamin had worked so hard to curry favor with.After putting on my wedding dress, I stood before the mirror and stared at my reflection for a long time, barely able to believe what I was seeing."There's still time to change your mind." Benedict strolled up behind me and folded his arms across his chest. "You look beautiful. Benjamin's already here. Have you made up your mind?"I turned around and took his arm. "I've chosen to marry you. It has nothing to
