The Dreams Have Burned To Ashes
After we got engaged, my fiancee sent a child from abroad.
She also sent an email along with it.
[Noah, I was so bored overseas that I accidentally had a baby with Raivo Fallon. Since you’ve always been so eager to suck up to me, I’ll leave this child in your care. You can get some practice ahead of time so you’ll be ready to be our caregiver when I return home to Abrein.]
Without a word, I handed the child over to the butler.
Seven years later, all the CEOs stationed overseas returned to Abrein for their performance reviews.
Laina Miller drove up in a Raypach, leading a large entourage that blocked me at the entrance to the Miller family residence.
She held a cigarette between her lips, tilted her head, and took off her sunglasses.
“Did you miss me that much? Did you wait here at the gate just for me?
“Just so you know, for the sake of the child’s registration papers, Raivo and I got married overseas. From now on, you two will be brothers. You’ll share everything.
“The Miller and Lewis families are now related by marriage. You don’t care about just a small piece of paper, do you?”
After that, she blew several smoke rings in my direction. They choked me until tears streamed down my face.
I wiped my tears away and hurriedly backed away.
My child’s mother was the pettiest person I ever knew. She had warned me long ago to keep my distance from other younger female relatives.
If she found out her niece was harassing her husband, the Miller family would be in an uproar.
