Mu Chen sent me back to the residential area where I originally lived, and told me to pay attention to safety and call him if there was any troubles.
I went upstairs and lay on the sofa, feeling I was back to original point.
Marrying Leon did change my material life, but it also brought me unprecedented crisis and anxiety.
When you get something, you lose something.
I had to figure out what to do next.
I picked up my phone and started to read the news.
I hoped I could know the latest trends of Hua family from the news and then decided what to do.
It turned out that Leon was on a hot search as soon as I switched on my phone. He was photographed trying a wedding dress in a bridal shop with a woman, Nan Lin.
This was big news. In the past, there have rumors that Leon had lovers. Now, there was fact to back it up because they were going to get married.
I clicked on the picture and enlarged it. The woman was Nan Lin and that was not bad.
The hatred in my heart rose again.
While I was in trouble, he was trying wedding dress with Nan Lin. It’s a real throwaway and too much of a bully.
I was an ordinary person. The reason why Xiang Feng took so much effort to force me away was also because she felt that my presence would strengthen the power of Leon and pose a threat to Feng family, so she didn’t hesitate to betray me like that.
It could be said that the reason why I was in trouble was because Leon.
But he was trying wedding dress with another woman when I was missing. I couldn’t accept that he was in such a hurry.
If Leon married another woman, then I was out. And Xiang needn’t to distress me, because I wouldn’t threaten her at all. If so, what else did I have to worry about?
I wanted to tell Leon my thought. If he decided to marry Nan Lin, then I should have the custody of Alex.
I wanted to leave Hai City with Leon.
I went downstairs and took a taxi to Maple Villa.
When Sister Zhen opened the door and saw me, she screamed in shock, then turned around and walked inside, shouting while walking, “Sir, sir, Mrs. Hua is back.”
Alex ran out quickly. I walked toward him and hugged him tightly in my arms. Unexpectedly, he didn’t cry but asked me, “Mom, have you finished your business trip?”
This showed that Leon told him I was on a business trip in the past few days.
I certainly wouldn’t tell him that I almost couldn’t come back to see him.
Leon came out also, in a casual suit. He stood on the second floor, looking down at me.
The light was a bit dark, and the expression on his face was not clear. But he didn’t come down. He stood there and looked at me for a while, then turned back to his room.
I played with Alex for a while and took him to take a shower and change clothes. When I came out, it was dinner time.
I really hoped that Leon would ask me anxiously where I have been, but he didn’t. It seemed to him nothing has happened. He ate and talked to Alex in a normal way. He looked at me calmly, just as if I haven’t disappeared for a few days.
I was all the more sad.
After having finished the meal, Leon went back to the study to work.
I accompanied Alex and explained to him why I didn’t call him these days and why I didn’t go home. Of course, I made up all these reasons.
The child’s world is simple. I couldn’t let him see the dark side in such a young age.
After Alex slept, I came to Leon’s study.
I gently knocked on the door and after he said “Come in”, I pushed the door and went in.
When you know that one doesn’t care about you, you are fearless.
Because if a person doesn’t like you, begging would be nothing but humiliation.
Love is the mutual attraction and appreciation, not the charity of the strong to the weak.
If it is charity, both the charity giver and the charity receiver will get bored, and sooner or later the relationship will end in tragedy.
Leon raised his head. His face were still handsome and unparalleled under the light, but the coldness in his eyes made me hesitate to talk with him.
“Why don’t you ask where I have been these days?” I said. When I said this, I was really angry. Anyway, it was him who caused all this.
If it were not for him, it is impossible for me to know Xiang Feng, a rich lady in the upper class, let alone to be persecuted.
Though he didn’t like me, he should at least ask me about it.
“You have made it clear in that divorce application.” He said coldly.
According to the divorce agreement I copied, I did write very clearly, admitting that I have no feeling for him and I like Beiwen Su and want to leave.
“Haven’t you doubted that it might be fake?” I asked.
“Why should I doubt?” He asked coldly.
I sneered and said, “Yes, you don’t need to doubt. I take the initiative to leave and write a divorce application are what you desired, and it saves you a lot of time. So you can’t wait to try wedding dress with another women and ready to marry her.”
He narrowed his eyes and said, “That’s it.”
I felt I was going to blow up and my heart was getting colder.
In the days when I was kept in the temple, I missed him at night and wanted him to protect and care about me.
But that was just my unilateral thinking and it was not real.
“Then I have nothing to say. Anyway, I have written the divorce agreement, you just sign it.” I said coldly.
“Why you come back?” He asked.
“I come back to see Alex, can’t I?” I said
“You have seen him. Why not leave?” His voice was colder.
I didn’t know what to speak. I wanted to turn around and leave. Even if I had no place to go, I would not stay here.
But a few seconds later I changed my mind.
If I left, then my suffering was nothing. Why could he do whatever he like?
“Are we still couples now?” I asked.
“What do you want to say?” He said.
“If we are still couples, what right do you have to drive me away? If we are not couples, then I will take Alex away.” I said.
“No matter whether we are couple, you can’t take Alex away. He is my child. Why should you take him away? Where are you going? Yang City?” He said.
“Alex is mine. I raised him for three years. Have you even paid attention to him? Why do you want to take the child away as soon as you see him? Have you taught him talk and walk?” I said.
What I said seemed to have hit his nerve. He looked at me coldly, without saying anything.
