Who!
Elena Bush jolted and immediately sprang out of bed and looked warily in the direction of the bedroom door!
“Elena?”
The man at the door of the room followed suit, obviously startled too.
“Snap!” Elena Bush held the remote control for the room’s lights and stared deadly at the man at the door.
“What are you doing here?” She snarled, her face hardening at his presence.
Edward Ford stood frozen in his place in the doorway, a flash of embarrassment under his eyes, both of which were perfectly concealed by him.
His face was showing signs of age, and he tugged at Elena Bush and said, “Don’t be afraid, I’m just worried that you’re not sleeping well so I’m just checking on you.”
“Why do you have the key to my room?” Elena Bush glared at him.
Edward Ford looked down at the key in his hand and then smiled, “This is my house, it’s easier for me to get a copy of the key than you think.”
“But this is my personal space!” Elena Bush hugged the quilt tighter in her arms and suppressed the tremble in her words, “Mr Ford, even if this is your home, you let me stay here, this is my place, and as a polite man, shouldn’t you knock first when you enter a woman’s room?”
“I knocked.”
Edward Ford said matter-of-factly, “I just didn’t hear a sound and thought something was wrong with you, that’s why I ……”
“Lies!” She dismissed his words outright without even thinking about it.
Elena Bush looked at him as if he were an enemy, “Edward Ford, what exactly are you trying to do?”
Her eyes scanned the clock on the side table, the hour hand was already pointing to three o’clock.
What could he want with her at three in the morning?
Edward Ford seemed to realise something was wrong too, and a slight look of guilt appeared on his face, “I really just wanted to see you, Elena, I’m not going to hurt you.”
“Heh, but you already did!” She sneered.
Edward Ford’s smile froze on his face and after some thought he said, “Elena, even if this is your room, I’m your father, why can’t I see you if I’m worried about you and can’t let go of you?”
Elena Bush smiled and shook her head, “If it was an ordinary person, I would naturally believe it, but that person if it was you instead ……”
She didn’t finish her sentence specifically, but the second half of that sentence, even without saying it, could not have been clearer to either side.
“Elena.”
The middle-aged man’s face was written with embarrassment, “You misunderstood me, I heard during the day that you were not well because you were angry and that’s why I wanted to see you!”” He raised his hand to hide the pain that filled his eyes, “Is it because I did something I shouldn’t have done that you can dismiss all my concern for you as well?”
“I don’t need your concern!”
Elena Bush said coldly, raising her hand and pointing it in the direction of the door, “Now, immediately, get out of my room!”
Edward Ford said, afraid that she would hurt herself again, “Yes, I’ll leave now, you take care of yourself.”
“For the sake of the baby, I will!”
After all, that was what she had paid for with a divorce settlement!
Edward Ford quickly disappeared into the room and Elena Bush quickly got up and locked the door, not forgetting to drag her bulky body and pull all the tables and chairs aside against the back of the door.
Only when everything was in order did she slide helplessly to the floor against the table.
Edward Ford’s presence makes her more wary.
The Ford, after all, could not stay long ……
The following day, the man Edward Ford was looking for appeared unexpectedly and blatantly in front of him.
Edward Ford sat in his office in the Ford Group’s office building, his eyes locked on the man in front of him, “Logan Brown, you’re finally holding out!”
Logan Brown laughed, “You had the divorce papers given to me specifically, and if I don’t do something about it, I don’t know what Mr. Ford’s next delivery …… is going to be.”
“Since you have the self-awareness, you should have signed it immediately, Elena has promised me that she will stay well with the Ford, and the child, later on, will take the Ford’s surname.” Edward Ford tried his best to suppress the uneasiness in his heart and said calmly.
Logan Brown narrowed his eyes, “Edward Ford, I don’t care what you’ve used to threaten Elena, but I will not sign this agreement in my eyes, even if it has her name on it!”
With that, the agreement that Edward Ford had produced was quickly torn to shreds!
The pieces were scattered all over the floor, and the man slowly sat down on a sofa with a calm …… face
Edward Ford swept the pieces of paper on the floor, “You think that tearing up the agreement is going to help? That’s just a copy, I have plenty of originals, if I tear up one, I have a second!”
“What about the second copy?” Logan Brown looked at him coldly, “As long as I don’t sign it, do you think you can unilaterally validate that agreement?”
“Even so, you can’t see her, I have her, what can you do?”
Edward Ford sneered, as if mocking his incompetence.
Logan Brown smiled and said steadily, “What would it take for you to be willing to give her back to me?”
“Give it back?”
Edward Ford laughed harshly, “Logan Brown, don’t you think you’re talking out of your ass with that one? She’s my daughter, what’s wrong with her staying at the Ford?”
“It’s not your daughter! It’s my rightful wife!”
“Nonsense!” Edward Ford snorted, “Even if you don’t admit it, the paternity test clearly states our relationship and that’s not something you can just deny!”
Logan Brown tightened his fists wordlessly, his brow furrowed.
Edward Ford sighed and softened his tone, “Logan Brown, to put it mildly, Elena has given up on you and there’s nothing you can do about it. Why don’t you just go back to your H City and make the best of your KL?”
Logan Brown looked at him coldly, without a hint of warmth in his eyes.
“So, you’re going to keep taking my wife and kids for yourself?”
Edward Ford’s forehead was bruised and his face was stinging, “I told you! She’s my daughter! She has also signed the divorce papers, so there has been no relationship between you for a long time, everything is just your own refusal to admit it!”
