Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 229

"I love you too, Mommy."

Isabel had never asked why he was so fond of her.

At his age, regardless of what his parents did, he was bound to have some thoughts of his own.

But there was no need to ask anymore.

"You eat it yourself. From now on, let your daddy handle these things. His hands aren't afraid of getting pricked; yours need to be protected."

Julian clicked his tongue. "Are you calling me thick-skinned?"

Isabel smiled. "Some things are better left unsaid. We can still be good friends."

Click.

Across the table, Amanda raised her phone and took a picture of them.

"My friend, I'm so happy that you were able to cut your losses and find your own happiness."

It dawned on Isabel that while she had been envying Amanda, she had, without realizing it, found her own happiness too.

"Yes, let's be happy together."

"Absolutely."

The atmosphere in Westbridge was not nearly as cheerful as in Aurelia City.

Oliver hadn't been to kindergarten in a long time. The Blackwell family had already arranged for a private tutor to come to the house, planning to homeschool him until it was time for primary school.

After all, with only half a year of kindergarten left, it didn't really matter for a wealthy family like theirs whether he attended or not.

But suddenly, he insisted on going to kindergarten.

Oliver could no longer see Leo's social media posts.

But after their fight, he wasn't about to ask Leo directly. Instead, he went to the kindergarten to ask the other children.

He confirmed that he had been blocked.

And he also saw Leo's new post.

His mother was kissing that boy's forehead.

He flew into a rage and smashed the other child's phone.

When Adrian came to deal with the situation, he once again threw a tantrum, demanding to go to Aurelia City.

"I want to find my mommy!"

She could only be the wife on his household register.

"Find something to keep Julian busy. Andrew, too. Don't let him get too comfortable over there."

"...Yes, sir."

Adrian hung up and looked at Oliver, who was still crying on the sofa.

He finally spoke. "With a temper like that, how could she possibly like you?"

"But I was always like this before!" Oliver protested. "Mommy used to be so patient with me. As soon as I started crying, she would comfort me. Not like you, Dad, you're just cold! Mommy divorced you because you're cold! It's all your fault that I can't see Mommy anymore, that Mommy doesn't want me!"

Adrian remained as cold as ever. "You know perfectly well what you did."

Oliver's lip trembled. "Liking Auntie Selena and wanting my mommy aren't mutually exclusive."

Adrian said, "You can like Selena, but you called her 'mommy' and you wanted me and your mother to get a divorce. You can't deny that."

Oliver let out a sob, taking a moment to process Adrian's words and his own emotions.

Then he started crying again, his eyes swelling up.

"I already apologized, what more does she want? I'm her biological son! The teacher said that mothers would never abandon their own children, sob..."
