Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 241

Mr. Blackwell didn't see it coming and was knocked to the ground before he could react.

Sharp pain shot through his stomach and tailbone.

"Oh my goodness!" Mrs. Blackwell cried out, rushing to help him up. "Where did you get hurt? I'll take you to the hospital."

Mr. Blackwell waved her off. "Don't touch me yet. Just let me catch my breath for a second."

"Let me help you sit down."

"I can't sit."

Mrs. Blackwell turned her glare on Oliver. She had always doted on her grandson, but this was too much. "How could you do that to your grandfather!"

With red-rimmed eyes and his small hands balled into tight fists, Oliver repeated, "My mom isn't dead!"

Mrs. Blackwell was about to say something, but old Mrs. Blackwell cut her off. "Oliver Blackwell."

She had never used such a stern tone with him before.

The Blackwells all respected the matriarch.

His mother and father had taught him that.

So, he reined in his temper and looked at old Mrs. Blackwell. "Great-grandmother."

Old Mrs. Blackwell’s expression was unusually serious. "You're only six, so I can't expect you to understand things like an adult. But I think you can understand that people die."

"I've asked about the 'mom' you keep talking about. Her name is Isabel Ashford, and she comes from a prominent family abroad. She is not Isabel. She is not your mother."

Tears streamed down Oliver's face, but he remained defiant. "Great-grandmother, I wouldn't mistake my own mom."

He asked her, "If I changed my identity, would you not be able to recognize me?"

Of course, old Mrs. Blackwell knew Isabel wasn't dead.

But she never expected that Oliver, who had been chasing after Selena calling her 'mom,' would actually recognize Isabel and be so persistent about it.

He really was Adrian's son, through and through.

They both only started to want something after they had already lost it.

"If you changed your identity, I could still recognize you. Similarly, your mother and I were very close, so of course, I would recognize her too. Your great-aunt has already shown me photos and explained the situation. Oliver, she is truly not your mother."

Oliver fell silent, but it was clear from his expression that he hadn't taken her words to heart.

He didn't even have to make his bed.

At Halcyon Hills Residence, he'd get dressed in the morning with Martha's help, brush his teeth, and wash his face, but he still had to make his bed, either with Martha's or his mom's help.

He didn't like doing those things.

And he didn't like how his mom always said no when he wanted to eat something.

Even though he liked the food she cooked.

Later, when his mom wanted to divorce his dad, he, like his dad, thought she was just throwing a tantrum and would eventually come back.

Besides, he felt that even though his mom liked his dad, she wasn't happy with him, so a divorce might be for the best.

His mom would always be his mom, anyway.

He never imagined that after the divorce, his mom would die and no longer be his mom.

He couldn't accept it.

"I don't want Selena to be my mom! I don't care what happens with her and Dad. I just want my own mom!"
