Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1901

Dwayne and Itzel were a legendary couple in Seamar City. Their love was the stuff of envy.

The Houston family had deep ties to the military, often tangled in shady dealings. Decades ago, they were a powerful military clan. Dwayne was a force no one dared cross.

When Itzel got pregnant, he stepped away from the dark side.

Marion was born adorable, so cute the nurse mistook him for a girl.

Itzel, Seamar City's top socialite, had always wanted a daughter to inherit her beauty and grace. She dreamed of raising a refined lady.

But Marion was a boy, though a handsome one.

Itzel sighed, "You're so pretty, honey. If only you were a girl."

Marion was mature for his age. Unlike other kids, he rarely smiled, inheriting Dwayne's stoic demeanor.

Itzel was crushed. She'd married a poker face. She didn't want her son to be another.

"Sweetie, let's make a deal," she said eagerly.

Her enthusiasm made him tremble.

Dwayne came home to find Marion in a pink princess dress, a wig, and a silver tiara.

Itzel beamed. "Doesn't he look cute? He likes it. Don't you, honey?"

"Yep."

"Then I want one."

The father and son doted on Itzel during her pregnancy. Dwayne often told Marion, "As a man, you protect your mom, your sister, and your future wife."

He nodded seriously.

But tragedy struck.

His parents both died in a car crash, along with the unborn child. A steel pipe had pierced them, Dwayne shielding Itzel to the end.
