Chapter 287


    Rachael wished that Alex would just die in his hometown, and would not disturb her and Brian for the


    rest of her life.


    However, Alex came against her wish.


    Since Alex came to her home, she was constantly reminded that Brian had loved another woman and


    had a son together. Now, Rachael had to use the money Brian earned to support the child.


    She couldn''t stand it.


    She didn''t want to do anything to Alex. However, she was unhappy and couldn''t help but take it out on


    him.


    However, Rachael didn''t expect her venting would be such a problem.


    Rachael and her parent''s reputation were getting worse. Brian had given up on her and didn''t even give


    her living expenses, neither could she muster the courage to ask for a divorce. Those days were


    nothing short of a living hell to Rachael.


    She had to admit what her mother said made sense.


    If she wanted to live a good life with Brian, she had to coax and get Alex back.


    Even if Rachael thought of Yuri when she saw Alex and went crazy, she had to hold back and endure it.


    Even if she couldn''t treat Alex as her child, she had to pretend and coax Alex to trust, ept, and treat


    her as his mother.


    It is only then I go back to the past and have a happy and perfect life.


    No.


    As long as Alex is still alive, he will be buzzing around in my family like a fly. My life will no longer be


    perfect.


    However, this is a life chosen by my brainless self. I am no longer young and have given birth to two


    children. It''s toote to regret it now.


    Rachael closed her eyes and took a deep breath. After opening her eyes, she looked at Laine and said,


    "Mom, I figured it out. I will listen to you. I''m going to coax Alex and ask him toe back! I''m serious


    this time. I must bring him back!"


    Even if life with Alex is not perfect, it is much better than the current hell I''m living in. For the sake of my


    happiness, I must bring Alex back! He''s just a seven-year-old brat; it''s easy to coax him back anyway!


    Seeing that Rachael had a change of heart, Laine breathed a sigh of relief. "That''s great. I''ll find


    someone to help us find out Alex''s address."


    After finding Alex''s address, Laine and Rachael bought gifts for Alex and Madeline. On Sunday


    morning, they went to the Oasis Law Office.


    They were surprised to see the magnificent Oasis Law Office.


    This was especially the case for Rachael.


    Although Madeline was beautiful and dressed elegantly, Rachael thought Madeline was a lowlywyer


    that was working with a smallw firm.


    She did not expect Madeline to work in such arge firm.


    When Rachael mentioned Madeline, it did not cross her mind that the staff would refer to Madeline as


    the boss.


    What made her feel even more surprised was that she and Laine met Madeline in the Sun Garden


    instead of the Oasis Law Office.


    The Sun Garden covered a vast area and had beautiful scenery. It was like abination of the South


    Garden and Royal Garden. It had the Royal Garden''s magnificence and South Garden''s grace. It had a


    small bridge and flowing body of water, and around every turn was wonderful scenery. It looked like


    paradise and made people want to linger.


    Laine and Rachael met Madeline in the back of Sun Garden. Not far from Madeline, several young and


    strong men were instructing three children to practice martial arts. One of them was Alex.


    Rachael''s eyes widened.


    Alex Carter is learning martial arts with a few good-looking men in a ce as beautiful as paradise!


    Rachael felt a buzzing in her head as her blood rushed to her head. She thought she was about to


    have a hemorrhage.


    This world is crazy! Because of Alex, my parents and I were criticized, and our reputation went down


    the drain. Alex, on the other hand, is like a little prince, living in a ce I can''t even dream of and being


    taken care of!


    What is going on?


    The world is so unfair!

    Rachael clenched her fists, and her fingernails were about to pierce her skin.


    She was reluctant when she came as she did not want to bring Alex back. She forced herself toe


    to make Brian forgive her and be all loving again. However, the reluctance had disappeared without a


    trace.


    Rachael couldn''t wait to drag Alex away and leave.


    She was willing to pamper Alex instead of letting him stay here.


    It was only now that Rachael understood things. Madeline was not a smallwyer in aw firm. She


    was a wealthy and powerful high-ss person.


    If I let Alex stay by Madeline''s side, he will seed in life! If Alex stays with such a high-ssdy, his


    future will not be terrible. When he grows up and bes famous, my children and I won''t have a


    good life. Alex will take revenge on us!


    Thinking of this, Rachael trembled all over.


    If it wasn''t for Madeline''s power, Rachael would have rushed over to Alex and grabbed him by the wrist


    to drag him home.


    However, she was afraid of Madeline, so she could only reluctantly smile in greeting. "Hello, Miss


    Taylor."


    Madeline smiled in return. "Hello, Mrs. Carter. What''s the matter?"


    "I''m here to take Alex home." Rachael tried to make her smile look calm and gentle. "Brian and I are


    very grateful for you taking care of Alex. However, Alex has a home, so he can''t disturb you by staying


    here anymore. I want to take him home."


    "You want to take Alex home?" Madeline was a little surprised. "However, Alex''s grandmother has


    entrusted him to me. I have to take care of Alex until adulthood. It is in the contract, and you also


    signed it."


    "That''s true." Rachael struggled to maintain the smile on her face. "However, the contract is fixed, and


    we are not. No matter what, Brian is Alex''s birth father and I am his stepmother. Alex has a family, so


    it''s inappropriate for him to stay with others. In the past, it was my fault. I was not good at educating


    children, which caused him to misunderstand my intentions. During this time, I have studied many


    books on educating children. If you are willing to give me a chance and let me take Alex back, I am


    confident I can clear up this little misunderstanding and let go of the past to be a good mother, so he


    can feel the warmth at home."


    "I''m sorry," Madeline said apologetically, but her face was cold. "I have to keep my promise. Since I


    have epted this entrustment, I will take care of Alex. I can''t let you take him away."


    At that point, Rachael could barely hold her smile.


    She was afraid of Madeline''s power, so she dared not fight the woman. In the end, she had to pin her


    hopes on Alex.


    Rachael''s gaze drifted toward the boy, and she said, "Can I talk to Alex?"
