Chapter 68


    The Figueroa family.


    "Mommy still hasn''t called?" Caden was wearing his Spongebob pajamas and his face was filled with


    disappointment.


    Kh was sitting next to him, wearing the same pajamas. She yawned and said, "Yeah, she hasn''t


    called. Caden, let''s go to bed first. We''ll wait for her call tomorrow!"


    Shey down and closed her eyes.


    "No!" Caden refused angrily. Then, he took Kh''s phone and called his mother.


    He missed his mommy so much. It was as though he was lovesick!


    No one answered the first time.


    The second time, no one answered either.


    Caden called five times in a row, but no one answered the phone.


    "Stop calling, kiddo!" Kh forced her eyes open and sat up, then yawned again. "Your mommy is with


    your bad daddy. She won''t dare answer your call. Go to bed."


    "Why won''t mommy dare to answer my call?"


    "Because she''s afraid of your sc*mbag daddy finding out and snatching her custody rights!"


    Caden puffed out his cheeks and clenched his little fists, not speaking for a long time.


    "Oh dear, are you crying?" Kh opened her eyes, and when she saw his red-rimmed eyes, she


    panicked. "Don''t cry, don''t cry. If you cry, I''m going to get into deep trouble!"


    Mr. and Mrs. Figueroa treasured Caden way more than their own daughter!


    "Who''s crying!" Caden red at her,y down, and covered his teary eyes with the nket.


    He would definitely grow up to be a strong man and protect his mother from being bullied by his father!


    However, he couldn''t protect his mommy now. He was really angry!


    "Kiddo, I already saw you crying. There''s no use hiding under the nket now. Don''t pull it so tightly


    over you, or who''s going to be responsible if you suffocate?" Kh tugged hard on the nket.


    Caden clung to the nket with all his might, refusing to let go.


    Ring—


    Ring—


    Her phone was ringing.


    Kh grabbed her phone, and when she saw the caller ID, her face darkened at once.


    "I''m going outside to answer a phone call. Don''t suffocate!" She kicked Caden lightly.


    Only when Caden let out a muffled answer from under the nket did she go outside in relief.


    The night breeze was a little strong. It blew along the corridor through the window, all the way into


    Kh''s heart, icy cold.


    "Kh, I''m getting married on the 15th of next month." Oliver''s voice was very calm.


    After he finished speaking, she didn''t answer him, and he didn''t say anything more.


    Both of them were silent, and they could only hear each other''s breathing on the phone.


    Kh had always thought she had moved on from the breakup, but only when she heard his voice did


    she realize that she had merely locked up her memories of them in the back of her mind.


    They had lived together for ten years and known each other for twelve years, but all she got in the end


    was him saying he was getting married. What a joke!


    "Why did you f*cking call me to tell me this? Don''t tell me you expect me to attend your wedding?" She


    deliberately lowered her voice, but he could still hear the tears in her voice.


    After a while, Oliver said a little sadly, "Yea, I''d like you to attend my wedding. Kh, I won''t get to


    marry you in this life, but...I wish to see you at my wedding."


    "Who the hell do you think you are! What makes you think I''ll go just because you want me to?" Kh


    was afraid that others would hear her, so she growled in a low voice, "You b*stard, I''m telling you, I


    won''t go! I won''t wish you and another woman happiness!"


    With that, she hung up and let her tears flow down her face until they dripped onto the floor.


    Ding—


    Oliver sent her a text.


    "Who would read his f*cking text?!" Kh cursed, wiped the tears on her face, but still clicked on the


    text.


    "When I met you, I used up all my luck, when I left you, I used up all my courage. I was not afraid of


    meeting you, just afraid of meeting you at the wrong time. I''ve let you down. I''ll say this onest time,


    Kh, I love you. I love you with all my heart!"


    Reading the text, Kh covered her mouth and cried like a fool.


    Why?


    Why had he wanted the breakup but was still acting like the victim? Who was he putting on a show for?


    ...


    At Lindbarry Chateau.


    The lights were off, and the moonlight cast vivid shadows on the floor through the curtains.


    Lucy was lying on the bed with her whole body tensed up. Her hands gripped the nket uneasily as


    she stared up at the ceiling, her heart pounding.


    Even though there was a gap between her and Arthur, she could still feel his body heat.


    "!" Lucy''s eyes widened and her entire body went as taut as a wire.


    Arthur...couldn''t hold back any longer?


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Before she could ponder it any further, he pulled her into his warm embrace, and all she could smell


    was his faint cologne.


    "Lucy." He called out hoarsely and hugged her tightly.
