Chapter 1080 Divorce (4)
In the Harper Vi, when Rose and her family returned, Madeleine was sitting on the couch with Shawn, watching TV and waiting for Elliot
As soon as they heard a noise outside the door, both the mother and son stood up to look outside.
Elliot had just stepped into the hall when Madeleine''s voice sounded pitifully. "Elliot, you''re back."N?velDrama.Org owns this.
He looked coldly at Madeleine standing not far away from him with a hint of disgust in his eyes.
The next second, he opened his lips slightly and his icy voice echoed throughout the hall. "You can leave now."
"Elliot, what happened?" Madeleine pretended to be innocent until she saw Rose and her daughter who hade back with Elliot standing behind
him at that moment.
She frowned slightly looking unkindly at them both. Soon after that jealousy overwhelmed her rationality, making her angry enough to point at Rose
who was standing behind Elliot.
"You want us to leave because of these two women?"
The man furrowed his handsome eyebrows without saying anything.
Madeleine clenched her hands tightly feeling wronged while raising her voice unconsciously.
"Grandpa asked us to stay here; are you going to make us leave because of these two bitches?"
"What about Shawn''s health? Don''t you know how he is? How could you let us leave now?"
The color in Elliot''s eyes deepened as he looked coldly at Madeleine.
"Shawn can stay here but you can go; there is no ce for you here."
His words were like sharp knives that pierced through Madeleine''s heart instantly, causing tears in her eyes and making it impossible for her to
maintain any rationality anymore
"How could you do this? Is this fair for me or Shawn?"
"We never asked anything from you; why are doing this to us?"
"You know very well about Shawn''s condition! How could treat my son and me like this?"
Madeleine used him until she couldn''t speak anymore due to being choked up by emotions
Rose who was standing beside him saw everything unfold before walking upstairs while holding Leah''s hand tightly.
"I''m going upstairs first.” She said before taking Leah straight into their room without wanting to watch the drama between Elliot and Madeleine.
As soon as she walked upstairs, she clearly heard Elliot''s cold voice calling out, "Son?"
"Madeleine, did you have to make me say it so harshly?"
"Don''t you know how this child came about?"
Rose paused at the words.
What did Elliot mean? Was there something wrong with Shawn''s origins?
Realizing what she was thinking, Rose shook her head and chuckled self-deprecatingly. That was none of her business.
She quickened her pace and returned to the room with Leah.
So she didn''t see Elliot standing in the hall and exuding a cold aura.
Madeleine froze when she saw his appearance. An expression of disbelief gradually appeared on her tear-stained face. Elliot had never been so
harsh to her before! In the past, whenever she mentioned their son, he wouldpromise..
The next second, his cold voice interrupted Madeleine''s thoughts again. "Get out!”
Madeleine trembled but didn''t dare really anger Elliot and left first.
With a bang, the heavy door closed in front of Madeleine. She clenched her fists by her side as she stared at it with resentment in her eyes.
‘Rose, you bitch! Why did you have toe back?! If not for you, how could Elliot treat me like this?! You''re a bitch; I won''t let you go!"
That night Shawn chose to sleep with Elliot because he was afraid while Leah naturally slept in a room with Rose.
Not long afterteah entered the
room, she heard voices outside from
Shawn asking timidly, "Daddy, can->
you tell 1 he a story before bed?" / Ad
then Daddy’ s cold voice replied,”
"Yes “After that, they closed their
bedroom door.

Leah felt very disappointed. She wanted Daddy to tell stories toc and wanted him to tuck her into bed but knew if she said anything, Mommy would be
upset.
Leah suppressed that desire obediently, lying down on bed, but when Mommy went into bathroom for showering, an idea popped up in Leah''s mind..
She wanted sneakily to find her daddy and listen to him telling stories ande back when Mommy finished showering.
Leah had made up her mind and quietly slipped out of bed, making her way to the master bedroom door.
"Knock knock knock.” The faint knocking interrupted the storytelling in the bedroom
Elliot looked towards the door and said calmly, "Come in."
Leah heard her father''s voice and slowly opened the door, peeking inside.
The warm yellow light filled the room as Elliot and Shawny on the bed. The adults held a storybook while Leah stood at the doorway with a curious
expression on her face.
Before Elliot could ask what she wanted, Leah closed the door behind her and walked up to him with pleading eyes. "l want to hear a story too."
Rose finished taking a shower but found that no one was in the spacious bedroom. She dried off her hair while calling out for Leah. "Leah, where are
you?"
But there was only silence in response because Leah was happily listening to stories from Elliot in his bedroom
Rose thought about how much Leah loved being around Elliot before deciding that if she wanted to find anyone right now, it would have to be him
She turned areund and opened her
bedroom dogr before walking
straight towards Elliot''s room with
furrowed brows and pursed lips. =
After hesitating for a moment
outside his door, Rose finally
knogked three times. "Knock knock
kribek''. Content belongs fo’
The sound of knocking interrupted everyone inside who turned their heads towards the door simultaneously.
Elliot guessed it was Rose at his doorstep; he then spoke softly yet maically. "Come in."
Meanwhile, Leah panicked upon hearing Rose''s arrival, knowing full well that she would have to leave soon after spending such an enjoyable time
listening to stories from her dad.
As soon as Rose pushed open

She nced sideways at Leah who seemed guilty about something, hands fidgeting nervously together while avoiding eye contact with her.
Rose fell silent for a moment before finally closing the door and leaving quietly. In that moment, she suddenly felt that it was good for Leah to have
Elliot''spany.
When it came to fatherly love, she had always owed her children.
As he watched her leave without saying a word, Elliot''s hand tightened slightly around the storybook and his deep-set eyes seemed bottomless.
If only these two children were his own.
But unfortunately, they weren''t...
