Hunter:
“Goodnight!” I bid my mother farewell, leaning my head back on the chair and gazing at the ceiling.
She had approached me to talk, but I wasn’t in the mood.
“Hunter! You can’t go on like this. You head to the office and then to the warrior center. You need to
eat something to boost your energy,” she insisted, ttering the dishes in front of me while cing
the food on the table.
I had gone straight to the study after a shower, avoiding Tara. Just seeing her made me want to
gag, I didn’t know when she’d grasp that I had no interest in her. The chances of that happening
seemed slim, but I kept my hopes up.
I’m not hungry,” I replied, keeping my eyes closed..
“Did you go see him today?” Mom settled in the chair next to mine.
“He’s still upset with me,” I uttered. “You know, my son is so good-he’s so confident. The way he
defended his mother-”
As I spoke about that, I recalled the other things he told me about Tara. 1 straightened up in the
chair and locked eyes with my mother, “Do you know that Tara talked with him about my past with
Reyna? It angered him so much.”
“What? Why would she talk about it to a literal child?” Thankfully, my mother stopped defending
Tara
I’d witnessed her wandering alone in the mansion, initially feeling sorry for her. However, when I
remembered all the times she made Reyna cry, my sympathy waned. My mother had tried her best
to keep us apart,ing between us and attempting to turn me against Reyna. We faced some
hardships because of her, but I never allowed my mother to speak ill of Reyna in front of me.
But it was only after Reyna left that I found out my mother made her life a living hell in my absence.
Poor Reyna neverined to me.
I shook my head, feeling sorry for her. She kind of punished me for my mother’s behavior, so she
wasn’t a saint either. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.
“I don’t know, she’s your choice, so why don’t you ask her?” Our conversations always started
normally and ended with me taunting her for using me to ept Tara. She was the one who initially
suggested I should ept her to get back at Reyna, and
du*mbas*s did. I didn’t realize that it wouldn’t bother Reyna at all. If she was that possessive over
me, she would have never cheated on me in the first ce. Or maybe that’s why she cheated. She
got so tired of everyone disrespecting her that she decided to get out of this rtionship. Could it
be?
my
“She was my choice when I didn’t know how toxic and maniptive she was. Ah! Sometimes I miss
the good old days,” Mom sighed and lowered her head. I knew she wanted to say that she missed
Reyna, but she wouldn’t. None of us would.
That’s when my phone rang, and a frown creased my forehead.
“It’s Reyna,” I whispered when my mother tried peeking at the screen to see who was calling me at
this hour of the night.
“Well, attend to it quickly; who knows what’s going on,” Mother’s words terrified me. I wouldn’t want
to hear another piece of bad news..
I quickly answered the call and started yammering, “What happened? Is Turner alright? Are you
okay?” My heart was jumping up and down, and with my mother constantly eyeing me to tell her
what had happened, I was even more anxious
now.
“Daddy!”
It was as if my whole existence paused right then and there. Silence engulfed me, and I closed my
eyes, taking deep breaths.

Chapter 52
“Turner?” I was shocked that he had called me.
“It’s my grandson?” Mom quickly punched my arm to make me put my cellphone on speaker. I eyed
her but then did it. We were both restlessly wanting to speak to him.
“Hi,” Turner replied in his usual soft andforting tone.
“How are you?” I didn’t immediately want to ask him if he was calling me secretly, so I continued like
normal.
“I’ve been thinking about you,” he spoke so softly and in such a mature tone that a huge smile
covered both mine and my mother’s faces.
“Really, what are you thinking about?” I asked, gettingfortable in my seat.
“Just how upset you looked today,” he replied from the other side.
“I was worried,” he then added, and a smile came to my mother’s lips as well. Wow! It feels so good
to have a child.
“Let me speak to him,” mother whispered, nudging me nonstop.
“Worried for your daddy?” I asked, and he only sighed from the other side.
“Don’t cry, okay. Although I am still upset with you, it’s not like I can see you cry,” he quickly spoke,
as if he didn’t want to be questioned for caring for me.
“Now that you called, of course I wouldn’t cry, I was smiling so widely, even I couldn’t believe it.
“Hey! Do you want to speak to your grandma? She misses you a lot too,” I finally replied to my
mother through a gesture to
calm down.
“Sure!” Turner was a sweet child; he knew the value of rtionships. I must give it to Reyna for
teaching him such good manners. She had done an incredible job with his upbringing
“Hey, my sweet grandson,” mom quickly snatched the phone out of my hands even when she could
have just talked while 1 was holding it.
“Grandma, I am really upset with you,” Turner started, and my mother pouted.
“Why is that?” she asked, smiling like a fool. I don’t remember any of us smiling so widely after
Reyna left, to be honest.
“Why did you hate my mother so much? She is such a nice woman,” his concern for Reyna and his
love for her was an indication that she never made him feel lonely. She must have been too good to
him for him to be this dedicated to her.
“My child! People don’t know what they have until they lose it. I was a fool, and I got punished by
having a woman like Tara around me now,” my mother had never openly admitted to being wrong,
so that was new.
While the two of us talked with him for hours, I realized that now more than ever, I want to take him
back. But not only him, I want Reyna back too. Even if it means that I don’t forgive her, she should
stay with me, look at me every day, and realize what she has done to me. Being with me will be her
new punishment.
