A Matter of Wife and Love

Still, out of courtesy, she smiled and said, “Mr. Alston, you’re in the wrong place.

This is the women’s bathroom.

The men’s bathroom is next door.” “I don’t care whether you’re hooking up with another man, but you will not take Bria with you! She’s my daughter! Return her to the Alston Residence at once!” Leo habitually commanded her to do his bidding.

After she heard his rude demands, the polite smile she initially had quickly melted away as she sneered, “Your daughter? Mr. Alston, do you know the time I gave birth to Bria? Was Bria born in the morning or the afternoon? And the weather on the day she was born.

Was it cloudy or sunny that day? Also, do you even know what we went through after her birth?” In an instant, her pointed questions shut him up.

He was utterly stumped and unable to answer any of her questions. After I married Amelie, I spent more time in the company.

In fact, I spent two-thirds of my time in the entire year on business trips.

The only thing I remembered was that Amelie had already given birth to Bria by the time I returned home from my trip. Amelie looked down, disappointed by Leo’s reaction. I once read the introduction of a novel about a woman who had gone through her pregnancy alone, went for check-ups alone, and even gave birth alone.

At that time, I felt that the female lead character in the novel was very pitiful.

It wasn’t until I bled profusely during childbirth to the point that I had to sign a notice of critical illness for Bria that I realized the scenario described in the book was only one-tenth of what I had endured.

For that reason, ever since he didn’t pick up my distressed calls, I deliberately kept this matter hidden from him.

So what if I told him the truth? He would probably just ridicule and mock me anyway, saying everything that happened to me was due to my scheming against him and my karma for ruining his relationship with Elyse. She hid away the grief in her heart as she raised her head and gave him a fierce smile.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Alston.

Bria is the apple of my eye.

So naturally, I won’t make her suffer the same fate as me.

I won’t let anyone think she’s of lowly birth.

Instead, I will provide her a life that’s filled with utter dignity!” Immediately after she finished saying her piece, she bypassed him and stormed out of the bathroom.

The following days were much calmer.
