Seeing the mother and son hugging and crying, my heart ached.
"Dad! Divorce this old witch! I don't want her to be my mother!" Seeing me unmoved, Elio ran to Theo and cried.
I'd heard this nickname from Elio more than once. Usually, when he and Alexa were playing in the playroom.
Whenever I made something delicious and brought it to him, but now he wouldn't ask me to hold him and feed him like he used to.
Instead, he'd hide in Alexa's arms and the two of them would curl up together and badmouth me.
I knew all this, but I didn't want to think about it.
But I never thought he'd say it to my face today. "Elio! What's wrong with you? How dare you call your mom that?"
"Have you forgotten how good your mom was to you?"
Yes, I give almost everything I had into this child.
I even had a miscarriage while trying to take him to the hospital with a high fever.
At that time, I completely doted on him as if he were my own child.
I thought that as long as I treated him sincerely, we could still have a complete family, even without children of our own.
However, the family I once imagined vanished when Alexa returned.
