Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 182

Chapter 182 Sacrifice our Marriage

For Stefan, it was quite satisfying that Jimmy was willing to see him.

Martha, who was watching their interactions silently, had complicated feelings.

She thought Jimmy would care little about the toys that he already had, but...

He was still happy to receive them.

At that moment, it struck her that what was important was not whether he had the toys or not, rather, it was who bought him the toys.

She could never give him the paternal love he needed.

The next minute, Jimmy's voice brought her back to reality.

"How about telling me a story?"

He said to Stefan, who was stunned. He didn't expect such a question.

Telling a story... was not easy for him.

After all, he had never done it before and had no idea how to do it.

Jimmy blinked in confusion.

Was it so difficult for him to tell a story?

Those disappointed eyes grasped Stefan's heart and he agreed without hesitation.

It was the first time that Martha had seen Stefan being so embarrassed. The corner of her mouth curved up unwittingly.

Just like that, Mr. Harrison turned on his mode of telling a fairy tale in fits and starts.

He had never told a story before, but he was willing to try it for his kid.

After all, it was his responsibility.

Martha noticed the faint smile on Jimmy's face.

It had been his dream to hear his father telling him stories.

Now, it finally came true, though the story sounded rather weird.

She looked down at the time and left the ward, leaving private time for them to get familiar with each other.

After all, the fact that they were father and son would never be altered.

It was almost dark. Martha was standing in the end of the hallway, watching the night cover the city.

Now that she gave it a thought, it was the fourth time Jimmy had met Stefan.

Jimmy made great effort to return home, and yet his father neglected him several times. Even adults would be vexed in this situation, let alone a four-year-old child.

But tomorrow...

Thinking of Rhys, Martha had complicated feelings.

Half an hour later, Stefan got out of the ward.

When he saw Martha at the end of the corridor, his eyes were filled with softness and satisfaction.

Though the time he spent with Jimmy was not much, he felt their relationship much closer.
