Chapter 339
There was a sense of cold detachment on Esther’s porcelain face as she heard Felix’s question. They sat side by side on the rocks by the sea, holding hands. The crashing waves occasionally splashed onto them, creating a warm and beautiful silhouette of a mother and son leaning on
each other.
“Felix, I won’t go back to him anymore.”
Felix asked softly, his voice tender, “Why don’t you want to go back to Daddy, Mommy?”
“Because Mommy isn’t happy with him,” Esther replied.
Esther held Felix’s hand, feeling somewhat guilty. She knew that Bradley was Felix’s father and that he might want to go back to him. However, she no longer desired to return to Bradley’s side, even for Felix’s sake.
“Mommy, are you really not happy when you’re with Daddy?” Felix asked, puzzled.
Esther looked into Felix’s pure eyes and honestly expressed her feelings, “Yes, Mommy isn’t happy with him.
“But if you want to go back to him, I’ll arrange for someone to take you, but Mommy won’t go back.”
Felix tilted his face, partially understanding, and asked, “Mommy, are you going to divorce Daddy?”
“Yes.”
Felix looked down at the waves on the seashore, his expression somber. After a moment of silence, he reluctantly said, “Okay then, I’ll support Mommy as long as you’re happy.” “Thank you, Felix. You’re the best!” Esther held Felix’s hand and decided not to tell him about what Bradley had done to her. She didn’t want to tarnish Felix’s image of his father.
“Can you stay with me for a while, Felix? You were with Daddy for five years, so can you be with me for a few months?”
Felix agreed affectionately, “Okay!”
Esther brought Felix’s hand to her lips and kissed it. “I must have been incredibly lucky in my past life.”
Felix asked curiously, “Why?”
Esther pulled Felix into her arms and said, “That’s why I have such good luck to have an adorable son like you!”
“Mommy!” Felix blushed, even the tips of his ears turning pink. “Mommy, where are we going if we’re not with Daddy?”
Esther held Felix’s hand and spoke softly. “Actually, you have two little sisters, Felix. One is Tinkerbell, and the other is Pixie.”
Felix listened attentively as Esther told him the story.
“But Pixie was adopted and went overseas. I’ll take you abroad to find Pixie if you want to be
with me. If you don’t want to be with me, I’ll arrange for someone to take you to Daddy.”
