Billionaire And His Son Betrayed Me: Brothers Back Me Up novel Chapter 38

Melanie had the servant kick Xylia out of Sonny’s room. The servant grabbed Xylia’s arm so hard that it left a red mark.

Pressing herself against the door, Xylia strained to catch what Melanie and Tessa were saying inside.

“Tessa, Sonny always sticks to you. It’s a lot for you to come over every time,” Melanie said.

“It’s no trouble at all. Sonny’s always clinging to me, and I really like him. As long as he gets better, I don’t mind coming over as many times as needed, Tessa replied.

Sonny struggled to sit up and hugged Tessa tightly. “Tessa, you’re always the nicest to me. I love you so much,”

he said.

They really looked just like a family

Seeing that. Xylia gave a bitter little laugh and turned away. All she could feel now was how cruelly ironic it all

was.

As soon as Xylia turned around, Orion appeared from around the corner of the stairs. “Xylia, I need to talk to you,” he said.

Orion was back to his usual gentle self with her.

Xylia followed Orion into the study.

Once inside, Orion said, “Xylia, last time you told me you wanted to divorce Connor. Mind telling me why?”

Xylia sat down on the sofa across from Orion. Staring at Orion’s gentle smile, she spaced out for a moment.

Xylia could still remember how forceful and overbearing Orion had been that day in the study.

“Mr. Ford, why are you so determined to keep me and Connor together? Xylia asked.

Xylia used to think that Orion always told her not to divorce Connor because he liked her. But now, she wasn’t sure what Orion was really after anymore.

Xylia was not the real heiress of the Schultz family. Even if she did find her real family, they were nothing special–just regular folks.

I have nothing to offer Connor, no advantages at all, so why is Orion still so dead set on keeping me married. to Connor?‘ Xylia wondered.

Orion looked pale and tired. When he heard Xylia’s question, he bowed his head, coughing quietly.

Xylia pressed her lips together and poured Orion a glass of water.

Orion took a few sips and finally looked a little better.

Orion said and let out a gentle sight, “Xylia, I’ve told you before. You’ve always been such a kind and genuine. kid. Being with Connor, you help keep him on track. I care about you the most.

“Honestly, it would break my heart to see you leave the Ford Mansion. Xylia, you know how things are with Ford Group these days. It’s a tough situation for Connor.”

He continued, “If he were to go through a divorce right now, it could really hurt the company and everyone in the family. If you really have to divorce him, couldn’t you just wait until Ford Group pulls through this crisis first?”

There was a pleading look in Orion’s eyes.

Xylia shook her head. “Mr. Ford, I have to divorce Connor,”

Orion’s expression darkened, his frail hands balled into fists on his knees.

With trembling effort, he rose to his feet, as if about to bow before Xylia.

Xylia jumped in surprise and rushed to support him. “Mr. Ford, what are you doing?” she blurted out.

“I don’t know how much longer I have left, Xylia. If you really have to go, could you at least wait until after I’m gone?” Orion pleaded.

Xylia’s heart was in knots. Hesitating for a while, she finally nodded. “Mr. Ford, please, get up.”

Seeing Xylia agree, Orion finally smiled with relief. As he lowered his head, there was a hint of a cunning glint in his shrewd, spirited eyes.

“It’s a promise, Xylia. Just stay with the Ford family until I’m gone, okay? I won’t let Melanie give you a hard time anymore,” Orion said.

That was when Xylia finally realized that Orion had always known she was being mistreated in the Ford family, but he’d never lifted a finger to help.

Xylia always thought Orion cared about her, but now she knew that wasn’t true.

Connor was already so indifferent, let alone his grandfather, who was more experienced and more cunning.

No matter what Orion was really after, in two months, once her grandmother’s death anniversary had passed, Xylia would be out of here for good.

Since Sonny was so attached to her, Tessa ended up moving in with the Ford Mansion for a while.

That night, Sonny didn’t come downstairs for dinner. Tessa made some soup and brought it up to his room.

Connor watched Tessa, his eyes softening with a gentle warmth. “Sonny’s sick, and I really have to thank you for being here for him, Tessa,” he said.

Tessa grinned, “Come on, Connor, you don’t have to thank me. I’ve told you. As Sonny’s aunt, of course, I’ll take care of him.

Connor looked at Tessa with gentle eyes. But when he turned to Xylia, his expression darkened.

“Tessa’s just Sonny’s aunt, and yet she’s so good to him. But you, his mother, just laze around all day, not even sparing your son a single glance. Why are you so heartless?” Connor snapped.

“You said it, didn’t you? Tessa will take care of him,” Xylia replied coolly. Without another word, she turned and headed upstairs.

“Stop right here, Xylia,” Connor called out, his voice low and sharp. But Xylia didn’t stop.

Tessa stepped in, trying to smooth things over. “Come on, Connor, Xylia’s been in her room all day. She’s probably worn out. Just let her be, okay?”

Connor just got even colder. “This is all my fault for spoiling her. After all these years, how could she possibly make it on her own without us?”

His voice was loud enough for Xylia to hear, and she sneered to herself. If it weren’t for you, I never would have ended up like this, she wondered. Thankfully, in just two more months, I can finally leave this place.”

Tessa brought the soup into Sonny’s room.

Sonny’s fever was gone, but he still seemed weak and sluggish. He was sitting on the soft carpet bedroom, listlessly holding some Legos.

“Sonny, it’s time to eat, Tessa said gently.

Sonny turned his head and saw Tessa and Connor walking in.

in his

Even though Sonny was happy to see Tessa, there was still a hollow feeling in his chest. He thought his mom would stubbornly show up to check on him.

Back when Sonny got sick, no matter how much he acted up, his mom would always be there for him; she never ignored him.

“I made you some soup, Sonny. Come on, be good and have a little, okay?” Tessa coaxed gently.

“Tessa, I don’t want to eat, Sonny mumbled, barely above a whisper.
