Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1135

Suddenly, Noah broke the silence. "Dad, did you fly me all the way back just to see Mom?"

Sebastian answered without hesitation. "Of course. You've been away from her for so long. Don't you miss her?

She hasn't seen you in ages. Imagine how much she misses you.

That's why I brought you back. Remember what we talked about—be affectionate, and make sure you call her 'Mom'."

Noah's head drooped again.

He didn't miss her, and he definitely didn't want to see her. If it were up to him, he would trade her for a new mom in a heartbeat.

A pretty one with a good reputation. Someone successful that his friends would actually be jealous of. Someone like Bella.

Thinking of Bella made his chest ache.

After a long pause, he whispered, "Dad... when can I see Auntie Bella? I miss her. Can I at least call her?"

Auntie Bella?

Sebastian's jaw tightened, a surge of disgust hitting him. "She is not your aunt. Your mother doesn't have a sister.

Your mother despises that woman. When you see her, you are absolutely forbidden from bringing her up.

And you will never call her 'Auntie' again. Do you understand me?"

Noah stared at him in utter confusion.

Never call her Auntie?

"But why? She's always been so good to me. Whenever you were busy with work, she took care of me. I love her.

I know Mom hates her, but Mom hates Grandpa and my uncles too.

Mom is the one with the problem, but she never admits it. She always blames Auntie Bella for everything, and Dad—"

"Enough!" Sebastian snapped, his voice echoing in the confined space. "You're crossing the line, Noah. Did you hear a single word I just said?
