His Hidden Family My Ruined Marriage (Liana) novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160 You’re Not Mother and Son

Liana stood frozen against the wall for two seconds, the turned and walked away.

I can’t save Theo. I’m sorry, but playing the saint requires resources I don’t have.

Inside the room, Elian found Anya by Theo’s bed.

Hearing the door, Anya looked up. “Elian, you’re back. Come quick, look at Theo. He’s trembling so badly, like he’s having another nightmare.”

Elian strode over. Seeing him, Theo only cried harder.

“Theo, don’t cry. Mommy and Daddy are both here for you. Don’t be scared, Theo. I’m sorry…” Anya said, her voice thick with what sounded like heartfelt pain.

Suddenly, as if overcome by guilt, she leaned against the bed and began to sob.

“Anya, that’s enough,” Elian said flatly, turning to look at the woman weeping uncontrollably.

“Elian, do you think I’m useless too? At first, we got along so well, like mother and son. But lately, no matter what I do. I can’t calm him down.”

Anya wiped her tears, sounding like she despised herself

“You’re not mother and son.”

“What?” Anya thought she’d misheard.

“You share no blood relation,” Elian stated clearly.

A fresh wave of fear washed over Anya. He had already aid some harsh things last night.

“But I truly treat him as my own son! Elian, you promised me you wouldn’t take him away from me.”

“I am his legal guardian. I allow you to care for him, but stop saying you and he are mother and son,” Elian reminded her coldly.

Anya’s tears welled up again. “So… you want Liana to take care of him?”

“She is my wife. Since I am Theo’s guardian, she is, by extension, his stepmother.” Elian went on calmly.

“Yes. You’re right.”

Looking at his serious face, Anya suddenly didn’t dare push back.

But inside, she swore she’d co-parent Theo with him.

And thinking of last night, she felt a few shades more confident.

There will be no wedding between Elian and Liana.

I’ll be Elian’s last wife in the end.

Liana might act proud of being his first, but what good is first

Just like her useless mother-didn’t she end up alone anyway

My mother, though she used some tricks, remained by my father’s side for years.

Early the next morning, after getting ready, Liana opened her apartment door to go out for breakfast.

But the moment she opened the door, someone toppled at her feet.

She jumped back, her heart leaping into her throat.

When she saw his face, her legs gave way, and she knel beside him in a panic. “Elian? Elian, what’s wrong?”
