Reborn To Stay Away From Him novel Chapter 17

Stephen ran to Edmund, wrapped his arms tightly around Edmund’s leg, and burst into loud sobs.

“Dad, I was wrong. Diana told me that Mom was useless and could only be a nanny. I want Mom to come back!”

Every single word was like an ice pick stabbing straight into Edmund’s heart.

“Eddy, how can you believe a child’s words? He’s just slandering me because I didn’t cook the food he likes. Don’t you remember? He often cursed at Josie. Now he’s turning on me too.”

Diana shook Edmund’s arm in panic, tears streaming down her face as she cried.

Edmund recalled what he had said to Josephine that day.

“Would a six–year–old child lie?”

He would–and he would even make up a convincing reason.

Edmund shoved Diana away and clamped his hands tightly around her neck, the veins on the back of his hands bulging.

“What exactly have I done to wrong you? Was I not good enough to you, or did I not give you enough? You already have more than enough. Why would you still do this to Josie!”

Diana’s face flushed crimson as she desperately clutched Edmund’s arms.

“Edmund… was it really only me? Weren’t all of these things done by both of us together?”

Her words instantly drained the strength from Edmund’s arms, and he staggered back two steps.

Diana shed her usual fragile demeanor and pointed at Edmund as she questioned him.

“You were the one who fell in love with me at first sight at the

engagement banquet. That night, did you reject me? Did you push me away?”

“I told you to switch my son over and forbade you from raising your daughter, and weren’t you perfectly willing to do it?”

“That day when I aimed a handgun at Josephine, you were standing right beside me. You saw everything!”

Edmund shook his head, not daring to think deeply about everything that had happened over the past few years.

But Diana seemed unwilling to let him off, pressing him word by word.
