The Don's Orphan Wife Is A Mafia Empire Princess (Elara) novel Chapter 16

Chapter 5 Fighting

Ethan Miller watched as Evelyn Hart’s figure gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor, and a strange feeling of restlessness and unease welled up in his heart.

Why didn’t she defend herself more?

Ethan Miller kept thinking about this question in his mind.

He remembered Evelyn Hart’s calm and determined eyes, as well as her resolute back when she turned and left. A trace of doubt couldn’t help but rise in his heart.

Could it be that he had really misunderstood Evelyn Hart?

In his arms, Leah Foster felt a little uneasy during the long silence.

Was Ethan Miller really going to check the surveillance footage?

She had forgotten about this. So when she tried to frame Evelyn Hart just now, she hadn’t deliberately made physical contact with her.

If Ethan Miller really checked the surveillance, her carefully crafted image of being weak and helpless would collapse in an instant.

Leah Foster’s heart rate accelerated. She snuggled tightly into Ethan Miller’s arms, trying to hide her inner panic with the warmth of his body.

She secretly observed Ethan Miller’s expression with the corner of her eye, hoping to catch a glimpse of his true thoughts.

Seeing that he seemed to be thinking about something, Leah Foster coughed heavily.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Ethan Miller asked with concern, frowning slightly. His gaze retracted from the distance and focused on Leah Foster. His tone was full of worry, which made Leah Foster feel a little more at ease.

She shook her head weakly.

orry, Ethan. Did I end up making things worse with good intentions? I just wanted to explain our relationship early to Dr. Hart. I didn’t expect that not only did I fail to explain clearly, but I also made her misunderstand me even more. It’s all my fault. My body is so weak, and I’m so bad at expressing myself that I can’t make things clear.” Leah Foster’s voice was filled with self-blame and regret, and her eyes gradually turned red, as if tears could fall at any

moment.

Seeing this, Ethan Miller couldn’t help but feel a little pity. He gently patted Leah Foster’s back and comforted her softly.

“It’s not your fault. She’s just narrow-minded and jealous. I’ll deal with this. You don’t have to worry about it. I’ll take you back to rest fi

“Okay, thank you, Ethan.”

After leaving the hospital, Evelyn Hart went straight back to her newly rented house.

She lay comfortably on the soft bed and began to think about what to do during these twenty-five days while waiting for the divorce certificate to be issued.

Anything that might involve meeting Ethan Miller and Leah Foster was excluded from her options.

She planned to have a good time and relax during this period, as a small reward for her hard work over the years.

Just as she was excitedly writing down her plans in the memo on her phone, a sudden phone call shattered the peace.

The screen showed a familiar number. Evelyn Hart hesitated for a moment, but still pressed the answer button. “Hello? Miss Bell?”

If she could, Evelyn Hart really didn’t want to answer this call.

She remembered what Ethan Miller had said.

Recently, William Miller hadn’t been to school at all, and his study progress had dropped significantly. He was still waiting for her to go back and help him with his homework.

In the past, she had devoted herself to raising William Miller because she was naive.

Now, she wouldn’t waste her efforts to raise a toy for Ethan Miller to please his first love.

“Hello? Mrs. Miller, it’s me, Clara Bell.”

Clara Bell’s slightly anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

“I really had no choice but to call you. Can you come to the school right away?”

Evelyn Hart frowned, a little surprised by Clara Bell’s urgency.

“Miss Bell, don’t worry. Take your time. Has something happened to William Miller again?”

Clara Bell sighed. Her rapid speaking speed showed how urgent the situation was.

“Yes. William hasn’t been to school for a while. Do you know about this?”

Evelyn Hart pursed her lips and simply said directly.

“I know about this. However, I’m not in a position to take care of him. I’m currently going through the divorce process with my husband.”

On the other end of the phone, Clara Bell was obviously shocked by Evelyn Hart’s words. After a few seconds of silence, she continued.

“Divorce? This… I’m sorry, I didn’t know.”

Evelyn Hart shrugged casually.

“It’s okay, Miss Bell. Just tell me directly. What happened?”

Reminded by Evelyn Hart, Clara Bell finally remembered the purpose of her call today.

“Yes. William suddenly came to school today. I thought he was back to attend classes properly, but… but I don’t know what happened. He got into a fight with a classmate. Now the other student’s parents are on their way here. I couldn’t get through to Mr. Miller’s phone, so I had to contact you.”

A fight?

Had William Miller been so spoiled in just a few days of being left unattended?

Evelyn Hart thought expressionlessly and couldn’t help clenching her fists.

“I see. Miss Bell, d

orry. I’ll be at the school in ten minutes.”

After all, William Miller was now obsessed with his “new mom”. Evelyn Hart thought that if she intervened in his affairs again, it would only bring her more trouble and helplessness.

Maybe William Miller wouldn’t even appreciate her efforts and would instead think she was meddling.

But just as Clara Bell had said, Ethan Miller’s phone couldn’t be reached.

This made Evelyn Hart a little annoyed.

She took a deep breath and decided to go to the school herself first and then talk to Ethan Miller later.

After all, William Miller was his son, and he also had the responsibility to discipline him.

Ten minutes later.

Evelyn Hart strode into Clara Bell’s office and immediately saw William Miller sitting in the corner. He had his head lowered, his hands nervously twisted together, and there were still some dry tears and bruises on his face.

As if hearing the approaching footsteps, William Miller instinctively looked up.

“Why are you here? I don’t want you. I want Auntie Leah!”

Evelyn Hart looked at his fierce expression, like a young tiger roaring, and stopped in her tracks with a serious face. Clara Bell beside them looked at the way the mother and son interacted. Remembering what Evelyn Hart had said during their phone call, she felt a little awkward for a moment.

She could probably guess that the reason for Evelyn Hart and Ethan Miller’s divorce was related to the “Auntie Leah” that William Miller mentioned.

She coughed lightly, originally wanting to say something to ease the awkward atmosphere.

But Evelyn Hart was calmer and more composed than she had expected.

“Do you think I want to be here? William Miller, I’m here to clean up your mess. You’d better be quiet and don’t make me lose face again.”

She wasn’t just venting; she was dead serious.

If she hadn’t been unable to reach Ethan Miller and didn’t want to leave Clara Bell waiting, she wouldn’t have come at all.

William Miller was so stunned by Evelyn Hart’s words that he couldn’t speak. He stared at her with wide eyes, looking completely incredulous, as if he couldn’t believe his ears.

In the past, although Evelyn Hart had been strict with him, it was only when she was teaching him something.

This was the first time she had been so cold to him.
