The Don's Orphan Wife Is A Mafia Empire Princess (Elara) novel Chapter 19

Chapter 8 Her Determination

Upon hearing this, Evelyn Hart felt a pang in her heart. She never expected Ethan Miller to evaluate her like this.

Instantly, Evelyn Hart’s eyes turned extremely cold, and the disappointment and anger in her gaze towards Ethan Miller were hard to hide.

“Ethan Miller, who do you think you are to criticize me like this?”

Looking at Ethan Miller’s indifferent face, Evelyn Hart could recall every detail of the past seven years with a single

blink.

Ethan Miller always said he was too busy with work to spend time with her and William Miller.

She played both the roles of mother and father, striving to create a complete family atmosphere for William Miller. At the same time, she worried that William Miller would grow distant from his father, so she constantly told him stories

about Ethan Miller.

If it weren’t for her efforts to mediate and maintain the family bond, the relationship between William Miller and

Ethan Miller would never have been as harmonious as it was.

“Before you teach me how to be a mother, you’d better reflect on whether you’re a competent father!”

Evelyn Hart sneered, her eyes full of sarcasm as she looked at Ethan Miller.

“What gives you the audacity to question me like this?”

Ethan Miller grew impatient with her sarcastic tone.

“Yes, I may have been absent from William’s upbringing, but I’m doing my best to make up for it. Over the years, have I ever skimped on anything for you and William in terms of material things? Evelyn Hart, that’s just how life is. You

can’t have it all!”

As soon as Ethan Miller finished speaking, the air seemed to freeze, and the room fell into a brief silence.

Evelyn Hart repeated his words mockingly. “Have it all? Heh.”

She was too tired to argue with Ethan Miller any further and turned to Clara Bell. “Since there are people here to handle this now, I’ll be leaving.”

Ethan Miller frowned.

“Where are you going? The matter isn’t resolved yet, and you want to leave? You don’t care about William at all?”

Evelyn Hart turned around and gave Leah Foster a sarcastic look.

“Aren’t there people here worrying about William? With you, Leah Foster, and Miss Bell, can’t you handle such a simple matter? As for me, I have my own things to attend to. After all, life isn’t just about one child, right?”

Her tone was calm, but Ethan Miller felt a sudden tightness in his chest, a strange sense of panic welling up inside

him.

er bag and leave, Ethan Miller quickly said, “Evelyn Hart, you can’t be this irresponsible!”

Evelyn Hart slightly turned her head but didn’t stop walking.

“Save those words for yourself.”

She walked quickly and disappeared from the office door in no time, leaving the others in the office looking at each

other in bewilderment.

Lying on Ethan Miller’s shoulder, William Miller looked tearfully in the direction Evelyn Hart had gone and sobbed, “Dad, is she really not going to care about me anymore?”

Ethan Miller pursed his lips with a complex expression and remained silent.

He didn’t believe that Evelyn Hart would just leave like that, but her actions just now made him feel an indescribable sense of unease. However, on the surface, he still pretended not to care.

“Let her go. She’s just putting on an act. She used to worry about everything related to you. There’s no way she’d really abandon you.”

His words were nonchalant. William Miller sniffled and lowered his head onto his shoulder, and it was hard to tell if

he believed it or not.

Clara Bell, witnessing this scene, remembered how anxious Evelyn Hart had been when she first arrived and felt

indignant.

As a teacher, she couldn’t interfere in her students’ family affairs. But because of her profession of educating and nurturing children, she understood Evelyn Hart’s intentions.

If William Miller’s behavior wasn’t corrected, he would surely go down the wrong path.

She had no objection to Evelyn Hart’s way of handling the situation. She had thought the matter would be resolved smoothly, but unexpectedly, things took a turn.

Looking at this strange trio, Clara Bell couldn’t help but shake her head. She had a feeling this matter was going to get a lot more complicated.

Only Leah Foster noticed the absent-mindedness of the father and son. A hint of unwillingness flashed in her eyes. Then she reached out and took William Miller from Ethan Miller’s arms.

“William, don’t be afraid. Even if your mom doesn’t care about you now, you still have Auntie Leah. Let Auntie Leah see, does it hurt badly?”

William Miller was startled when Leah Foster suddenly picked him up, but then he felt the warmth emanating from her, which made him feel a bit more at ease. Blinking his eyes with tears still in them, he said softly, “Auntie Leah, won’t you be mad at me for fighting?”

Leah Foster gently touched William Miller’s face with a lovingly pained expression. “Of course not! Little boys your age are full of energy. Fights are quite common. Don’t be scared, William. It’s not as serious as your mom said.”

Then she looked up at Ethan Miller with a worried look.

“Ethan, I think you should have a good talk with Dr. Hart. It doesn’t matter if she has a problem with me, but today, when something happened to William, she was so harsh. She must be taking her anger out on William because of me. Look at how scared William is. After all, she’s William’s mother. This can’t go on like this; it’s not good for William.”

As she spoke, her expression turned dimmer, and she let out a bitter laugh before lowering her head.

“If she really minds, I… I can stay away from you and William.”

Ethan Miller, who had been hesitant because of Evelyn Hart’s resolute attitude, frowned upon hearing this. Without thinking, he firmly refused. “No need. If she wants to act up, let her!”

Seeing that Ethan N

quickly tried to so

had regained his resolve and even sounded angry, Leah Foster breathed a sigh of relief and his emotions. “Ethan, don’t say that about Dr. Hart.”

Evelyn Hart had no idea what happened after she left. If she knew how manipulative Leah Foster was being, she would probably be too angry to eat.

To celebrate finally getting away from that “father-son” duo and that two-faced woman, Evelyn Hart called her friend right after leaving the school.

The two hit it off immediately and met at a restaurant in the city center.

The restaurant was elegantly decorated and had a warm ambiance. Soft lights illuminated each wooden dining table, which was adorned with delicate cutlery and flowers. The enticing aroma of food filled the air, making their mouths

water.

They found a table by the window. Even during the day, the view outside was charming. Sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains, casting dappled shadows on them, adding a lazy and cozy touch to the meal.

The waiter approached with a smile and handed them the menu.

Evelyn Hart took the menu and ordered several signature dishes according to her friend Sophia Bennett’s taste. “It’s so sweet of Dr. Hart to remember my favorite dishes,” Sophia Bennett said, looking at Evelyn Hart closing the menu and handing it to the waiter. She let out a playful snort, her tone teasing, but the corners of her mouth were upturned, and her eyes sparkled with amusement.
