Walking Away While Pregnant: Dear Ex-Husband, I Don't Love You Anymore novel Chapter 172

Chapter 172: Chapter 172

Seeing Jessica move to take Robin away, panic seized Fleur immediately.

"Where are you taking my son?! Robin! Robin, don’t leave! I’m your mother! I have nothing left in this world except you... Robin!"

Fleur shrieked at the top of her lungs, wailing as though she were genuinely a heartbroken mother terrified of losing her child.

Elise looked on with cold eyes. Her love for Robin was entirely fake, but her fear of losing him was genuine. After all, Robin was her golden ticket to staying relevant in the Bennett family. Without him, how could she keep playing the victim to get Dylan’s sympathy?

Yet no matter how convincing her performance was, it no longer had any effect on the boy. Robin refused to raise his head from Jessica’s chest, Fleur’s frantic cries sounding like nothing more than the shrieks of a phantom in his ears.

Nearby, Lily squeezed Robin’s tiny hand tightly. Though frightened by the chaos herself, she kept whispering gentle words of comfort to him. Innocent children had no place in a mess like this.

Without a second thought, Jessica escorted both children out of the courtyard.

Watching Robin disappear, Fleur let out an agonizing, earth-shattering cry. "Robin! Robin, come back! Mommy already lost your father... I can’t lose you too!"

After seeing the same dramatic routine played out so many times, it ceased to be tragic and simply became absurd.

Elise withdrew her gaze and turned to Mrs. Shaw. "I just forwarded two photos to your messenger. Print them out for me and hand them to Fleur."

Mrs. Shaw pulled out her phone and tapped into the app.

As the photos loaded on her screen, her eyes widened in shock. She snapped her head up to stare at Elise. "T-this... is this for real?!"

Elise gave her a faint nod.

"God above—Fleur, you deserve to get struck by lightning!" Mrs. Shaw’s fingers flew across her screen, then she called inside. "Nina, head in and grab the papers. I just sent them to the printer!"

"On it!" Nina trotted back into the building.

Mrs. Shaw stepped over to Elise, peeking at her phone. "Are you really streaming this live?!"

"Of course," Elise said softly. "Don’t worry, none of you are on camera."

Overhearing their exchange, Fleur broke down completely.

"Elise, what on earth do you want from me?! You’re driving me into an early grave!"

"You did this to yourself, Fleur," Elise replied, her voice dropping to an icy tone. "Ever since you came back to the country, I’ve told you more than once: I don’t care what you and Dylan do, but stay out of my way.

"Yet you insisted on picking fights with me over and over. I don’t have patience for games, so if you keep ruining my peace, don’t expect me to hold back!"

Just then, Nina ran out of the guesthouse holding two fresh sheets of paper. "Mrs. Shaw, here they are!"

"Hand them to Miss Bonnaire," Elise instructed.

Nina marched up to Fleur. "Here, take a look for yourself! And you had the nerve to claim you’re Robin’s real mother? Disgusting!"

She tossed the printouts down right in front of Fleur.
