Chapter 1914
Malvolio looked at Eira in puzzlement. "You...what is that?”
Eira opened the bag. "Malvolio, look.”
The bag was filled with shiny gold and silver jewelry. Malvolio immediately thought of something. "Eira! Tell me, did you do something bad out there?”
Eira smiled. "Malvolio, why don't you try and think. Even if I wanted to do bad things, where can I go to do it? If I wanted to rob a jewelry store, how can I do it when I am still at such a young age?”
Malvolio thought that it made sense. After all, his sister was still a child. He softened his tone and asked, "Then, where did you get all this jewelry? Are these real? They are toys, right?"
Eira shook her head. "No, my dad...Delmont was the one who had given these to me.”
Eira’s mother spoke up, trembling and in tears. " Malvolio, Malvolio, you absolutely can't let that d*mn man snatch your sister away. You have to listen to me. I am not crazy. I am not crazy. Do you believe me, my son?
"Back then...back then when that man wanted to divorce me, your sister was still at the age when she needed formula powder. I had no money to raise your sister, so I begged him to either give me more living expenses or take Eira away. This way, at least the child would not suffer. However, do you know what that man says? He refused! He said if he were to take Eira with him, it would affect his alone time with that woman. He said he and that woman wanted to have a child of their own. If he were to bring Eira over, then what would she be?”
Speaking of that, Eirwen cried so hard that she was barely able to speak. "At that time, he had just been separated from the child. The child was still so young, but he was not willing to take her in. Now, he suddenly came back and wanted to take her child away? He certainly doesn't have any good intentions. Also, Malvolio, I saw it in the papers two days ago that the thing of that d*mned man, Delmont, his fashion company had been carrying many unexplained financial burdens because they had failed to be listed. His company may be going bankrupt. That means he is not going to be that rich anymore in the future, so why did he come to forcefully take Eira away?” What their mother said made Malvolio and Eira shocked. The two siblings realized very clearly that their mother was not crazy. Their mother truly was not crazy. She was just so angry with Delmont that she had lost her mind. She did not know why Delmont wanted to forcefully take Eira away to raise her.
However, she knew that Delmont must not have good intentions. She knew that as a weak woman without any income and the ability to survive if she truly wanted to fight Delmont for custody, she certainly would be fighting a losing battle. That was why Eirwen became so infuriated that she appeared to be crazy. However, only she knew best that she was not crazy. 1
After hearing his mother's tearful complaints, Malvolio looked at the gold and silver jewelry in his sister's hands again, and he no longer doubted that these things were obtained in an illegitimate manner.
He was so angry that he punched the door. ”D*mned Delmont Don't think that I, Malvolio Yeatman, am easy to mess with. If I become desperate, I will kill him! " Malvolio snatched that bag of gold and silver jewelry from his sister's hands and wanted to rush out.
"Malvolio!" Eira called out. "What are you up to?”
Malvolio turned. "Even if we were to die of poverty, starvation, or to be frozen to death, we absolutely will not take a single penny from Delmont! With just this bit of gold and silver jewelry kind of benefits, he can't snatch you away! Mom and I will not let you go to the Stevens family!”
After he said that, Malvolio suddenly realized something. He looked at Eira with a glum expression. "Eira, your...your father is very rich. You want to live with your father, and not with me and Mom, right?” Malvolio's tone was sorrowful.
