Getting My Ex-wife Back

At the Whalen family house.

“Do you not care about Deanna anymore?” Hannah had been sobbing for more than two hours, and she was still crying.

Rayan’s heart ached for her.

“Everyone, leave.” Tried as he might, he failed to comfort Hannah and stop her from weeping while Zorion stood beside them.

Hearing Rayan’s order, all the servants left. After that, Rayan sat down next to Hannah. “She is my daughter. How could I not want her? But Jacky has stolen her away. I will not let this matter slide.”

Hannah looked up at him, her eyes red from the hours of crying. She couldn’t believe this was the answer she had gotten. Upset, she threw a punch at Rayan’s chest. “Are you trying to upset me to death?”

Zorion furrowed his brows. “It isn’t Deanna’s fault. She has always been naive. I’m to blame.”

“You aren’t any better either. Move out now. I never want to see you at my house ever again. I’m disowning you.”

Rayan’s words stunned Hannah. She had never expected him to do this.

However, Zorion did not leave as he knew they would not kick him out at this moment.

Rayan looked at Zorion. “I won’t let a woman who hurt my daughter marry into our family. There are only two options left for you. Either you leave her or fend for yourself.”

Zorion stood there for a moment without saying a word. After that, he headed towards the stairs. Before he could go up the stairs, Rayan said, “All that you have belongs to me, except for your body. Don’t even think of taking anything else with you.”

“Rayan, why are you doing this?”

Just as Hannah got up to approach Zorion, Rayan said, “Don’t. No one is to stop him if he wants to leave. Now that he has hurt his sister, what’s the point of him staying?”

Hannah slowly turned around, her eyes fixed on her husband. “Rayan, are you being serious right now?

“Depends. I’ve never made such a mistake in my life. He betrayed his sister for the sake of a woman with an unknown background. And now, he wants to sever ties with me for this woman. Why should I keep such a son by my side? Do I look like I’m willing to present him with another chance to irritate me?”

“Zorion is still young, he-”

“He is young, but he isn’t a kid anymore. He has to be responsible for what he’s done.”

“Rayan.”

“Mom.” Zorion went up to Hannah, hugging her. Hannah looked up at her son’s face, which was so much like her husband’s. They were both  stubborn people, especially when it came down to the woman they fancied.

“Don’t worry. I can use this opportunity to learn to be independent and put my skills to the test.”

“Are you sure you can do this alone?”

“It’s okay. I won’t starve to death. Don’t you believe in my capabilities?” Zorion’s eyes were filled steady composure. Rayan swept his eyes over his son unemotionally, but deep down, he was relieved.

He would be bothered if Zorion didn’t have the guts to live on his own.

“Let me accompany you.”

“It’s alright. Stay with Dad. He needs you more than I do.”

Zorion bowed his head and kissed Hannah’s forehead before letting go of her. Then, he looked at Rayan. “I’m not leaving home, but rather, I’m going out to test my capacity. Please take care of yourself and Mom.”

Zorion turned and headed for the door. Rayan wore a smile, thinking, “This child has grown up. He’s ready to take over the family duties.”

“Maybe I should wait until he gets married.”

“It’ll be better if he comes home with a grandchild next time.”

At the thought of Rossie’s age, Rayan was a little worried that giving birth to a child at such a young age would be detrimental to her health.

Hannah was still perturbed about her son. She hurriedly followed him and called out to him.

“Zorion! Zorion!”

Zorion looked back at his mother, who had followed him out and came up to him. He was not downcast. Instead, his lips were curled upwards. “Mom, why did you come out?”

“Your father is not kicking you out,” Hannah said. Zorion then replied, “I’m aware of that. Now that I’ve decided to leave, I can’t go back. I’m a man. How can a man go back on his word? Rest assured that I will be fine.”

“My new semester will start next week, and I can stay at the dormitory. Everything will be alright. There are some clothes in my apartment too.”

“Do you really think so?” Hannah was surprised; she did not expect that her son was going to continue his studies.

“Of course, I haven’t graduated yet. Society needs competent people. I can’t lose to others at the starting line.”

Hannah stared at her son. “It’s great that you understand this, I’m afraid that you-”

“Don’t be afraid. I am you and Dad’s son. I’ll never leave this family.”

Zorion’s words made Hannah shed tears again.

When she was young, she had never thought of herself to be this vulnerable and would shed tears at the slightest matter.

Her son had really grown up.

“Alright then, I’m leaving. Mom, remember to call me if anything happens.”

“Okay, take good care of yourself.”

“I will. I have been taking care of Deanna for years – isn’t she doing just fine?”

Gazing at his son, Hannah finally nodded.

Zorion looked up at the villa before he turned and walked to the door.

He was no longer the young master of the Whalen family, and he did not have a car. Thus, he got to the bus stop by foot. Then, he took a bus to the entrance of Elkton University.

Hannah turned around, only to see Rayan standing with his arms behind him at the door. Afterward, she returned to his side and let him hold her in his arms.

“They’re adults now. They have to learn to stand on their own two feet, Deanna included. If we always keep them under our protection, they won’t be able to survive in this world when we leave.”

“The upcoming difficulties are nothing. Only when they fall will they know their mistakes and learn their lesson.”

“We can’t teach them through our own experiences. They need to learn these things by themselves.”

Hannah gazed at her husband. “But Deanna is pregnant. She’s going to have a baby soon. She needs someone to look after her.”

“We’ll talk about that when she’s in labor.”

Rayan had to be cruel. He was her father, but he had pampered her for too many years. It was time for his daughter to grow up.

Despite the countless incidents, Deanna still continued to turn a blind eye to them, refusing to grow up. He hoped that she would be able to learn something from Jacky this time.

After seeing Jepherson off, Raeleigh went back to her parents. Entering the tiny living room, she saw Rosie sitting inside. At the sight of Raeleigh, she stood up from the sofa. Raeleigh was shocked to see Rossie. She had an inkling that something was going to happen as she walked over. “Why are you here? Why didn’t you leave with Zorion?”Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Rossie shot a glance inside the house. “Could you let me stay the night?”

Raeleigh stood rooted to the spot, and her mind went blank.

Stay the night?
