Chapter 3

I've long been accustomed to Alexander's contempt.

He turned around and closed the door, ignoring the angry look behind him.

I must get a divorce.

Being a coward for thirty years.

I also want to see the outside world like Isabella.

After Alexander left, I drove to the law firm.

A new divorce agreement was drafted.

I was delayed for some time on the way, so when I came back, I bought myself an ice cream.

The sweet taste spreads in the mouth.

My whole mood also improved.

Even after seeing LeoSophia make a mess in the room.

It didn't affect my good mood at all.

But the two children were unhappy.

Leo looked at me angrily, "Bad mother, you cheated!"

Sophia followed closely and shouted, "I want ice cream too!"

I swallowed the last bite with an indifferent expression.

"If you want to eat, let your new mother buy it for you."

LeoSophia paused, stamped her feet in anger, and then burst into tears.

"You're a private bad mother, I hate you!"

"Give me back my ice cream, or I will never forgive you!"

As they spoke, they both spit at me.

Their ferocious appearance is completely different from the two well-behaved and cute little kids in my memory.

I suddenly felt extremely ironic.

I thought that by sacrificing myself I could allow my two children to grow up healthy and happy.

But forgot.

How can a family that does not respect its mother raise children who respect their mother?

Alexander's contempt and indifference.

The child that I risked my life to give birth to has become a sharp knife that stabs me.

I sighed softly.

Return to the room and pack your luggage.

When I walked into the bedroom, I saw that all my clothes and bags were covered with bright red paint.

Leo stepped viciously on my photo.

"Bad mom, I hate you!"

Looking at the ferocious villain.

I didn't feel any sadness in my heart.

It seems that all emotions have been exhausted in the long negotiations.

He sighed and left alone.

As I reached the stairs, I felt a push from behind me.

I fell down uncontrollably, blood gushing out.

When I raised my head tremblingly.

What he saw was LeoSophia's provocative look.

"You deserve it, for not giving me ice cream."

Sophia was holding a vase in her hand, like a demon from hell.

"Mom, why aren't you dead? If you were dead, Aunt Isabella could be our new mother."

As he spoke, the vase fell and exploded beside me.

The loud noise finally made Alexander walk out of the study.

He frowned as he looked at the mess on the ground, and finally his gaze fell on me who was covered in blood.

"Elena, what are you doing again?"

Before I could answer, LeoSophia suddenly cried and threw herself into Alexander's arms.

"Dad, Mom is bad. She doesn't let us eat ice cream and even beats us."

"We were scared and wanted to hide, but she fell down by herself..."

“Elena!”

Alexander was completely furious.

"What do you want to do?"

"LeoSophia is your own flesh and blood. You hurt two innocent children just to compete with Isabella for her favor. Are you still a human being?"

"You want a divorce, right? Fine, let's get a divorce now. You are not worthy of being the mother of my child!"

Alexander hugged LeoSophia in anger.

He threw the document at hand into my face.

I clenched my fists silently.
