Chapter 2

Seeing that I came alone, they didn't care about what I was holding.

They didn't even care about my arrival.

Reeva, with a dark face, asked me, "Why did you come alone?"

"What else?"

I stared indifferently at Reeva. "Do you expect me to bring a gigolo like you do, to wish your mother a happy birthday?"

"Ben!"

My words just made Reeva upset. She gave me a serious look and told me, "I've already reminded you, bring our son to sincerely wish my mother a happy birthday. Don't make me feel embarrassed! And now you're giving me a blank expression, you're purposely trying to make me feel uncomfortable, right?"

Facing Reeva's anger, I laughed. "You shameless person. Do you know what embarrassment is?"

"Ben, have you had enough? I am Arlo's mother!"

Reeva yelled at me with a cold face.

Mother?

Was she even qualified to call herself that?

Did she know the weight of that word?

She had no idea!

I looked indifferently at Reeva, my heart aching.

As a woman, she disregarded her family and children, openly mingling with her gigolo all day, and for a dog, she didn't care about her son's life or death!

Even though our son had been dead for two days, she still didn't know!

She was not worthy!

She was really not fit to be a mother!

I looked indifferently at Reeva and said word by word, "You are not qualified to be Arlo's mother!"

The people of the Bell family were shocked to see me retort like this.

In the past, I was too accommodating to Reeva for the sake of this family.

As a result, in their eyes, I was a weak and submissive lamb at their mercy.

But now our son was gone.

My last shred of nostalgia no longer existed. I no longer needed to endure!

"Ben, as a man, how can you be so petty?"

Reeva's dream boy, Lewis, took the opportunity to mock me, saying, "You knew that Mrs. Bell likes Arlo the most.

"But you are so jealous of me that you deliberately didn't let Arlo attend Mrs. Bell's birthday.

"Your behavior is really despicable!

"No wonder even Reeva thinks you're embarrassing!"

His words immediately drew more disgusted glances from the Bell family towards me.

"Hmph!"

Reeva's mother, with a blue face, snorted indifferently. "A bad apple spoils the whole barrel.

"After Arlo's middle school graduation, he will face the more crucial college entrance examination.

"If we continue to let Arlo stay with such a morally inferior person, it will definitely hold him back!

"I think it's better to have Arlo live with me in the future. Unless it's something important, don't let Arlo meet him again to avoid being led astray!"

Reeva's sister also said with contempt, "Exactly, look at Lewis. He knew it was my mother's birthday and came early in the morning to help around the house. He's so considerate.

"And you, as the son-in-law of the Bell family, arrived late on such an important day.

"And you even put on a deadpan face as soon as you walked in the door. Isn't that too much?

"I think you are deliberately trying to ruin my mother's birthday!

"It seems to me that Lewis is the son-in-law of our Bell family, and you are just a pile of trash!"

Hearing these words, I felt a chill in my heart.

After being married for so many years, I knew that my family background could not match the Bell family. I was always caring for Reeva's mother and was the first to rush to any family matter.

However, my efforts were not met with approval from the Bell family but with more ruthless ridicule.

Layla was dissatisfied with me as her son-in-law, and Reeva's sister always looked down on me.

She couldn't wait to announce a change of brother-in-law on the spot!

After all these years of giving, what I got was this indifference and ridicule. I was too naive at the beginning!

I looked indifferently at Reeva's mother and sister and said, "Since you want to change me, I might as well take this opportunity to announce that I'm divorcing Reeva to fulfill your wishes!"

"Ben, have you gone mad enough!?"

Reeva banged the table and yelled, "Why do you have to make a scene here and ruin my mother's birthday? Can't you just voice your complaints at home?"

"So what?" I looked directly at Reeva and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you that I came here today to embarrass you!"

"You... you bastard!" Reeva completely exploded, pointing at me and yelling, "I order you to bring my son over right now, and then get out of here. You're not welcome here anymore!"

"Hehe..."

I gave a dry smile and put the urn I was holding on the table. "Your son is here!"

"Huh?" Reeva looked at me in confusion, then at the urn covered with cloth. "Ben, don't joke with me. Where is my son?"

Layla also looked around and then outside the door. "Where is Arlo? Is he hiding outside?"

Seeing them looking around, I directly lifted the cloth on the urn. "You don't need to look anymore. Arlo is here!"

With a rustle...

As I lifted the cloth and the urn appeared, everyone's faces changed dramatically...
