The Abandoned Baby Who Was Raised For Many Years Met His Biological Mother Novel Cover

The Abandoned Baby Who Was Raised For Many Years Met His Biological Mother

After years of grueling work, I supported my husband’s supposedly "abandoned" roadside baby through a doctoral program abroad. But instead of gratitude, he mockingly demands a divorce to reunite with his secret lover and the son he loves more than our own. Believing he has outsmarted me, he expects devastation. Instead, I simply smile and agree to let them go. He has no idea that his betrayal is met not with tears, but with my own quiet, calculated satisfaction.

Chapter 3

The news that I nurtured an abandoned baby had spread.

A TV reporter came to me and wanted to interview me.

I declined, but they said that society was too impetuous nowadays and we needed to promote virtues like me.

I said they should interview my husband, because he picked up the child and he was a great man.

After being reminded, the reporter became interested and immediately went to find Alvin.

Alvin said with positive energy that anyone who encountered such a thing would not ignore it, otherwise, it would be a loss of conscience.

The reporter asked, “I heard that you are a busy man. How could you just pick up a child on the road? Where did you pick him up? Was there anyone else at the scene?”

The reporter also mentioned a key question. “You couldn’t just take an abandoned baby home casually. You should report it to the police as soon as possible. You, Mr. Hartley, must know that.”

The reporter’s questioning made Alvin panic.

However, he was a person who had experienced the scene, after all. After calming down a little, he found a very appropriate wording to deal with the reporter.

After knowing this, I chuckled in my heart.

The truth would come out someday.

You think you were very smart, but you were too smart to be smart. You would not even be able to cry when the time came.

Hadie passed the doctoral exam after graduating from university.

To celebrate his child’s academic success, Alvin held a banquet in the best restaurant in the city and invited everyone he could.

Some people who attended the banquet said that he was blessed and some said that he was lucky.

How could it be such a coincidence that he picked up a child on the street, who was very talented in learning and had a doctorate degree. He was so proud.

This was a gift from God to Alvin.

Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate him.

Alvin was drunk.

When he returned home at night, under the stimulation of alcohol, he, who never sang, hummed a little song in front of me.

It seemed like a declaration of victory.

I woke up in the middle of the night and found that he was still awake. He was holding a mobile phone and whispering in the quilt, “Baby, you are so great. Only you can give birth to such an awesome son.”

I smiled silently again.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for Hadie to graduate with a doctorate.

Tomorrow was the day when Hadie returned to Afranta.

Alvin prepared the welcoming banquet early and it was still in the best restaurant in the city.

The night before the welcoming banquet, Alvin opened the drawer, pointed to a thick envelope inside and said, “Ashley, you will not let your efforts in vain over the years. We will give you a surprise tomorrow.”

We? Was that her finally going to show up?

The corners of my mouth curled up. “Oh, really? I also have a surprise for you, which must be bigger than yours.”

Alvin didn’t understand what I meant.

When he asked, I answered, “No hurry, it’s meaningless to say it now.”

The game had reached the final stage and it was time to reveal the answer.

At noon the next day, the welcoming banquet officially began.

Everyone was there.

The guests who attended the banquet were all well-known figures, including two TV reporters who had interviewed Alvin.

Alvin walked to the front desk, picked up the microphone and had a confident smile on his face.

“Today is a double happy day for our Hartley family. Thank you all for coming to support us. I have prepared a beautiful gift for everyone.”

The atmosphere became lively when they heard about the gift.

Everyone was excited.

However, there were more doubts.

Someone asked loudly, “Mr. Hartley, we know that the abandoned baby you picked up has achieved academic success. It is a great joy to welcome the doctor back today. I just don’t know where the other joy comes from?”
