Steady Heat of Love
Chapter 2
"Jonathan, you knew that there were only Celia and me at home, but you still called me out. Didn't you know that Margaret just wanted to embarrass me?" I asked Jonathan angrily.
A trace of guilt flashed across Jonathan's face.
He explained, "She's still young. She didn't know what she was doing. Besides, it's her birthday today. Don't hold it against her, OK?"
But I said to him, "Jonathan, you remember that today is her birthday. Then do you remember today is also my birthday?
"Why she can be treated like a princess while I have to be humiliated by you like this?"
When Jonathan heard this, a blank look appeared on his face, and then he became guilty.
He stepped forward and hugged me and Celia. "I'm sorry. It won't happen again!
"Let's celebrate your birthday again tomorrow, OK? Honey?"
Later, we both never mentioned that matter again.
However, I could never forget it. As time went on, my grievance grew bigger. At this moment, it finally burst out, making me feel extremely painful in my heart.
Now, Jonathan was holding the La Mer Skincare Set that Margaret had given him. I felt like the box was laughing at me, who was a complete fool.
"Jonathan, do you think I'm not as good as Margaret?
"Why did you tell her my personal affairs?"
Jonathan stood up irritably and frowned.
"Can you stop being so unreasonable? I've known Maggie since childhood. She's not as scheming as you think. I worked hard in the company, yet I still have to face your complaints when I get home. I'm so tired..."
Suddenly, I didn't want to argue with him anymore. I felt that it was so boring.
Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, Jonathan thought that this matter had finally come to an end.
He asked me, "Do you know which school Ivan will go to after he graduates from kindergarten?"
"I don't know!"
Back then, I had twins. However, my son, Ivan, was taken away by the Holt family the moment he was born.
They said that Ivan was the future head of the Holt family, and if they let me raise Ivan, he would eventually become a nobody.
If I hadn't threatened them with my life, they would have taken Celia away too.
From Ivan's birth until now, the number of times I had seen him was less than ten.
Celia grew up by my side. Because of this, the Holt family' also disliked Celia very much.
Jonathan said to me, "Stop being jealous and pay more attention to your son.
"Maggie knows that Ivan is about to attend primary school, and she has even prepared a gift for him. As Ivan's mother, you are really..."
At this moment, I really wanted to ask Jonathan, "Do you think I don't care about my own son?"
In the past few years, I kept blaming myself and being so worried about Ivan that I couldn't sleep all night. As a result, I lost a lot of hair and even suffered from depression.
A few days ago, I went to the Holt's mansion to inquire about Ivan's matter, but they didn't even let me enter.
They said to me, "Ivan is the Harrison family's child. But you're just nobody. He doesn't need your concern."
I went to Ivan's kindergarten to wait for him, but I was dragged out by the Holt family's bodyguards in front of everyone.
In the end, I managed to find a way to let the teacher pass on a message, but Ivan ran out and pointed at my nose.
He yelled at me, "Get lost, you lowly woman! You're not my mother!"
I was the one who gave birth to Ivan. But because of the deliberate connivance of the Holt family, I seemed to have become his enemy.
"Jonathan, let's divorce!"
I sighed softly and said something that I had long wanted to say to him.
Hearing my words, Jonathan looked at me in surprise. After a long while, he looked me up and down and pointed at me.
"You want to divorce me? You?
"Please, Wendy, you're almost 30 years old. You're not an 18-year-old girl. Don't be so childish, OK?
"You have no money and no job. Where else can you go after leaving me?
"I'm very busy every day. I'm really not interested in playing some games with you."
