Chapter 359: Chapter 338: My wife doesn’t want me anymore, I have to be a bachelor now

A family reunion?

These four words deeply stabbed Cathy’s heart. She had a child with her sworn enemy, and now she was talking about a family reunion? How could her deceased parents rest in peace if they knew this?

"Roy, Mommy works here, so I can’t go back with you. But if you want to stay, Mommy is definitely willing!"

As she spoke, Cathy’s gaze intentionally or unintentionally flicked towards Oliver Thompson, trying to glean some clues from his expression.

She loved him, so despite everything that had happened, she didn’t think of taking revenge or getting anything back from him.

But being together was forever impossible, even if he refused to divorce!

However, if he was willing to let her have the child, that would be the best outcome for both of them!

This possibility seemed slim, but she still made her suggestion following her son’s words.

"If Roy stays, can Daddy stay too?"

Children’s worlds are always immature, always expecting a complete and happy family!

"Daddy has to work, so Daddy needs to..." Before he could finish saying "return," Oliver Thompson’s lazy voice reached her ears.

"Who said I have to work?" He fixed his eyes deeply on her, but his face was clearly not looking very good. His hand habitually reached for a cigarette, but stopped when he caught sight of the two children in the corner of his eye.

"My wife doesn’t want me anymore, and I’m going to be a bachelor. So, what’s the point in working?"

Cathy: "..."

Was it her not wanting him?

It had always been him pushing her away, but saying this now seemed pointless!

"Oliver Thompson, don’t say such things in front of the children!" Cathy noticed that her son’s calm face had changed, and she could hardly hold back her anger.

"Shouldn’t I say that?" Oliver Thompson apparently didn’t take her words to heart and continued with self-indulgence. "But our son already knows you’re going to abandon me. On the way here, he asked me if Mommy was leaving Daddy to find a new Daddy!"

"Oliver Thompson, shut up!"

How much of a blow would these words be to a six-year-old child? Didn’t he know that?

This man was as ruthless as ever, always dismissive of those he didn’t care about!

Had he never considered their son as his own?

It was already bad enough that he was indifferent before, but now he said such words in front of their son!

Roy was always thoughtful. What would happen when he started thinking and sulking alone in the future? Would Oliver not feel heartache?

"Bianca, take Little Brother to visit your Princess Room!"

Seeing the situation between the two becoming somewhat awkward, Ivy Aretha quickly motioned for Bianca to take Roy away, "After the tour, you can take him to visit Aunt Cathy and Uncle Thompson’s room, and then let him pick his favorite guest room to stay in!"

"OK, Mommy!"

Bianca was immediately excited at the prospect of Roy visiting her room. The Princess Room that Michael Gordon had designed for her was her favorite place. She’d taken many photos to show her classmates, boasting about it!

She wished everyone knew about the beautiful room her Daddy had created for her.

With that, she bounced over to Roy and politely extended her hand, "Little Brother, let me show you around our house!"

Seeing the fair and chubby little hand reaching towards him, Roy glanced at her before looking deeply at Cathy, as if seeking her opinion.

"You go with Bianca and take a look at the rooms in Uncle Gordon’s house."

"Mommy won’t run away, right?"

Because of the last time when his mother left while he was asleep, he had developed a shadow in his heart, so he still had some doubts.

"Mommy promises she won’t!"

Only after getting her assurance did Roy extend his own hand, clasping the one Bianca offered, and followed her upstairs. The four adults watched them go hand in hand, and they couldn’t help but exclaim at the sight: such a perfect golden boy and jade girl!

"So the Thompson family’s Little Roy gets charmed by our Little Princess just like that?"

Michael Gordon raised an eyebrow at Ivy, his gaze full of triumph. His beloved daughter was certainly magnanimous and charming. The cool and aloof little boy was not someone ordinary people could handle. According to Oliver Thompson, the little girls in kindergarten who offered him candy were frightened to tears by his cold expression!

But his daughter could win him over in a matter of minutes!

What a delightful thing!

"Oliver Thompson, Roy is your son after all. How could you say such things in front of him? Aren’t you afraid he’ll be heartbroken?"

Watching her son fade from her sight, Cathy finally looked at Oliver Thompson and spoke angrily, though her voice was still quite low, afraid her words could reach the children upstairs. "You are his biological father!"

"I know you haven’t cheated, so of course the child is mine. I’m aware of that!"

Compared to Cathy’s furious expression, Oliver Thompson seemed much more relaxed, appearing leisurely and self-indulgent, as if not taking his own words seriously. "In order to conceive him, I put in efforts for many nights, so you don’t need to remind me that he’s my biological son!"

Cathy: "..."

She was really at a loss for words at this point. But this wasn’t the focus of their conversation. The point was, he couldn’t say she didn’t want him in front of their child, rather than whose the child was!

Although she was furious, Cathy couldn’t help but recall the nights when she had pleaded for his agreement to have a child after they were married—those intimate moments. Feeling embarrassed, she couldn’t help blushing, especially when there were two other people present.

They hadn’t married for love but because of her wishes as the heiress of the Harrison family, who had then forced him into marriage. So, after their wedding, in his words, he had only fulfilled his husbandly duties and never considered having a child with her!

During that time, they were intimate almost every night but never gave a chance for conception to occur!

Eventually, when she went for a checkup, the doctor warned her that long-term use of contraceptives had made her body somewhat allergic and even showed signs of infertility. Panicked, she found an excuse to stay with her family for a while and then went on a trip to recuperate.

After regaining her health, she considered the tragedy of her life if she couldn’t even have a child, so she became fearful and eventually asked him for a child!
