Chapter 4
I felt that James would be overjoyed. After all, he loved Nov Collins so much.
Even though she abandoned him for a rich guy seven years ago, he still loved her.
He loved her to the core.
As for me, the wife that stood by his side as he started his own company, was just an object that could satisfy his needs.
He would wave at me when he needed me and would give me the silent treatment when he didn’t.
However, he was the one who begged me to marry him all those years back.
Why did he treat me like this after I agreed to marry him?
I felt that I had been a fool as well.
He probably begged me to marry him because of the money that I had.
He would no longer need me after he got the money. Therefore, he had lost his patience with me as well
“Mom…” Laura suddenly woke up.
I felt that she was very uncomfortable because her voice was like a whisper.
I got rid of all the thoughts in my head and went to the side of the bed to comfort her.
“How do you feel, sweetheart? Do you still feel sick?”
“Not anymore.” Laura shook her head. “Where’s Dad?”
I caressed her soft hair and lied, “He’s gone to work.”
Coincidentally, as soon as I finished speaking, James came home with Brenda in his arms.
Brenda held a doll in her hand and rushed to the door of my room as she said proudly, “My dad bought this for me.
Seeing the disappointed look in Laura’s eyes, I clenched my fists and tried my best to stay calm.
“Laura, your dad has prepared a birthday present for you as well. I’ll go get it for you.”
Laura’s eyes lit up immediately and nodded her head joyfully. “Thank you, Mom.”
I stood up, walked to the cupboard, took out the birthday present that I bought for Laura and placed it in her hand.
“See if you like it, baby.”
