She scolded them viciously, then sell deprecatingly smiled. Im alan laughing at myself for believing that people like you could have any real emotion
“Did I tell you to believe me no matter what and not verify anything? Alexander, look at me. We once loved each other so much. Even if I named her, what’s the big deal? She’s just a marriage partner, just a nanny Why are you treating me like this because of her?”
Benjamin wanted to refute, but he didn’t know how to argue. He could only look helplessly at Alexander, hoping he would show him the way.
“She’s not just a marriage partner, and she’s definitely not a nanny.”
“Right, don’t you dare speak of mom like that!”
Alexander instinctively retorted to Olivia’s words. After he spoke, Benjamin also followed suit, his tone filled with indignation.
But when they saw the mixture of surprise and mockery in Olivia’s eyes, the father and son suddenly realized.
These were the very words they had used to describe Isabella in the past.
Yes, those were the words they had once used themselves. But now, hearing them from someone else, they both felt inexplicably uncomfortable,
“Alexander, don’t tell me you’re actually saying that you really love Isabella now? And you, Benjamin, are pretending to be a good son here? Do you think everyone has forgotten how you said on your birthday that Isabella was just a nanny, and that you and your dad were the real couple?”
Alexander felt a vague confusion in his heart. Had he really fallen in love with Isabella?
Looking again at Benjamin, who was equally confused, he opened his mouth but remained silent in the
end.
“No… it’s not like that…” Benjamin’s voice carried a sob, tears welling up in his eyes. He looked up at Alexander, seeking his approval. “I was just deceived by you! It was your lie that made us think mom was bullying you, and that’s why we hated her!”
At first, his words were hesitant, but gradually they became more confident. His emotions rose again, and

After a long search with no results, Benjamin pouted and tugged at Alexander’s mit sleeve, looking the he was on the verge of tears. Alexander, however, was too overwhelmed by his own confusion to conten
him.
His mind was a tangled mess. He didn’t know what to do or what he should have done. All he could do was repeatedly dial the number on his phone, the one without a name saved.
But the call didn’t go through.
She had blocked him.
Alexander watched the call end after a robotic female voice. He stared at the number, which, after several attempts, had become painfully familiar.
Just then, his phone rang. Alexander first looked at the screen excitedly, but when he saw that the caller ID was “Grandpa,” his excitement turned to disappointment.
Grandfather had no idea what was going on. His calm voice asked, “Has Isabella left?”
Alexander remained silent for a long time before finally responding.
Even if he didn’t answer, his grandfather already knew the answer in his heart.
It had been exactly a month since the contract ended, and the uproar from Olivia’s birthday banquet had reached the ears of Old Mr. Carter. Isabella’s departure had therefore been more predictable than ever.

He let out a heavy sigh, his tone filled with anger and disappointment.
“Tve told you before, you and Olivia are never going to work, no matter how you look at it. When you were willing to marry Isabella and have a child with her, I thought you had truly let go of Olivia. But now. Alexander, you have truly disappointed me.”

Alexander furrowed his brows, his frustration swelling with every word his grandfather spoke.
Just as he was about to hang up, he suddenly caught something unusual in Old Mr. Carter’s words. His eyes narrowed, and his voice grew colder.
“You know Isabella left? Did you force her to leave? Where did you hide her?!”
The accusations came one after another, and in the end, his emotions began to spiral out of control. The pain of being separated from the one he loved six years ago rushed back like a tidal wave.
