Chapter 440 - He Wanted a Divorce Part 3 (2/2)
”You better keep your mouth shut.”
Chu Jiang felt wronged. He had not said anything at all. There was no time even if he wanted to.
Song Wan hurried forward and sat her son down. ”How are you? Does your face still hurt?” Her heart ached as she looked at her son's swollen face. It had been so long, but the swell was not looking any better. Perhaps, the impact was too hard, and it had affected his facial nerves. The more Song Wan thought, the worse she felt.
”I'll boil an egg for you.”
She didn't dare to cry in front of her son so she stood up quickly and went into the kitchen. Before she left, she issued Chu Jiang another warning.
Chu Jiang's eyes widened. He had not done anything at all.
Song Wan went into the kitchen. She took out two eggs from the fridge and boiled them.
In the living room, the father and son were staring at each other.
”Chu Lui, you can have your divorce, but I have to keep my grandchild.” The only thing he wanted now was his grandchild. As long as Chu Lui gave him that, he wouldn't bother about other things. He wouldn't care if Chu Lui remained single for the rest of his life. After all, their company had profited enough to keep Chu Lui from starving.
The corner of Chu Lui's mouth twisted. The action hurt his face and his heart.
Grandchild? Where would the grandchild come from?
Yet, he held his words. Was he, Chu Lui, a man to go through the humiliation and exposed his weakness to the other? To bare it all and tell them he couldn't make another woman pregnant?
A few minutes later, Song Wan emerged from the kitchen. Finally, she stopped her worrying when she realized that her husband and their son had not been fighting. She had been worried sick about how the father and son were going to fight it out and how it would affect their relationship.
Chu Jiang rolled his eyes secretly. He was a civilized person. How could he fight with his son? Moreover, Song Wan was glaring at him with her bulging eyes. If he even lay a hand on the asshole son, she would skin him alive.
Song Wan peeled the egg shelves and gave the egg to her son. ”Come, Ah Lui. Take this.”
”Thank you, Mom.” Chu Lui accepted the egg and ate half of it in one bite.
”Ah Lui.” Song Wan felt silly.
”That egg…”
”Mmm.” Chu Lui took another bite and finished one egg in two bites. He had always loved to eat hard-boiled eggs since young. It would be a pity to use it to reduce swelling. He might as well eat it.
Song Wan didn't know whether she should laugh or cry. The initial dull and gloomy atmosphere was dispersed in an instant. No one mentioned Li Manni who was still in the hospital. Perhaps, it would be better to forget, or they were unwilling to even mention her.
The sky was getting darker outside. The streets appeared to be more desolate with the autumn breeze blowing.
It was cold and freezing. Winter was almost here.
Rainy plastered her face on the glass window as she looked out with her eyes wide. She stood on the tip of her toes, and she was tall enough to reach the colored glass with her little forehead. When she breathed out hot air, the window glass became a blur.
”What are you looking at?” Xia Ruoxin came over and scoped her daughter with one hand.
”Mommy, there are leaves outside.”
Rainy pointed out the window. ”Won't they miss their mommy?”
”It's alright.” Xia Ruoxin put her daughter down by the sofa. She bent her body and pinched Rainy's little cheeks adoringly. ”In a while, Uncle Wind will blow them to their mommy's side. They will be able to find their mommy.”
