After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#175 “After Abandoning Us?”

Alexander’s fists clenched at his sides, his jaw set in a steely line as he glared at the man who had once been his father. He had not seen or heard from the man in years, and the sight of him now only served to reignite the smoldering embers of resentment that had long simmered within Alexander’s heart.

Alexander’s eyes blazed with indignation. “You think you’re entitled to something after all these years? After abandoning us?”

His father’s lips curled into a scornful sneer. “I didn’t abandon anyone, Alexander. It was your grandfather who drove me away, who destroyed my life.”

Alexander’s blood ran cold at his father’s words. “You blame Grandfather for your own mistakes? That’s absurd. You’ve always been quick to shift the blame onto others instead of owning up to your own failures.”
