Love After Divorce by BELLA

Chapter 270:

Stella knew that when facing RK, she shouldn’t take his words seriously. But when it came to the issue of Adrian’s custody, she couldn’t stop herself from pushing back.

“Stella, I am Adrian’s father. Don’t I have the right to raise him and protect him?” RK insisted.

“Is this what you call protection? I know you want to fight for custody, but can’t you wait a little longer? Can’t you continue the fight after Adrian has accepted it all? Do you think this is truly for his sake? If you keep pushing, he won’t just hate me; he’ll hate you too.”

“That’s impossible! Adrian won’t hate me. I am his father.”

Hearing RK say the word ‘father,’ Stella couldn’t help but sneer. “You think if I tell Adrian how his father divorced his pregnant mother for another woman, and even pressured her to get rid of him, he won’t hate you?

Do you think he wouldn’t be furious and cut all ties with you? You wouldn’t even be a stranger to him.”

RK remained calm. “That won’t happen because you care about Adrian. You wouldn’t want to make him sad. If you tell him the truth, not only will you be heartbroken, but so will he. You won’t be willing to see that.”

Stella clenched her fists. RK was right—she couldn’t bear to tell Adrian about the past. She couldn’t bear to let him know that his father had once insisted on not keeping him. She knew Adrian was just a child, and this knowledge would devastate him.

“RK, don’t think I’m still the same Stella you used to bully and hurt. Ever since I came back to X City, I’ve never once considered letting you hurt me again. You won’t be able to harm me now.” Stella’s voice was firm.

She would never forgive them for the pain they had caused her. The suffering and tears she endured in France were etched in her memory forever.
