Chapter 245

When Daniel Lippert, whose nickname was Danny, was too young to speak, fragile and sickly, he was under Elaine’s thumb.

But now, at three and a half, ever since he found his voice, he had stopped listening to Elaine. This little ingrate, true to her mother Delphine’s words–a snake that could not be tamed. Recently, for some reason, he suddenly stopped calling Elaine ‘mom‘, realizing he was not like her. So young, yet so cold and defiant!

A shadow crossed Elaine’s eyes–a child born of that wretch could never be kept.

Once she had a child with Ludwik, she would find a way to dispose of him. With a new comfort for Ludwik, he would not grieve too long.

For now, she would tolerate him–a little brat, easily duped by her cunning schemes.

Elaine took a deep breath, forcing herself to relax as she descended the stairs. The breakfast was already secretly prepared by the maid.

She pretended to serve it.

When Ludwik and Daniel came downstairs, Elaine lifted her face with a feigned, gentle smile. Then, she overheard their conversation.

“What’s with the pale face? Didn’t sleep well last night?”

The boy replied coolly, “Had a nightmare.”

The man paused, his noble hand caressing his son’s cheek. “I will sleep with you every night from now on.”

“Aren’t you supposed to spend a couple of nights with her?”

“Your mom can wait. You’re still young,” Ludwik said curtly.

Elaine’s smile froze.

Suddenly, the boy hung his head, murmuring, “Kids at preschool say you’ll get rid of me if you have a new baby.”

“Then we won’t have one,” Ludwik frowned, then realized something.

“Is that why you’ve been upset since morning?”
