I Walk on My Own Destiny without Her

My mom felt sorry for me having a crush on someone for ten years. So she simply drugged my unconscious friend. Then my mom sent her to my bed.

After waking up, she coldly agreed to marry me. But soon after the marriage, she frequently went on business trips abroad. She then was gone for three years.

I raised my daughter, Luciana, alone. We really waited for her to come back to our home.

Three years later, I heard that she returned to Liechtenstein. I gave up important social events to meet her with my daughter. I took my daughter to the airport to pick her up.

Unfortunately, I was disappointed with her behaviour towards us. She glanced at me indifferently.

“I’m sorry, I have mysophobia.”

Since then, my daughter and I have washed our hands more than three times each time. The floors in our house were spotless, but she still didn't come back. She never hugged my daughter.

Until I saw a video where someone asked her, “Ms. Isabella Celeste, what do you think is the happiest thing you've ever done?”

She answered carelessly, “I was abroad last week, I put Adelaide to bed and then pulled Christopher into the bathroom before I went out.”

In the midst of the uproar, my hands and feet went cold. I knew both names that Isabella mentioned. Christopher Ainsworth was her ex-boyfriend. Meanwhile, Adelaide was the daughter of her ex-boyfriend.

I heard that in the three years since I left the country, they have been living together. I then realized it turned out to be true.

I was completely heartbroken at that moment. It made me leave the divorce agreement for her. I also cancelled my identity with my daughter. Then both of us went out of the country.

The nanny picked up my daughter from the kindergarten. Luciana cried so much. It made her eyes swollen.

Luciana then asked me, “Dad, do I have no mom?”

She hiccupped. My lovely daughter felt wronged at that time.

“Mom promised to go to my kindergarten parent-teacher meeting for me, but when she arrived, she said she was Adelaide's mom. It makes me sad, dad.”

I saw Luciana’s eyes were red this time. She still cried out loud. “Dad, they all say that I am a child without a mom. It’s not true, right?”

My chest burst with a ton of pain. My eyes were red. I then hugged my daughter in my arms tightly.

I wanted to say something to comfort her. Unfortunately, when I remembered Isabella's cold attitude, it got stuck in my throat. I really regretted it.

I thought that after waiting for three years, I finally waited for her to come to her senses. I was hoping she was willing to return to Liechtenstein to reunite with our family.

But I didn't expect that it was just because Christopher said he wanted to go back to Liechtenstein.

She bought a plane ticket without hesitation. I was shocked that Isabella arranged everything. She also transferred her ex-boyfriend's daughter to the best kindergarten like her daughter, Luciana.

The day I went to the airport to meet Isabella, my daughter put on the most beautiful dress. Luciana nervously asked me, “Dad, will Mom like me?”

I nodded and touched her head softly. “Yes, of course, you are Mom's only daughter, Luciana. Your mom will be happy when she meets you.”

But when we arrived at the airport, we were full of surprises. We saw Isabella holding Christopher's hand. She also held a three-year-old girl in her arms. It made Luciana and I confused in place.

Isabella faintly swept a glance at me. “I'm sorry, I'll go to settle Christopher and Adelaide first, okay? You guys go home first.”

She didn't even look at our daughter, Luciana. She only looked at Adelaide with a gentle face.

Thinking of this, I closed my eyes in despair. I was really angry at Isabella, but I chose to take care of my daughter first.

“I'm sorry, my lovely daughter. It's all my fault. I promise I will go to the parent-teacher meeting for you next time.”

I helped Luciana wash her face. We then went to bed. It was hard to put her to sleep. When she fell asleep, her little brows were furrowed tightly.

Luciana was delirious and said, “Mom, please hug me. I miss you.”

My heart felt like it was stabbed by a needle when I heard my daughter’s words. If it hadn't been for that incident three years ago, my daughter might not have suffered like this.

Three years ago, my mom felt sorry for my secret love for ten years. She simply drugged Isabella and sent her to my bed.

I was shocked. “Mom, are you going to kill me?”

My mom sighed with relief. “I have long seen that you like Isabella, my son. She also has a good impression of you. She has a crush on you, but she just won't say anything.”

I was silenced and unbelieved by my mom’s words. My mom still focused on me.

“The other day when I was drunk, I heard her call you by your name. I even felt abrasive for you guys. Why don't you just cook the rice and make it a done deal?”

I resisted in every possible way. But I didn't expect my body to get hot in the next second.

My mom chuckled at this moment. “I have also drugged your wine, my son. So cherish this night, okay?”
