Chapter 86 Win Her Back

Facing Abel’s reaction, Cindy was somewhat surprised.

After all, he was only five years old, but he was surprisingly mature.

Many times, Abel’s maturity scared her.

“Cindy, if you won’t go, I will.” Abel broke free from her and started walking inside.

“Hey, young master!”

Cindy hurriedly chased after…

In the Lamont’s manor, Edmond and Cicely sat opposite each other, in opposition.

“Why did you get divorced without my consent?” Cicely’s face was full of anger. “I lost my memory, did

you lose yours too?”

“I refused you back then because of her background, what did you say to me? You said you don’t care

about her background, only her character. Fine, I supported you, and now? How come you just dumped

her for someone else?”

Edmond pursed his lips and remained silent.

Cicely sighed softly and said, “If you like someone, go after them. What a lovely girl she is.”

“I couldn’t catch up with her.” Edmond’s gaze deepened as he thought about the several men he had

specially rushed over for her today.

“How could you not pursue her?” Cicely was stunned. “She likes you,

as long as you make your intentions clear, she will definitely give you another chance.”

Edmond remembered the words she had said to him, “Come home with

me.”

Maybe she didn’t hear, or maybe she didn’t want to respond to him, she just said a short thank you to

him and went into another room with Ervin.

She wouldn’t turn back.

This realization darkened his eyes.

No one knows a child better than their mother, and Cicely could somewhat guess Edmond’s thoughts.

Her son was emotionally dull from the beginning, and he chose Claudia as his wife because of the

company’s reasons. But now, it seems that he is truly serious about her.

“You are not young anymore, and you understand the irreparable regrets without me having to say it.

The time I can spend with you is limited, and I only hope that in my lifetime, I can hold a grandchild in

my arms, and that would be enough to satisfy me.”

Upon hearing this, Edmond couldn’t help but frown, “Don’t always say such things.”

Cicely shook her head and smiled.

How could she bear to let him go? He was her only child, and she was his last relative.

Shortly after Edmond was born, a fortune teller told her that this child would bring misfortune to her

loved ones. Although she would have no financial worries throughout her life, her relationships with her

family would be weak.

She naturally didn’t believe it until later when Tristen passed away and her husband also left, then she

slowly began to believe the words of the fortune teller.

Complaining and complaining, but no matter how much I complain, there is only this one child left.

Edmond lowered his eyelids, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.

Maybe he should give it a try.

Realizing this truth, his tightly wound heart suddenly relaxed.

“Mom, I’m going out for a while.” He walked quickly into the elevator and pressed the floor for the

underground parking garage.

Seeing his quick pace, Cicely chuckled lightly, “This child.”

She knew that Edmond had finally figured it out.

He finally had to face his own feelings.

I hope her wish can come true, so that she can face future challenges with peace of mind.

She had just gotten up when the security guard at the door walked in and said, “Mrs. Lamont, there is a

child insisting on coming in, saying he wants to find his father.”

“Looking for dad?” Cicely thought it was a lost child, raising her eyelids slightly. “Take him to the police

station, his dad is not here.”

“Okay, Mrs. Lamont.”

Outside the door, Abel stared at the security guard walking toward him

with a pair of bright eyes and asked, “Sir, did you talk to my dad?”

The security guard shook his head. If it weren’t for the fact that he found the child adorable, he wouldn’t

have let him in to make the

report.

“Child, your father is not here. If you want to find him, you should go to the police station.”

The security guard was just about to close the door when Abel gritted his teeth and slipped through the

cr ack while he wasn’t paying

attention.

“Hey, hey! Stop!” The security guard uncle stomped his foot in frustration and quickly chased after.

Cicely, who was also preparing to rest inside the house, was suddenly grabbed by something as she

was going upstairs.

“Grandma!”

Grandma?

Cicely quickly glanced at the little boy who was hugging his own legs.

“Grandma, I finally see you! I missed you so much,” Abel lifted his face, his eyes curved into crescents,

and his small mouth smiled, revealing his neat and stuttering teeth.

Seeing this familiar face, Cicely was startled, as if struck by lightning. “What did you just… call me?”

“Grandma, Mom said you are my grandmother.”

Upon hearing these words, Cicely’s voice trembled, “What is your name? Who is your mother?”

“My name is Abel, and my mother’s name is Rosalie,” Abel said. He tilted his head and added, “My

father’s name is Edmond.”

***

Early in the morning, Claudia was awakened by the sun. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw

the luxurious and unfamiliar decoration, and was stunned for a few seconds.

A large floor-to-ceiling window, clean and bright, with a decoration that leans toward a girly style. The

entire color scheme is blue and pink, and the paintings hanging on the walls are the kind that can only

be found in auction houses.

She suddenly realized that she had already moved in with the Friedan family.

The fixed telephone by the bed rang, and she answered the call. Ervin’s voice was gentle and pleasant,

“Are you awake? Look outside.”

Claudia opened the curtains and looked into the distance. A familiar figure stood far away, gazing

toward this direction.

“What happened?”

“He waited outside all night,” Ervin said meaningfully, “Don’t you want to go meet him?”

Claudia remained silent.

Ervin added, “After all, he is the child’s father, you should ask for his opinion.”

She widened her eyes, and her pupils contracted: “How did you know?”

“Your last reaction was very obvious. Later, when you were

hospitalized, I asked the doctor and confirmed it with the doctor. However, I noticed that you didn’t

mention this to anyone. I also asked the doctor to keep it confidential.”

“No wonder the doctor only said I had low blood sugar after I fainted. It turns out you helped me hide it.

Thank you,” Claudia said as she looked at the man outside the window. As if sensing her, Edmond

looked toward her window and she instinctively took a step back, quickly regaining her composure.

We have already divorced, and now she has the initiative.

Claudia, what were you afraid of…

She took a deep breath and said to Ervin on the phone, “Brother, ask him what’s the matter. If he’s

looking for me, please refuse on my behalf and tell him I don’t want to see him.”

Although he helped her yesterday, she was still very scared.

He liked Rosalie so much, he couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.

She was afraid. He pleaded with her, but she was even more afraid of him questioning her.

Let’s meet less in the future.

She touched her belly and murmured softly, “Child, don’t blame mommy… Even without daddy,

mommy can still afford to raise you.”

She believed that as long as she provided her child with a good education and gave him the right

guidance, he would be able to be like her and would not go astray due to the lack of certain love.

Ervin was very happy with Claudia’s tone.

Ervin hung up the phone and walked briskly toward the outside.

This was the first time Claudia had ever called herself Ervin so seriously, which sounded both pleasant

and comforting.

He had to live up to this title.

Edmond leaned against the motorcycle, just took a few puffs of cigarette.

He waited for a whole night and also thought for a whole night.

Both his mother and his good friend could see through his thoughts, but he himself couldn’t see clearly

Some things are very secretive, and just thinking about them can reveal Ni Duan. For example, after

receiving the divorce certificate, he started having sleepless nights.

“Edmond.”

A gentle voice brought back his thoughts.

Edmond’s hand trembled slightly as he smoked, and involuntarily he straightened his body under

Ervin’s gaze. His fingers moved, and the pursing of his lips revealed his nervousness.

“Mr. Friedan,” he glanced at the window with his dark eyes, “Claudia… she…”

“She was Seraphina now.”

Ervin’s flat tone hit his heart like a heavy hammer.
