Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 1548 Stay the Night

At the Atkinson family house.

"Do you not care about Deanna anymore?" Lottie had been sobbing for more than two hours, and she

was still crying.

Rhys's heart ached for her.

"Everyone, leave." Tried as he might, he failed to comfort Lottie and stop her from weeping while Zorion

stood beside them.

Hearing Rhys's order, all the servants left. After that, Rhys sat down next to Lottie. "She is my daughter.

How could I not want her? But Jacky has stolen her away. I will not let this matter slide."

Lottie looked up at him, her eyes red from the hours of crying. She couldn't believe this was the answer

she had gotten. Upset, she threw a punch at Rhys's chest. "Are you trying to upset me to death?"

Zorion furrowed his brows. "It isn't Deanna's fault. She has always been naive. I'm to blame."

"You aren't any better either. Move out now. I never want to see you at my house ever again. I'm

disowning you."

Rhys's words stunned Lottie. She had never expected him to do this.

However, Zorion did not leave as he knew they would not kick him out at this moment.

Rhys looked at Zorion. "I won't let a woman who hurt my daughter marry into our family. There are only

two options left for you. Either you leave her or fend for yourself."

Zorion stood there for a moment without saying a word. After that, he headed towards the stairs. Before

he could go up the stairs, Rhys said, "All that you have belongs to me, except for your body. Don't even

think of taking anything else with you."

"Rhys, why are you doing this?"

Just as Lottie got up to approach Zorion, Rhys said, "Don't. No one is to stop him if he wants to leave.

Now that he has hurt his sister, what's the point of him staying?"

Lottie slowly turned around, her eyes fixed on her husband. "Rhys, are you being serious right now?

"Depends. I've never made such a mistake in my life. He betRhysed his sister for the sake of a woman

with an unknown background. And now, he wants to sever ties with me for this woman. Why should I

keep such a son by my side? Do I look like I'm willing to present him with another chance to irritate

me?"

"Zorion is still young, he-"

"He is young, but he isn't a kid anymore. He has to be responsible for what he's done."

"Rhys."

"Mom." Zorion went up to Lottie, hugging her. Lottie looked up at her son's face, which was so much

like her husband's. They were both stubborn people, especially when it came down to the woman they

fancied.

"Don't worry. I can use this opportunity to learn to be independent and put my skills to the test."

"Are you sure you can do this alone?"

"It's okay. I won't starve to death. Don't you believe in my capabilities?" Zorion's eyes were filled steady

composure. Rhys swept his eyes over his son unemotionally, but deep down, he was relieved.

He would be bothered if Zorion didn't have the guts to live on his own.

"Let me accompany you."

"It's alright. Stay with Dad. He needs you more than I do."

Zorion bowed his head and kissed Lottie's forehead before letting go of her. Then, he looked at Rhys.

"I'm not leaving home, but rather, I'm going out to test my capacity. Please take care of yourself and

Mom."

Zorion turned and headed for the door. Rhys wore a smile, thinking, "This child has grown up. He's

ready to take over the family duties."

"Maybe I should wait until he gets married."

"It'll be better if he comes home with a grandchild next time."

At the thought of Rossie's age, Rhys was a little worried that giving birth to a child at such a young age

would be detrimental to her health.

Lottie was still perturbed about her son. She hurriedly followed him and called out to him.

"Zorion! Zorion!"

Zorion looked back at his mother, who had followed him out and came up to him. He was not downcast.

Instead, his lips were curled upwards. "Mom, why did you come out?"

"Your father is not kicking you out," Lottie said. Zorion then replied, "I'm aware of that. Now that I've

decided to leave, I can't go back. I'm a man. How can a man go back on his word? Rest assured that I

will be fine."

"My new semester will start next week, and I can stay at the dormitory. Everything will be alright. There

are some clothes in my apartment too."

"Do you really think so?" Lottie was surprised; she did not expect that her son was going to continue

his studies.

"Of course, I haven't graduated yet. Society needs competent people. I can't lose to others at the

starting line."

Lottie stared at her son. "It's great that you understand this, I'm afraid that you-"

"Don't be afraid. I am you and Dad's son. I'll never leave this family."

Zorion's words made Lottie shed tears again.

When she was young, she had never thought of herself to be this vulnerable and would shed tears at

the slightest matter.

Her son had really grown up.

"Alright then, I'm leaving. Mom, remember to call me if anything happens."

"Okay, take good care of yourself."

"I will. I have been taking care of Deanna for years - isn't she doing just fine?"

Gazing at his son, Lottie finally nodded.

Zorion looked up at the villa before he turned and walked to the door.

He was no longer the young master of the Atkinson family, and he did not have a car. Thus, he got to

the bus stop by foot. Then, he took a bus to the entrance of Elkton University.

Lottie turned around, only to see Rhys standing with his arms behind him at the door. Afterward, she

returned to his side and let him hold her in his arms.

"They're adults now. They have to learn to stand on their own two feet, Deanna included. If we always

keep them under our protection, they won't be able to survive in this world when we leave." From NôvelDrama.Org.

"The upcoming difficulties are nothing. Only when they fall will they know their mistakes and learn their

lesson."

"We can't teach them through our own experiences. They need to learn these things by themselves."

Lottie gazed at her husband. "But Deanna is pregnant. She's going to have a baby soon. She needs

someone to look after her."

"We'll talk about that when she's in labor."

Rhys had to be cruel. He was her father, but he had pampered her for too many years. It was time for

his daughter to grow up.

Despite the countless incidents, Deanna still continued to turn a blind eye to them, refusing to grow up.

He hoped that she would be able to learn something from Jacky this time.

...

After seeing Jepherson off, Raeleigh went back to her parents. Entering the tiny living room, she saw

Rosie sitting inside. At the sight of Raeleigh, she stood up from the sofa. Raeleigh was shocked to see

Rossie. She had an inkling that something was going to happen as she walked over. "Why are you

here? Why didn't you leave with Zorion?"

Rossie shot a glance inside the house. "Could you let me stay the night?"

Raeleigh stood rooted to the spot, and her mind went blank.

Stay the night?
