Chapter 24 When Has Frederick Ever Stared at a Woman Like This?
The maid approached Isabella.
"Ms. Beniere, Mr. Valdemar asked me to tell you that he has something to attend to today. Therefore, he cannot proceed with the divorce. He said he would contact you tomorrow." Isabella frowned.
"That man just now was Frederick Valdemar?"
"Yes, he is Mr. Valdemar."
Isabella immediately chased after him and saw Frederick's car.
She shouted, "Hey! Stop the car! Frederick, stop!"
But the black luxury car sped away, leaving Isabella far behind.
When Isabella reached the villa's entrance, she couldn't even see the taillights of the car.
Frustrated, she thought, "What is he up to? I just need his signature on the divorce papers! Since we have no property disputes, why is he unwilling to divorce me?'
'Even if he is in a hurry, he can sign first!'
Isabella was angry because she was so close to getting a divorce.
But now, she had failed again.
Isabella wondered, 'Is God playing a joke on me, or is this cursed marriage? Do I have to complete twelve arduous tasks like Heracles to successfully divorce him?'
The new maid, seeing Isabella's distress, tried to comfort her.
"Ms. Beniere, Mr. Valdemar said he would contact you tomorrow. Please don't worry. Just be patient."
Isabella took a deep breath. She thought, 'I can wait another day as long as he promises to divorce me.' 'I finally got his assurance that he will divorce me!'
After thanking the maid, Isabella left the Rose Garden and called Elijah to inquire about Dennis's condition.
Isabella was very worried about Dennis.
Knowing that Dennis was asleep, Isabella felt relieved. Instead of going to the hospital, she went straight home.
At that moment, Hugo, Justin, and Paul were having a meeting at home.
They already knew the purpose of Isabella's return. It was Hugo who called Isabella today.
Hugo felt that this city was unfriendly to Isabella, and Isabella didn't like it here either. Therefore, Hugo wanted to help Isabella settle things as soon as possible and conducted a discreet investigation.
Then, Hugo unexpectedly learned about what happened back then.
The Beniere family forced Isabella to drop out of school and marry Frederick instead of Angelia.
Frederick publicly accused Isabella of infidelity during their marriage, completely ruining her reputation. Isabella was blamed for it.
However, the Beniere family believed that Isabella's behavior was shameless and wanted to cut ties with her. They kicked Isabella out of the house.
Finally, Isabella left Teronica when she was pregnant and lived alone in a village.
During her pregnancy, Isabella worked as a laborer every day.
To save money, Isabella often ate bread and drank water. Occasionally, she would put a little jam on the bread.
Eggs were a luxury for her. Sometimes she would only have one meal a day.
Isabella also had to endure the disgust and accusations of the people around her.
Later, when Isabella was near her due date, she collapsed on her way home from work.
In fact, a few days earlier, Frederick had his subordinates investigate these things. But they found nothing.
This was not because Frederick's subordinates were incompetent.
It was because Isabella's savior, after bringing her and her children back to the city, sealed off those past events because he was worried that her past would affect her current life.
Isabella also had a new identity.
If someone investigated Isabella, they could only find that she has been living in the village with her children since her husband died.
Hugo was able to find out the truth because Isabella's savior taught him how to successfully crack the system.
Hugo, Justin, and Paul felt that Isabella's previous life was very miserable and cried.
Paul cried the loudest. "Mommy is so pitiful!"
Justin choked, "No! I can't let Mommy suffer in vain! I want to help Mommy get revenge! The Valdemar family and the Beniere family hurt Mommy! I'll blow them up now!"
Hugo's eyes turned red with sadness, but he remained rational.
He stopped Justin.
"If you seek revenge, Mommy will definitely find out. Reminding Mommy of those things is like reopening Mommy's scars. Mommy will be in pain and sorrow."
"Since Mommy doesn't tell the truth, it proves that she doesn't want us to know the truth. We should calm down. In the future, we will have many opportunities for revenge."
Justin clenched his small fists. "But I can't bear it! They bullied Mommy, who is so kind! Mommy used to be alone, so she could only be bullied. Now that she has the three of us, we can't let Mommy be bullied!"
"You must endure for Mommy! Even if we leave Teronica, we can help Mommy get revenge! Now, our main goal is Frederick!"
"Mommy came back to divorce him. Therefore, we should help Mommy divorce him first!"
Paul felt that Hugo was right. He wiped away his tears and asked gently, "Does he refuse to divorce because he likes Mommy?"
"Definitely not. If he liked Mommy, he wouldn't have hurt Mommy back then! He doesn't like Mommy."
Justin immediately became angry.
"Mommy doesn't need his love! Mommy is beautiful and gentle, so Mommy deserves a better man! Frederick Valdemar is not worthy of Mommy!"
Paul sobbed and asked, "Then is he our Daddy?"
"I don't want him, whether he is or not!"
Paul nodded. "I don't want him either!"
Hugo stared at Frederick's photo and thought, 'He looks so much like us and is Mommy's husband, so there is a 99% chance that he is our Daddy.'
'So what if he is our Daddy?'
'We won't like someone who doesn't like Mommy!'
"Right! Whether he is our Daddy or not, we don't want him. We have grown up without a father's love, so we don't need him."
No child wanted to be without a father.
Hugo, Justin, and Paul's eyes lit up when they found out that Frederick might be their father.
But if they could only choose one person between Isabella and Frederick, they chose Isabella without hesitation.
Children like people who treat them well and are willing to take care of them.
Hugo said, "Let's stay calm for now. If Mommy doesn't mention what happened back then, we won't ask her. We'll pretend we don't know."
"Now that Mommy knows that Frederick is in Teronica, she will definitely go to him for a divorce. After Mommy is divorced, we will take her away from here. After we settle in another city, we will start to help Mommy get revenge!"
"Okay!"
"But what should we do if he refuses to divorce Mommy?"
Hugo frowned. "We force him to divorce Mommy!"
When Isabella came back, Hugo, Justin, and Paul had calmed down.
They pretended not to know anything and rushed into Isabella's arms.
Isabella didn't notice anything unusual and looked at them lovingly.
After seeing them, Isabella finally understood why she had such a strong emotional connection to Dennis when she was in the hospital.
Isabella thought that she was probably thinking of Justin and Hugo at that time.
Dennis looked very similar to Justin and Hugo.
"Mommy, have you finished what you wanted to do today?"
Hugo, Justin, and Paul were referring to Isabella's divorce from Frederick.
Isabella shrugged helplessly. "No."
Hugo, Justin, and Paul frowned at the same time. "Why?"
"That man has something to do. He said he would meet me again tomorrow."
Hugo, Justin, and Paul were speechless.
Isabella gave each of them a kiss. "Don't worry. Since he will meet me tomorrow, I can wait another day. We have to learn to be patient!"
Seeing Isabella in a good mood, Hugo, Justin, and Paul remained silent.
They spent the afternoon making Isabella happy.
They treated Isabella like a little princess.
Even though those people didn't like Isabella, they loved Isabella deeply!
They would always cherish Isabella!
