"Christ, are you full?" Nelly looked at Christ with tenderness and said.
"Yeah." Christ blinked his eyes and glanced at Bradley whose face was cold not far away.
Bradley's face became extremely mad when he heard Christ calling Nelly mom.
He got up with grim eyes, then stepped forward and picked up Christ from Nelly's arms.
Nelly was a little flustered when she saw that Christ was suddenly taken away by Bradley.
With her lips trembling, she called Bradley's name and said, "Bradley... Don't treat Christ like this. He's just a child..."
"I've told you many times that you can't call her mother. Didn't you hear what I said clearly?" Bradley pinched Christ's small face, he said with coldblooded and unhappy eyes.
He didn't like Christ calling Nelly mom, because Christ was the child of him and Amelia. Even if Christ needed a mother, his mother should be Amelia, not Nelly.
"Dad..." Christ was scared by Bradley's horrible face, and his eyes glistened with tears. He called Bradley cautiously, but he didn't dare to say anything, for fear of provoking Bradley.
Nelly's face looked even more depressed. She didn't except that Bradley would treat her like this. He asked Christ not to call her mother several times in front of her.
Couldn't she be Christ's mother? She was Bradley's wife!
"Bradley, I am your wife. Do you forget that?" Nelly's eyes were full of tears, and there was a hint of sorrow on her delicate and gentle face.
Bradley raised his head apathetically, glanced at Nelly and said with a ruthless face, "Nelly, let's divorce."
When Nelly heard Bradley's cruel words, her whole body froze.
The happier she was when Bradley was willing to marry her, the more desperate she got when he wanted to divorce her.
"What did you say? Bradley? I didn't hear you clearly."
"I married you just because I wanted to stimulate Amelia and let her come back to me. It is painful for both of us to maintain this ridiculous marriage. You should know that except for Amelia, I can't love anyone else in my heart." Looking at Nelly's tearful eyes blandly, Bradley said with impatience and aloofness in his eyes.
"You married me just to stimulate Amelia. Do you know how happy I was when I married you? But now you want to divorce me? Bradley... Are you going to... divorce me?" Nelly got up, pushed the chair beside her, and shouted at Bradley with her body trembling.
Bradley looked at Nelly with no emotions. Then, he picked up Christ and walked upstairs. Christ could only lean in Bradley's arms and did not dare to move. He could clearly feel that there was a deep conflict between Nelly and Bradley.
"Bradley, do you want to divorce me and then be with Amelia? Ha-ha... It's a pity that she doesn't love you at all. Tyrone's heart is not in your chest. Do you think she will fall in love with you? Bradley, she doesn't love you..."
Nelly had always maintained her dignified and virtuous temperament in front of others, but at this moment, she seemed to have no way to stand Bradley anymore. Seeing Nelly like this, all the servants in the room lowered their heads and dared not speak.
Bradley's eyes were full of terrible hostility. He turned to look at Nelly with a straight face.
His eyes were as sharp as a knife, he looked at Nelly as if he wanted to split her in half.
"Nelly, do you want to see what will happen to you if you piss me off?"
"I can't care about anything else. Anyway, I'm living a life worse than death."
"Mom... don't cry." Seeing Nelly slowly squatting down and crying with her hands covering her face, Christ twisted his body and called her. Ignoring Bradley who was mad, he jumped down and ran toward Nelly.
Nelly raised her head and looked at Christ's face. She should hate Christ, because it was Amelia who made her life so miserable. However, she had no way to hate Christ.
"Christ." Nelly hugged Christ's body tightly and cried. When Christ was a baby, Nelly really wanted to kill him, but... she gradually found that she couldn't bear to hurt Christ because he was so good-looking and cute. Nelly had no way to hurt him.
"I've said that she is not your mother.'1 Bradley frowned and said.
He stepped forward and carried Christ in his arms. After saying this coldly, he went upstairs.
Nelly covered her chest and stared at Bradley's emotionless back with her eyes full of hatred and grief.
"Amelia, you're the one who hurt me... It's you who makes my life become like this..."
"I won't just let you go like this."
"Woo-woo... Why do you treat my mom like that? Why do you hurt my mom?" After Christ was put on the bed by Bradley, he rubbed his eyes and looked at Bradley with a complaining gaze.
"How dare you call her mom again!" Bradley was irritated by Christ's crying. He raised his foot, kicked the table in front of him and kicked the chair to the ground.
The loud noise scared Christ. He pursed his lips and didn't dare to cry out loud, but tears kept running down his face.
Looking at Christ's pitiful face, Bradley thought of Amelia unconsciously.
The way Christ cried was so similar to the way Amelia used to. Seeing Christ's pitiful face, Bradley suppressed the annoyance in his heart. He stepped forward and hugged Christ's soft body. He rubbed Christ's cheeks lightly and said, "She's not your mother."
"You... are lying... Woo- woo..." Christ opened his mouth and suddenly burst into tears.
Seeing Christ crying so sadly, Bradley could only hold back his anger.
"If you keep crying, I'll throw you out of here."
"Young master."
With his body trembling, the housekeeper came in with a toy in his hand. When he heard Bradley's furious roar, he was so scared that he almost fainted.
"Keep an eye on him. Don't let him run out." Bradley took a look at the housekeeper and his expression returned to normal as he ordered the housekeeper.
"Okay." The housekeeper looked at Christ worriedly. He did not dare to neglect him and nodded immediately.
After Bradley left, the housekeeper handed Christ the toy which he had been playing with.
Christ held the toy in his hand, raised his head and glanced at the housekeeper. Then he said with tears in his eyes, "Why does my dad not like my mom?"
Hearing this, the housekeeper became disturbed.
No one knew what Bradley was thinking. In the past, Bradley was very kind to Nelly, but after he met Amelia, he...
At the thought of this, the housekeeper could not help but sigh.
When Christ saw the housekeeper sigh, he lowered his head and looked at the toy in his hand in a daze.
"Why does dad not like mom? Why does he not allow me to call her mom?"
Christ got sick. The next day, the housekeeper found Christ lying on the bed with a red face, and he kept calling his mother.
The housekeeper immediately asked the family doctor to come over and called Bradley to tell him that Christ was ill.
When Bradley knew that Christ was sick and had a high fever, his face suddenly became uneasy.
Regardless of the meeting that needed to be held by him, he rushed out of the company.
