Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 1668

Madeline waved her hand and gestured for Freddy to help her sit up.

However, he didn't move but said resignedly, "Just lie there. You'll have to lie back down after sitting up. It hasn't been that long since the operation.”

Hearing that, she shot him a resentful look. "It's just a minor surgery. Why are you making such a fuss? Don't worry; your mother still has a long life ahead of her. I won't die that easily."

She then paused for a second before continuing, "I won't die before I see you win over all our family properties."

A hint of helplessness flashed across Freddy's eyes at that.

His mother had always hoped that he would win over their family properties. She didn't want his father's mistress to succeed, and she had only Freddy for a son, so she could only pin her hopes on him.

As the thought crossed his mind, he couldn't help asking, "Why didn't you have more children after giving birth to me?" "Why would you suddenly bring this up?" "Cause, that way, I won't have to fight for the properties but leave it to my siblings to deal with."

"You numbskull of a child, are you listening to yourself? You are my only child, and you're telling me that you don't want to fight for our properties? I'm already livid with what your father has done. If you don't win over them and let that homewrecker have her way, I won't be able to die peacefully."

"All that rambling about his father, the mistress, and the family properties again," Freddy thought, sick and tired of hearing the same words since he could remember.

He thought he loved his mother dearly and even wished that she wouldn't live like so.

"Mom."

"What?"

"Why won't you file a divorce? If you leave him, we can live a happier life. You used to think you'd have to spend a lot on us if you got a divorce when I was a kid, but I'm graduating soon. I can get a stable job, and you still have your own properties. Think about it, wouldn't it be better if we live our lives away from them?"

Madeline stared at her son, wide-eyed. "No, don't even think about it!"

Growing flustered, she ranted, "That homewrecker stole my husband from me. Oh, how that shameless woman had yearned that I'd file a divorce. But if I did, wouldn't that just be in line with her wishes?"

"Being in line or not is one thing. If that's all you have in your mind, then you should start considering yourself. A lifetime isn't that long; isn't it more important to be happy? Mom, whether it's millions or billions worth of properties, I am not interested in any of it. I just want the both of us to live a happy life."

Freddy's words got her bemoaning, "Freddy, I know you have my best interest in heart, but have you ever thought about this? We will lead a happy life if I get a divorce, but I know I won't be able to get over this hurdle. I'm your father's legal wife no matter how; as long as I never file a divorce, that homewrecker will stay a homewrecker."

Sometimes women loved to chase a dead end, not letting others go while holding themselves up at the same time. Madeline was the typical type to use others' wrongdoings to punish herself.

"Freddy, I know you may not understand where I'm coming from, but you're not me, so it's fine even if you don't. But you have to promise me not to be like your father after you get yourself a wife. If you dare have an affair, I will break your legs."

Freddy could not help but frown at that. "Mom, there's no way I'd be like that."

"Good. Whatever you do, don't be like your father. I will never forgive him as long as I live. You don't have to think of him as your father either; he doesn't deserve it. You just have to win over all his properties."

However, Freddy fell silent.

The ward quieted down. After a while, Madeline said, "You stupid child, why did you chose to push her away when I've created such a good opportunity for you?"

Speechless, he knew this would come. However, since he had anticipated, he knew what to say and do.
