Watching Samantha, who was already suffocating, roll her eyes, Ethan narrowed his eyes, suddenly released his grip, and with force, flung Samantha out like a rag.
Ethan leisurely stood up, disdainfully clapped his hands, and said contemptuously, "It's not worth dirtying my hands for a woman like you."
With that, he turned to leave.
Just before leaving, unable to resist, he stopped in his tracks without looking back, his back facing Samantha. "From now on, never appear in front of me again, or I will definitely kill you."
With that, he left without turning his head.
This time, he left decisively, without a moment of hesitation.
All the strength drained from Samantha's body, leaving her collapsed on the ground. Tears uncontrollably streamed down her face as she watched Ethan's resolute figure.
It was over.
Everything was over.
She could be with Justin without any worries.
But why did her heart feel so unhappy? It was as if it was entangled by a thread, slowly tightening, making it hard to breathe.
Ethan vented all his anger onto his feet.
His Maybach drove like a mad beast, careening wildly on the road.
He drove for a long time.
Finally, he stopped on a bridge.
Ethan stood on the railing of the bridge, quietly looking at the calm river below, taking out a cigarette and smoking one after another.
The smoke enveloped him, blurring his face.
In no time, cigarette butts littered the ground by his feet.
After tossing away the last cigarette butt, he slowly curled his lips into a self-deprecating smile.
He finally fell for a woman.
Yet that woman had been deceiving him from the beginning to the end.
Heh...
How ironic.
Ethan took out his phone, without hesitation, deleting all of Samantha's contact information, even wiping out all call records.
From now on, he didn't want any association with that woman.
The cigarette box in his hand was crushed.
Ethan returned to his car and drove back to Chelsea Creek.
As soon as he entered, Alexander and Noah rushed over eagerly.
Alexander grabbed his hand tightly, anxiously asking, "Daddy, where did you go? Why did you come back so late? I couldn't reach you on the phone, and you didn't answer. Do you know mommy's going to marry Uncle Justin?"
Even though he had prepared himself mentally, hearing this news from Alexander's mouth still caused Ethan's heart to twist painfully.
Samantha is actually going to marry Justin.
No wonder she's so eager to cut ties with him.
Even Noah, who is usually quiet, couldn't help but speak up, "Father, can you go and bring mommy back?"
If mommy doesn't marry his father, he doesn't know how long he can still call her mommy.
He has no sense of security at all.
After hearing Noah's words, Ethan's face instantly turned dark.
"From now on, don't mention this woman in front of me, I will completely cut ties with her in the future. And you two, don't have any association with her either. Tomorrow, I will have Jade handle your transfer procedures."
Although this is cruel to the two kids, but only in this way can Samantha disappear completely from his life.
But the two kids refused to comply.
Especially Alexander, immediately burst into tears.
"I don't want to transfer, I want to be with Charlotte, I want to protect her and mommy..."
Noah weakly said, "I don't want to transfer either."
Ethan said decisively, "I have already decided on this matter, there's no room for negotiation..."
After saying that, he prepared to go upstairs.
But Alexander held onto him tightly and began to act spoiled, "No, I don't want to transfer, if you don't agree, I won't let go..."
Ethan remained indifferent, threatening, "If you continue to make trouble, I'll lock you up. Don't try my patience."
"I..."
Alexander still wanted to persist, but was pulled away by Noah.
Noah secretly signaled him with his eyes.
Alexander obediently let go of his hand.
Ethan, with a cold and angry aura, went upstairs without looking back.
Alexander watched him disappear around the corner on the second floor, unable to help but complain to Noah, "What are you doing! Why are you stopping me?"
Noah, with red eyes, said, "I've been with father for four years, I understand him. He's really angry this time. It's no use confronting him head-on. We need to plan for the long term."
Alexander stamped his feet in frustration.
"What should we do then? Mommy is about to marry Uncle Justin soon, and dad is like this. We don't have time to hesitate!"
Noah thought for a moment and said, "There must be a way, there must be..."
Alexander was anxious on the side...
...
Samantha returned home in a better mood.
Charlotte was already asleep.
Justin could tell from one glance that she had been crying, her eyes were red and swollen.
He didn't ask anything, didn't say anything, just silently went to the fridge, took out an ice pack, wrapped it in a towel, and handed it to Samantha.
"Thank you!"
After thanking him, Samantha took the ice pack and applied it to her face.
Justin sat down silently beside her, accompanying her quietly.
His thoughtfulness made Samantha feel a warmth in her heart.
"I've already made it clear to him. From now on, I have no relationship with him anymore."
Justin asked in surprise, "He agreed?"
He could tell that Ethan really liked Samantha.
With Ethan's domineering and ruthless methods, how could he easily let Samantha go?
Samantha lowered her eyelids and nodded, whispering softly, "He agreed, and he told me not to appear in front of him anymore."
Her answer furrowed Justin's brows with unease, "Did he do anything to you?"
Samantha shook her head weakly, "I'm fine!"
She spoke weakly, as if she had no soul, only a shell.
Justin knew she was feeling uncomfortable, so he stopped asking and silently got up to prepare a bath for her.
After applying the ice pack for a while and soaking in a hot bath, Samantha felt much better. She applied ointment to the bruises on her neck before crawling into bed to rest.
Justin waited until Samantha fell asleep before quietly leaving the room.
Little did he know, as soon as he left, Samantha opened her eyes, staring blankly at the ceiling, her mind filled with Ethan...
Tears silently fell from the corners of her eyes...
...
After that night, Ethan truly disappeared from Samantha's life.
Alexander and Noah also transferred to another school.
Samantha would send Charlotte to kindergarten in the morning and then go to the company.
She would leave work on time to pick up Charlotte.
Her marriage with Justin also progressed smoothly.
Everything seemed to be heading in a positive direction.
After their relationship stabilized, Samantha took Justin to the hospital to meet her grandfather.
Justin also took Samantha and Charlotte back to the Fletcher family.
Unfortunately, compared to the warmth of her grandfather, the attitude of the Fletcher family was much more intriguing.
Samantha presented her carefully prepared gifts, "Uncle, Auntie, these are the gifts I prepared for you, a brooch and a necklace designed by me personally. I hope you like them."
Mrs. Fletcher took the gift, didn't even look at it, and handed it to the servant on the side, "Hmm! Have a seat! Dinner isn't ready yet, there are some snacks on the coffee table, eat if you're hungry."
Her tone was cold, her expression indifferent. It seemed like Samantha was just someone who came to freeload, not a future daughter-in-law.
Samantha felt a bitter taste in her heart.
Clearly, four years ago, Uncle and Auntie Fletcher liked her very much.
But now...
