My Ex-Wife Remarried Me

Chapter 57: An Explanation 

Amora subconsciously held her breath and immediately averted her gaze.

"Come here, lan."

Kane's eyes did not immediately find Amora when she came in.Instead, he asked his son to come over first, indicating that he would settle the scores with her later.lan furrowed his brows and walked toward his father.

"Where did you go today?"

"Nowhere," lan answered indifferently.

Amora let out a long sigh of relief.

Oh, thank God he didn't say that we went to the amusement park.

Otherwise, it would only make that man angrier.

However, Kane didn't believe lan when he noticed all the sweat on the latter's body.

"Then why are you sweating so much? You're even lying to me now?" lan had no way to refute that.

When Amora realized that things were getting out of hand, she hurriedly stepped forward, forgetting about her own predicament.

"Don't blame him.It's not his fault.We just...went out to play for a bit, but don't worry, he won't catch a cold.I bought a small towel for him and made sure to wipe off his sweat."

Afraid that he would blow up, she quickly added in the last sentence.

"Shut up!" the man snapped at her in return.

He looked like he was a second away from biting her to death with that insidious look on his face.Amora swallowed hard. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Whatever.

I'm not going to argue with this scum.Deep down, she knew that it seemed reckless to bring lan out when he had recently fallen sick.

However, his longing gaze at that time made her heart wrench painfully in her chest.

As his mother, there was no way she could bring herself to refuse him.

Besides, since she was a doctor, she had considered things from all aspects and allowed him to go only after she was certain that no harm would befall him.

Luckily, Kane found nothing wrong with him after checking his son from top to bottom.

Because he perspired quite a lot while playing at the amusement park, his cheeks were flushed a healthy shade of pink, making him glow slightly.

Hence, Kane's expression was no longer as grim.

"Alright.Mr.Reed will take you up for a shower and get your clothes changed."

"Oh," lan agreed sulkily.

Soon, Kylo came in to take him to the lounge room upstairs.

"Daddy” lan called out.Kane raised his brows in question.

"Don't scold her!" lan sternly said.

Out of everyone's expectations, lan did not forget about Amora before being led out of the office.

Amora, who was steeling herself to receive a tongue-lashing, instantly felt warmth spreading in her heart.

"Little lan..."

"Don't ‘Little lan’ him anymore!"

Kane snapped at her before turning to Kylo.

"And what are you waiting for? Take him upstairs now!"

Already fuming, his anger seemed to skyrocket just then.

Ungrateful little brat.

Did he forget who raised him all these years? After lan was taken away, silence blanketed the office, and Amora knew that it was time to face the music.

I don't get it.

Why is he so angry? AllI did was take him out to play for a bit.

Amora decided to break the silence.

"Okay, I apologize for what I did.I understand that it was quite inappropriate for me to take him out, but I did it because I saw something today, and I think you owe me an explanation, Kane."

"What did you say? I owe you an explanation?"

Kane never thought that before he could reprimand her for what she did today, she would question him first.Amora nodded.

"Yeah, why doesn't he like going to preschool? The weather's quite good today, so I wanted to bring him for a walk in the garden.But the moment I suggested it, he became very agitated.Then, when I brought up playing with the kids in preschool, he got all riled up and started shouting.Kane, don't you think you owe me an explanation for this? How did a healthy child become like this under your care?" Silence ensued.

Within a split second, the atmosphere turned almost suffocating.

The sun was still shining brightly outside, its golden rays filtering through the windows.

However, standing in the middle of the office, Amora felt as if she was in the dead of winter, so cold that she shuddered involuntarily.

What's going on? Did I say something wrong? There was a gnawing sensation in her chest.

"You want me to give you an explanation, is that it?"

"Well...yes."

"Very well, Amora.I will give you just that.He became like this because you abandoned him back then.Due to his premature birth, he was critically ill and couldn't speak until he was two years old.He didn't have a mother, so I was the one who raised him.He's quiet and withdrawn because there has always been a void in his heart that only his mother could fill, causing him to constantly feel out of place and insecure wherever he goes.Is this good enough of an explanation for you?"

Due to the anger coursing in his veins, Kane's chiseled face grew cold, with sarcasm and hostility the only emotions lining his features.

As he looked at her, a mocking chuckle escaped his lips, but that rich sound was like a knife stabbing into her heart.
