On the Ruins of His Regret I Soar novel Chapter 292

“I’m spending the day with you.”

“Okay. Why didn’t Mommy Catherine come play with me today?”

“She has work to do, too. Amy, do you want to see your mommy?”

Amy stopped playing with the sand. “Mommy Catherine?”

Lance gently squeezed her soft cheek. “No, your real mommy.”

Instantly, Amy’s face clouded over with anger. She flung a handful of sand at him. “No! She’s not my mommy! Mommy Catherine is my only mommy. Daddy, why don’t you and Mommy Catherine get married? Then we could all live together, and I could see her every day! I love Mommy Catherine the most!”

Lance said nothing.

Amy turned away angrily. “I don’t want to talk to you. I’m going to play by myself.”

Isabella let out a cold laugh. “Today, I am not Mrs. Brown. I’m not here with any title. I’m here as myself, as Catherine’s mother, to demand justice for my daughter!”

“Justice? In our home?” Susan asked, amused. “Pray tell, how exactly have we wronged your daughter?”

Isabella’s gaze landed on Lance. “And to think I once thought you were a decent man. I never imagined you’d be too cowardly to own up to what you’ve done!”

Lance frowned but remained silent.

Catherine, red-faced with humiliation, tugged at her mother’s arm. “Mom, please stop. Let’s go home. I can explain everything, I promise. Please, I’m begging you, don’t do this to me…”
