Unwilling Trophy Wife (Serena and Victor) novel Chapter 176

Chapter 176

Downstairs at the hospital, Serena sat on a bench for a long time, her emotions all over the place.

What she’d said to Leon was harsh, and she couldn’t help thinking that if Eliza had never come along, maybe she and Lean could have supported each other and lived a good life together–even if she never got Victor’s love.

But there was no point crying over spilled milk.

Serena heard footsteps nearby and turned to see Keith walking over with Alyssa. Keith spoke first, “Sorry about this. Alyssa heard what happened and insisted on coming to see you. I couldn’t talk her out of it.”

The truth was, Alyssa had cried several times, worried that Serena might change her mind and go back to Leon, leaving her all alone. That was why she’d been so determined to come.

But Keith could see that Serena looked pretty upset right now, so he kept that part to himself.

Serena reached out and gently touched Alyssa’s tired little face. “What’s wrong, sweetheart? I’ve been busy the last few days and couldn’t spend time with you. Can you be a good girl and listen to Daddy for me?”

But her words made Alyssa’s face crumple up even worse than if she’d been crying. Her eyes immediately filled with tears,

“Mommy, don’t leave me.” She opened her mouth to speak, and both Serena and Keith were instantly shocked. They’d just witnessed Alyssa talk for the

first time.

Before they could even react, another crying voice came from the other side. “Mommy…”

Serena turned around and saw Victor holding Leon. Her emotions were complicated, and she felt completely overwhelmed.

“You should go,” Keith said, understanding how torn Serena was feeling right now.

“I’ll explain to Alyssa that you’re not abandoning her.”

His words helped clear up the mess of thoughts in her head. Serena took a deep breath and nodded. “Okay, I’ll be right back.”

Serena thought she’d already made things crystal clear with Leon earlier. She didn’t want to waste any more time on this situation, so she walked over to Victor and said bluntly, “I have a new life now. You shouldn’t have brought him here and given him false hope.”

Leon was already a complete mess, tears streaming down his face. He choked out between sobs, “Mommy, what do I have to do for you to forgive me? I’ll be good, I promise. I won’t believe any more bad people ever again.”

With every word he spoke, tears rolled down his little face.

Serena wanted to say she’d never look back, but seeing Leon sick like this, she could only sigh. She reached out and wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes. “Wait until you fix those bad habits of yours, then come find me, okay?

“At least try to be someone you can be proud of.”
