Five Lost Angels: My Husband's Fatal Deception novel Chapter 106

His gloomy situation made me restless; I couldn't help but ask him.

"Did you eat anything since morning, Zoe?"

It was a relief that one butler was with him, he ordered pizza for lunch.

"But I want to eat your cooking, mommy. Can I please come over?

I will be a good boy!"

Only a Devil could say no to this miserable kid, and I had a soft corner for Zoe from the beginning. His childhood resembled mine, one way or another. So, I offered him to come.

"Yeah, sure. You can join us at dinner tonight, Zoe. Jane will love to play with you."

Zoe was exhilarated to get my permission; he thanked me twice before disconnecting the call. No matter how much I hated Melody, sending her to jail at this auspicious occasion felt like a crime, it made me look like a heartless beast in my own eyes.

After all, Zoe was just a kid who wished to be with his parents. And apparently, they were not with him only because of me.

When I mentioned my remorse in front of my family, Jane was the first one to react, she revealed the truth.

"Please don't feel bad, mommy. Zoe would be alone even if his mom was with him."

This statement didn't make any sense, how could Zoe suffer loneliness when his parents were around? So, I requested Jane for more elaboration.

"Mommy, Zoe told me that his mom and dad used to spend their Christmas with their friends, going to parties.

He is habitual of watching cartoons and eating junk food on holidays."

Gosh!

There were many couples out there struggling for a baby, and here we were, ignoring the biggest blessing of nature. Cursing all the ignorant parents like Leo and Melody, I prepared extra food and then got ready. I wore the green velvet gown Bright bought for me.

It matched perfectly with the diamond necklace and earrings. Then I set the table, waiting for Zoe. Bright's compliments with his help adorned a shy smile on my face.

"Someone has set the green forest on fire!"

So, faking a warm smile, I welcomed him.

"It's alright, Leo. Please come …"

He was about to enter with Zoe when a shrill voice registered its presence, calling Leo from afar.

"Babes!

Leo!"

My insides were ablaze with fury to see another uninvited guest. I almost lost my composure and questioned harshly.

"What the hell are you doing here, Melody?"

Author's Note: Long time no see, Melody. Can anyone guess what she's up to?
