Of the Maia Martin stories I have ever read, perhaps the most impressive one is Go After My Ex-wife. The story is too good, leaving me with many doubts. Currently, the manga has been translated to Chapter 340 Finally Got To See His Son. Let's read the author's Go After My Ex-wife Maia Martin story right here.
"Though her fingertips were chilly and her soft fingers stiffened, there was sweat dripping from her palm. It must have been caused by her anxiety and nervousness. He gripped her hand tightly, his fingers brushing gently at her palm."
He could only imagine how strong she had been to give birth to a child over the past year and to raise Jerry by herself. She had even drifted away to such a remote town. It was too much for him to even think about this.
"His palm was warm, wide and soft, wrapped around Belle's dainty hand. In an instant, her heart was inexplicably less fiery. Initially, she had walked in a hurry and stumbled along the way. When she went downstairs, her footsteps were unstable and she almost fell down. Luckily, Calvin held her with his strong arms. His big hands gently grasped her little hand, and his eyes were swirling with tenderness."
"With her mind still disoriented, Belle turned around and looked at him. Calvin's beautiful bright eyes were filled to the brim with determination and steadiness. He stared back at her with a hint of a warm, comforting smile in his eyes."
"Don't worry, he said softly. ""Jerry is also my son."" He assumed a serious expression on his face, but a soft glow faintly rAl Diarted from his eyes. The corners of his mouth lifted up slightly."
"It was that exact smile, carrying with it a muted warmth, and his warm palm that sent a current of comfort through Belle's heart, gradually spreading to all of her limbs. Her entire body and mind relaxed. The anxiety she felt after giving birth to Jerry had vanished, and her heart was floating with a sense of security."
"However, the guilt didn't go away. Jerry was still young, and he had never been separated from his mother. However, she disregarded his feelings and went out for an entire night."
"It must've been because he hadn't seen his mother and couldn't drink breast milk that he ended up like this. After all, Jerry had never left her side."
Belle's tears flowed. Calvin took her small hand and she felt as though she was almost running above the ground. His powerful arms almost lifted her up.
It was a good thing that her house was not too far away.
"From afar, they could hear Jerry's weak cries. It sounded completely different from how brightly and confidently he used to cry. This was a serious illness!"
"Belle's heart began to palpitate. As soon as she approached the gate, she freed herself from Calvin's hand and ran into the house."
"Be careful. Calvin's hand was empty. He felt his heart tighten. Worried that she might fall, he hurriedly reminded her from behind and quickly followed after her."
"Inside the room, Jerry was lying in Kate's arms, crying sickly. His entire face and cheeks were flushed red. Belle's heart leapt into her throat and she whimpered, ""Mom."" She took Jerry from Kate's arms."
"As soon as Jerry was in her arms, she felt as if she was holding a ball of fire, and he was way too warm. When her hands touched his palms and soles, her hands almost got burned. There was a cold towel stuck to his forehead. Kate was worried that his fever would get worse, so she had placed it on his head."
"Jerry, Jerry, my baby, what's wrong? Belle pressed her forehead against his face, tears streaming down her cheeks. Her heart was aching as she said, ""Mommy's back. I'm sorry. I didn't stay with you last night."""
"After hearing Belle's voice and smelling the familiar scent, Jerry opened his eyes. When he saw that it was Belle, his lips curled and he began to cry in a wronged manner. His sobs continued to twitch."
"His face was covered with tears and snot, and his pitiful look made Belle's heart tighten up."
"The mother and son hugged each other tightly, her eyes red as she said, ""I'm sorry, Jerry. From now on, Mommy will never leave you again. Don't cry. It's fine. You'll get better soon."""
Jerry was acting like a spoiled child as he looked up and down at the handsome man who had suddenly appeared in the house. He was crying as he looked at him.
"Jerry cried, ""Hug, hug."""
"Jerry, Mommy is too tired, let Dad hold you, okay? Jerry's body was writhing in the arms of Calvin, and his face was full of tears. Calvin took measures to cajole him and looked down at Jerry. Jerry looked so similar to him. It was as if he was looking in a mirror. The feeling of kinship filled his heart instantly, making him fell fulfilled."
"His footsteps were very fast, and Belle followed him with great strain. She stretched out one hand behind her."
"Belle was already in a state of stupefaction. This was the first time for Jerry to be so ill, and it was all because of her. Other than being anxious, she didn't know what to do."
"When Calvin stretched out his hand towards her, she instinctively extended her own hand. Calvin gripped her hand tightly and pulled her forwards. In this way, Belle stood side by side with him."
Calvin held Jerry in one hand and Belle in the other. The three of them walked forwards.
"Perhaps because he had seen Belle, although Jerry cried from time to time, he did not demand Belle to give him a hug. His black eyes merely glared at Calvin."
"Calvin smiled at him, his eyes full of tenderness. He coaxed Jerry, ""Jerry, don't cry! A man should not cry because of a small fever. You should be strong and don't let your mother worry about you. Do you understand?"""
"No one knew if it was because his all too pleasant voice, or if it was an intuitive connection between father and son. All in all, it was the same."
"When Jerry heard these words, he actually stopped crying. However, his mental state wasn't very good, and even as he lay there in his arms, he looked fragile."
