The Dead Fiancé's Return: Too Late, She's His Uncle's Wife Now novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42

At this point, he finally let out a cold laugh, “As a person, don’t think of yourself as clever, it can lead to unintended consequences.”

After speaking, he bit his lower lip, with deep intentions.

In this room, only Robert, a fool, felt that Cathy had just helped Anya.

She only wanted to completely take away Calix’s custody rights, to separate them!

Not only was it shameful, but also cruel!

Anya’s perspective

I got into the car with my child.

Once seated in the car, I didn’t say a word to her.

My children always paid attention to my attitude towards them, and now she looked at me silently, unable to help but tug at my sleeve.

“Mom, I was wrong.”

“Tell me, where were you wrong?” My tone wasn’t heavy, but my expression was serious.

My daughter bowed her head, “I shouldn’t have broken their precious vase.”

As she said this, the little girl bit her lip tightly, her eyes cast downward.

There was a hint of moisture in her eyes.

Seeing my child like this, my heart ached a little.

I hugged her close to me.

“You were truly wrong, not properly protecting yourself.”

My daughter looked up, not understanding, looking at me with round eyes.

Chapter 42

I suggested, “When you broke the vase, did you think about your own safety? If you got hurt by the broken pieces, what would you do?”

The vase could be replaced, but if she got injured, it would leave a permanent scar.

“Remember, no matter what situation you’re in, protect your safety to the best of your ability.”

“Yes.” My daughter knew that I was upset because 1 cared about her well–being, and her little heart

warmed.

Seeing my daughter sincerely apologize, I gently patted her little head, “This time it’s also Mom’s fault, for not protecting you well.”

“Mom, don’t blame yourself, you’ve treated me very well.” My daughter loved me deeply.

“But really, Karina doesn’t like Grandma Quinn’s house, she’s too mean and Grandma Quinn is too

cold.”

When mentioning the Quinn family’s home, Karina’s small body couldn’t fail to shudder.

Seeing Karina’s terrified expression, I thought back to the images I had seen in the livestream room.

Diana’s treatment of Karina, there was no trace of affection as she would have for a granddaughter,

it was like dealing with an enemy.

“Don’t worry, Karina, from now on, Mom won’t let you experience such things anymore.” I stroked Karina’s small hair and made a promise.

Karina had never slept well at the Quinn family’s home, but as soon as she returned to my side, her nerves relaxed completely.

Not long after, her eyelids began to fight.

In a blink of an eye, she fell into a deep sleep.

Looking at the exhausted little body in my arms, I held her tightly.

Holding her even tighter.

On the way, Fredrica and John called one after another, asking about Karina’s situation.

Even Thomas sent a message to inquire.

They had seen Karina’s cry for help in the livestream room.

“It’s okay, Karina is out of there, she’s in the car with me,” I said.

“The Quinn family truly lacks humanity!” Fredrica, who had the most fiery temper among the three, had the strongest reaction.

“They did that to Karina, and I saw it in the livestream room, I felt sorry for her, and… these despicable people, we definitely can’t let them go!”

“They dared to hurt Karina, we’ll make them experience the pain too!”

I rubbed my forehead lightly.

“For now, I just want to fight for custody of Karina. Even though she has been hurt, it also made Pamela willing to give up custody. Let’s leave it at that for now.”

It’s not that I didn’t care about Karina.

But there were too many things that couldn’t be done at the same time.

Despite not being able to bear this, I could only choose the best way to resolve it for Karina’s future.

Upon hearing that Pamela had signed the agreement to give up custody, Fredrica’s anger subsided.

“Anya, you did the right thing. We can’t let Karina suffer because of their anger. Let’s go home quickly, I’ll cook a nice meal to welcome you.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up, I felt a warmth in my heart.

Although we were no longer married, I had many friends who cared about me and Karina.

When my car arrived at my residence, Fredrica was standing outside wearing a scarf.

Karina had just woken up, her eyes still hazy.

Fredrica carefully hugged her in her arms and kissed her nonstop, “Our family’s child has been hu

“Not hurt.” Karina shook her head innocently, returning the kiss on Fredrica’s face, not forgetting to look at me, “Mom saved me from there.”

“You’re a good girl, let’s go upstairs.” Fredrica carried Karina towards the gate.

At this moment, my gaze didn’t shift, fixed to a certain point.

There, an image appeared.

A tall and thin figure, with sharp facial features and piercing eyes.

He was also looking at me.

After a while, Fredrica noticed that I wasn’t following, so she turned back and called me.

This time when I turned my head, I also saw that person.

It would have been better not to see him, but now that I had, Fredrica’s radiant face quickly turned

into a look of disgust, as if looking at feces.

In the blink of an eye, she ran over to the man, standing in front of him, “Hey, this is Anya’s home,

we don’t welcome you!”

Calix’s cold gaze faced Fredrica’s anger, as if her anger had no effect on him.

Then, his gaze fell on Karina.

Karina huddled uncomfortably, wanting to avoid any contact with him.

Fredrica didn’t want to pay attention to him. She hugged Karina and pushed me inside, “Let’s go!”

For a second, I didn’t want to have any contact with him either.

“I came to find you.” Calix finally spoke, his gaze locked onto me.

“You two are divorced, there’s nothing more to say!” Fredrica stood up strong to protect me.

Calix gritted his teeth and looked at me, showing no intention of backing down.

The surrounding police officers noticed the tension and many of them looked over.
