Chapter 37
“Whether he is our dad or not, I won’t forgive him!”
Ethan echoed, “Neither will I!”
Alfred stared at the photo of Marcus, thinking, “We look like him, and he is Mommy’s husband. So, he is very likely to be our dad.
But it’s not important.
He doesn’t like Mommy, so we don’t like him!”
Yeah, whether he’s our dad or not, we don’t want him. We didn’t have a dad before, and we won’t need one in the Future.”
Which kid wouldn’t want love from their dad?
When they found out that Marcus might be their dad, all three kids‘ eyes lit up.
But when they had to choose between Marcus and Bertha, they chose Bertha without hesitation.
Kids weren’t complicated. They loved those who treated them well and clung to those who cared for them most.
Alfred opened his mouth again.
Calm down. Don’t say anything if Mommy doesn’t mention her past. Pretend that we know nothing.
Now, Mommy knows Marcus is in Los Angeles. She will definitely go to see him for the divorce. Then, we will ake Mommy to leave. Once we settle down in another city, we will start seeking revenge!
Okay!”
But what if he still refuses to divorce Mommy?”
Alfred frowned. “Then let’s force him!”
When Bertha came back, the three little ones had already calmed down.
They pretended to know nothing and threw themselves into her arms.
Bertha didn’t notice anything unusual; she looked at them lovingly.
It was only after seeing them that she realized why she had such strong feelings for Casper in the hospital.
It was because Casper reminded her of Alfred and Jacob. The three kids‘ eyes looked alike.
Mommy, is it done?”
The kids were curious about the divorce thing.
Bertha shrugged and sighed, “No.”
The three little ones all frowned at the same time.“Why?”
“He had something to do, saying he would contact me tomorrow.”
Bertha gave each of the kids a kiss.

“Don’t worry about it. I’ll meet him tomorrow. I can wait.”
Bertha was in a good mood, so the children didn’t say much.
They spent the whole afternoon trying to cheer Bertha up.
The kids doted on their mom.
They loved and would protect her, though those bad people were mean to her.
The next day, Bertha woke up early in the morning.

She checked her phone first, no calls or texts from Marcus. She wasn’t worried. After all, it was only six o’clock.
Just in case, Bertha made a call to Beverly Hills first.
She was told Marcus was busy in the morning and would meet her in the afternoon.
An accurate answer was all she needed. She could wait until the afternoon.
Bertha freshened up, left a note for the kids, and then left.
This morning, she had some time and wanted to meet her two besties.
Back then, Adalee and Emerie were criticized a lot for defending Bertha. Some even anonymously sent them knives and corpses of small animals.
After coming back, afraid of getting them into trouble again, Bertha didn’t directly go to them.
Now, it seemed that no one cared about her past; she finally had the courage to meet them.
Bertha happily went to catch up with her best friends.
However, Marcus wasn’t having a good time.
He was fighting his enemies alone.
The Gonzalez family came to the hospital in a big group to visit Casper.
They wondered when Casper would die.
Marcus stopped them from getting close to Casper’s ward.
Clara Gonzalez complained.
“Marcus, we heard that Casper was sick and hospitalized, so we rushed over in the cold snow to see him. Why can’t we come in? What do you mean?”
Marcus didn’t even look at her. He went straight to the point and asked his grandfather, Brook Gonzalez.
“What’s your purpose? Just say it directly. Don’t waste our time.”
