Chapter 392: Chapter 392: A Love with Nowhere to Go (92)
"Tristan Grayson, you need to be clear about this. Whether there’s a motive or not, this is none of your business now." ’The Kent Family, the Lockwood Family... what do they have to do with any of this?’
Tristan Grayson gave a self-deprecating laugh. "No matter what, I can’t let her get hurt again."
Ian Shaw slammed the file in his hand onto the sofa and said coldly, "So what are you going to do?" He really didn’t understand those two bastards, Tristan Grayson and Cassian Jennings.
’It’s just one woman. Is she really worth getting so tormented over that they end up in this pathetic, half-dead state?’
Tristan Grayson didn’t say another word, his gaze cold and heavy as he stared at the floor...
Around nine o’clock that night, Mika Summers finally left the office.
Jessica Archer had rented an apartment for her on the street opposite the company. It was very close, only a hundred-meter walk away.
The furniture and everything had been set up during the day, so she could move right in.
She was getting off work late, and Kiki was already asleep, so Mika Summers didn’t bother going to the parking garage for her car. The time it would take to get her car from the garage was the same amount of time it would take to walk back to the apartment.
However, Mika Summers didn’t know that this one thought had just saved her and Kiki’s lives. If she had gone to get her car, it was likely neither of them would have survived the night...
Of course, that was a story for another time. Mika had no idea...
「The next day」
Mika Summers didn’t go to the office. Instead, she took Kiki home to see her parents.
She brought her parents back from her brother’s house, so they could help take care of Kiki.
Seeing Mika Summers sitting on the sofa in a daze, Una Sullivan pulled her up and led her into the bedroom.
Once inside, Una Sullivan asked anxiously, "Mika, now that you’re back, are you planning to remarry Tristan?"
"Mom, why would you say that? It’s impossible between him and me."
"How is it impossible? I can tell that Tristan has never forgotten you. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have lived with us for the past two years."
"Mom, I know what kind of person Tristan Grayson is better than you do. He lived with you only because it was more convenient for him to have you take care of Kiki."
"Mika, how can you say that? Even though Tristan wronged you in the past, he’s changed now. Your father and I have seen it with our own eyes." Initially, right after Mika’s accident, Una Sullivan and Joseph Summers had also hated Tristan Grayson to the bone. But he had dragged his gravely ill body to their door and knelt for half a month straight, begging for their forgiveness...
’Could such sincerity be fake? Was it really just to make it more convenient for them to take care of Kiki?’
Una Sullivan refused to believe it. Even if it were an act, it would be impossible to keep it up for more than two years...
"Mom, I’m sorry, but I don’t want to talk about him. Right now, he and I are just Kiki’s father and mother. There’s nothing else between us, and there never will be."
Angrily, Una Sullivan shook off Mika Summers’s arm. "Mika, why do you have to be so stubborn?"
"Mom, for Kiki’s sake, I’ll try my best not to get revenge on him. I can pretend the past never happened, but that doesn’t mean I’ll forgive him."
"Mika, Kiki needs a complete family. You’re being too selfish." Una Sullivan gave Mika Summers a disappointed look, spoke her piece coldly, and left.
A desolate look fell over Mika Summers’s face. The corner of her mouth lifted in a bitter smile. ’Selfish? Am I really being too selfish?’
