Chapter 159
Bradley drove back to Primus Mansion and found Esther still sitting in the cold bathtub, looking pathetic
and shivering. Without hesitation, he strode into the bathroom and lifted Esther out. Silently, he carried
her back to the master bedroom.
As Esther gazed at Bradley’s handsome face, her own face pale and blue, she asked resentfully, “Are
you going to marry Liliane?”
Pausing in his tracks, Bradley met Esther’s tear-streaked eyes and softly questioned, “Who told you
that?”
“Just answer me, yes or no,” Esther pleaded, her tears flowing more intensely.
Realizing that Esther, as a patient, couldn’t handle additional stress, Bradley fought to control his
emotions. He couldn’t comprehend why he always lost control when he was around her. As an adult,
he shouldn’t be arguing with a patient, especially one who had saved him in childhood, given birth to

“No, I’m not,” Bradley replied, suspecting that a socialite they had encountered at the cinema had
spread false rumors to Esther. “You’re my wife, legally.”
Hearing Bradley emphasize the word “legally,” Esther smiled through her tears. She clung tightly to
him. and choked. “Darling, I was just scared, I feared that if you left, you would never return. I was
afraid you’d abandon me and our son…
Bradley held Esther close, whispering in a gentle voice, I just had something on my mind and stepped
out for a moment.”
“You won’t abandon us, will you?” Esther asked, her tear stained face filled with uncertainty.
Pity surged within Bradley as he replied, “Crybaby, why do you cry so easily?”
“I don’t know. I’m just scared.” Esther sobbed, her tears flowing even more. “It all feels like a dream
right now. I’m so frightened! Darling, xo.com fast updateplease hold me…”
Bradley tenderly embraced Esther as she nestled, trembling, in his arms.
“Let’s get you out of those wet clothes.”
Taking advantage of his doting, Esther whined, “Help me take them off.”
“Hmm?”
Bradley looked down at Esther in his arms. “Do you know what you’re doing?”
“Or have you grown tired of me already?”
Bradley wanted to test himself, to see if he had truly recovered. But in that instant, all the past
grievances and conflicts resurfaced in his mind, and he realized he couldn’t overcome that hurdle in his
heart.
Esther’s eyes were dazzling in the dark night, like a galaxy filled with stars, irresistibly pulling people in.
Bradley took a deep breath, suppressing his emotions and keeping his composure. “Rest early.”
Esther looked at Bradley in confusion. She was certain there was a moment when Bradley didn’t hate

“Daddy? Mommy?” Felix, sleeping beside Esther, woke up. He sat up abruptly, half-asleep, and asked,
” What are you doing?”
Bradley quickly covered Esther securely with a blanket. I’m tucking Mommy in!”
Felix glanced at Esther, rubbed his eyes, and then looked at Bradley. He cutely said, “Daddy, you
should sleep on this side…”
Bradley was rendered speechless. Esther suppressed her smile and told Bradley, “Go on, go over
there.”
After seeing Bradley lie down, Felix obediently went back to sleep. He pursed his lips and cutely said,
Goodnight, Daddy. Goodnight, Mommy.”
Bradley dared not move, afraid of startling his little prince again. It was truly… headache-inducing.
Unknowingly, Esther fell asleep. She was tired today, and her mind hadn’t relaxed for even a moment.

Bradley half-supported his body and noticed Esther was still wet. He carefully picked out a set of
pajamas and clumsily helped her change.
