NovelEnglishChapter 1242 At the restaurant, Liam and Blake had ordered their food. A woman sat across from them with a twelve-year-old child by her side.
The kid was restless and kept poking at his food and spilling it everywhere. The lady gently chided him, but the kid did not care.

The child’s name was Luke Beaver, while the woman was named Greta Hart. She used to perform in theater plays, and was still as beautiful as she always had been. There were some wrinkles on her face from age, but you could still see that she used to be a gorgeous woman. She was dressed in a red coat and wearing a pearl necklace.
Yet, Greta looked slightly annoyed. She told Liam, “Luke still has tuition classes tomorrow, and my husband doesn’t know I'm here. If you have something to say, make it quick.” The mother and son sat one seat away from each other. At Liam side was Blake. Liam said to her, “I might be getting married soon hope you will come to my wedding.” Greta glanced at Blake's face and pursed her lips. She told him nonchalantly, “I'm content with seeing you grow up healthy. Even though you're getting married, | have nothing to give you. As for the money you transferred last time, I've already returned it. You can check the balance and see if there is any shortage. When the rights to your custody were given to me, | did my due diligence to raise you to an adult. Now that you're an able-bodied adult, | hope you can keep some distance from me and my current family.” Chapter 1242 Liam's smile froze. His hand under the table balled into a fist. Blake saw this and knew how upset Liam was. She had not expected Greta to be so cruel. Ever since she remarried, she did not even want to acknowledge Liam.
Liam lowered his head and had a sunken gaze. He kept quiet, but a sadness emanated from him. Greta continued, “However much money you have, you shouldn't spend it whenever you want. She looks pretty. Both of you should go on and live your own lives.” After finishing her sentence, Greta got up and brought Luke away. Blake wanted to chase after her but was stopped by Liam.
As Greta left the booth, Liam said slowly with a cracked voice, “Don’t go after her.” Atear fell onto his hand as he lowered his head. Blake knelt before him and stared at his reddened eyes, “Are you okay, Liam?” Then, Liam questioned himself despairingly, “How come even she doesn’t want me?” Liam had told Blake that making a reservation in this restaurant was very hard. In order to have a meal with her, he would book a seat almost every year. It was all just to have a meal with her.
“I never blamed her for what happened to me. After she remarried, she left me at a school and never gave me a second glance again,” Liam said.

“Why does she never approve of me? Am | not her biological child?” Liam questioned.
Chapter 1242 Liam had spent most of his childhood in the hospital. While he was in school, he was often bullied by the other students. Liam spent almost all of his time studying to gain his mother’s approval, but had only ever managed to do so once.
While he had been in high school and university, everyone around him would go home for the holidays. Liam, on the other hand, had nowhere to go. He was alone most of the time.
Blake stood up and hugged Liam to try to comfort him while rubbing his back. She told him, “You never needed anyone’s approval. You're doing wonderfully now, and you'll find someone who treats you well wholeheartedly.” “We haven't eaten anything yet. Let's eat first. It's still early, so we can’t take it slow,” Blake continued.
‘It's a shame we couldn't send the invitation out in the end,” Blake thought.
