Chapter 6 Edward snapped out of it and suddenly let go . He stared absentmindedly at Selenas swollen cheeks and her neck , which had been squeezed to a bluish purple color . A sudden pang of heartache flashed through the bottom of my eyes . But it wasnt because of Selena , it was because of me . He raised his hand and gave himself two slaps , muttering to himself . How could I bring myself to lay a hand on Melanie and Anthony , when I had already taken everything away from them ? He was full of despair , constantly tearing at his own hair . Seeing this , Selena struggled to get up and slapped him across the face , grabbing his hand . Edward , if you were upset , you could just hit me , its okay , I can endure any grievances for you ! But Dexter is still so young , today Melanie even dared to lay hands on him in front of me , and that Anthony , he scratched Dexters face . After I was no longer by his side , they , the mother and son , didnt know how to bully Dexter yet ! If you cant bear to part with Melanie , then Dexter and I will leave , I promise never to appear in front of Melanie again , is that okay ? What she said was sincere and heartfelt , which inevitably moved Edward a little . Selena took the opportunity to push the child in front of him and said with a touch of sadness . Dexter , say goodbye to your father . No matter how our lives as mother and son turn out , we will never bother him again ! Dexter pouted and started crying loudly . I didnt want to leave my dad , no , I didnt ! Edward also welled up with tears and embraced Dexter , patiently comforting him . Okay , if Dexter didnt want to leave , he would stay with his dad . Selena hurriedly snuggled up to him , putting on a sympathetic look . Chapter 6 1/3 Edward hesitated for a moment , but in the end , he reached out his hand and pulled her into his arms . Just when Selena thought she had the victory in her hands , the silent assistant stood up . A trace of resentment flashed in his eyes , and he clenched his fist without mercy as he spoke . Matthews , just now when I went to check Mrs. Matthews whereabouts , the hotel sent a surveillance footage . He took out his own phone , opened the video , and handed it to Edward . Edwards originally relaxed expression darkened once again . The video clearly showed that it was not me who laid hands on Dexter . But he didnt hesitate and chose to believe Selena . As soon as I remembered him slapping me and my teary eyes . Edwards heart ached terribly . He trembled and threw the phone , smashing it onto Selenas face . Is this what you said , Melanie and Anthony bullied Dexter ? AG I really didnt expect that you could stoop so low as to harm your own child just to frame Melanie ! He grabbed Dexters collar with his other hand and lifted him up . And you ! Learning to lie at such a young age , just like your mother who was full of lies ! Edward pushed the child into Selenas arms with a cold expression on his face . He took out a card and threw it at their feet . If it werent for you , how could my Melanie bear to leave me alone ! The money in this card is enough for you and Dexter to use until he reaches adulthood . Take him and get out of here quickly , I dont want to see you and your son anymore during this period of time !
