Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Ten years ago , while Caleb Wilson had been traveling with his mistress and illegitimate son , he happened to stumble upon a group of professors - people considered crucial to national development - being threatened by a spy . As a former soldier , Caleb had stepped up . With explosives strapped all over the spy's body , he had made a choice between the professors and his mistress with their child . He had picked up the spy and run straight toward his mistress and son . The blast had torn all of them to pieces . After the incident , Caleb had been honored as a national hero . Ellen had become the grieving widow of that so called here . The title became an invisible shackle that kept her trapped . From that moment on , Ellen wasn't allowed to smile in public , wear bright colors , buy anything luxurious , eat well , travel for fun , go out with friends , or start a new relationship . If she did , people would tear her apart , calling her heartless and shameless . No matter how many years had passed since Caleb's death , the moment she stepped out of line , they'd accuse her of living it up while her husband lay in a grave For the sake of the family's interests , the Wilsons kept Ellen in check and covered up the fact that Caleb had a mistress and an illegitimate . As long as Ellen stayed trapped in grief , public sympathy kept pouring in , supporting the Wilson family's business in return . Atter Caleb's death , the Wilson family's business only grow stronger . Ellen was the only one who paid the price . Strangely enough , Caleb had a son and a father . Not long after his death , they were already showing up at high - end venues dressed to the nines, chatting and laughing with people like nothing had happened . And yet , no one criticized them . People even said Caleb would've been happy to see them picking themselves up and carrying on . But Ellen wasn't allowed to move on . She had to stay trapped in grief , mourning for Caleb for the rest of her life . Otherwise , people would tear her apart , and the Wilson family's business would take a hit . Eventually , Ellen barely left the house . She could count on one hand the number of times she left the house in a year . Her temper got worse and worse . Naturally , she was full of resentment , and the Wilsons had no choice but to take it . Once the dishes were set , the family sat down for dinner . Toward the end of the meal , Morgan suddenly asked , " Ollie , you and Dylie have been married for three years and still don't have a child . Is it that you don't want one , or is something wrong with Dyle ? " Morgan had mentioned having kids to Dylan before , but never to Olivia . Now that they were both here , he decided to ask directly . Olivia hadn't expected such a blunt question from him and nearly choked , coughing hard . Morgan continued , " If Dylio has a problem , he should go to the hospital sooner rather than later . I want to see you two have a child before I die ." Olivia quickly said , " Morgan , please don't say that . You'll live a long and healthy life . Morgan shook his head . " Save the pleasantries . Just tell me the truth . Before I die , will I see a child from you and Dylan ? " Ellen let out a cold snort . " Why are you asking Olivia ? You should be asking your precious grandson . His wife hasn't gotten pregnant all this time . " For all we know , he's already got a few illegitimate kids out there , just like your dead son , hiding surprises for you on the side . " Dylan's face darkened instantly . " Mom , don't talk nonsense in front of Grandpa . " Eden smirked , " You know damn well whether I'm talking nonsense or not . " דו + Chapter 4 Morgan slammed his utensils on the table . " Dylie , have you been cheating on Olivia ? " Dylan lowered his eyes He didn't want to admit it , but he didn't want to lie either , so he nudged Oliva under the table with his foot . Olivia set down her utensils , " Morgan , don't overthink it . Dylan and I will definitely have a child . " We didn't try before because we were worried we wouldn't have the energy to take care of you if we had one , so we've been using protection . Now that you want a great - grandchild , we'll try . " Morgan's eyes lit up , and he patted Olivia's hand in relief . " Olivia , don't blame me for pushing you , I'm doing this for your own good " Olivia nodded Igently . " I understand , Morgan ," After dinner , Olivia and Dylan took a walk around the manor , pretending to be close for Morgan's sake . After a while , Chloe called Dylan . Whatever Chloe said on the other end , Dylan softened his tone and coaxed , " Don't worry , I'm not gonna sleep with Olivia . I promised I'd stay faithful to you , and I will . " Grandpa might be pressuring me and Olivia to have a baby , but it's just talk . Don't overthink it. He won't try to drug me or anything . Okay , stop crying . As soon as I leave Wilson Manor on Sunday afternoon , I'll come straight to you . " Hearing that , Olivia felt a pang in her chest and was about to walk ahead . Just then , Ellen suddenly stepped out , storming up to Dylan with a stone cold face . Before he could react , she snatched the phone out of his hand . Whether by accident o or on purpose , the call was put on speaker . Chloe's pitiful , delicate voice came through the phone . She cried , " Baby , I miss you so much . It's been three months since we last saw each other . a shoot and have time to rest , but I still can't see you right away . I miss your arms so much chil won't be able to sleep tonight " " I finally wrapped up a Ellen sneered , " it's not even dark out and you're already this horny ? What a filthy little tramp . What's wrong , got an itch down there ? If your coochie's acting up , go smack it with a shoe or something . " Don't bring your nasty heat over here . Is Dylan your husband ? Who the hell are you calling ' baby ' like that ? " Chloe didn't quite catch the first part , but the next few words made it very clear Ellen was cursing at her - and it was nasty She felt both furious and wronged . " Mrs. Wilson , we're both women . How can you use such disgusting words to insult me ? Why do you have to tear me down like this ? " Ellen scoffed , " I speak differently depending on who I'm dealing with - civility for decent people , shade for snakes , and straight - up filth for trash like you . you out ." If you've got no shame doing what you do , don't act all shocked when someone calls angry she could barely breathe . She burst into tears and hung up the phone . Chloe was so angry Dylan snatched the phone back , his face grim . " Mom , why are you yelling at Chloe ? She's sensitive . She's not like Olivia , who's thick skinned enough to take whatever you throw at her without reacting . What if Chloe takes it to heart- Ellen said with biting sarcasm , " She's that sensitive but still managed to be a side chick ? " Dylan was a bit irritated . " Chloe's not a side chick " Ellen shot back , " If she's not , then who is ? Are you saying your lawfully wedded wife , Olivia , is the other woman ? " Dylan frowned . " Chloe's the one I've always wanted to marry . Lonly married Olivia because of pressure from Grandpa . I told you this when you first found out I was seeing Chloe , so why are you still calling her a side chick ? " 22:50 Wed , 18 Jun Chapter 4 Ellen snorted , " It doesn't matter why you married Olivia . She's your wife , Anyone else messing around with you is a homewrecker . Don't give me that ' pressure from Grandpa " crap . You made a choice , so deal with the consequences yourself . " This is the real world . You can't have everything you want . You win some , you lose some . If you didn't want Olivia , you should've stood your ground and let your grandpa deal with it . " But if you chose her , then you should've let go of the other woman and been a decent husband to Olivia . Don't be such a pathetic jerk , trying to have it both ways . "
