Chapter 38: Competing for Custody
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Sarah was stunned. Amelia’s parents? She had heard a little about Bradford City. It was said that Amelia had caused her stepmother, Rebecca, to have a miscarriage. Her biological father, Jonathan, had attacked Amelia in a fit of anger. The Walton family was furious and directly caused the Miller family to go bankrupt. Sarah lowered her eyes. Her Emma was so pitiful and aggrieved. On what basis could Amelia obtain happiness? She should let others see what kind of bad child Amelia was! A child who knew that her maternal grandparents were rich and abandoned her father and grandparents. A child who despised the poor and loved the rich was not worthy of being treated like this by the Walton family!
...
“Let them in,” said Sarah.
The guard was stunned for a moment. “Second Madam… Shouldn’t we report this matter to the Old Master?”
Sarah frowned. “What? My words don’t work anymore?” In the past few years, Sarah had often stayed in the Walton family’s manor. The rest of the Walton family rarely came back. To a certain extent, Sarah was one of the masters of this manor.
Jonathan and Rebecca stepped into the Walton family’s manor as they wished. The Walton family’s manor was magnificent and majestic. Just the lawn in front of the door was so big that one could not see the end. When Jonathan and Rebecca were in Bradford City, they prided themselves on being members of the upper-class society. However, now that they were standing in the Walton family’s manor, they felt like bumpkins who had never seen the world. The two of them tugged at their clothes uncomfortably.
Rebecca said gently, “Hubby, Mia’s grandpa’s house is so imposing. Hubby, you’re Mia’s biological father. No matter what, Mia won’t leave you alone. If the Walton family can help you, we don’t have to hide. We might even be able to live here with Mia.”
Jonathan’s heart burned when he heard that.
Rebecca continued, “If the Walton family doesn’t want to help and is unreasonable, we’ll snatch Mia’s custody. They’re only Mia’s grandparents, but we’re her parents…
Jonathan nodded repeatedly. That’s right. He had to hold on to the fact that he was Mia’s biological father today! As long as the Walton family said a word, all his problems would be solved. He might even make a comeback and use Mia’s custody to exchange for his future. It could be considered Mia’s repayment to him as a father.
After the farce just now, Amelia changed her clothes and came down, preparing to cut the cake again. Whether it was sincere or not, everyone around her smiled and wished Amelia a happy birthday. This was the first time so many people were celebrating her birthday. Amelia was very happy and forgot about the unhappiness just now.
Old Madam Walton said kindly, “Mia, come and make a wish.”
Amelia clasped her hands and closed her eyes. She made a pious wish. I hope that Mommy lives happily in heaven. I hope that Mommy can occasionally visit
Mia. I hope that Grandma’s health would get better and better, I hope that Eldest Uncle’s business prospers and he would be healthy, and Second Uncle, and Third Uncle… Mia made a wish for everyone important in her heart, but she forgot herself. She opened her eyes happily.
Andrew picked her up and smiled. “Mia, blow out the candles.”
Amelia took a deep breath and puffed out her cheeks. Then, she blew out a breath. Unfortunately, she was too strong and weak and only blew out one candle. Everyone laughed loudly at her. A few uncles leaned over and blew out the remaining three candles with her.
Just as everyone was about to clap, a very abrupt voice sounded. “Mia…”
Rebecca and Jonathan had just squeezed in when they saw this happy scene. They could not help but feel indignant. They were in such a sorry state, but Mia was living so happily. However, although they were jealous, they did not forget their previous plan. Rebecca’s voice was soft and weak, and her eyes were red. “Mia, happy birthday. Mommy is late.”
Jonathan also said, “Daddy and Mommy brought you a gift.”
The moment Amelia saw the two of them, the smile on her face disappeared, and her lips pursed involuntarily. She turned her head and did not look at the two of them at all.
Old Master Walton’s expression was ugly as he said angrily, “Who let you in?
Get out!”
Unexpectedly, Jonathan and Rebecca knelt down with a thud. Jonathan looked regretful. “Father-in-law, I was wrong. I admit that I cared too little about Mia. It was my fault last time. The child in Rebecca’s stomach was already six months old. I didn’t expect her to suddenly miscarry.. In my anger, I couldn’t control my emotions and hit Mia a little too hard…”
