When a man had a fancy woman outside, his impatience and disgust would immediately arise in face of his plain wife.
He had begun to lose his temper inexplicably at Jaida.
Their two children had been suffering in their quarrels.
When Victor had seen him quarreling with his mother, he had glared at him like a little furious lion, intending to tear him apart.
At that time, Phillip hadn't found fault in himself. Instead, he had used Victor as an excuse to vent his anger to Jaida.
He had blamed Jaida that she didn't educate the children well enough so that Victor had such a bad temper, didn't know the manners, and treated his father as an enemy.
Every time he had said this, Jaida had looked at him with a distressed face, her tears falling silently.
She had retorted, "Victor became like this all because of you. As his father, you hadn't accompanied him for a single day. Do you know which grade Victor is in now? Do you know the results of Graciella's exam this year? Do you know what Victor likes to eat?
Do you know Graciella has changed her teeth?"
One question after another had come to him, and he couldn't answer any of them.
Only then had he realized how much he had failed as a father.
He had thought that after such a big quarrel, he could have asked for a divorce.
But because of these questions, he had felt guilty in his heart.
He had decided to keep Rebecca as a mistress in another house.
But Rebecca was a very stubborn person. After getting pregnant, she had insisted to give birth to the child.
With Phillip's wealth, it would be fine for him to raise a few more children.
Therefore, he had not stopped Rebecca.
Rebecca hadn't made any more trouble, and he had felt that he was having a good time, enjoying being a two-timer.
In fact, since Phillip had begun to deliberately quarrel with Jaida, Jaida had already suspected that he had cheated on her.
But she had kept making the dinner and waiting for him to come back.
However, he had come back less and less.
Not like Jaida, Rebecca didn't like cooking. She had preferred to go to romantic high-end restaurants with him for dinner.
At that time, he had been young, and he had felt this romantic relationship was exactly what he wanted.
Gradually, the comfortable days had made him a little dizzy with joy.
He had become even more indifferent to Jaida.
Victor and Graciella's resentment toward him had been getting deeper and deeper.
Victor had rarely called him daddy.
Every time he had gone back, he saw Victor playing happily with the little girl Eden from the Clement family.
As soon as Victor had seen him, he would have put on a poker face, as if he had seen an enemy.
And one day, Rebecca, who had been quiet for a long time, had suddenly taken Vincent and Adalynn to Jaida and made a big scene.
Jaida hadn't quarreled with her but watched her shouting and crying. Finally, Rebecca had taken
out the prepared divorce agreement, and Jaida had silently signed it.
The children, of course, hadn't allowed being taken away by her.
Leaving the children, she had left without saying anything to Rebecca.
She said before departing, "Phillip, I don't owe you anything. Give Victor and Graciella the shares under my name!"
This had been the first thing she had said to him that day.
When Jaxon heard this, he looked at him with some embarrassment and said, "Victor and Miss Bleu go to and off work together every day. It's a little difficult to ask her out."
Phillip slightly narrowed his eyes. Victor was very protective of Eden right now.
He looked at Jaxon and said, "Make a phone call first. If she agrees to see me, she will find a way."
Jaxon nodded, "Got it."
Phillip waved Jaxon away.
Jaxon nodded and left.
Phillip's face was pale, and he let out a sigh of pain.
He inexplicably envied Wyatt and Aisling next door.
These two people had been arguing with each other for a lifetime, but they had not divorced.
When they grew old, they still lived an ordinary life together.
Although Aisling was tough, everything she did was for her family.
To some degree, Jaida had been the same. Back then, Jaida had clearly known that he had a mistress outside, but she hadn't said anything or asked him about it. She had only wanted to protect her family and children.
Suddenly, Phillip's phone rang.
He took a glance and was then stunned, with a flash of excitement in his eyes. He quickly picked up the phone.
"Graciella!" He cried out excitedly. Since her wedding many years ago, she never made a phone call to him.
An indifferent voice came from the other end. "Mr. Alwynn, it's been a long time since we last talked."
"Graciella, aren't you willing to call me father?" Phillip said excitedly.
Graciella sneered, "You don't deserve to be called father."
